Hey kevin,

this is a sort of feature request, but I think it is something that must be implemented, or at least you should think about it, so I'm posting it here.

Here's the fact: if you resize a widget to all screen width, in order to center it for example, and you have some folders next to it, if the widget is in foreground you cannot open the folders, and although this is what should happen, it is not intuitive. More complex situations can happen, where widgets and a folder are one over another in one square. I think a good starting point can be:

-A tap on a folder square should always open the folder, regardless of what's on top in that square

-A tap on te geometric centre of a widget should always call the tap routine of that widget, regardless of what's on top in that square

-Other situations should be resolved on a what's on top basis, or maybe you should ask the user

I think that the event of a small 1x1 widget under a bigger widget is something that can easily happen, and now to access to the lower widget you have to bring the other to background, tap the small widget to do whatever you need to do, then bring it to background.

Quite a work I'm afraid... Let me know what you think about that.

Hope this helped,

V

... nice update :)
[Nova Launcher] dismaljester:
With the update today I can no longer add widgets to any screen. It gives the error "No more room on the homescreen" even when it's a 1x1 sized widget on a screen with nothing else on it.

[Nova Launcher] ahu89:
No that isn't what I want lol. I want the folder name when the folder is open to be nothing. I don't want an "unnamed folder" label when I open the folder. I want that entire row underneath the folder when open to be gone.

Confirmed: icon issue fixed with last update - thanks Kevin :) great job!

The stock calendar widget doesn't auto update any more after latest update. Have to restart the launcher for it to update. Otherwise an event that ends at 7.30 is still there 7.31.
[Nova Launcher] peterbonge:
I have the same problem since a few days (since about v1.2beta5). Today in the morning it still showed an event from yesterday. And it is the same with the Pure Calendar widget if it is set to "update on calendar modification".

I've done a lot of tests today. Both widgets are working fine with the original ICS launcher.

I've already send the developer a message. Hopefully this get's fixed soon.
[Nova Launcher] PollPixx:
Also clock widget is not updating every minute since the update. That is really an issue as I check time frequently without a logical reason...

[Nova Launcher] mhwarfield:
Just a little heads up. Not sure where this is leading or what's coming up but it may be a problem on the horizon.

I recently shifted from Deck's ICS rom to JMZTaylor's "unofficial" port of CM9 for the EVO 4G. Been helping out testing the latest experimentals in that line (which has been a painful experience but they are now working once again).

Latest two cuts of jmztaylor CM-9 builds with the dtapps2sd patches have had a peculiar problem with Nova. After a reboot, most of the desktop icons point to apps relocated to the sdcard have the default green android icon and no their own. The apps are available if I tap the shortcut, it's just their icon that's bad. If I restart Nova, the icons are normal once again. If I reboot the phone, their icons are broken again. This was not happening on the 0601 nightly but just started occuring on the 0609 and 0610 cuts (everything in between was radioactive and wouldn't boot).

I've now reproducted my desktop from Nova over to Trebuchet (and the experience really makes me appreciate Nova and all your hard work) and the problem does not manifest itself with Trebuchet. Almost seems like a timing problem like Nova is looking for the icons before apps2sd has them all mounted.

Just letting you know there's something strange going on...
[Nova Launcher] nxt:
How do you use the Temp Unlock? I can't figure out how.

Ah n/m just have to longpress something on the desktop.

I was trying to add an icon from the app drawer first.
[Nova Launcher] dmonzel:
It's because the phone takes a moment to find all your apps on your SD card. You're launching Nova before that's complete. At least that's been my experience with launchers on all of my older phones.

Scrolling the stock calendar widget after updating something on the calendar also seems to crash the calendar app most of the time.

Whenever I open the Play Store via the button on the top-right of the app drawer it does not show up in the recent apps list.

If you could get it so it does, that would be a lot less annoying. :)
[Nova Launcher] benrees21:
Never had a problem before but with the last few updates, for some reason sometimes the scrolling in the app drawer slows down and goes a bit jerky and I have to restart the launcher then its back to normal. It's normally after I exit an app.

Does anyone else have the problem that the notification drawer can't be pulled up again?

Pull down works in portait and landscape mode.

Pull up works in landscape mode, does not work in portrait mode.

Really annoying! I have the same problem with Leedroid ROM and CM9 (full wipe).

[Nova Launcher] wilcomir:
working fine here...

[Nova Launcher] Bunk:
What can it be then? As I said, I always wipe when installing a new rom...
[Nova Launcher] Kurre:
Are your sure that it's related to the launcher? AFAIK notification drawer has nothing to do with launchers. Maybe it's rom/kernel related bug..? Have you tried with other launchers?
[Nova Launcher] jayjay3333:
Agreed. Totally worth the extra $$! I use gestures all the time.

Just tried this and no issue here. CM9 0611 nightly. Matrix 20. Clean install again maybe?
[Nova Launcher] oddspec:
Just wanted to say love this launcher I have prime and I tried apex but can't stay away from nova its hella smooth and for the way I have my phone setup ( one home screen with one widget no apps on it all gestures used no dock and of course first app tabs has all the apps I use most that would normally clog up my home screen ) no other launcher could let me have this setup with this much ease keep up the good work !
[Nova Launcher] encho:
Same here. Love the tabs/folders and for the first time I have clutter-free home with apps where they're supposed to be - in app drawer. Prime user, definitely worth it.

Small easily reproducible graphical glitch:

1. Turn on infinite scrolling for the desktop

2. Scroll from last screen to the first screen (across the infinite border, can't describe it in words)

3. Before the homescreen has finished scrolling, interrupt it by opening the app drawer (using the default app drawer soft button, or by a dock gesture)

The homescreen will suddenly jump to the screen you were previously on before doing the zoom in animation for the app drawer
[Nova Launcher] wilcomir:
I think you should also provide additional informations about how do you open the drawer: do you use a gesture, a soft or a hard button?

V
[Nova Launcher] dvdy:
Added. I only ever use the soft button that is there by default. There's a hard button for opening the app drawer? Haha
[Nova Launcher] wilcomir:
did anyone ever tell you that there are many different devices that run android? yes, some of them even have some hard buttons.

Great little launcher and fast!

My only question is if and whether you're thinking to support the Greek language, I often stay to the Trebuchet launcher (even though I wanna use Nova) all because Nova lacks Greek... I hope it will be fixed soon.

Thanks, keep it up ;)
[Nova Launcher] wilcomir:

I love nova man, thank you so much !
[Nova Launcher] LocutusEstBorg:
I have a couple of problems with Nova Launcher.

The first and most annoying is that never detects Prime most of the time. I've purchased Prime from Google Play Store and I have to keep restarting Nova Launcher several times a day so that it detects Prime.

Secondly, in recent versions I experience massive input lag on the homescreen. It easily takes 200ms to recognise any of my swipes any only after this delay does it scroll to the next page. This is very annoying and is most noticeable if you have set the speed to slow. On top of that the very first page scroll stutters and freezes as well. The drawer does not have this input lag. I presume it's because of the gestures on the homescreen. I've disabled all the gestures but I still have input lag.

The drawer does not scroll smoothly when set to vertical mode. There is very visible stuttering and jitter when scrolling vertically.

This is on a Galaxy S II and a device this powerful should not lag. The stock TouchWiz launcher is a perfect example of how smooth and fluid the homescreen should be.
[Nova Launcher] dieterhaack:
@KurianOfBorg

Stock ROM 4.0.3, Galaxy S2; No such problems here.
[Nova Launcher] LocutusEstBorg:
Sorry but I can't accept that, especially when most people have a sub-standard idea of acceptable performance.

Like I stated before the input lag on the homescreen (not the drawer) was not there before.
[Nova Launcher] scuba156:
None of the issues you describe here on a sgs I9000, all input is basically lag free(except if many, many apps are running in the background).

It's no one elses issue if you don't want to accept that theres a possibility it could be something on your end. Try clearing nova's cache, clearing dalvik cache or even reinstalling nova (installing it as a system app is best).

Edit: Prime also works here everytime, no issues. Another indication it could be something on your end...
[Nova Launcher] LocutusEstBorg:
Dear lord, I reinstall and wipe my device like once a week. Homescreen input lag is a persistent problem with the current version of Nova Launcher.

MOD EDIT: Personal attacks are not tolerated

Yes, if 3G is down for a second, the DRM probably disables Prime when it fails the license check.
[Nova Launcher] djmcnz:
I'm using the latest beta and there's no lag on my Galaxy Nexus, does that count?

Also Prime stays enabled for me even with Airplane mode on so I'm not sure if your assumption is correct.

It seems like you're experience isolated problems, perhaps looking at the Android logs might help?
[Nova Launcher] Dr_Dox:
Widget problems...

Hi

I've purchased nova launcher, is good but I have a very big annoying problem. I use NexusGalaxy wigh ICS 4.0.4. I use a lot of LaunchX widget, beautiful widget and fancy widget. I have to report 2 main problems:

1. I can't add more than 4 LaunchX widget!!! I add first....fine, twice....fine.... .... .... fifth: CRASH!!! NOVA crash adding the fifth LaunchX widget and I have to clear data to restart the launcher. In fact, is impossible to use in my case.

2. Assuming adding 2 or 3 LaunchX widget, fancy and beautiful toggle widget. At restart the phone the widgets won't update!!!! toggle don't change graphical state, the clock stay ever at the same time and LaunchX widgets won't update automatically your state if I change some properties. This happens with Apex and ADWLauncherEX also!!!

Please, any ideas?

Bye
[Nova Launcher] LocutusEstBorg:
Airplane mode will instantly return that there's no connection present. A failed 3G data would time out and fail the license check.

Galaxy Nexus is slower than SGS2. Doesn't count. I'm being very specific here: INPUT LAG. A delay before it slides after you touch. I can swipe fast and completely remove my finger from the screen before it will actually slide to the next screen. This is only on the homescreen and not the drawer. Sliding left and right in the draw is instant.

Gesture detection might cause it to wait for a few milliseconds before it finally "decides" what to do.
[Nova Launcher] scuba156:
Lol, yeah ok...
[Nova Launcher] scuba156:
Just to prove a point...

Activated aeroplane mode, force stopped nova launcher and nova launcher prime, went back to homescreen to reopen nova, opened nova settings and prime features STILL work. Nova most likely stores the status of the license check in the cache so it doesn't have to call home everytime. I've gone for days with no data connection and STILL had prime features working. Don't be so quick to shut down the voice of others, it's a community forum after all...

Edit: also just tried with a false APN, same result.
[Nova Launcher] LocutusEstBorg:
When you're in aeroplane mode, it instantly tells you there is no data connection. It's not the same as an unresponsive 3G connection where checking for a data connection still returns true, but your network connections fail. If the exception is not properly handled, or if it fails too many times it's probably considering the license check as failed.
[Nova Launcher] scuba156:
I just added an edit to my previous post.
[Nova Launcher] LocutusEstBorg:
That also results in an instant host unreachable routing failure. Asking the phone "Is there a data connection?" will return false.
[Nova Launcher] scuba156:
not if there's a valid data connection that I'm not allowed to access due to the carrier, the phone thinks i have a data connection which would return true in a function call, but would time out, which can be proved with other apps I've tried. Since I'm on prepaid, like i already said I've gone days with no data connection (data is enabled, just no data will go through my carrier, well return with a time out error) yet prime features still work fine.
[Nova Launcher] scuba156:
Without nova source code available it's impossible to prove but this seems to be the case (and would also be the smarter option from a design aspect as one can't always assume a data connection will always be available)
[Nova Launcher] LocutusEstBorg:
The fact that clicking the Restart Nova Launcher button makes it work fine means that the license check is misbehaving.

What are you suggesting? Some other random interfering with the license check? Phone settings interfering? All ridiculous.
[Nova Launcher] djmcnz:
You're not helping yourself here, why don't you go somewhere else?

We no longer care if it works for you.
[Nova Launcher] LocutusEstBorg:
I don't want or need your help (which you can't provide anyway) since you don't develop Nova Launcher or have it's source code.
[Nova Launcher] djmcnz:
You missed my point.

You're making yourself unwelcome.
[Nova Launcher] LocutusEstBorg:
Because there are people saying stupid things like no it doesn't lag on my (obsolete) phone. The whole phone lags; you can't see it.

It's like being "unable" too see the lag on your Android phone because you're too obsessed with it being superior to the iPhone.

I'm making an objective, measurable observation about the touch response time on the Nova Launcher homescreen compared to before. The fact that it doesn't delay in the drawer shows that there's something different there.
[Nova Launcher] djmcnz:
Not so sure... I've been around for a while mate... ;)

G1, N1, O2X, SGS2, GN, Transformer Prime... I think I have enough experience to know what 'lag' is.

And nobody has said *you* don't have a problem, they're only said *they* don't have a problem and you've dismissed their views.

That's pretty rude, you also come across as arrogant.

You're not making yourself welcome.

[Nova Launcher] brunswick000:
Have been using nova since it's inception, starting with my nexus s.Now using it on my galaxy nexus and it has been working flawlessly.

However, in the last few days I have been having problems with my home screen widgets. Beginning with beautiful widgets. I would have super clock set and everytime I went into an app or the drawer and then returned to the home screen the widget would have to load again. I thought perhaps it was that particular widget so I down loaded fancy widgets. Same problem.

Another weird thing is that the widget would remain loaded as normal, but a second, same widget would be loading behind it. Or, the clock would freeze but then it would advance the numbers as a second clock of numbers over top of the frozen numbers. My last resort is to try a different ROM, which I don't really want to do cause I'm a CM9 guy. Has anyone experienced anything similar?
