[Nova Launcher] BOTICSELLI:
More logical animations in the UI

Dear Developer!

Your Nova Launcher Prime is my favorite launcher.

Congratulations!

I have a suggestion. May I?

In the "Nova actions" section, replace the "show previews" action animation from "zoom in" to "ZOOM OUT" please!

And the nova action - open app drawer effect meant to be a "zoom in".

It is the only one frustrating thing in Nova Launcher Prime for me.

Can you replace it please?

In my opinion, animations in the UI are not just because to be fancy or cool looking.

Thay have a psychological part to!

They can show the brain that "where am I in the UI at the moment".

Sorry for my bad english.

Do you understand what I mean?

Zoom out effect on the "show previews" action will be much more logical.

In this case the most logical effect what I have seen, is in the "Apex launcher". Please take a look, how it looks like in Apex...

Logical and nice.

But your "Nova Launcher Prime" is much much better than Apex, so I don't wanna use Apex just because their animations are more logical.

Nova Launcher Prime have much more options and features.

Thank you for your attention.

Keep up the good work.

Cheers from Hungary!

Even though I don't particularly want this feature, I voted for it based solely on the fact that you took the time to read the OP, and do some research before posting. [emoji106]

Ladies and gentlemen of the Nova Launcher thread (and every other thread on this site), THIS is what is expected of you. Read before commenting, search for information, and respond accordingly. If a new user can have this kind of common sense and courtesy, why can't more of you do it? Great example of how a responsible community member acts.

Nova Launcher Prime on my AT&T Galaxy S5

Hi,

I have nova launcher prime as my primary home screen and launcher app. I really like it. One problem I'm having is the notification bubbles on icons. I have downloaded MissedIt! as a choice in the app, but I can't seem to get the Facebook / Email / Gmail icons to display the notification bubbles. Is there any additional configuration necessary to get the notification icons to show the count bubble? I really would like to get this to work. Thanks.

[Nova Launcher] jamaica168:
Did you add them under the shared elements in the missed application? Gmail will be under email accounts and Facebook and email under the application selection. Also, did you make sure to select missed it in Nova settings as an unread count provider?

Nova launcher icon problems

I have two separate issues concerning icons with the latest beta of Nova Launcher Prime.

First one is that when i reboot the device some of the apps that are put in folders, create a duplicate icon in the drawer. I have read that others have this issue, but could not find a fix.

The second one is that after I updated my LG G Pad 8.3 to the latest version (4.4.2) the icons for most of the LG apps are missing and instead the generic green android icon is displayed. The icons show normally on the stock lg launcher. I have tried wiping data and cache for nova launcher but it did not help, any ideas?
[Nova Launcher] NVETHIS:
That was exactly what I needed to do. Added the apps and now they're showing the bubble notifications. Thanks for the help.

[Nova Launcher] B@sti:
Hey guys. First of all - i really like the nova launcher. Best for me so far.

Just want to know if theres going on something in the background.

Any new features or something else planned? :)

Please don't punish me for this question. I'm just curious and want to know if it gets any updates in near future.

If not, i'll stay with it anyways. :D

With kind regards, Sebastian.

Same issue here.

I thought this had something to do with my currupt ROM.

Now I flashed a new ROM and installed latest nova prime. (Configured everything from the scratch, no backup.)

Edit: any suggestions how to fix this?

Hi [MENTION=2587550]kevin@TeslaCoil[/MENTION], and thanks once again for the best launcher out there.

However, Nova has a small quirk every now and then for me: as soon as I do a full wipe followed by a Rom flash on any of my devices, Nova cannot verify my Prime license.

Sorry to bother you with this trivial matter in the thread, but I had sent you an email about it on Apr 16 and there was no reply (bosko.trkulja@etc etc).

Do you use Titanium Backup? If not, download it and use it to back up Nova and Nova Prime... You shouldn't have any issues after that.

Did he at least open a git repo somewhere before disappearing?

[Nova Launcher] tvisforme:
Nova was updated December 10, 2013 per the Play listing. There's an unanswered post on the Nova website's suggestions forum saying "The developer has stated that he is no longer going to put work into it."

Any ideas where else to look for the dev to confirm this?
[Nova Launcher] L.F.B.:
Congrats Kevin for the baby. Didnt knew that. Have a great time with your family.

We wait for you wen you come back. Cheers.:)
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
A launcher dev will never start a git repo for a paid product. In all of my years using Android, I've never seen a developer of a popular app like this, open source their code, and I don't really blame them... They need to have some way to protect themselves and keep their products from being stolen or becoming irrelevant.

As for his last post, all I can say is this... I don't think any of us would be willing to put up with the kinda crap we see in this thread. In order to preserve his sanity, I'm pretty sure he simply opted to stop posting here. Unfortunately, the life of a top notch developer isn't all that easy. With millions of users making constant demands and complaints, I'm sure dealing with threads can be a headache.

Is it possible to save bookmarks to app drawer?
[Nova Launcher] Conte Mascetti:
I bought Nova almost a year ago, it's several months without an update now...and recently I tried 4/5 launchers, just to have an opinion.

Well... every launchers sucks, Nova is still the greatest, smoothest and fastest, user friendly, customizable, stable and (surprise surprise) without recent updates.

So I think Kevin was months forward, none of launchers out there is equal to Nova.

I'm going to use Nova until I can. And I'll wait anxiously of course, but if it won't happen... I'll be grateful to Kevin the same for his work.

Thanks.

I've seen many threads get closed/locked due to inactivity or support by the dev. I could point you to a couple. People may purchase this app only later to realize what some are upset over. As a matter of fact, it was two 'launcher' threads.
[Nova Launcher] mrdoug:
I don't use Google+, so I am unable to partake. :(

Any chance you could post a list of proposed changes it will bring? (I say 'proposed' because beta features don't always equate to release changes)

As an aside, should Kevin be reading here... WELCOME BACK! I hope all is well with the family and your new addition. :)

[Nova Launcher] gp545:
Thanks Kevin;

Few days ago I had asked to support WhatsApp unread badge support and you fulfilled it very soon.. You're so amazing :)
[Nova Launcher] kolella:
this is probably a joke, it was already asked in "Nova feature requests" in 2012.

By the way, Nova + Missed It as notification provider work very well together.
[Nova Launcher] amarjit_rsingh:

Thread lightly cleaned of off topic and unnecessary discussion as it has no development related value. Please take that stuff to PM.
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
^^That entire log points directly to ART as the culprit. Have you tried using Dalvik + the dalvik and bionic optimizations instead? It'll save you storage space, you'll have no issues with apps crashing, and it's just as fast. ART is to be considered experimental until Google approves it for default use, so you can't blame an app for runtime related issues.
[Nova Launcher] nickdc986:
I'm running art and nova with no issues.
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
I thought that ART played well with Nova from most of the reports I've seen. Honestly I'm surprised that all jazzespresso's issues are directly related to ART. Is there any documentation in the ART threads that you think could help him/her solve the problem? I saw a low memory message in that log, so there could be a memory leak somewhere, likely from the kernel level.

[MENTION=4758472]jazzespresso[/MENTION] - you list 4 devices in your signature... Which one did that log come from?
[Nova Launcher] gp545:
Not definitely.. I don't visit this section of XDA often nor I do visit feature request ? Was explaining my happiness because I had posted that request just few days ago on this very thread and got over happy to see an update for Tesla Unread.

BTW, Offtopic:

Whatsapp started support for Unread badges few weeks ago. They didn't use to display unread count in 2012.
[Nova Launcher] jazzespresso:
well, i changed nothing...so not sure how it related to ART.....where I should check and see if it is using ART or Dalvik??

Edit: I don't think Nexus 7 (first gen) Stock 4.4.2 has any option to select ART or Dalvik as runtime...just did google...but let me know

---------- Post added at 04:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:15 PM ----------

Nexus 7 (first gen) Stock 4.4.2
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
The runtime option is found in Developer Options, 4th tab down, and on a Nexus device with 4.4.2, the option to switch *should* be there.
[Nova Launcher] rgawenda:
I'm running ART under CM11 while using advanced features of Nova like having widgets under icons without any dock
[Nova Launcher] kolella:
that's the reason you have to use a third party application like teslaunread/missed it + badge support in the launcher to show them.
[Nova Launcher] jazzespresso:
it is not....Nexus 7 (first gen. 2012) stock 4.4.2 does NOT have run time option in developer section...
[Nova Launcher] chikimonke:
My first Gen N7 begs to differ. Should be one of the first few options.
[Nova Launcher] jazzespresso:
that's interesting...are you using custom ROM? I am on purse stock 4.4.2, and it does not have that option. In fact, I did search and google it too...

strange...
[Nova Launcher] chikimonke:
I am using SlimKat, but it's AOSP based, figured that option was straight from stock.
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
I suppose it could be possible. Believe it or not, AOSP varies a lot from OEM Stock Android. Building AOSP 4.4.2 for the Nexus 5 requires a bunch of edits and vendor file manipulation, before it even comes close to the firmware that came on the device. I still find it strange that a Nexus device wouldn't have the runtime option (even my Galaxy Nexus has it), but I suppose it's entirely possible.

Edit: I just checked, and the first generation stock N7 and N10, indeed do not have the ART switcher in Settings. It seems preposterous to me, but I guess Google still wants to test more, before they put "older" hardware at risk. With that said, I'm completely confused by the log now... Android runtime (ART) is mentioned in virtually every line, and yet the device doesn't have the ability to switch... ?
[Nova Launcher] jsferra1:
What about tapping the build number 7 time in a row in the about phone setting to turn on the option for setting the mode
[Nova Launcher] jazzespresso:
I have read somewhere that it is only for quad-core tablets...so yes first generation stock N7 and N10 4.4.2 does NOT have ART switcher in the settings.

I have some idea/clue what my Nova (it is Prime paid one by the way) keep chrasing with " java.lang.OutOfMemoryError" (according to catlog, which I also posted here). However, if you guys notice that the catlog, it also complains about AndroidRuntime(1078): at android.graphics.Bitmap.nativeCreateFromParcel, doing more research on that, it seems like pointing wallpaper, it looks like Nova having issue with wallpaper something regarding of that...

i did clean install Nova, started from scratch, and no surprise in a few hours later while my Nexsus 7 table sitting there idle, when I checked, Nova crashed again, and strangely the wallpaper I set gone and replaced with default one...

Doing more research on this and testing different conditions, I figure out that if the wallpaper you set is huge (dimension vise), after couple hours later, Nova having issue, eventually crashes as it seems, strangely enough I can't always reproduce this all the time, so I can't able to tell for sure if the size of wallpaper or as jjhiza pointed out that could be ART as the culprit even if generation stock N7 4.4.2 does NOT have ART as option...

I switched to Apex Launcher prime and set everything the way my Nova was set, I have been using Apex last couple hours and it is not crashed yet. if I get the same issue with Apex, that would probably tell me that something else is going on my tablet than the launchers...

[Nova Launcher] snnrkn:
Yes it does. Lower your horizontal grid size and they'll look fine.
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
This is likely a no go. That feature is closed source, so importing it directly into Nova won't be possible. However, Kevin has taken some time off to focus on family, and he's recently come back with a slew of updates to Tesla Unread. He's added features that users have been clamoring for, so maybe he's got something exciting up his sleeve with Nova as well.
[Nova Launcher] B@sti:
Nice to see that something's going on.

I respect the op's choice 'cause what is more important than family?

I bought nova launcher prime, everything is working fine so far. I have only one request that has been already discusses here (I used the search function).

Scrolling wallpaper doesn't work in the same way as it does in GEL. I think GEL has a very small parallax effect not possible with Nova.

We have three options:

No

Yes (some people say it doesn't work, it does but not in the same way than GEL)

And reverse scrolling

Maybe the developer can add another option like GEL style?

I was using GEL since it came out but after checking the customization option nova has I bought it.

Best regards.

[Nova Launcher] djakrse:
I'm new to Nova Launcher, since the new One is my first new phone after the original Droid. Wallpaper scrolling hasn't worked on my phone for the stock Blinkfeed launcher or Nova, since day one. I don't think Nova is responsible for wallpaper scrolling not working, but scrolling does work for me in ADW EX. Can you describe how the wallpaper scrolling looks, as in, comparable to ADW (wallpaper doesn't meet on the edges, but jumps to the far side) or like Home++ (sorry, only other experience I've had -- wallpaper edges meet, with wallpaper continuing to scroll with swipe motion)?

I'd like to buy Nova, but not unless wallpaper scrolls the way it was designed in Home++. The ADW way of scrolling bugs me to the point I'd pay not to deal with it.
[Nova Launcher] peikojose:
Thanks for your reply. The way wallpaper scrolling works in the stock GEL is hard to explain but to see it working install KK Launcher from the Play Store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kk.launcher

Now with Android 4.4 you can have many launchers installed and switch easily between them, so no problem trying.

In my opinion Nova should include that option, makes the scrolling smoother..
[Nova Launcher] smeejaytee:
I really like the look and feel of Nova but I love the swipe right for Google now feature in gel it's a shame nova can't do it it would make nova a perfect launcher
[Nova Launcher] MrKaon:
It it's not Nova's limitation as Google hasn't released API for Google Now, maybe in the future but at the moment to way for third party launcher to have this ability.
[Nova Launcher] peikojose:
I seem to understand what is the problem with the scrolling wallpapers... If I use the 5 stock screens then it shows the effect nicely.. Just like GNL... But when I select only two home screen the effect vanishes... While in GNL it works fine.. Try it and let me know...
[Nova Launcher] djakrse:
This is actually one of the things I tried in Nova, though I just added the screens... didn't work... so reverted back to 3. But then you are talking about Sense Blinkfeed, "Just like GNL," right? Testing... Did not work for me. 5 screens and still no wallpaper scrolling... Or did you mean 5 screens in stock, then 5 in Nova? Still doesn't work for me. Any reboot or reloading of processes inbetween?
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
A quick thread search would have gotten you guys the answers you are looking for. No, we can't share the beta link, because it's a semi-private beta (you have to be part of the G+ community to get it). Yes, it now supports unread count for Hangouts as well as many other apps.

I posted the changelog myself on a previous page, and it includes a link to the G+ community, so you can get the beta if you want. [emoji57]
[Nova Launcher] peikojose:
Just like GNL means Google Now Launcher. I am a Nexus 5 user. I didn't have to reboot to show it working... If I add 5 home screens the wallpaper scrolling works fine. If I add two or three it doesn't.
