I replaced an app icon with a new icon that I downloaded from the web. I have forgotten where I got it and now I'd like to extract the one I'm using. Is it possible?
[Nova Launcher] slimshouki:
Is it possible to add two features to context menu when long clicking any app?

1) kill or stop the app

2) go to play store link
[Nova Launcher] :

But now i use nougat and can't use xposed for this.. Any help?

That how i had it:

Tesla Unread intermittent problem on Nougat 7.0 (Huawei Mate 9)

I've got an intermittent problem. Tesla Unread works fine for a while then stops. When I go into the app, it says I have to set permissions but when I go the the permissions page, it shows that permissions have already been granted. If I toggle the permissions off then on again, Tesla Unread works again for a while. Any ideas?
[Nova Launcher] taskman32:
Please make orientation change just rotate the drawer and main screen icons, like it does with the dock icons, because it isn't pretty the way it rotates right now.
[Nova Launcher] bubba1601:
If you want to make such a request, you need to do it on the nova G+ community, no one from the nova team comes here anymore and haven't done for over 2 years.
[Nova Launcher] jr866gooner:
I bet they sneak a peak [emoji6]
[Nova Launcher] bubba1601:
No actually.

Kevin Barry (novas developer) hasn't used in over two years.

Cliff Wade (head of customer support and social media for Tesla coil) doesn't use XDA at all.

The three community moderators are known to dislike using XDA.

Obviously it was only a polite heads up, the poster can post where he wants but if he wants the suggestion considered, then i suggest you speak to the nova team in a place they do use daily.......
[Nova Launcher] fred_gaou:
[feature request]

Gesture are good but what about using sensors too?

Please, add an option to screen off and lock using proximity sensor. Some basic options would be:

- Only when in home screen.

- The following options will prevent accidental lock and make it flip cover compliant.

Hold duration. (Proceed after covering the sensor a specified amount of time).

Wake and unlock (if wipe screen lock) when uncovering sensor.

There are some apps that do it but make this feature built-in would be great. To unlock a swipe screen, see Automaton.
[Nova Launcher] bubba1601:
As I suggested to the previous poster, to make proper requests to the development team, you need to use the Google plus nova community, no one from the nova team uses XDA and hasn't done for a couple of years.

This is only a user discussion thread, it's not for making requests or reporting bugs to the development team.

That's what the G+ community is for ?
[Nova Launcher] fred_gaou:
Yes, I sent the request through the email provided in their site under feature request/bug report section.

Recent beta update again soft reboots the Samsung Galaxy S3 on CM13, but this time even a hard reboot doesn't come into the system lol. I had to enter TWRP and delete the app folders in /system/app and /data/data.
[Nova Launcher] bubba1601:
There was no recent beta update, 5.4 stable was released yesterday, and there's been another release, 5.4.1 stable today.

Have you updated to the latest one?
[Nova Launcher] madd0g:
OK, then that one, they all **** up the i9300.
[Nova Launcher] bubba1601:
Strangely my oldest son has a i9300 running lineage OS.

Latest Nova working fine......

Have you ever considered the fact this may be a CM problem and not a nova problem?
[Nova Launcher] rmrbpt:
I also had two soft reboots yesterday on my Samsung Galaxy A5 2015.

I'm not sure Nova is the culprit but I never have soft reboots and it happened a couple of hours after the update.
[Nova Launcher] madd0g:
Might be, although it's funny because LOS is essentially CM.

I'm using Trebuchet on that device now anyway, not a big deal.
[Nova Launcher] ameinild:
With the updated Nova Launcher, the Drawer search/recents panel is now NOT in "dark" mode, unless you choose "Drawer" under night mode, which disabled the background color and transparency for App drawer. There was a really nice animation and transition to search/recents panel in 5.3, now it's just plain and not really working with night mode.

When I've chosen "Always night mode" tell me, why would I want an option to have the search/recents panel to be white? It doesn't make any sense at all, please roll back to 5.3 functionality.

Bummer Nova Team!
[Nova Launcher] bubba1601:
All you have to do is goto Nova settings-look and feel - app search and select any colour you want........

Just remember no one from the Nova development team reads this or even uses XDA.

This thread is just a user discussion thread.

I suggest you go to Google plus and post your comments in the nova launcher beta community, that's the place to make your comments known as the nova development team are active on there daily.
[Nova Launcher] ameinild:
Thanks for the tip. Still not impressed with the new search box, it looks really clumsy compared to the old one. Will try G+. ;)
[Nova Launcher] madd0g:
Yeah please post this (don't have G+), the new animation is horrible and breaks the flow of usage. This change could be in settings, to be able to revert back to old one.

[MENTION=2587550]kevin@TeslaCoil[/MENTION]

the only thing i am missing is a different Folder animation/view something like IOS or Touchwiz has.

Fullscreen Folder!

i know its not stock Android style, but a lot of things in Nova arent really a stock experience arent they.

please add this, i am 100% sure ur user will love it!

:fingers-crossed:

i dont know if this reaches the dev or where requests are usually posted, let me know of i am wrong here

thank you
[Nova Launcher] zelendel:
The dev doesn't monitor this thread anymore.

Also you can't say 100% of the users will like it as that is more along the lines of 20% will like it. You have to keep in mind that the look and way IOS acts is not something android users want to duplicate. Many don't buy apple devices due to how they look and act. And to be honest full screen folders is kinda stupid. No need to take up the whole screen for some icons. Reminds me of those idiots that place icons all over their hone screen. Every time a see a home screen like that I can't help but think k of old people and their computers full of program shortcuts[emoji38]
[Nova Launcher] txx3:
u first of all i gonna report u right away, for being rude and implying i am and idiot cause i like a thing u don't like. I probably wont get far with my report, but i think you're the worst and i just have to do it. Second of all, i can't imagine any normal thinking user would ever complaint about 'more' stuff, i don't get what u trying to say, if you one of the guys who don't like it turn it off, i am still 100% sure its a great idea..*f* what you are saying..who gives a damn what u think and what you like...i posted a request ...if they think ..yeah we only have two options right now ..we could add a third one, which is really different why not ..cool. If they don't like it for what ever reason ...also cool, but i am not going to read ur BS explanation and let this influence any opinion on my idea, CAUSE U ARE NOTHING.
[Nova Launcher] Proym:
If you think about it, nothing about full screen folder is stupid because unless you open a folder accidentally all you are interested in is in that folder and nothing else needs to take focus.

Dude, relax...
[Nova Launcher] txx3:
i try ... he is just one kind of an [bodypart that output feces] ...u know

i wrote a request mail to the nova team, i hope they consider it
[Nova Launcher] bubba1601:
I'm sorry to make you feel bad, but around 3000 similar requests were placed in the nova launcher google plus community around 6-10 months ago......yet you claim this is your idea?........wrong.

The nova developer, the customer service manager of nova and the moderation team of the nova launcher community are all active daily on google plus, as its the official place to post requests.

No one from the nova team uses XDA anymore, havent done for over 2years.

I don't want to upset you more, but the request you have made here has been made many times in the official community, and the nova team turned it down flatly because they have NO interest in putting a iOS feature into an android launcher.

The nova team will not ever use iOS or manufacturer features in nova as they follow google closely.

And just a heads up, if you replied to anyone in the google nova community like you did here, you would have your community membership terminated and you would be banned immediately.

the nova mods don't take nonsense like that.

The reply you got here was honest, correct and very true, and as a by stander I didn't like seeing a reply like that, it made me cringe.

My suggestion is if you are not prepared to be told the truth and be prepared for answers you might not like about a request you claim is your own but has been made by over 3000 people many months before you posted here, then you shouldn't post at all.

I dare you to post your "request" in the nova google plus community, as if you do, the mods and devs will skin you alive for posting a "repetitive" request and the many thousands of users will rip you apart.

Regards.
[Nova Launcher] txx3:
keep your suggestion for yourself then, i wrote them a email and got somewhat of a positive answer, it didn't state that the fullscreen is being implemented but that the folders getting an overhaul, that's exactly what i was feeling should be done, i only suggested a esthetic possibility how this could work out, so to say ..u have no clue what your are talking about ...so sit down and be quite.

again there are a lot of feature that are not close to the stock launcher, so that is not the Problem

i don't care if it has been requested 3000 times, doesn't make it a Bad idea...

so kiddo pssssht.
[Nova Launcher] bubba1601:
Excuse me sir, I think I do know what I'm talking about.

The guy who replied to your email is the customer support manager for teslacoil software.

He's also my boss because I do volunteer moderation in the google plus community for the nova team telling people like you we have no plans to introduce certain things that are requested into nova

I'm also in constant contact with the team via Slack, and part of my job is to go around answering users questions in communities where the nova devs are not active, just like here.

Its also fun to get a reply like yours ( you have no clue what you are talking about......that's funny) And copy the nasty and unwarranted reply you gave the other user, copied and pasted to the nova team so we don't allow people like that into the google plus community.

But that's another story.

Just be careful what you type, you never know who's taking notes :)
[Nova Launcher] txx3:
yeah right cause he is an angle for implying i am an idiot for posting a request for an folder ..if you like skin...my reply was not harsh enough.. if you guys really operate like this, i don't want to be part of this.

You call your customers idiots for making a request !

what a great company this is ...congrats!

"Just be careful what you type!" are u treating me???? u guys insane! for real

i am out
[Nova Launcher] bubba1601:
Close the door behind you.
[Nova Launcher] derreck101:
I hope they add android O style pop up notification on long pressing the icons ? soon
[Nova Launcher] txx3:
for a guy, that works for a guy, which also works for a guy that works for guy that has something to do with this launcher, as a voulenteer in an G+ group (a.k.a biggest joke ever) u should be less cocky ...now go ahead and be proud you your life achievement and don't act like u have anything to say in this ...

i am closing the door with a big smile in my face, knowing that i am not in the wrong ...you guys are!

have a good night (if you in that part of the world)

bye
[Nova Launcher] bubba1601:
Thank you for your very kind words.

Yes I will sleep very well knowing someone thinks im cocky.

Believe me, I've been called much much worse........

Anyway, just as a parting thought, I wasn't trying to be cocky or mean or calling you names.

There was nothing wrong in the original reply that was given to you.

You were NOT branded an idiot.

Full screen folders have been requested to nova for years, its not a new suggestion.

The fact its something iOS uses but not necessarily an iOS feature makes it something the devs won't consider, and the full screen folders was likened to "idiots" who have many many icons on their home screen (a reference to devices without an app draw like iphones or huawei devices)

I certainly didn't think anyone called you an idiot and the reply you got is a pretty polite and quite standard "thanks for your suggestion, but we're really not interested right now, have a great day" reply.

Anyway, I didn't come here to argue, I joined in the discussion and got pretty mullered for giving you some advice, that is nothing new in this horrible place.

You take care and enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Some of us have much better things to attend too than blow out of proportion a reply you got somewhere in a dark grubby corner of the internet.

This xda thread is a nova user discussion thread, that's why Kevin Barry, Cliff Wade and the other nova team members don't use it.

I only pop in here a few times a week and see what the topic of discussion is and relay that back, but after this, I'm not so sure I want to come back.
[Nova Launcher] txx3:
i am not here u argue too

saying ..its a stupid idea ...and one sentence later saying ..reminds me of those !!idiots!! ...come on man...come on!!! this is how we talk to each other ..and i am the rude guy?

there is a difference in saying your idea is not good caus ..everything u said in your reply now...and the way he did it.

i get upset and tell him...who are you telling me this is stupid ..and putting me in a category of idiots.

next thing i read is...yeah he was right how dare u reply like that to this innocent guy....na ...naa not with me !!

think about this for a second, u will see i am not the one who started this!

i dont like this ..i wont reply anymore ..i am not going t waste my time on internet beef about an request for a launcher

bye
[Nova Launcher] zelendel:
h you reported me for being rude? That is kinda funny. Had you done any research you would know that I am not known for being a nice guy. Nor do suger coat anything. You are right, I am nothing. Yet I will be here doing this long after you have moved to an iphone.

I never called you an idiot just that the idea reminded me of idiots.

Also might do you well to learn who you are talking to.
[Nova Launcher] Thebear j koss:
Thanks for the great read and late night laughs. This thread is usually of only the highest caliber user ? ?... XDA shoulda closed this years ago, once Kevin stopped engaging with and listening to experienced XDA users, devs, and users who were on board from the start. I guess the mods still enjoy getting a few laughs and cleaning up the mess every few weeks.

Hi,

I have problems with a Nexus 10 (Lineage OS 13, latest nightly, rooted with SuperSu 2.82 and Nova Prime). Worked fine till now. Then reboots when I want to unlock with gesture. Did a factors reset, worked for about a day. Then reboots again by unlocking.

I saw that when the problems started, on the lockscreen was only the return button visible, I missed the Home- and Taskbutton.

I started in safe mode, uninstalled Nova and everything workes fine now.

If any further Information is needed I will try to give them.

Greetings

The nova development team do not use XDA anymore and haven't for two years or more.

It's posted throughout this thread.

If you need to make an "official bug report" use the contact support feature in nova settings to report it, or use the official nova Google plus community where the development team are active daily.

This is only a user discussion thread and no one from the nova team will read your report or act on it unfortunately.

This "bug" is not new but I didn't find a solution that would fix this.
[Nova Launcher] bubba1601:
As posted throughout this thread, if you need to request a specific function, it's best to use the official nova g+ community, as no one from the nova team including the development team use XDA.

I have no idea what happened to Nova in these past couple updates but now after a couple hours Nova just stops working completely and I have to uninstall it and reinstall(sometimes this doesn't even fix the problem) and I have to keep a different "backup" launcher installed for when Nova decides to not work anymore- been using Nova for many years now and have never seen these kind of issues before...
[Nova Launcher] Reechings:
No issues here.
[Nova Launcher] Flasher8:
No issue here too... Using for years. :p
[Nova Launcher] Cyr4x:
Every update since 5.4 (even 5.5 betas) causes bootloop on CM 13 (Marshmallow). On Lineage OS 14.1 (Nougat) everything seems to be ok.
[Nova Launcher] bubba1601:
FYI

Nova cannot cause your device to boot loop UNLESS you have it installed as a system app.

Bootloops are caused by changes to your device system.

Installing a third party launcher won't ever cause a boot loop.

I'm running various 6.0 mm based custom ROMs on a Motorola Moto e third gen and have never seen or heard of any nova bootloops before.
[Nova Launcher] tamaraxxx:
I also experience boot loops after updating the nova app. Device goes into ballroom and removing the files in data is the only solution to fix the problem.

I am also using cm13 Rom from bauner on my note 1.
[Nova Launcher] undeadking:
Looks like I have some logs to pull then. Saw on reddit and another site a few people having the same problem but theirs was supposedly due to icon pack incompatibility- even with default icons I'm still having the issues with 5.4.1 and 5.5.1...
[Nova Launcher] tamaraxxx:
Same here no icon packs installed. Updating nova still causes bootloop with latest update.
[Nova Launcher] dunjamon:
Has anyone had any issues with widgets not updating on the latest beta? I have a calendar widget, but scrolling through months doesn't refresh it.
[Nova Launcher] sir_kendrick:
Also had some issues lately with the widgets not updating, but only after I got my phone from back from repairing, before that everything was fine
[Nova Launcher] Cyr4x:
Instelled as a normal app, not moved to system partition. No matter from Play Store or apk. Maybe not sctrictly bootloop, but phone boots to lockscreen and after unlocking reboots again and so on.
[Nova Launcher] Jep56:
Nexus 6P, running Nougat. Have had the same issues on every ROM (at least 8), that I've tried. "Nova launcher isn't responding", and I have to re-select as home launcher. And it never keeps my wallpaper. Also very laggy at times, freezes and hesitates. Never had the boot loop, but have had it not respond when hitting power button to wake up, just a black screen, and have to hold down for a restart. Also using "Metal CHrome" icon pack. ANy suggestions?
[Nova Launcher] undeadking:
That's basically the exact same issues that I'm having... And I haven't figured out any sort of fix yet... Will let you know if I figure something out

According to the development team, it's coming but they are asking people not to keep asking when it's coming or not to keep requesting it.

More information on the nova Google plus community.

Just a heads up, the mods on G+ are deleting all questions about it and telling users off for asking ?
[Nova Launcher] Frances91:
Just stopping by to mention that I've upgraded to Sesame Shortcuts Paid version.

A while ago I'd chimed in with other users unhappy about removal of playstore search option in app drawer. I continued trying out the Sesame app ever since and a few days on as I'd been traveling I didn't really check the phone much, so when I eventually did, I was pleasantly surprised to see that even 3 days after trial expiration, apart from the trial exp notice that showed up on opening the app settings, there weren't any nagging pop-ups or redirects. This is very unusual for trialware and deserves appreciation. Plus, having used the app long enough and seeing it behave well both privacy and functionality wise I decided to opt for the paid upgrade.

Really like how well it works with Nova. Big thanks to dev team of both apps, I know this isn't the official support thread (will post on there if needed), but I've a feeling the devs are likely be active on Xda forums as well. :svetius:
[Nova Launcher] KBanause:
Titanium will restore your backuped Beta13 directly to /system/app

So you don't have to move it manually. But Titanium will treat Nova as a system app. So batch restoring only user apps will not restore Nova. You have to set the filter to show all uninstalled apps and restore Nova.
[Nova Launcher] 1981suede:
Is it possible to enable the home button to open recent apps with this launcher?
[Nova Launcher] mulletcutter:

Tried searching posts and probably missed it... Nova launcher just closes whenever I try to add a widget to the home screen. Any suggestions? Thank you.
[Nova Launcher] :
It looks like some translation strings are missing in the current version on Crowdin such as everything under Nova Settings -> Behavior -> Home Button. It is still showing in english when i change the system language.

Furthermore "Check for updates..." in Nova Settings seems not to pull the translated string, as it is also showing in english, but there is a corrosponding string on Crowdin ( Strings.xml -> "Check for updates..." ).

On another note, i love your launcher! Nice and clean.
[Nova Launcher] floepie:
Nice reply, but Titanium didn't restore the system app (which was updated) back to /system, because the way I understand it is Titanium *can't* restore system apps, only their data, even if the filter is set to "all apps". So, using the batch command in Titanium reveals that there is one app (Nova) whose data belongs to an "uninstalled" app. I think you just have to manually re-install the latest Nova back to your /system partition using Root Explorer or other method, and then, restore Nova's data with Titanium.
