please bring widgets to dock. so i can add a 4x1 widget for music controls!
[Nova Launcher] Gammelgustav:
This would be great :D
[Nova Launcher] kravguy:
In folder organizer, prefs. Go to widgets and make sure shortcuts are checked. If they are, uncheck them, save and then recheck them. I remember when I switched to nova, they weren't there so I had to check them before they showed up.

[Nova Launcher] :
Also, perhaps an uninstall and install again of folder orginizer could solve the problem. You can keep a backup of folder orginizer before uninstall.

If you press the screen in nova launcher, it's open a menu. Choose shortcut there, and you should see folder orginizer link if everything works ok.
[Nova Launcher] Ghazkul:
Thanks!! This actually worked after I reloaded Nova Launcher :)
[Nova Launcher] dviant:
Pandora Folder

I ran into the same problem. I'm running ICS and found that Nova doesn't have a "folder" option at all but TwLauncher does and it includes the Pandora Stations. In fact it seems TwLauncher has quite a bit more things to choose from when adding to your screans.
[Nova Launcher] brunoisa10:
just put an icon on another and it will create a folder
[Nova Launcher] JohnCorleone:
I have been using Nova since beta 4 or 5. I have Prime now but maybe I missed it. Is there the option to set swipe to hide status bar and dock? If not, I would love to see that. Anyhow, using Prime on my Epic Touch and NS4G and I love it. Thanks
[Nova Launcher] xda6969:
Are the dock icons still off center?

Before I update to the latest stable release, are the dock icons still off center? Someone posted about this issue a bit back.
[Nova Launcher] Raymond Ebertt:
To the Devs:

Is it possible to include a vertical scroll for the drawer and apps? I notice there is an option for widgets, but not apps. I personally enjoy the vertical scrolling as to the horizontal. I am also sure I am not alone. At least having an option for it would allow the users a choice.

Thanks in advance
[Nova Launcher] bananove:
That is what i get ALL the time after a while, some h, a day.... It's not just this widget. It's every widget...

I have to rebot and everything is ok....
[Nova Launcher] blk_jack:
ICS issue w/ your ROM, nothing to do w/ the launcher. However, instead of rebooting just restarting your launcher (hold back?).
[Nova Launcher] bananove:
I haven't rooted my phone.

If i restart the launcher all the widgets works fine!!

BUT the problem comes back after a while.

At least I now have a faster way to solve this, quicker to restart the launcher than the phone...so thank you for that feedback... :)
[Nova Launcher] Roroco:
Hey guys,

I hope this hasn't come up before. I did check, but there are a lot of posts here. I tried going from a Kang CM9 ICS ROM to the CM9 nightly on my GNex. Everything was going great until I tried "restoring" my Nova Launcher settings and it kept crashing. I couldn't get it running.

The steps I took were:

Back up ROM

Wiped all

Installed CM9 nightly

Restored all apps using Titanium

Installed Nova (root install option)

Restored settings

Crash...

Am I doing something wrong or does restore not work across different ROMs? I would hate to have to start all over again.

Thanks!
[Nova Launcher] Milamber33:
Are you sure you installed the same version of Nova? Restore should work across roms, but it's likely to cause trouble across different versions of Nova. Particularly if you were on a newer version before.

[Nova Launcher] Roroco:
I installed it using the zip file that has been on my phone's SD card since I installed Nova the Kang ROM. So it should be the same. Could it be that that version is too old? Should I upgrade Nova and backup settings before I switch, and then use the newest zip install when I am on CM9?
[Nova Launcher] Milamber33:
Yes. Nova has been on the market (or play store if you prefer) for a while now. Update to the latest from there.

Sent from The Past into The Future via The Present. :)
[Nova Launcher] Roroco:
Does the market version install as a system app or do I still need to use the zip file method? I thought I still needed to do it the manual way for full functionality.
[Nova Launcher] BlackDino:
You can give it root permission
[Nova Launcher] XlAfbk:
you don't need to install it as a system app. there's a "root helper" checkbox that enables the widget compatibility without it being a sys app
[Nova Launcher] Roroco:
Awesome. Thanks, guys. Trying it now.
[Nova Launcher] Roroco:
While the market download did not seem to work for me, installing the latest system install zip worked. Thanks guys.
[Nova Launcher] RDabate:
Is there a way to import all my icons and folders from the default launcher?
[Nova Launcher] shockem:
Please add more

1.transition effects

2.ability to make app drawer transparent

3.vertical drawer,

4.custom dock theme

:) loving it now though.
[Nova Launcher] samhawk:
thanks it's a great stuff
[Nova Launcher] zidane:
best ics launcher

everything is fast and smooth except when opening folders though..

when opening folders (and scrolling in folder) its not as smooth as opening app drawer, scrolling etc..
[Nova Launcher] brunoisa10:
Tablet and notif bar

just because many of you asked how is it possible to hide the notif bar

in standard on ICS for Tablets

long press on Power and choose Hide/show status bar

Enjoy :)

same to show the bar if hidden (it's a toggle)

using rom CM9
[Nova Launcher] Bwwwww:
I love Nova Launcher and purchased Premium.

Please add an option for vertical (old style) scrolling for the Drawer.

Thanks. Keep up the great work.
[Nova Launcher] wilcomir:
Please if you want to request features read the op.
[Nova Launcher] latino147:
On the requests-website I had posted an option to run the launcher in low-mem modus especially for low-memory devices (which wasn't very popular). Is that technically even possible or would you have to kill several features?
[Nova Launcher] samhawk:
great i will try it i'am on CM7 nightly 2.3.7
[Nova Launcher] NeoDorr:
Very fast and beautiful launcher!

Thanks!
[Nova Launcher] Milamber33:
As the OP and thread title both say, this launcher is for ICS ONLY.

Sent from The Past into The Future via The Present. :)
[Nova Launcher] dviant:
Thanks for the tip. However, that's not what was meant. With all other launchers (including stock), there is a "Folder" option when long-pressing on the screen. This option has predefined "folders" such as "Received from Bluetooth" and "All contacts". Pandora also adds one in there that's labeled "My Stations". It's an easy way to view your stations and select one without loading the Pandora app.
[Nova Launcher] 513:
Hi,

I have a rooted Galaxy Nexus with the last version of Nova launcher + Prime bought from the market.

And recently I am seeing Nova refreshing himself completely with all the widgets, when pressing the home button, coming from any app.

It is a bit annoying since I takes a few seconds to load.

Any clue about my problem ? This strange behavior wasn't there before, maybe since the update ?

Thanks ! :)
[Nova Launcher] exempli_gratia:
Is there a way to minimize the memory used by one's Nova configuration, to significantly reduce the reloads?

For instance, would using less widgets, different widgets, not customizing icons, using smaller icon images, smaller wallpaper images, less pages, less per page, etc help in any significant way?
[Nova Launcher] wyattyoss:
Wait...are you even on ICS?
[Nova Launcher] ProficienTICS:
I have purchased nova prime a few weeks back and it has been running perfect.

After doing a full reset and installing AOKP M4 and Franco 98 nightly the GN is running perfect.

Apart from Nova not saving settings.. I cant work out why but its just not saving some options like "Show Notification Bar" I turn it off and it randomly just comes back on..

I have cleared cache and re installed the entire app and Prime Add-On but it still acts the same.

Any ideas?
[Nova Launcher] mcmarty2000:
Nova launcher prime here. Galaxy s i9000 - tsunamics rom based on milestone 4 sixstrings rom. I've installed v6 supercharger update9 rc7, but when an app become installed, launcher redraws.

Any suggestion?

Did you run Nitro Lag Nullifier or make the launcher bulletproof? With those tweaks applied, I get no lag at all. :)

D3 AOKP M4
[Nova Launcher] brunoisa10:
just searching for Nitro lag Nullifier and not found

could you explain these 2 tweaks please ? or point us to the thread

or is it SuperCharger ?
[Nova Launcher] Braneless:
It's an option within V6_SuperCharger.
[Nova Launcher] brunoisa10:
OK just noticed and installed

now I've set to bulletproof on my SGT (P1000)
[Nova Launcher] floepie:
I don't understand why card stack in the app drawer is so much LESS smooth in the most recent version compared to previous versions. Card stack on the desktop is very smooth but in the app drawer it's not smooth.

Switching to Trebuchet, I see the card stack is very smooth in the app drawer, just as Nova was in previous releases.

Anyone else experiencing this?
[Nova Launcher] LorD ClockaN:
+1 to this

I see no updates for the last few days, so I hope they are preparing a surprise
[Nova Launcher] beje86:
Works great and butter smooth in my Xperia Mini Pro, other home screens for ICS are still not taking into account HVGA (480x320) devices and have a lot of off-screen or overlapped buttons.
[Nova Launcher] DJSave:
Transparent drawer would be nice feature :)
[Nova Launcher] martgenius:
updates, ...

Yeah i hope we get updates `cause we bought this launcher, ..

We all love that Nova is so stable but,.... We also want things like the Apex launcher has,...

Transparent drawer as example,... ..or...

double Click at Homescreen for an extend menu(its a feature of Apex and really nice)

thx @ developers

In time, grasshopper, in time... Patience...

There's an old adage on the internet supported by various IETF April 1 RFC's and such...

You can have it working, fast, or cheap. Take two... You don't get three.

We've already established by various whinings over the $4USD prime charge that "cheap" is out (or even suffcient - $4 is DIRT CHEAP). So you get "working" or "fast". Your choice...
[Nova Launcher] donj001:
I like your style, so to illustrate:

Plus I purchased on the first day and only using a beta ICS ROM and that's how much I appreciate this app!

[Nova Launcher] doomedromance:
Kev still have the quick search bar wierdness with the update. I like the new previews but would it be possible to have a home button setting that's home, then show previews. Such as ADW.Launcher has. Actually if you made it what ADW used to be and have a hidden and main dock like ADW EX used to, I'd pay $10 for this app. With the new ICS stuff of course.
[Nova Launcher] JaydenR:
Awesome work Kevin. It's running great. Beta 5.
[Nova Launcher] talhamid:
Just put the 'search' shortcut on your homescreen or anywhere you like. it is the SAME thing as that useless, stupid widget. Try it out.
[Nova Launcher] shadow_empire1:
Thanx for this great launcher!
[Nova Launcher] thaidroid:
Beta Five

Thank you for a very neat upgrade.

Backup settings and Toggle Noticebar Very nice.

Vertical Scrolling in appdrawer:rolleyes::rolleyes:

Great product I have no FC's on Team Hacksung build 10
[Nova Launcher] talhamid:
Best. Android. App. Ever

Hello Kevin

When I got my GNexus, I fell in love with ICS. Therefore, Go Launcher EX or ADW were out of the question. Still, these things drove me crazy:

1) All those newly wonderful Google widgets, and only five homesceens?

2) The useless, stupid search 'bar' which is really just a shortcut which thinks its a widget

3) Widgets in app drawer, which is good in theory but is a pain in absence of vertical scrolling.

Finding Nova Launcher was like winning a million-dollar lottery and getting proposed by Angelina Jolie at the same time. Too good to be true.

In one fell swoop you have addressed ALL of the problems I had with the stock launcher. Also, unlike other launchers, this one RETAINS all the stock widgets with full functionality. I have yet to see a launcher which does that, and perhaps people are not realizing the significance of your achievement.

I have no wishlist except for continuous optimizations and feature additions as suggested by fellow members. Maybe you could think about giving an option to import shortcuts/folders from the stock launcher - that would save a lot of hassle.

Tell yesterday my favorite app of all time was the new Tabr widget. In one day, not only has that been dethroned, its need has been annihilated. Such is the world we live in. Do check Tabr out though.

I will gladly pay you for this. Put it out on Market already.
[Nova Launcher] flakz0r:
Great job on beta 5, thanks :)
[Nova Launcher] moqwai.:
On beta 5 I'm getting constant redraws when pressing the homebutton for defaultscreen. Is there a way to fix this?

And sometimes the appdrawer shows no apps. Going to landscape and back to portrait solves this, but kind of annoying.

Great app anyway! Thank you
[Nova Launcher] alsex87:
I'm getting slow redraw when hitting home more on beta5 than beta3 too, but its happening less and less as the day goes on by the looks of it.
[Nova Launcher] KBanause:
Why? You can create folders on the dock. That's much more powerful...
[Nova Launcher] P_Ricky:

[Nova Launcher] rjl09:
Great job kevin!!

Everything is running smooth except for when I try to add home screens to 7, I get a FC .

And I will definitely pay for this app when its out of beta, and if possible to add the feature to hide apps in the drawer.

Keep up the good work my friend!
[Nova Launcher] hudhacks:
kevin -

very nice, no issues thus far, keep up the great code!

Really like the update method
[Nova Launcher] vtec_screamer:
This is exactly the issue I'm having when trying to install. Any suggestions, guys?
[Nova Launcher] xGalaxyNexusx:
I can't thank you enough. It's hard for me to believe that this will just keep getting better and better. I love it so much already!

I'm also glad to know I'm not the only one with this issue, as many forums I've posted in had no idea what I was talking about. It's good to know that the Dev of the launcher has seen it with his own eyes. Thanks and keep up the good work. But take a break for the holidays!!! We can wait =)

One question: How do you reduce the number of homescreens after hitting the "+" to make it 7. I don't see a "-" anywhere and appear to be stuck on 7 screens now. Thanks in advance.
[Nova Launcher] Mikey:
Long press on the screen you want to remove and move to trash ;)
[Nova Launcher] carrot34:
swipe-up gesture support for the dock is (for what it's worth) my top feature request too.

Folders on the dock is really great, but it means two separate touches to launch anything, which (I find) makes a real difference, particularly in the dock since that's where you put things you use most. The power of dock swipe-gesture support is that it lets you use the dock to launch twice as many apps/actions/shortcuts all with a single touch.
[Nova Launcher] OSully:
I'm getting "click to restore widgets" every so often. Not on all of them just a few.
[Nova Launcher] AdamUpNorth:
Awesome work. Loved the stock launcher but the changes in Nova are make it even better. I'm using this going forward.
[Nova Launcher] xcjiang:
everytime I install apps, it keeps telling me there is no more room on home screen . My home screen is empty. Any suggestions?
[Nova Launcher] Staggers:
Go into the Play Store settings and un-check "auto-add widgets"
[Nova Launcher] latino147:
that's a workaround, not a solution.
[Nova Launcher] Staggers:
The issue isn't specific to this launcher. It happens on stock as well because of the aforementioned setting in the Market/Play Store. Hence, to avoid the notification the previous poster described the solution is to un-check the setting.
[Nova Launcher] latino147:
Yeah, but it DOES work, at least on my Tablet with ICS. So there could be a fix to have it work?
[Nova Launcher] phoenixs4r:
Then delete all other launchers from your device other than nova. Market is putting incons on a different launcher thatbisnt active, which is why you are getting that toast message.
[Nova Launcher] latino147:
Aha, now that makes sense... :)
[Nova Launcher] Fahrenheit:
Anyone know how it would be possible to change the color of the home screen icon text labels? There's not an option to do it in settings, but do you think a setting could be changed in the APK?
[Nova Launcher] NickTheMajin:
This is an absolutely awesome launcher. With the plethora of great free launchers on the market its amazing to see a launcher worth paying for.

The one feature I wish I could see in this is custom docks. I used to like putting a dock image and then invisible icons over it on the past launchers I've used. I don't know if this has been suggested with the crazy amount of pages but it is a feature I would like to see.

Thanks for this great homescreen replacer.

Bug Report.

I'm not sure how long this bug has been present, but I know its at least been around since 1.0.

I'm not sure what triggers it, but periodically the persistent search bar will appear when its not supposed to. It ends up overlaying the search widget and any icons on the top row. I included a screenshot below.

Galaxy Nexus ICS 4.0.4

Persistent search bar: landscape only (default)

Screen orientation: Default
[Nova Launcher] im.nick.hello:
This bug has happened to me once before
[Nova Launcher] Fahrenheit:
I'm not sure if there's any interest, and I'm not sure if it's OK for me to post this, so I'll delete if asked. I modded Nova Launcher 1.0.2 to have ICS Blue icon text labels:

Unintended side effect, app icon labels are blue too:

I purchased the Prime unlock and verified that it works with this mod.

Just load the attached NovaLauncher_102_bluetext.zip in Clockwork Mod.

Load NovaLauncher_102_revert.zip in Clockwork Mod to revert back to the unedited version.

Love Nova so much,and bought the prime version.

Some requests for the drawer,just like the apex's setting to put the drawer apps sorting with mostly used,and add a new tab with the downloaded apps.

And if possiable to make Nova cann't be force close when hold press back to kill?
[Nova Launcher] kravguy:
Nova will be killed if you have long press back to kill the foreground app in settings. If you're getting an actual force close, I'd suggest taking a look at your logcat and post it here so the dev or someone else can help.

[Nova Launcher] :
Really enjoy the ability to customize it.

However what bothers me is that my icons does not have any backgrounds. I cant find any solutions and would def appreciate some advice.

I am on Samsung Galaxy S2 4.0.3 XXLPQ rooted.

EDIT: I was mistaken the functionality of it. I guess it is working as intended. Had the impression that the for each icon you have there would be a background.
[Nova Launcher] kevin@TeslaCoil:
Will be fixed in either 1.0.3beta1 or 1.1beta1 depending on how things go.

No need to delete it.

My feelings against modding the APK are mainly support related. If a bunch of people end up on modded APKs, when I release an update they have to uninstall the modded version to install the update. Fine for some people but not so fine for others so they email me asking for help or just complaining the update won't install. My feelings in favor of modding the APK is that part of what's great about Android (and my apps) is that it can be personalized by the users, and this is just an extension of that. Plus if modding a specific element is popular then it's a good indicator for a desirable feature.

Thank you for the very nice theme. I bought the premium (prime?) version in the Google Market.

Take a look at the screenshot. Where does this "<div..." stuff comes from?
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
^^ That's not the stock dialer, so I'm assuming that strange output is ROM related, and not Launcher specific. The launcher doesn't modify apps at all, but your ROM's framework or SystemUI could do that. I'd check with the ROM dev, or the app dev (if that dialer is a third party app), and see if that is a known problem or bug. :)

How do i reboot into recovery?? M using nova launcher and when i click reboot it just reboots and doesnt ask whether i wanna reboot into recovery/fastboot/ simply reboot..

Also i have a mute icon before reboot.. is it a bug or something wrong in my phone?
[Nova Launcher] mhwarfield:
Install QuickBoot or RomManager? Those are what I use.
[Nova Launcher] jan.bee:
You could also use 4ext which I like better then RomManager.

Also you can select the tasks you want before rebooting into recovery mode so you don't have to do anything yourself in recovery mode.

Prime user. I found that the app drawer icon is sometimes slow and unresponsive. I thought I missed it but sometimes if I press longer or harder, it works. Usually takes 2-3 tries. Sometimes it works perfect though. This is not a hardware issue, though I cant rule out ROM or kernel but I have tested that part of the screen on various apps and all work fine.
[Nova Launcher] SEANDROID:
Just an FYI, No need to turn your phone off first. :thumbup:

Ya thats a straight forward way.. but in GB we could directly go to bootloader/fastboot from hmescreen.. it would ask where u wanna go when i click reboot..

---------- Post added at 06:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:52 PM ----------

Thats what i wanna know how do u do it without turning it off?
[Nova Launcher] Staggers:
That option is not present in stock ICS that comes with the GNex, but it is available in custom ROMs based on AOSP. IIRC, when I had my Desire with GB it wasn't a stock option to reboot to fastboot or recovery either, but I did get the option once I started using custom ROMs. In any case it isn't a launcher issue.

EDIT: What phone and ROM do you have? (Should've asked this first)
[Nova Launcher] djmcnz:
Never in standard Android... it's a ROM feature, not a launcher feature.

If you had it before installing Nova you will still have it...
