I noticed that when I am using a non-scrollable wallpaper sized 720x1280 on my Galaxy S3, the image was being cropped a few pixels on all sides. Anyway to fix this to show the whole wallpaper in the homescreen?
[Nova Launcher] Gambler_3:
The app drawer still has the unresponsive problem on nexus S, very disappointing. I can actually "feel" that the animations are smoothest on nova which makes it all the more sad to not be able to use due it to the unresponsive app drawer.

When I posted this problem for the first time alot of other people had this problem too. But am I the only one now who still has this problem?

wallpaper just wont move

Hello I just recently installed nova launcher and I cannot get the background to move when I scroll I've used never in the past have had the same issue on this phone what am I doing wrong I have all the settings set correctly. Nova Launcher is the only one I have had problems with when it comes to scrolling the background wallpaper. I have a samsung galaxy note.

Thanks!

[Nova Launcher] khaytsus:
I've had to manually fix my widgets about five times now in Nova... this feels like the Widget Launcher + buggy Android widget code problem of about 1-1.5 years ago. After a reboot they're broken, gone, or randomly rearranged for me almost every time.

And not just a spontaneous type of reboot, a planned power button, power off, yes, etc, type reboot.

I don't know if this is specific to Nova, Android, etc.. I don't use any other launchers and don't plan to but might try setting up Apex today to compare behavior to see if it's happening in both (most likely an Android bug) or not happening there (most likely a Nova bug).

Right, I am using Ultimate Custom Clock Widget UCCW, in XDA are a lot of skins.

I am using a own customized (based in one from BlackBearBlanc) skin. And forecast is from Beautiful Widgets overlaped on semi transparent widget backgroud made with UCCW too.
[Nova Launcher] kangy:
I'm having the manually fix all of my widgets after each reboot also. Worked great until the 4.2 update. I've been rebooting a lot trying to workaround the new file structure in 4.2 for TWRP and stickmount, I've given up on Nova for now and gone back to stock launcher until this is fixed. Also the Tesla Unread stopped working on the 4.2 update also
[Nova Launcher] OpaqueEcho:
Following the 4.2 update and subsequent Nova Launcher update, the "Jump to Page" Nova Action seems slower, in that it requires that the page transition animation to complete before it will allow you to switch to another page using another "Jump to Page" action. Can anyone else confirm? The behavior seems different than how it worked before, in that it would jump to the new page instantly.

Nova Launcher is my favorite launcher; thanks for all of your hard work!

EDIT: I should note that the "Jump to Page" actions that I have configured are in my dock; not sure if it's related or not.

Shortcut -> Activities -> Close?

I have been trying to add activities via the shortcut menu, but once I select activities, the loading screen just hangs and then closes back to the shortcut menu. Anyone have any idea why I can't access activities?

I tired rebooting, wiping data, and reinstalling; and nothing works.

On a side note, I have QuickShortcutMaker and it DOES access activities, but I would rather use the built-in function rather than another app.

No space on home?

Hi,

Since a few weeks now, everytime I install a new app from Google Play, I get a message (appearing a couple of seconds at the bottom of the screen) saying "Space on home screen exhausted" (or something in that line, I'm translating from italian localization).

But that's not true. I have space available in all of my home screens and, in fact, after another couple of seconds, the icon of the new app appears there correctly (despite the warning).

Is this a Nova bug or Google Play bug?
[Nova Launcher] dannejanne:

Any way to get a purely portrait wallpaper to crop in Nova Prime? I've got some qHD (540x960) wallpapers, and with wallpaper scrolling disabled and rotation fixed to portrait, it still wants to crop the wallpaper for whatever aspect ratio 1080x960 is (w*2 by h so... 9:8 or something?). Guess I could add the sides to be just black but if I'm not wallpaper scrolling, I'll never see the edges so... why bother?

Have you pulled a logcat yet? I think doing so, and emailing it to Kevin, along with your video, would help to get your issue resolved. Unfortunately, the information you've provided thus far, won't allow any of us to do anything more than speculate at what may be causing your issues.

I run Nova on four devices; my Galaxy Nexus, A500, original Galaxy Tab, and my Droid 3, and I've never had FC issues like the ones presented in your video. Could your problem be ROM related? I know CM has moved to a slightly different format than the one traditionally used by developers, so you may have some conflict there. :confused:

Question for you guys. If my phone is locked, I can drag down my notification bar and select something there (an ongoing task or notification). The associated app will open up and when I back out of the app, my phone is unlocked.

Is that intended behavior?

[Nova Launcher] tomcat84:
I have a question about Android's memory management and Nova Launcher... Im not sure if this is a feature request, maybe someone can tell me.

The problem is: Im using Nova Prime for some time now, and I almost never had any launcher redraws. Nova never had to reload.

But now I am using Home2 shortcut to set up key bindings. So for example I can launch Google voice search by double-pressing the homebutton now.

Since I am using Home2 shortcut, Im frequently getting redraws in Nova launcher when exiting an app. It sometimes takes long to reload.

Maybe this is because Nova launcher is no longer my "default home" application?

Is there a way to tell Android to keep Nova launcher in memory at all times, even if it is NOT the "default home" app?

(The default home app is now Home2 shortcut, which then forwards the home click action to Nova.)
[Nova Launcher] sabret00the:
No there isn't. ICS and upwards doesn't allow for keeping apps in the memory as per the Gingerbread days. Perhaps you should try to find an alternative to Home2?
[Nova Launcher] TStarGermany:
If that's your only wish: Exactly that can be done with Nova Prime.
[Nova Launcher] tomcat84:
Thanks for the replies.

How would that work?

Besides, I also use Home2 shortcut to launch different apps when I press Home and then quickly press menu or back. (Home + back = AirCalc and Home + menu = KeePassDroid, if anyone was interested... very handy combination :) )
[Nova Launcher] derekr44:
I've run into a small problem on JB. I currently have been using only one home screen. When I go into Nova Settings to add another via the Desktop > Home Screens option, I can't seem to add any. There is no option to increase the number of screens. I am using v1.3.3

EDIT: Found it. Can't add home screens when Nova is locked... duh.

There should be a small + sign in the upper right corner
[Nova Launcher] TStarGermany:
1) System settings / Acessability menu / down at the bottom "Start with 2 x Home button"

2) Nova settings / Gestures / "Home button" and "Long press Menu button"

No clue if the translations from my german menu are accurate but you should get the point.

So you're somehwat limited to assigning 3 different actions but that should be a proper start.

Unfortunately, my SGS3 doesnt have that option in the system settings.

I know the Nova gesture settings, they are kind of limited compared to Home2 shortcut. I think Ill keep it for now, even if it causes launcher redraws... :)
