2.2 beta 2, there's some lag for me while scrolling in the drawer. I'm using 6*6 grid, vertical, paginated.

P.S. This seems to be only concerning the icons - widgets in the drawer are scrolling very smoothly even while loading the previews.

I wish that I could say the same but it hasn't changed for me. What's worse is that it adds so many extra apps to my folders that they're useless. This is on a stock unrooted Note 2.

Hi,

First, a question: I have installed the latest beta (2.2), but I want to go back to the last stable version (2.1.1). How do I do that?

Last, a suggestion: translucent status bar and navigation buttons bar work like a charm in Xperia ZL, but in the app drawer they must turn black, as they do when I open apps like Gmail. That's how it works in Sony Xperia stock launcher.
[Nova Launcher] sams0n1:
Hello, got a problem on latest beta with my s4. When i go to an app and go back to my homescreen, my notification bar is no more transparent. After go again to another app and back to homescreen, it is transparent again. This happens very often. On 2.1 all is fine. Galaxy S4 Stock 4.2.2

I have the same problem on the new betas.... It didnt happen before
[Nova Launcher] Phantom1275:
1. I have seen Kevin's post. I have got the 2.1.1 apk, but I can't install it over 2.2 beta. I guess Android does not allow you to downgrade, this can only be done uninstalling 2.2 and reinstalling 2.1.1. I don't want to do that because I will have to configure my desktop again (backup and restore Nova settings helps, but does not do everything).

Only pre-installed apps can be downgraded.

2. I see your point. App drawer in Sony Xperia launcher is also translucent, matching the status and navigation bars. But I prefer a black app drawer, just like stock Jelly Bean, and it's weird to enter it and see the two bars not "joining" the black.

Yeah, guess I want the best of both worlds: translucent bars in desktop and black bars elsewhere. Hey, there's a way: what about a tweak, an option to make status and navigation bars match the same transparency of the app drawer? So if I set it black, they will be black, and if I set it transparent, they will follow it?

When I initially updated to beta 2 (last night), the launcher immediately crashed. I've used it very briefly since then, but without incident.

This morning, (about 15 minutes ago) I unlocked my phone and nova must have locked up as it crashed again (and after 2 minutes, maybe, restarted).

It is probably a fluke, but I hadn't seen this before beta 2. Just to be safe, I'm emailing a logcat file. I'm currently using a Pantech Burst locked, with stock ICS.

Hope it helps. :)

[Nova Launcher] Kurre:
Ah okay, I didn't know that about downgrading..I just thought that you didn't know where to look for the earlier build.

Statusbar and navigation bar transparencies are controlled by ROM..AFAIK launcher can only enable those features for the homescreens and app drawer, but can't control their transparency values..or at least that would probably be quite dirty hack.. :)

For my Galaxy Nexus with PA the 2.2beta 2 crashes every time i open nova launcher. I had to switch back to "stock" to be able to do sth. Any ideas on how to fix it? or just wait for an update? I can't even access the settings...
[Nova Launcher] killchain:
You should be able to downgrade with the help of Titanium Backup. Even if you don't have a backup of a previous version, you can backup the current one, uninstall, install an older one, then restore the data from the backup. TB tends to pack more information (actually all of it) than Nova itself.
[Nova Launcher] jasonsf:
When I installed Beta 2, my subfolders in the app drawer promoted themselves to the top level. When I recategorize them to be sub folders, they stick for a while but then lose that setting again. Did something change with the way subfolders are handled?

Awesome work on the whole, though!

Thanks-

Jason
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
A "please" might be a nice way to start a feature request, don't ya think?

Anyway... Drawer tabs are there for a reason - to let you know what grouping of apps you're looking at. They also serve to allow quicker navigation of the drawer... If you have hundreds of apps, I doubt you really want to scroll through every single one, just to get to Zenonia, in your Games tab.

Secondly... Really? 150 random app icons, flying around is appealing to you as an animation? Ok... Whatever floats your boat. :rolleyes:
[Nova Launcher] Rockwig:
Anybody else having issue where the 'Unread Count' aren't showing all the time (gmail & aosp mail), and then when they do show, they always disappear?
[Nova Launcher] HadenVR:
Loving the glass transition effects though the translucent coloring left from the effects when swiping from one home screen to the next is not concise as intended to be which should blend in the background once transitioned and not be showing a translucent background for a split second thus making transitioning home screens appear finicky for the time being until the issue has been taken into the hands of the developer.
[Nova Launcher] Nightshadow931:
One question.How to I change that icon for going into app drawer ?I want to have a normal, default/stock icon, not this nova icon.
[Nova Launcher] bmg1001:
It's not supposed to be like that... Weird. Try long pressing, adding the app drawer through Nova Actions, then see if it's the normal icon.
[Nova Launcher] benrees21:
Latest Beta fixed the dock/widgets being visible for a second when entering app drawer! Thanks very much! Have used Nova since ICS hit and that's the first problem I've ever had with it Lol.
[Nova Launcher] Nightshadow931:
It says that it is a default icon here lol.
[Nova Launcher] killchain:
Hold down an empty space on the homescreen and select 'Nova Actions'. 'App Drawer' should be the first in there. Tap it, remove the messed up icon from the dock and place the new one there.

There have been something wrong with the icons since one or two major versions (maybe since 2.1) - before, if I selected for an app or folder, say, Google's icon, then it would always be the Google's icon from the currently set icon pack and that would be reflected on changing the icon pack. In 2.1, a manually set icon always stays the same after changing the icon pack. I don't know if I explained that clear enough, but that's my experience.
[Nova Launcher] Nightshadow931:
It actually happens when I restore settings backup from earlier version.

When I clear data, everything is alright.
[Nova Launcher] DusSoSa:
very nice new ICS Launcher! :good:

thanks!
[Nova Launcher] aeroman:
hey guys nice launcher, maybe the best actually, is not currently on a good way.

with new beta is the change from homescreen --> appdrawer even slower,

Galaxy S2 I9100, v2.2beta2 (prime), bug report:

1. After each reboot, in the drawer, apps stored inside a folder are duplicated outside of their respective folders.

Moreover, that's affect apps randomly.

2. After each reboot, in the drawer, apps are randomly disappearing from their respective folders.

These bugs were already reported in v2.1.1 & v2.2beta1 and are still unfixed. It's really annoying.

For me, in 2.2 beta 4 it seems the same as in beta 2.

2.2 beta 1 was almost buttery smooth, then something in beta 2 changed...

Again, scrolling a long app list (All apps) is kind of jerky, laggy, whereas the widgets list is scrolling almost perfect. This is PA 3.69 (4.2.2), no 4.3 yet. If this is an optimization for 4.3, then it shouldn't make things worse for older versions, right?

Hi,

Could someone please explain to me how to remove that annoying coloured frame that is plastered over each scroll effect? Is there no way to add transparency to the "Color Theme"?
[Nova Launcher] daystocome:
I've been using Nova for quite a while now and can't get to any other launcher.

Never had any problems and still working fine on a custom paranoid 4.2.2, so smooth and fast you forget it's there.

The new dock styles are great! would love to add some transparency to them, though.

once you set a background style there is no way to go back to plain color, at least I tried and didn't see any option for that.

Nope, its not possible with the older transition effects yet.

[Nova Launcher] Shahpur.Azizpour:
I also have a request: please don't overload the app with 1000 different settings (this is not the case yet, but just wanted to mention this after reading all those feature requests).

Most other App Launcher got some performance hits after the dev overdid the whole settings stuff. Nova is so good because it keeps a lot of stuff from the stock browser.

If somebody wants a launcher that looks completely different and 100% customizable there are enough other options on the Android Market.

The flashable zip in the OP is still beta7 .. if one downloads the update through NL then the file is an install about NovaLauncher_beta8.apk not a flashable zip so it behaves correctly. If this file is renamed via root explorer and put into place ... it causes the widgets to reset upon reboot and they have to be reconfigured.

Could there be an option built into the updater to ask the user "flashable zip or apk" and let them choose? Or at least could the original post have it's links updated to the current beta? :)

BTW. Love beta8 .. other then the widget issue ... it's working really well.

Just read 10 pages of comments about the margins and I could not figure out what was the issue...as the screens/drawer look the same on my phone as v5 and v7. BUT, I use 5x5, so that may be why everything looks the same to me?

Very happy with v8 thus far, but the one issue I did experience is that my backups from v5 and v7 did not work with v8. When I restored the backups from previous versions, I got a FC every time. I had to rebuild everything, but now things are restoring from backup just fine.

The same folder brought to the main screens however will open and scroll fine.
