This launcher has to be one of my favorites,

I currently switch between everything home and this.

However this is my default due to its awesome features, I look forward to future updates.
[Nova Launcher] sanvik:
This is my one of the favorite launcher.
[Nova Launcher] carlos67:
Great Launcher!

Only thing missing IMO is being able to use custom dock backgrounds and perhaps a couple more screen transition effects like eg. sphere.

Apart from that it's pretty much spot on.
[Nova Launcher] Redaaku:
This is awesome! And has been my favorite launcher for quite some time.
[Nova Launcher] Boozezela:
Guys, could you please check and post how much RAM Nova is using on your devices? I am still seeing absurd numbers here.

Thank you.

Sorry for the emphasis.
[Nova Launcher] mrdoug:
Hmm, weird...

The system app (Pantech Burst) tells me two novas (cached) at 31mb each and a tesla unread (active) at 3mb.

Elixir, however, shows three active... Two novas at 55 each and a tesla unread at 23.

Big difference... Which do I believe?

Yes, its good that there's an indicator, that is available menu on tapping that button, and thanks for mentioning the right word "Aesthetics" for this whole query of mine ;)

Sorry for shuffling words LOL! Dont know how to explain it well, english isnt my native language. :eek:

anyhow, since nova features themes so it should look uniform, my suggestion is change that triangular button to rectangular one like this one maybe?

Few samples for that (made it just quicky for viewing pleasure :laugh: )

(Click the image for clearer view)

Button 1:

Button 2:

Button 3:

Button 4:

Its only a suggestions, hope the dev team will take a look into it on next release.. Thank you..
[Nova Launcher] chitose_ndy:
Ive used Nova launcher for a quite long time.

Not to make nova launcher looks bad, but i compare this to the latest vire launcher premium,

I think vire launcher still wins the smoothness.

Not to make nova launcher looks bad.

I say this i because i want nova launcher to be smoother and better.

But nova still owns the costumization and many other things.

Anyway, could u make more costumization on the app drawer ?

Thankyou very much

:)

[Nova Launcher] scottjb:
Vire is pretty nice but I asked the developer why it had network access and I never got a response. I removed the app after that. I can only assume it's to collect data without my knowledge. Nova used it to download beta updates. Hmm, I guess that permission should be removed from Nova now since all updates must come through the Play Store. I will ask about that.
[Nova Launcher] kanenas_0:
Hello.

The following is on Galaxy SII with Nova 2.1.1.

Before Nova 2.1.1 and while I was using Resurrection Remix JB v3.1.3, I had no problems like I describe below.

After I installed 2.1.1, a couple of my group folders were left with 2-3 application icons in them (games for a kid).

I added the missing ones, made a backup with Nova but still after some reboot (not always I think), most group icons in the same folders would be missing again.

A couple of days ago, I replaced Resurrection Remix JB with its updated 4.0.3 version.

I still have the same problem and now I even have these group folders completely empty (but the group's still there ??).

Is this an incompatibility with Resurrection, some setting I missed, or a Nova bug? A limit maybe on the number of items in a group (I have around 10)?

Anything I can do to get around it (other than factory resets)?

Thanks in advance for any pointers.

home button lag

im using latest nova launcher , why am i lagging when going to homscreen?? whenever i'm in an app and i press home button, it takes exactly 1 second to go back to home screen instead of going to homscreen directly. although it sounds nothing but imagine everytime going back to homscreen you gotta wait 1 second. This is my first time having this problem

I'm 100% sure it's not my home button problem,cause i tested on apex it works fine and other launchers as well. And also there is no app like S voice which require double tap home button to trigger. So how can i fix this?? I've removed icon label like other guy told me to and it's still same

I think a lot of people would lend a hand on this issue if there were some continuity to the bug reports. I've only seen two people - out of the dozens who have reported vanishing icons - actually post logs.

Kevin may not have a Galaxy S-series or an HTC device (most of the issues seem to be coming from owners of those two brands), so it's probably incredibly hard for him to test and find a fix, when he has very little information to work with.

Hopefully the people who are having this problem, will start posting *correct* bug reports, so Kevin can try to address their issue. :)
[Nova Launcher] tdimarzio:
I'll grab some pre and post logcats today if I get a chance. Not sure they'll reveal much. Would be better to get a debug build of 2.1.1 with logging enabled. Does anyone have one?
[Nova Launcher] tdimarzio:
Logcats attached.

Will Kevin see these or should I email them to him?
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
I'd send them to Kevin as well, just to make sure. :thumbup:
[Nova Launcher] tdimarzio:
OK, will do.
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
Good deal. If all 144 people, who have voted on the bug, send Kevin their logs, I'm sure he'll address the issue. I don't think he checks this thread much any more (it probably gives him a headache), but enough email attention regarding the problem should give him the info he needs to make adjustments. :)

i just moved to Nova Launcher for a few days, and i already set all things as i want, but tesla unread seems not to work on my phone. there are now 2 sms's and 1 missed call and they are just not shown. what should i do? Thanks.
[Nova Launcher] mrvirginia:
on Android 4.3, the desktop will stop refreshing widgets.

example1: using stock Power Widget, when clicking the sync or brightness toggle, they stop changing to the new value

example2: opening GenieWidget, weather degree updates in the app but stays at previous value on the actual Widget when backing back to desktop.
[Nova Launcher] JayR_Themer:
android 4.3 probably isnt officially supported. theres only a leak right now afaik.
[Nova Launcher] jcampos:
Works extremely fine on my Galaxy Nexus. Beta8 just made it better, fixing the margin gaps and some FCs that were there on beta7.

Loving it!
[Nova Launcher] duraeas:
Love the launcher, looking forward to the paid version. I've gone back to the stock launcher after the last update due to the change in margins, until I can find the time to re-jig my screens. Is there any way to get a previous build? If not, I think alternating between margins would be a great feature for the paid version.
[Nova Launcher] kimboinatl:
Beta 8 is looking great. I love the option to change the scroll effect in the app drawer. So far so good!

One thing I did noticed is that occasionally the font in my widgets, app drawer, etc will switch to Chinese :confused: well, not really Chinese, but it looks like it on my screen. All I have to do is re-start the launcher to fix this, but it's a little bizarre.

EDIT: Here is a screen shot -
[Nova Launcher] p-slim:
the margins for some reason made my clock&weather widget look funny, also in landscape I still can't see the name of the app underneath it. Otherwise everything still works perfectly

[Nova Launcher] mizuy:
Using it, nice!
[Nova Launcher] GalaxyUser:
I like this launcher ! Thanks :)
[Nova Launcher] exempli_gratia:
Version 8 is working great. Love it.

Seems faster overall for me, or is it the new card deck transition just a bit smoother?

Regarding margins, sounds like hard to please everyone. :) For my 5x5 layout the min margins work quite well (5x5 tends to need more horizontal room). The suggestion (above) of margin levels in setting sounds even better, natch. ;)
[Nova Launcher] Naumoff42:
I don't hate the new margins but i don't really like them either. I didn't even notice it until i read on here and people pointed it out. Having the ability to set it would be nice though.
[Nova Launcher] exempli_gratia:
I found in 5x5 config, widgets have closer to the space of 5x4 before the margin change (just a touch smaller). I'm sure it depends on what widget one is using, but just a thought if folks wanted to try the alternate layout.
[Nova Launcher] p-slim:
I think the margins bother those who try to keep it like stock with 5x4, but for those who add extra rows it probably works for you.
[Nova Launcher] 630263:
Properties for changing icon size

It would be nice, be able to change icon size with the grid including bottom bar. I got used to it on BRD launcher. Everything looks better smaller imo. Good idea is scrollable bottom bar, but I think better have all in one place together (smaller). But I have to say, this launcher seems to be very handy and variable.
[Nova Launcher] Lobo13:
Thanks for great application.

I have one question: can you add possibility to turn off vibrate feedback, when I add or move some shortcut or widget on desktop?

Thanks.
[Nova Launcher] Skilover:
My big issue with Beta 7 has been that a portion of the fonts on anything controlled by the app (homescreen widgets, menus, etc. turns into gibberish, and I have to constantly restart the application. I was hoping this was fixed in 8--and about 1 minute after upgrading the same thing happened. Running Axiom 2.4 on Galaxy. This is the only app that is causing problems. I will add that beta 8 is worse than 7 was, it is messing up the fonts so quickly as to become worthless. I have no other apps on this rom causing me any trouble at all.

Yeah probably. Hope Google has optimized their launcher...

Gesendet von meinem GT-I9505 mit Tapatalk 2
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
From all the videos I've seen, 4.3 doesn't look any different than 4.2. I'm guessing that most of the changes will be "under the hood" stuff, like battery, and RAM optimization, some Linaro merges for speed and stability, and maybe some kernel tweaking. I have a Nexus though, which means those changes (at least on the kernel side) will effect me more than owners of non-Nexus devices. It should be good though... Google rarely gets these things wrong, and they even pushed back the release date by a good 3 months. I expect 4.3 to be superb, but I don't expect Google to touch the apps much.
[Nova Launcher] hawkwind212:
The only thing I think you can try is to uninstall and reinstall teslaunread app again. As with all the launchers' notification app, it has to be installed after the apps that it tries to notify are already in place. Otherwise it will not work.

Any hope of seeing some additional options on the notification customization front?

I'd like to see some additional bubble sizes, something along the lines of what Apex offers with the options of bubble size(small med, large), color options and round vs square.

I had been using Apex for a little while but it has issues showing notifications for SMS, plus I love the speed and look of Nova's transitions much better. Nova seems smoother overall. I also like the fact it works with Missedit!.

Hopefully some additional notification bubble customizations are something that can be added soon.

Thanks.
[Nova Launcher] hawkwind212:
IMO, the launcher's notification app is a hit or miss for each android device. I have apex, next 3D, and nova running simultaneously; they each have their own notification app, and each app is running fine on its own. But this is not the first I hears about problem with teslaunread.

[Nova Launcher] Chuck_IV:
If you are refering to my post, I'm not having issues with TeslaUnread at all. It's the Apex Notifier app on Apex I have the issue with unread SMS messages.

Nova's TeslaUnread works great for me, it's just that I'd like to see more options for the notification bubbles because I find Nova's to be too small for my liking. I'd like to see them larger, along the lines of the size of Samsung's Touchwiz shows. Apex gives you the option on size and shape and what I'd like to see here.

I not sure I understand your question, you mean hiding am app that's already in a folder group in the drawer? Just go to the bottom of drawer setting in the nova setting, and check the box next to the app. Be a bit more specific if you're asking about something else different.

I'm having problems with the apps located on my external sd card disappearing from my homescreen folder after a reboot. Can the developer of this app please look into this? Also, can you make the grey triangle in the app drawer match with the launcher color setting? I'd highly appreciate it!
[Nova Launcher] yaibakt:
yeah, its me, i guess :)

i had used apex and it's notification app before, and they worked great for me. ive been just using nova for 4 days now, and no matter how i tried, teslaUnread doesnt work at all. Just install Missed it and it works right away...

so i guess TeslaUnread just doesnt like me, hehe :D

and yeah, i really hope nova would has more options for notification bubbles... its too small for me now.
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
Read the thread, or use the search function. This is a known issue, and one that has been discussed for weeks now. Please provide logs of the issue...post them here, and also email them to Kevin, so he can look at them. Simply stating that you have a problem, doesn't help to solve it, and will just leave you frustrated. :thumbup:
[Nova Launcher] mrdoug:
Sent off logcat files for both pre and post bug versions for Pantech Burst with Android 4. Of course I labeled them Nova 4.1 and 4.1.1... but I think he'll figure out that I meant 2.x. :)

You mentioned this appears to be Samsung and HTC specific. I think that may be the case. Though I have a Pantech, I want to recall seeing apps view my phone as a Samsung. I presume Pantech uses Samsung parts?

Let's hope more logs are sent and this bug is fixed. Samsung and HTC have a HUGE Android market share. A lot of people have to be experiencing this.

Long press in application drawer add shortcut to desktop. So there is no easy way to move icons between tabs and groups. I have to go into nova options every time I instal new app to move it to desired place. Is there any easier way?

Don't let go when you long press in application drawer, keep holding when the view changes to desktop and drag up to 'edit' at the top right of the screen. You can choose which tabs it's in from there.
[Nova Launcher] Enhanced:
Adding to the 4.3 bug reports:

Widgets don't seem to refresh anymore. For example, I added a new note to Google Keep on my desktop and my Google Keep widget does not update (yes it is synced). Another example is when using the Press Reader widget. Everytime the widget checks for new RSS items, the widget ends up freezing and I have to delete and place the widget again. And also with the Google Now widget, again, the weather will not update nor will any new cards be added to the widget.

Basically, a widget that "automatically" does something will do not that thing anymore. Anyone seeing the same or is this an issue on my end?

This thread has gone very quiet lately. Development seems to have slowed. Feel a bit sorry for all the people who have taken the effort to request new features over in the feature request thread. All seems to be in vain as there has been very few if any new features added for a while now.

Don't get me wrong, it's a great launcher and I have prime version installed. But why set up a feature request forum if your not gonna implement at least the most popular ones? It gives people false hope IMO.

Yes it is the smoothest launcher out there, but if new code is written properly for new features, I don't see it impacting on the smoothness. So people who say "we don't want Nova bloated out". It doesn't have to be like that especially with a great coder like Kevin.

Edit: I know I'll get flamed for this but couldn't help myself. :p
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
Just to address the 4.3 app bug reports a bit... Nova is running on the old API 17 structure, as are most of the apps we're all using. It will take developers a little bit of time to update to the new API 18 structure, so please, continue to post bugs, but just be understanding and patient.

As for the pace of development... I don't mind it at all. Remember, 4.3 was supposed to roll out months ago, and Kevin probably decided to hold off on major code changes, until the new version was released. Well, 4.3 didn't release when we thought it would, and Kevin was stuck in a bit of a grey area - update Nova now, and run the risk of possibly having to address these same issues all over again with 4.3, or hold off until 4.3 was live. I assume he's chosen the second option.

Again, for those of you who aren't developers, please read this, and try to understand the situation logically. Development is a constantly shifting scene... it doesn't occur in a vacuum, and developers have to make adjustments and tough calls sometimes. Kevin has never proven unwilling to update to new OS versions, and he's never failed to address major issues. Have some faith, and five him time.

I understand your desire to see those options migrated into Nova, but as far as I know, those are proprietary features of Action Launcher, and since it's closed source, it's unlikely that they'll ever be in this launcher.
