Issue Upgrading to 1.0.2

Hello,

I'm a happy prime user running Nova 1.0.1 on G-Nexus with AOKP. AOKP delivers Nova as a system installed APK. I tried to upgrade Nova to 1.0.2 through the market but consistently received the following error:

The only ways to fix this is either remove the apk from the ROM and drop in the new version, or download the apk from the Nova website and install it through the apk installer.

Searching the web, I came across what seems to be a solution:

Any update on the folder or tab in app drawer feature? It's currently the third most requested feature on the voting site, I'd love to stay with this launcher, love the efficiency, look&feel and features, however without being able to organize the app drawer GoLauncher keeps trying to call me back ...
[Nova Launcher] ithehappy:
Hey Kevin, first of all hats off to your effort for this fantastic launcher. But last time I used it didn't support 480x800 wallpapers, are they working now?
[Nova Launcher] hellocng:
I have a similar problem, except mine says "Incompatible Update". I can only install it using the apk.
[Nova Launcher] Staggers:
You're mixing up two different things. A reboot option comes with a ROM. It has nothing to do with the launcher (i.e. Nova in this case). If you have questions about your ROM, it may be best to post them in the Virtuous Inquisition thread.
[Nova Launcher] netboy3:
This is probably a different issue. Your ROM probably has a Nova apk that is pretty old (pre market or beta). The signature on it is probably different and will not allow you to update as the market sees it as a completely different app. I'm trying to update from 1.0.1 to 1.0.2.
[Nova Launcher] Youngunn2008:
does any one know where the tab is here that is still blue? i can't find it in the decompiled nova launcher apk anywhere. also am looking through my framework and systemui, and having a hard time seeing it.
[Nova Launcher] Ov3rbyte:
Any news on a notifier addition got the text SMS apps? Seems everyone wants it and the developer said they'd look into it.
[Nova Launcher] the1dynasty:
if i'm not mistaken, that is in an xml file... which one? idk... i themed nova a while ago when it was around beta 13 and i can't remember off the top of my head for certain!

btw, your colors look similar to my TCS theme in my DCS thread
[Nova Launcher] BlackDino:
All the colors must be in nova, I have completely themed ics and none of the colors in nova have changed

I'm using this launcher and It make me feel satisfied :)

First saw Nova Launcher running on a friend's Galaxy S2. Installed Virtuous Inquisition last night, and Nova Launcher came pre-installed. I used it for less than 10 minutes before I dropped the cash on the premium version.

An absolutely wonderful (and ridiculously fast) launcher.

REQUEST: please offer an option for a continuous vertical (or horizontal) app drawer. The paged style is quite annoying to use as you have to flip, flip, flip to get to the app you want to launch.

Please, keep up the great work!
[Nova Launcher] luciferii:
i would love to see an option to make the app drawer background transparent and/or the ability to add a diff. background. otherwise, nova is the best, as long as you keep it current i will be a fan!

That doesn't sound quite right :rolleyes:
[Nova Launcher] Youngunn2008:
An option for that would be great. In the meantime though its easy enough to decompile and make mods you'd like;)
[Nova Launcher] mhwarfield:
This has been requested numerous times and is on the request / vote page. Please vote for it on the feedback page off the OP.

*** Edit ***

Not so sure about the "continuous" part but it looks like the status of the "vertical" part is "Started" with 521 votes for vertical scrolling. Hopefully it will be continuos, inertial, and infinite. But we shall see.

Works great on my just updated to ICS 4.0.4 nexus :).
[Nova Launcher] juicebox666:
Strange little thing I noticed yesterday...

Turning my Desire 1/4 counterclockwise (so top of phone is to my left) works fine and the screen renders properly.

Turning my Desire 1/4 clockwise (so the top of the phone is to my right) results in the text and icons in the notification bar to be pushed almost entirely off the "top" of the screen. All that's left is a black bar.

[Nova Launcher] jhuynh:
Is the widgets in the drawer working for you? I made sure I had root still and it's not working for me after I updated to ICS 4.0.4.
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
Is the Root Helper option checked off? I haven't heard anything about this, but is there any possibility that the 4.0.4 update (I'm assuming you mean the OTA) broke root?

D3 Gummy 0.9
[Nova Launcher] motocrossmann:
Awesome launcher. Just purchased prime.
[Nova Launcher] jhuynh:
It won't let me check it off, it's greyed out. My other root apps work still and I tried reinstalling Nova but the widgets still aren't showing up in the drawer.

EDIT. I ended up having to delete the data for Nova launcher and then it asked for the permission again.

EDIT2. definitely a bug with nova and 4.0.4 as it has reverted back to using the old style to show to widgets, guess i'll wait for an update.
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
I ran into that issue once I believe. If the option is greyed out, it means that somewhere, the launcher was denied root access; just go into Super User, and add it to the list, and things should be fine. If your other root apps work, then the update didn't break root, so I'm almost certain it's a permissions issue. :)

Transparent icons showing as black squares

Hi guys,

I read earlier in the thread that some people are having trouble using transparent icons (blank.png) in Nova Launcher.

I am experiencing this myself now.

When using a blank.png file as icon either on the homescreen or on the dock, it will be shown as a black square instead of transparency.

[Unable to post screenshot as I haven't made 8 posts yet]

I am confident I created the .png file correctly in Photoshop.

Any solution available?

Thanks in advance :)
[Nova Launcher] Raymond Ebertt:
I've asked this before, but haven't seen an answer, or I've missed it.

Is it possible to implement a vertical scrolling for the apps drawer. The Widget drawer has the option. I prefer the vertical scrolling over the horizontal scrolling.
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
It's been discussed quite a bit recently. The User Voice section in the OP, lists it as "in progress" I believe. It's easily the most requested feature here in the thread, and I would suspect we'll see it in the next update. :)

Persistent App Drawer

I've already posted this in the suggestions/feature request, but I'll post it here too.

I suggest that you make an option for enabling/disabling the Dock in the App Drawer.

Having a dock in the app drawer would erase the need to use hardware buttons to return to homescreen/launcher and so forth.
[Nova Launcher] im.nick.hello:
great launcher, anticipating another beta release. hasnt been updated in a while
[Nova Launcher] fylim:
My home button seems to be disabled. When I press it in running app I expect to go to main screen. Nova pref for Home Button set to def screen. But nothing happens.

Using Nova launcher + Slim 3.0 + Semaphore 0.9.8s.

Any ideas? Not hardware issue as I can wake device from sleep using home. Tq.
[Nova Launcher] frenccw:
When you tap to edit the icon choose browse for file instead of browsing for image. If you had to crop the image then you are doing it wrong. Good luck!

---------- Post added at 12:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:43 PM ----------

What answer were you expecting? Yes it is possible and its one of the top requests at the moment (check OP for User Voice). The dev has started working on it.
[Nova Launcher] Raymond Ebertt:
Thanks for the update. It wold be nice to get this release soon. I really like the flow of the vertical scroll. As well, it would be nice to have an infinite scroll option. Shell and few others have that option. It would make this launcher so sweet.
[Nova Launcher] Skunk Ape1:
Are you sure you're doing it right? I'm not having any issues with it.
[Nova Launcher] s0larus:
awesome!

You should add that this also works with 240dpi (stock is 320 on Galaxy Nexus). I'm running ICS 404 with 6x7 grid and it works great!

Before this I had BRD_Launcher but that caused the stock widgets to become massive sizes (like 7x3 music widget).
[Nova Launcher] Raymond Ebertt:
Devs,,,,

Any idea on the vertical scroll for apps drawer? Will it be added to a new release? As well, could we have some sort of timeline on when or if it could be released? I'm like a kid waiting for Christmas morning........
[Nova Launcher] Braneless:
How many times are you going to ask about this??

I'm guessing you are fairly new to xda...it is very bad etiquette to ask a developer for an ETA.
[Nova Launcher] Raymond Ebertt:
Keep asking because I'm not getting any response. You don't need to be so negative, but add a bit of detail if you have any to share.
[Nova Launcher] ChattyMatty:
apology in advance...

if this has been covered before, but this thread is almost 400 pages, lol.

It looks like it is designed to allow the changing of the gesture function, but i seem unable to change mine. Am I just doing it wrong (most likely) or is it a bug?

LOVING this launcher BTY. The hide apps without deleting them is marvelous! Thanks you for all the time you have put in on this.

Feedback would be nice..e.g does fit alright on the screen?

1.0.3beta1 April 2 2012

Internal changes

Drawer Transparency

Fix keyboard dismissal lag (from AOSP 4.0.4)

Faster desktop loading

Long-press menu for Search (for SGS2 users)

Misc other fixes

This is a small update. I know lots of users are interested in vertical scrolling and what not, Nova Launcher 1.1 will have that and more. I'm working hard to get 1.1 ready for the public, but it's not there yet. Also 1.1 requires some internal changes that would make downgrading from 1.1 to 1.0.2 not so smooth, 1.0.3 will however support downgrading from 1.1 (and downgrading from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2).
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
^^Lol. Even though Nova is my standby, I did check out the newest Trebuchet build last night, and I must admit, it's pretty good. The wallpaper scrolling issue has been fixed, and it has some cool options, like hiding the page indicator on the dock and in the drawer. It's certainly not as feature rich as this, and it has a much larger footprint (10MB vs Nova's 4.5MB), but it's coming along nicely. There are some CM purists out there that only run that ROM's stock launcher, so I'm glad it's been updated and works properly, but for me, it's Nova all day every day! :D

AOKP M4
[Nova Launcher] mhwarfield:
I keep them both on hand on the phone. Something that critical, it's nice to have a backup. Both have been maturing at warp speed, that's for sure.
[Nova Launcher] kevin@TeslaCoil:
To be fair the majority of the size different is because Trebuchet includes the stock wallpapers and Nova doesn't. It might actually make sense for Trebuchet to split those out as their own package as it definitely makes sense for CM and other roms to come with a set of wallpapers, but including it in the launcher makes it large to install as a third-party app on another system, and means if you uninstalled Trebuchet from CM to use Nova or something you'd not have any stock wallpapers to chose from.
[Nova Launcher] solarus2011:
Maybe a small update but woohoo for drawer transparency. Just a preference thing but if I had my druthers I would flip the direction of the transparency bar (right is no transparent, left is full). That been said, I set it and forget it anyway. Great work, can't wait for 1.1.
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
Great point. I didn't even consider the inclusion of the stock wallpapers.

AOKP M4
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
Quick question for everyone before I decide whether to create an official request for this: I know Kevin is working on the "remove page indicator" feature, but would anyone be interested in either 1) a color change option for the indicator or 2) an overall, launcher-wide color scheme option??

I know a lot of devs use themed versions of Nova (white, orange, green, etc) in their projects, so I figured it might be a nice PRO feature to have (yes, I think we should have to pay for something like that!), if it can be implemented, and if people would vote for it.

Let me know, and I'll put up an official request a little later, if there's enough support. Thanks again Kevin for building such a great launcher; it really makes ICS more enjoyable! :)

AOKP M4
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
Lol, nobody is interested in native theming ability?? Ok then...I'll post it in User Voice, and see what happens then...

AOKP M4
[Nova Launcher] twistedumbrella:
So much for waiting on feedback...

The idea is nice, but a theme engine versus included themes makes more sense. Furthering the size consideration, look at spb with widgets, layouts, and all the junk that only half use. More so only some of it when they do. 11MB of which I know I only use about 4 but suffer the full install for.

Allowing it to be themed, great. Themes included, no thanks.
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
I didn't mean including themes, like MIUI does...I Simply mean adding an option to change the colors of the page indicators, the "apps/widgets" tabs in the drawer, and the highlight color when you come to the last homescreen. Those options seem minimal to me, as far as resource usage, but I'm not a dev, so I may be wrong. I certainly don't want to sacrifice speed for customization additions... to my knowledge, no launcher has ever included those features as a native option, so it my not even be possible, but I just wanted to throw it out there.

And as far as "jumping the shark" by not waiting for feedback...I think close to 4 hours is enough time to get a response... I'm not trying to flame you at all...I just wanted to throw an idea out there for people to kick around, before I waste my time and Kevin's time by posting something in the User Voice, that people don't want. :)

[Nova Launcher] im.nick.hello:
Sick

Love the update
[Nova Launcher] twistedumbrella:
4 hours? People have jobs, families, hobbies. 24 hours is more realistic.

A whole lot of settings and variable layouts for some dots and stuff but I guess as a very low priority when there is nothing else to do wouldn't be bad. That is usually a revival feature when things slow down.
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
Look, I agree that it's not a top priority kinda thing, that's not what I'm saying at all...just thought it would be a cool feature.

And at the time I had initially posted, the thread had been pretty active all day, so I didn't think 4 hours would be a big deal...I have a 9 to 5 job too... it's not like I'm expecting a text from anyone on the topic. It's no big deal, really...

Back on topic

[Nova Launcher] twistedumbrella:
You wanted feedback, sorry... sounds like you should have just submitted it if you didn't really want to know.
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
^^Ok, I really think you have my intentions confused. I DON'T want to to have soem kind of meaningless disagreement...I DO want feedback, but as you pointed out, I may have underestimated the time frame I needed to allot before I posted a response. I AGREE that it shouldn't be a priority at the moment, but I do think it would be a nice addition down the line, that's all. I'll wait until some time tomorrow to actually post in the User Voice. :)

AOKP M4
[Nova Launcher] twistedumbrella:
Submit it then. This is time I will never get back...
[Nova Launcher] djmcnz:
Thank you.

Is there a way to disable (or even better configure for an alternative use) the long-press menu option? It is in effect of my Galaxy Nexus and I'd prefer not to have it.

Well I'd actually prefer if we could set it to launch something else, like the app drawer for example.

TIA.
[Nova Launcher] latino147:
Don't sell yourself short, the drawer transparency was a very popular request ;)

And faster desktop loading is always a great addition!

I suffer a lot of screen redraws when returning to Nova, and I believe there is no 'force launcher in memory' option? Would such an option even work?
[Nova Launcher] zero01101:
yup, 1.0.3b1 prime just took over default launcher over apex. this is glorious. very much obliged! :D

other widgets scale without problems.

ok, this could be a poweramp widget problem but it was scalable under go launcher...

@ all

Hi I´m using the Nova Launcher Prime since start.

But now I have trouble with the Prime function. :(

Always I want to update to Prime per email and code it comes that he cannot varify. :mad:

But the email and code are correct. I proof this by hit the forget button and get a email with the code again. It´s the same which I use to update Prime.

Anyone also have this problem and is there a solution for this???

Thanks for answers in advance

p.s. sorry if the question has been answered before, I don´t wanna read 390 pages :p
[Nova Launcher] hunter-S-T:
ok, problem solved.

didn't check the option to scale all widgets in the settings...

but i also can't get the root helper to work.

tried out reinstalling nova, updated superuser, checked if still rooted.

all ok but option is still not checkable.
[Nova Launcher] Staggers:
Sorry if this sounds obvious, but are you sure that Nova has been allowed root privileges in superuser? You said you updated it but didn't confirm that Nova is actually in the list of apps and has root status = allowed. If it isn't, try clearing data for superuser, then selecting the root helper option again and this time selecting allow and checking the 'remember' box.

I can't actually test this myself right now as I've got Nova installed as a system app, so I don't need the root helper to get the widgets in drawer function to work, but I think the above steps should do the trick.

Edit: or, you could skip all that and just install Nova as a system app.

Swyped from my AOKP-powered GNex
[Nova Launcher] hunter-S-T:
thanks man,

I already tried installing as system app and that solved it.

Thanks, that fixed it.

Hi all,

i use swipe gestures to show/hide status bar

sometime the bar appears translucide and empty

am i the only one ?
[Nova Launcher] kevin@TeslaCoil:
That'd be an opacity slider rather than transparency, but since opacity is not that common of a word I think labeling and indicating transparency is more clear.

I have gotten a handful of email requests to change the scroll indicator and at least one for changing all the highlights. Of the two I think I favor the idea of changing all the highlights rather than just the indicator, though it's a bit more.

Awesome (not the crash, but the steps to reproduce). I had seen the crash report but didn't know the cause.

I can't really help with license troubles on a public forum, why don't you email me? kevin@teslacoilsw.com
[Nova Launcher] djmcnz:
Just wondering what your thoughts are on this Kevin?
[Nova Launcher] RED_:
I like the idea of stock ICS having the widgets in a drawer instead of a long-press. Could be revert back to that? I know it'll almost be like removing a feature but it'll improve the slickness of the launcher imo. If it just looked like the stock ICS long-press I think it would really improve the launcher. Comes off as slightly bloated as it seems like a feature that doesn't really need to be there.
