Problem installing newest Beta 4. When I press the "install" button on this screen the button doesn't click and nothing happens.

Edit... This is on a Galaxy Samsung GS4. Currently running Nova Beta 2.
[Nova Launcher] Starymari:
This doesn't have anything to do with Nova, it's got to be a phone issue...
[Nova Launcher] jpatnorman77:
Okay. I just installed the latest stable version from the Play store and send to run fine on my phone now. No issue with the Internet shortcuts I had before.
[Nova Launcher] MattyDip:
This could happen because you installed screen adjuster right? Disable it momentanly
[Nova Launcher] jpatnorman77:
I don't know of any screen adjuster I've installed or set.
[Nova Launcher] MattyDip:
On my phone that happened with this app. I think an app causes this problem. Try to unistall the lastest app you installed.
[Nova Launcher] ikjadoon:
Anyone else's hidden apps reappear after rebooting?

I use an AT&T Samsung Galaxy S3 16GB, rooted with the stock 4.1.1 ROM (LK4). All my apps are updated as of today, 2.1 Nova Launcher.
[Nova Launcher] Piccles:
Are you using an app like "Screen filter"...?
[Nova Launcher] krackers:
Would it be possible to add an option to revert to the app drawer folder style that was present in versions before 2.1? The new folder style in the app drawer is too cramped and cuts off the names of many apps. Please consider my request - I'm sure it would not take too long to implement!
[Nova Launcher] bogdan1980:
Your request is good, we all have this problem. Latest apps in my folders are cut in half.

Is there a way to change the icon label font/color without changing the system font?
[Nova Launcher] krackers:
To you and anyone else who would like an option to revert to the old folder layout in the app drawer, please up-vote the feature request in the Nova Launcher Feedback page so that it is implemented quicker.

Link to the mentioned page:

Adjust Folder Spacing

To the dev: Please consider implementing this. I assume you already have the code for the layout from the previous version. It would only require the addition of a toggle in the "folder" tab in the settings panel to switch between the old layout and the new one.
[Nova Launcher] Capp5050:
Just used Titanium Backup to integrate a recent gmail app update into the system ROM. The gmail app icon has disappeared in Nova and I can't find it anywhere. The app is there, I can load it by searching for it or using Play, but I cannot get it to appear in the apps drawer nor create a desktop shortcut.

I'm pretty sure this is a Nova issue, because when I revert back to TW, the app icon is there. Also, if I Clear Data on Nova and re-install Nova, the icon is there (but then I have to recreate all my shortcuts, folders,tabs etc.)

Using Prime btw, and gmails not the only example.

Is there a way to "refresh" the app drawer? Perhaps that would help. Other suggestions?
[Nova Launcher] natezire71:
Restart Nova. Reboot your phone. If that doesn't work, just don't integrate it.
[Nova Launcher] Capp5050:
Thanks. Tried restarting Nova, tried rebooting, tried clearing cache, no go.

"Just don't integrate it" was not exactly the response I was looking for. I don't care to clog up my limited internal storage with two copies of the same app (x all those apps) whenever they're updated.
[Nova Launcher] recDNA:
Also, is there a way to have no grid locks so an app can be placed or enlarged anywhere? There is a lot of empty space I could put a little widget in but it snaps to grid spot. I realize I can put a widget on top of another. I mean exactly where I place it. Thanks
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
Grid snapping is a standard Android function, and I'm not sure if Nova can override it. It might be possible to do with root access, but if you're not rooted, you'd be out of luck. Apps can't be resized anyway though. I'd suggest just increasing the grid layout size, and resizing/moving your widgets and apps into the positions you want.
[Nova Launcher] recDNA:
Thanks, can the icon label fonts or font colors be changed? I do know launchers can do that.
[Nova Launcher] natezire71:
Didn't know that would be an issue. Although, Gmail doesn't use up that much space. You shouldn't have two copies of Gmail. I don't think Nova is necessarily the issue so much as how Gmail is being handled incorrectly. That's the real issue. Unless I am misunderstanding something?
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
We can't mess with the fonts at the moment, but it's something that Kevin could code in if he wanted to. A lot of people have asked specifically about font color, but I haven't seen a request for actual font changing yet. I'm sure it can be done though... Minimalistic Text allows for tons of fonts, and it's a non-root app... Kevin would have to be interested enough to do it though.
[Nova Launcher] #illidan:
Unless Gmail is a system app you wouldn't get 2 copies on it if you update it. The Play Store doesn't have the capability to write to the /system folder even if your phone is rooted so the updated app get placed in /data. To avoid that either you can either make is as a normal app or keep manually replacing the app in /system.

For your issue can you try installing it as a normal app first & then replacing it in /system. That's what I always do & I've never had an issue with Nova so far. This time due to Gmail's staggered rollout I downloaded the app from androidpolice & then directly replaced it in /system again without any issues.

[Nova Launcher] chikimonke:
You can also enable Widget Overlap and Overlap when placing under the advanced settings in the desktop settings. So if on widget leaves a bunch of empty space you can place another one on top of or underneath the first widget. Long press on an overlapping widget and you can send it to the back, helpful if you aren't able to touch one of the widgets.
[Nova Launcher] recDNA:
I tried. The overlapping widgets cannot be placed in empty spaces because they snap to the grid spot where the other widget is
[Nova Launcher] Capp5050:
Thanks. In this case, Gmail was factory installed as a system app, surprisingly along with a bunch of other apps like imdb, amazon (stock, rooted Verizon Galaxy S4). I guess I can delete the System version and then reinstall a Market /Play version instead.
[Nova Launcher] bungadudu:
Nova prime is great! I love it!

But yesterday I tried Next Launcher 3d and I really liked that it allowed to change the size of the icons, their angle and put them wherever I want on the homescreen in pixel size steps.

I think this would be a great addition for Nova!

Any plans towards this?
[Nova Launcher] Spincervino:
I'm trying to implement Nova as default launcher of a rom, but I can't get it to work! :(

It just force close when I flash the rom with Nova in the system apps, but when I download it from the playstore it's fine, any ideas?
[Nova Launcher] oae08:
Is it possible to add an effect (movement of the icon) when clicking it and entering an app?
[Nova Launcher] DonHuan:

[Nova Launcher] Spincervino:
I know I can do that.

But what if i'm making a rom that i want to share with everyone and Nova doesn't work if I put it on the system apps directory?

[Nova Launcher] awalts:
Large grid size but icons are too small

I'm a long time user of Nova launcher but new to customizing my home screen with UCCW. I'm playing around with a steup that works well on a 12x12 grid (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=28827184&postcount=6224).

However, if I use a 12x12 grid, my icons are

really

tiny - even if scaled up to 130%.

Are there any good workarounds for this?

I've come across Desktop VisualizeR(DVR) which might let me scale to larger icons (or pictures).

Are there any other ways to get larger icons?

Thanks

[Nova Launcher] Spincervino:
Why don't you use a tinier grid? Do you really need a grid this big?

[/COLOR]

Did you tried the free version or the paid version. Because on the paid version you can customize your own icon, such as giving the con glassy or shaded look, pretty much like making your own icon theme. Before I bough the next launcher 3D, I wondered why it was so expensive, now I know where the money goes. I'm still discovering what the next launcher can do, but I also like the simplicity and the robustness of NOVA launcher, there I'm running them both side by side.

Deleting stuff from /system gains you nothing and will cause you problems if you do it wrong or delete the wrong thing.

I hope not.

Where are my games???

DOH!!

i arranged all my games in a folder but then i accidentilly deleted the folder :( Now i cant find the games that were in the folder. i can acces them by making shortcuts or via google play, but i cant find them in the app drawer, how do i bring them back??

I send an email to kevin but I don't get an answer
[Nova Launcher] ikjadoon:
Hmm, I downloaded some icon packs from the Play Store and they worked great.

Can you try changing the icon to an icon from an app you have installed? Then, we'll be able to tell if it is your icons or Nova.
[Nova Launcher] Ci-Fi:
There is an extra space between the folder and the apps in the folder once you open it up. Anyone else experiencing this?

For some reason the fix for no icon text in landscape hasn't worked for me. There's still no text. I've restarted the launcher and the phone with no luck.

Can anyone post the beta7 apk please? Not digging the new margins at all.
[Nova Launcher] ErOR22:
Where can I get the latest update? From first page it's Beta5 and when doing the update through the launcher it says Beta5 is latest...

Also can you make screen transitions smoother like Launcher 360.

Oh and another thing, I moved the apk to /system and installed from there but still doesn't show that it's installed as a system app. Did I miss something?

Cheers
[Nova Launcher] deidein:
Happiness is achieved by waiting a bit and then reading comments. I'll patiently wait comfortably on beta7 until the next one =)
[Nova Launcher] just4747:
Not sure why all the complaints. New margins are great, they simply allow more space to be used visually, widgets to be wider without messing them up, and less wasted side space. Makes the screen look as big as it really is. Why the dislike on this? Maybe we can have options for margin width to make everyone happy?

Also, I use 5 screens and not getting any issues with icons responding.

Also, love the card animation option for the homescreens!!

Only issues I came across was one time tonight the app drawer stayed completely black and I had to force stop Nova to get it back. Also, still getting somewhat frequent redrawing of homescreens after returning from another app. Not sure why Android can't stop having this problem. Why do the homescreens/icons/widgets have to crash/reload/refresh so often still? Not all the time but enough to be noticeable and annoying.
[Nova Launcher] steeeler:
Loving beta 8 and the new margins. Finally my phone gets to show off the big screen.
[Nova Launcher] deidein:
i think they're talking about the pages in their app drawer.
[Nova Launcher] davidukfl:
exactly this. just randomly app icons in the app drawer will stop responding
[Nova Launcher] just4747:
Oh ok, then disregard that part of my post.

Also having some issues with a "ghosting", "outline-following" effect when pressing the apps drawer icon from the homescreen. It has this weird blurring effect that's not too noticeable, but produces a black-rectangular box in the calendar widget when it's 3x2.
[Nova Launcher] phantomzer0:
..... whoopa
[Nova Launcher] 404 ERROR:
I posted a problem earlier about a weird, blurring, outlining effect from widgets and icons that happened when you pressed the "apps drawer".

I found out that the news widget (standalone or with weather) has something to do with it. Once the effect occurs, it doesn't disappear even after you get rid of the news widget. You have to restart Nova launcher. I think it's a bug with this launcher, but not 100% sure.

Yes, I could but shutter isn't just a hidden widget but a regular app icon as well. 2 in one. If I choose to use popup widget app, I have to make separate icon for starting applications and for starting widgets. Not cool at all. :(

Hi, using the bought version for a while now and i really like it.

I only have a problem with some settings being lost after phone reboots (no critical power off - default shutdown...)

E.g. setting custom names and icons for applications in the drawer (which is a cool feature, as no other launcher i used ever had it - and i know, that it is pretty newly implemented)...

When rebooting the phone, the custom icons/names are gone... and when changed before, the grouping for some icons in the drawer, too.

However, I have my folders setup on my homescreen.

I have to put them back in again and it stays there fine untill I reboot.

Searched this thread, didnt see anyone asking this question. to the Dev: do you have any plans to add "auto add to folder" feature, like "folder orgenizer" for an example?
[Nova Launcher] NetSkipper:
After using Holo Launcher for almost an year, the devs of SlimRoms decided to move to Nova Launcher after they've made tests and found that it's better for the ROMs in terms of memory and so..

Of course, I wanted all the features, so I've purchased Prime..

In general terms, Nova is very good, but there are some friendliness in use that it's missing and exists in Holo.

For example working with Application Tabs in Drawer. In Holo, I'm entering a Tab and in edit mode checking all the apps that I want to be in this tab. Easy and quick. Also there is an Edit Tabs option under the Menu button when I'm in Drawer for a quick access to this feature.

I also can configure what options will be under the Menu in Desktop. Lock Desktop is very handy to access quick, Edit Desktops and so...

I'm also having an issue with some widgets.. Attached an example of TuineIn Pro widget.. 4x1. The Desktop grid is 5x7 (used the same in Holo). I've already tried to turn off all the resize and overlay options, it didn't help..

I believe I have the same issue. Updated yesterday and all of my apps in the desktop folder that are saved to external memory disappear. Worked fine in the prior version.

Hi, another good option would be an easy way to tell which apps are not in folders other than the main "Apps" group. When you have a lot of apps, it is very easy to lose track of them in the main collection. Folder Organizer has great features with respect to organizing apps, including a default group that is solely comprised of apps that are not in any other groups.
