Hey guys sorry im a noob so im going to ask a noob question Im thinking of switching over to Nova Launcher from Touchwiz rooted with hyperdrive rom. Will I lose any of my folders, App notifications or other settings with touchwiz? Will I have to setup fresh?
[Nova Launcher] happiness4u:
[Q]

Is it possible to hide the icon of this app on the drawer? I want to hide it from the drawer permanently (remove the launcher intent on androidmanifest.xml), coz I don't want anyone tinkering stuffs on my device as I am currently using this as my default rom launcher.

Auto-add widgets not working

N7-2012 / KRT160 / Nova 2.3b1

After upgrading to 4.4, widgets from newly installed PlayStore apps are not being added to Nova home screen, however, they do appear on stock home screen.
[Nova Launcher] niteh@wk:
On first launch after you install Nova, it has Import from another launcher button in the home screen. You can use it to import folders from Touchwiz launcher. You will have to recreate the widgets. Your Touchwiz settings are not lost, if you switch back to Touchwiz they are still there. You can also Import anytime in Nova Settings >> Backup and Import.
[Nova Launcher] niteh@wk:
If you remove the launcher intent, that will break Nova. You can hide the Nova icons from the drawer by moving to the Hidden Apps.

Nova settings >> Drawer >> Drawer Groups

Edit any tab

Select Hide Apps
[Nova Launcher] happiness4u:
If I could decompile Nova, I won't ask this Q after all. Nova is compiled in a way that no one could decompile it (I have the prime version). I know how to hide it on app drawer. But I have it integrated with the settings menu, and I don't need the icon anymore. Another thing, some people around me, knows how to unhide those apps from drawer, which makes it more annoying. lol :D
[Nova Launcher] niteh@wk:
Well, you give them access to your phone, there's only so much you can do to lock/restrict it. There are apps in the PlayStore that can protect your other apps from being accessed, they have to enter a PIN/password to run the protected apps.

Would the New App setting in Nova Settings help? I personally do not use this setting both the e PlayStore and Nova. I hate it messes up my well organized and beautiful desktop every time I install an app.
[Nova Launcher] happiness4u:
The main objective was to hide the icon automatically after install, as I have the Nova settings on settings.apk. Got it? I don't want to set anymore options or install any additional security app just for the sake of hiding the icon. It's kinda weird to have nova setting icon while having it integrated on the settings menu as well. (it automatically overrides and replace the default launcher on CM settings).
[Nova Launcher] CapeData:
:o Ha! Thanks, I missed that - was it in the non-beta version also (because it used to work with 4.1.2)?
[Nova Launcher] xtugap:
I don't know if some one have report yet this bug, some times when I drag a icon over a folder some times the last stay over the folder and when I try open that folder it open the last app I drop on that folder..
[Nova Launcher] niteh@wk:
That's a little bug I have seen in previous versions as well. It seems like the icon isn't really added/moved into the folder but just sits on top of the folder. Seems like a drawing issue. You can restart Nova and see if that helps or move the icon out of the way and try again.

Small E-mail Folder Shortcut Bug?

*EDIT: Never mind, I realized the bug I found is actually an Android bug with e-mail folder shortcuts, not a Nova bug.
[Nova Launcher] andydumi:

[Nova Launcher] KL7000F:
thanks guys, transparency with regard to the nexus 5 drawer and dock / statusbar runs great! :victory:
[Nova Launcher] JohnSpawnVFX:
This is just my opinion, but your case is higly specific and not an example of the majority of people who use Nova Launcher. After all, i'd say few users have their Nova settings integrated with Android/Rom Settings. Therefore, if the Nova settings icon disappeared after install, most people wouldn't be able to go to the Nova settings.

Additionally, as far as I know, you have to go to the Nova settings to hide apps from the drawer, so if you hide the settings icon, how would the people you hand over your phone to be able to unhide the icon? Unless there are other means to get into Nova settings and therefore, hiding the icon would be irrelevant because they would be able to get into the settings anyway...

Hope I'm being clear with what I want to say.

I got you man. Yeah, mine was an isolated case. I'm still trying to find ways to decompile-recompile the Nova. That's the only way for me to hide the icon. Like what I've said, mine was integrated in the settings.apk. Thanks for your response guys.
[Nova Launcher] akhan47:
My biggest issue with the latest beta is widgets not updating. I have none of the option in the labs menu selected but my widgets just won't update. Especially annoying with the email widget.
[Nova Launcher] happiness4u:
Is the notification bar transparency only available for kitkat? I'm not having that option in the 'look and feel' menu, only the 'show/hide status bar'. :( I'm pertaining to 2.3beta1 Prime on a 4.1.2.
[Nova Launcher] Roger.T:
Great Launcher and nice update to 2.3 beta2 :)

Everything works good.

Only one thing i missing. A Gesture Option for swipe to the Menu like on Apex.

That would be great.

Good work!
[Nova Launcher] scarmon25:
Not sure if its been mentioned. But the new beta, the folder selector for light/dark background won't stay in checked. Also when using light background the folder text when opened is really light. Just some input both of which are very minor.

Thank you for your useful post. No wonder you've collected so many 'thanks'. Even a lmgtfy would have gotten me further. :good:

Loving this launcher, it's the best!
[Nova Launcher] funksoulbrother:
As Apex isn't working that well with 4.4, I thought I'd try Nova. I like it, but I have 2 questions.

With Apex I could set up gestures, so for example, I set it up so that if I swiped up on a home screen it would open the app drawer. Once I was in the app drawer, swiping up would take me back to the home screen.

In Nova, you can do a similar thing. I set it so that swiping up on a home screen opens the app drawer, but once I'm in the app drawer, I can't swipe up to get back to the home screen. Is there any way to have it do that?

Secondly, with Apex, when I set up notification badges for missed calls, texts and emails, it allows me to choose the app that the badge displays on. I'm not seeing the same option with Nova. Is there a way to do that?

Thanks!
[Nova Launcher] niteh@wk:
The second feature requires Nova Prime license, and you need to install Tesla Unread plugin from the PlayStore. This launcher is so much better with Nova Prime license. It's well worth the purchase.

---------- Post added at 07:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:04 AM ----------

Try the widgets settings in Lab like Restart widgets on resume. Enable Lab by holding the volume down button while in Nova Settings menu.

Also make sure to whitelist the apps for the widgets in your task manager/task killer.
[Nova Launcher] funksoulbrother:
Thanks for the response. I should have mentioned that I bought it and downloaded the plugin, but I don't see a way to specify which app shortcuts the badges appear on.
[Nova Launcher] txx3:
download fails on me everytime????
[Nova Launcher] niteh@wk:
Got ya. Currently TeslaUnread only supports these apps in the screenshot. You can also use the Missed It plugin which I think supports more apps.
[Nova Launcher] niteh@wk:
Try the beta apk download link in OP. That worked for me.
[Nova Launcher] LordManhattan:
The thing is it'll take you a few seconds to find it on Google instead of asking these questions here. Is it pure lazyness? I think so. Anyways, you solved it yourself (see, you can do it!), so that's the end of that.
[Nova Launcher] nightcrow:
Again a very useful reply, makes me wonder how you collected all your 'thanks' with these kind of posts. Maybe you should consider not to post if you're only being unhelpful and irritating.

As I stated: I already tried power + home etc. In other words: I googled my ass off trying to find out why this didn't work. Will spell it out for you next time so even you can understand.

Ontopic: been using B3 for some time now and really like the look and feel of it. Could it be possible to make the statusbar completely transparent too?
[Nova Launcher] genocide_ru:
Same here, was excited to see the same behaviour as on N7, but it says I can not use transparent status and navbars. Is it an issue or it will not work on stock N10 KitKat?

If you can't have transparency from the launcher you can use Xposed Framework Installer + Gravity Box and set the transparency... It works
[Nova Launcher] :
Hi,

Exactly what I thought, the notification bar and navbar are transparent on stock...

Maybe because the transparency is handle by the SystemUI.apk (right?) and with the LG G2 we don't have SystemUI.apk but LGSystemUI.apk... Maybe Nova launcher can't see/read or whatever the transparency from it (the xml code?) :confused:

Maybe a stupid reasoning from an early Sunday morning :confused::p

Xposed mods, ok awesome the things you can do with them, but for me no more Xposed modules because memory leaks, lags, etc... (and I tested with and without).

Like player911 said we have transparency on stock (like another overlays) but why we can't have it with Nova while others may have...

:)
[Nova Launcher] Daniel:
Yes please add support for transparency for Lg g2. Or support transparent notification bar for root users
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
Guys, be patient... I think you're underestimating the potential for bugs that each major Android release brings (and KitKat is a major release). If your device has transparency by default (ie. it came with it out of the box, and unrooted), then I'm sure Kevin will address the issue - he always has. Give him some time to iron out the kinks... We'll all get what we want eventually.

It works because the guy uses a modified framework-res (thus it's an android limitation). Read the comments on that post, everything is there.

+Kevin Barry there are two little bugs annoying me since the stable version that are transitioning to the new betas, both on the app drawer. 1 - if you swipe slowly it makes the icons jump 3/4mm, it's not smooth. 2 - if you swipe right the 3D effect is not symmetric but if you repeat that action a few times it behaves normally.

Lock Desktop

Quick question for nova devs or anyone - is it possible to modify the lock desktop feature to disable the long press unlock option? I have a fairly unique use case for Nova where I'm locking a device down as an education platform, and need a way around this feature.

Any ideas on how I can do this, either through modifying it or otherwise? I've done some research and it seems like others are also interested in this on the feature request threads (probably for different reasons) but I haven't seen any ways to implement.

Great app, but it still needs an easy way to identify and organize apps that are not categorized in folders. Right now, there is no easy way to do this from the "All" menu. ADW has this and so does Folder Organizer.
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
I'd suggest using UCCW to achieve the layout you want. It's a really great app, it's free, and I know there are skins for the widget you're looking for...because I've made them. :D

Neither of these things can happen, because both features have closed API's and source. The Google Now page could be mimicked, by adding a full screen widget to the left-hand screen, but that seems like kind of a janky way of doing things.

I'm sure Kevin is looking into both of these things, but for now, Google has finally created a launcher that retains its competitive advantage, due to the closed nature of its two most unique features. :(
[Nova Launcher] thommy86:
I use UCCW a lot.. But then it will transfer when sliding the screen.. Now I am using apex for this.. but nova has been supported a lot more! This is the only reason not to use nova..
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
True, using UCCW would require you to set up a widget on each screen, which can be a bit annoying... I was just throwing it out there as a suggestion, so you could continue using Nova without any real issues. I can post the link for my UCCW skins page if you want to take a look at them... They're all free. :)

Sure! So I'm creating tablets that can essentially be locked down into a single launcher, without being able to be modified. Nova launcher has basically all of features I need (especially the autoadd apps feature), but I'm running into one issue:

When you lock the desktop, a user always has the option to long-press anywhere on the desktop or on an app icon, and get a popup saying 'do you want to unlock the desktop?'

I need to find a way to prevent this popup from occurring, so users won't have the option to unlock the desktop and start adding/moving/removing things.

Any ideas? Thanks again

@kevin@TeslaCoil

I've been using Nova for a time on my GNex, and also bought Prime.

Now I have LG G2, and for some reason, some of the LG widgets are cannot be seen in Nova (for example the Task Manager). Is it LG restrictions, or something that can be solved?
[Nova Launcher] niteh@wk:
Couple things you can do:

* Increase the dock height to Large (in Dock settings)

* Reduce the icon size

---------- Post added at 05:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:02 PM ----------

Some widgets are specific to a specific launcher. I'm not sure about the G2 but on Samsung TW, stock widgets such as weather are only seen by the TW stock launcher. Another example, GO widgets are only seen/creatable in GO Launcher.

What I want to see or unless i'm completely missing it is something ADW (i think its that) has, so when you make a group in the app drawer, you can add that group directly to the screen as a folder, without having to update and add things to folders, because apart from that its fine.

Unlock desktop (in Desktop setting), then drag drop a folder from the drawer onto the desktop. When you add or remove apps to/from that folders, both are updated. Is that what you're looking for?
