Not sure if this request has already been mentioned previously but I would love having an option of assigning an alternate mapping of the home key when in the home screen. In other launchers I can press the home key on the home screen to open the app drawer (and other actions).
[Nova Launcher] akellar:
Love the launcher. Possible to add the ability to add/subtract pages? I typically only use 3 and don't really need the extras.
[Nova Launcher] vua777:
cool and good as stock

bookmarked
[Nova Launcher] luigi90210:
i would love to see some sort of widget grouping thing(IE hot reboot has 4 widgets and they would be grouped instead of ungrouped) and ability to add pages and some more scrolling effects(the cube is nice but i personally dont like it)

oh and some widgets(kinda like launcher pro but only with facebook and twitter cause i hate the twitter widget and i dont use the facebook app cause of the permissions it requests)
[Nova Launcher] dnoyeb:
Just get android pro widgets from the market. Problem solved
[Nova Launcher] ryankliber:
How about some settings for swiping up and down on the homescreen. More specifically i would like to be able to pull down the notification shade by sliding down anywhere when at the homescreen.
[Nova Launcher] luigi90210:
is it free?(my nexus is being experimented on with one of my roms i just finished so atm its out of commission)

AppWidgetPicker works fine with ICS. Install as System App (Just like Nova) and you will get your grouped Widgets (In the 'list form' .. not on the ICS style Widget page)

This is awesome! Is there a way to enable the search bar?

Sent from my ICS Nexus S 4G
[Nova Launcher] sn0pzer:
Awesome launcher, great job!

Would be even better if you could add these features:

1. Gestures (swipe down for notifications, swipe up for [...] etc.)

2. Option to enable the search widget from stock launcher

3. Option to hide apps from the app drawer
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
Hiding apps is a native ICS feature. Go to Manage Apps, choose the app you want to hide, and select Disable. This will remove it from your application drawer, and stop it from running (ie. Freezing it I guess) until you choose to enable it again. :)
[Nova Launcher] OSully:
One more request.. ability to change the folder icon to a regular icon and hide the label
[Nova Launcher] Calles:
Love the Launcher! Really missed my docs from launcher pro when switching to ICS. Coming from Samsung Galaxy S there is still one thing I miss, having the on/off buttons for wifi, bluetooth, gps and so on in the status bar (when it's pulled down). Would be awsome if you could fix that as an option!! :)
[Nova Launcher] smelian:
Great launcher

1- can u make option to show/hide search bar in main screen

2- in draw keep widget same way there are before at least we can see how they will look like before we put them in screen

3- add more effect
[Nova Launcher] bp328i:
I'm not here to make any request, I just really wanted to say Thanks and Great job!!!
[Nova Launcher] IntenseImage:
that's not what they are talking about. They want to hide an app in the drawer without disabling it. Example: hide the settings icon since you can access via the pulldown
[Nova Launcher] chites:
Great Job! I hated the widgets in the drawer, this fixed that perfectly. I am very impressed. Thank you!
[Nova Launcher] Kamar234:
This is a great app and thank you. The only problem that I have with it is, with us no longer having a dedicated search button, the removal of the search bar now makes it longer for me to find my apps and other things. Is there any way to turn the constant search bar back on? And if not, could you please put that in a future version?
[Nova Launcher] AdrianM:
That is not part of and can't be done by the launcher.

Sent from the future using my thoughts.
[Nova Launcher] ranova:
Install widgetsoid to get a very similar feature. you can customize how it looks, which can look really nice. see screenshot. Only downside is that its not always on top, no big deal. The tappable toggles only work in ICS, anything lower seems to open a separate popup no matter what you tap. So SGN users, this is perfect!
[Nova Launcher] eyc:
no nonnono, please don't make it compact again! When it was compact, the dock icons would not line up with the grids above it. I tried changing the grid to 4 rows, 5 rows, etc, but it never lined up. It's perfect now!
[Nova Launcher] aNYthing24:
An option to make them compact would be nice though. It looked better IMO.
[Nova Launcher] leehoo7777:
very nice new ICS Launcher~! GOOD~

thanks!
[Nova Launcher] Digital_G0D:
Been using this launcher since beta 5 I think, really great so far. I'm so happy to have the toggles in my pulldown, now if I could just have the ability to change folder icons this would be perfection for me.
[Nova Launcher] alphanu22:
change folder icons? open the folder and change the top left app to what ever icon you want-
[Nova Launcher] lynseyw:
There is. Desktop Settings, Margins. You can change it back to compact.
[Nova Launcher] Digital_G0D:
Yes, but you still see the other icons stacked behind it and the circle around it. I just want to change the entire icon like I can for an app. Hopefully this will be added, right now it says that edit folder hasn't been implemented yet.
[Nova Launcher] BradleyUffner:
Yeah, I'm running GummyNex with Franco's kernel. When I asked about the font corruption in the gummy Thread I was pointed squarely back here.
[Nova Launcher] aNYthing24:
Doesn't affect the dock, though.
[Nova Launcher] talhamid:
A word of thanks

Hello Kevin

Till beta 8 I was experiencing serious performance issues. The screen would redraw after getting out of full screen apps. The app drawer would open once and then refuse to open for several attempts.

Like magic, like telepathy, I turned up at work to find beta 10. Suddenly, all my complaints are gone! There is still some sluggishness sometimes when coming out of an app, but that's it. I don't mind the spread out icons in the dock, I know sooner or later that will be fixed.

Sincere thank you for your hard work - this is right now perhaps the best supported app for Android, and the most useful. The way you address complaints and feature requests makes us all feel like you are our friend.

There is just one suggestion: perhaps you can choose to fix the margins, but after that, IMHO no other modifications are needed - just concentrate on making it faster, work better with LWPs (no stuttering), and smoother than the stock launcher. Once you feel you have done enough (or even before that), slap it on the Market where I believe a lot of people including me are waiting in line to pay you for this.

This app will go places - there will be no shortage of people who will buy Samsung and HTC ICS devices but will hate the guts of their respective skins, and this will be no less than a revolution.

Thanks for making ICS even more useful, a tough task since Google seems to have put in so much hard work into ICS.

I have an interesting bug report...

Nova beta 9

Bugless Beast 1-5-12

Apex 5 kernel

Make a new folder on the lower left of your homescreen. Open the folder, then close it, then open it, then close it, repeat. The icons inside the folder will keep shrinking until Nova launcher crashes.

Sorry if this has already been reported...
[Nova Launcher] just4747:
Holy crap, didn't even realize you could now change the margin width to 4 different options in beta 10 now until I read a post in here. The changelog just said folder margins fixed!

Nice thanks man, I like the small margins.
[Nova Launcher] Shadow-Nexus:
It has and its already fixed in beta 10
[Nova Launcher] just4747:
Read my last post..beta 10 now has an option in the Desktop settings menu to change margins to 4 different widths!
[Nova Launcher] talhamid:
Sorry, I meant dock margins - missed that out.
[Nova Launcher] just4747:
Oops! Nvm. Hopefully we can have options for those margins as well! There are never too many options to have to customize this thing fully! :)
[Nova Launcher] Dragooon123:
Amazing launcher, working quite well at 200 DPI. Just a couple of suggestions,

1) Dock in tablet mode, this'll be geat.

2) Grid size above 7x7, I'd like to use 8x7 for my phone but I can't go above 7x7 at the moment.
[Nova Launcher] peachananr:
Currently on Beta 10, My last homescreen (fifth homescreen) is somewhat misaligned when i came back from the app drawer. Anyone experiencing this as well?

[Nova Launcher] maritimesbob:
Will Nova ever consider increasing the max size of the icons to 150%, the same as some other launchers? A lot of folks like big icons, like myself I am trying to build a dekstop of 4 columns similar to an miui layout, but with a max setting of 130% the icons are still small looking.

Thanks,
[Nova Launcher] pkd600:
Agreed. The shadow setting with transparent status bar on Nova is flawed. Apex handles this much better. The shadow should start from the top of the status bar, not beneath it.
[Nova Launcher] krucifix85:
I swapped batteries on my SGSII and for some reason the settings got reset.

I had to re-enter my Google account details at phone startup.

I had some hidden apps in my drawer (Nova Prime and Wifi Transfer Pro) but now that my settings got reset, all my paid purchases haven't loaded. I can't re-download these paid purchases getting an error code -24. I assume this is because the apps are actually installed, but just not visible in the drawer.

Any idea how to either uninstall these paid purchases -OR- unhide 'hidden' apps. The unhide apps feature is only in Nova Prime, which I can't download for the above reason.

Thanks for any help.

edit: Nvm, I found out to rename/replace the corresponding app folders in /data/data. All sorted.
[Nova Launcher] Krunk83:
I'm experiencing a bug in the nova app drawer when I change an icon manually to an icon pack I downloaded from the internet (not an icon theme) and update/install a new app or reboot, the apps in my drawer switch back to the original icon. This is quite annoying, especially when changing them all one by one manually and then the all switch back when I update an app. I have cleared data and pixed permissions, etc. Any help? Thanks.

[Nova Launcher] Hdhntr23:
Is there ANY way to change the color of my font/text for apps INSIDE a folder?

How about adding an icon for an folder can I do that vs. changing the preview?

I know this has been beaten to DEATH but OMFG I hate how this app handles wallpapers and cropping. Just leave them alone and let them install to the size we want or give us that option please!!
[Nova Launcher] Bojcha:

[Nova Launcher] BuckMulligan:
It's actually not so bad. I have rudimentary skills at best, but I was still able to create a weather widget and a battery widget that do what I want them to do and look kinda cool.
[Nova Launcher] Hdhntr23:
Anyone?
[Nova Launcher] mrdoug:
Unfortunately, I am fairly certain all font colors are unchangeable, save for the folder label. This is, however, a pretty popular request. Maybe it'll be added in future updates?

One thought... How does Nova handle a white background with labels? I never use white / bright wallpaper, so I have no clue. (not to mention, I don't use labels)

Sent from my rooted Speak and Spell running OS X Mountain Lion.
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
There's a drop shadow on the app labels, so the text is still legible on light backgrounds. On a pure white background however, the text can be a little bit difficult to read. I don't have apps on my homescreen, and I don't use app labels, but I figured I'd test it out quickly so you could get some feedback.
[Nova Launcher] wuzdat:
Lock Homescreen....

I recently switched over to Nova from using Apex for a long time....I have noticed 1 small feature that is NOT in Nova but was easily accessible in Apex, a quick, simple way to "Lock Desktop" or "Lock Homescreen", to keep widgets or icons from being moved around, and/or keep from having that menu pop up with the "Remove, Resize, etc" options listed.

In Apex I was able to quickly "Lock" and "Unlock" my desktop on the fly, there was only a 1 or 2 button clicks to choose that option. I have found that in Nova, I have to dig around, multiple levels down into the Settings to even find where that option is, much less have a Shortcut to it.

Is there any way possible that you could, in a future update, add an Option to "Lock Homescreen" maybe as a Nova Shortcut so we can create an Icon to access it, or make it a Nova Action so we can create a Shortcut to it? I would even settle for you moving the Option to the FIRST menu in the Nova Settings. Please help! I need this option daily.....
[Nova Launcher] rurigokou:
In nova settings in desktop last item in list to use after it is activated the screen is locked automatically just touch and hold any place on the screen and an unlock dialog will appear.

Only a few find the way; some don't recognize it when they do; some don't ever want to.
[Nova Launcher] iamnotkurtcobain:
Following bug is STILL present (strange no one mentions it):

Wrong app opening! E.g. I click on tapatalk -> random app is opening, I click on CyanDelta -> random app is opening. After some swipes through the app drawer the bug is gone but randomly comes back. Nova Prime btw...

Why 130?

Why icon size don't be bigger than 130%? I want grid 5x3 and icon size over 250%. How I can do than?

Now I use a third-party widgets for big icons, but they take up memory and are slow
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
At the moment, it can't be done without Desktop Visualizer.
[Nova Launcher] Capp5050:
Not sure if you can change the sensitivity or not, but one thing you can do, assuming you don't make desktop changes very often, is to lock the desktop. Go to Nova Settings -> Desktop -> Lock Desktop.

Even if you do use this feature, it's still pretty easy to make changes. Only now you need to 'long-press' for 2-3 seconds and you'll be prompted to temporarily unlock.

Recently I noticed there appears to be no way to change the animation for entering and exiting the the app drawer. I wonder if that is a possibility for addition, or if under the hood it would be an immense amount of work? It would be great to be able to have the same animation as that used to launch / close an app. Basically, give a consistency to anything coming from the home screen (I only use one). :)

I noticed on my new LG G2 that Nova does not resize widgets appropriately. As in widgets that are designed to reflow their content.

Specifically, Dashclock's font size is different on the stock launcher vs. Nova no matter the grid size I set. Is this a bug, or a limitation that cannot be overcome?

Also, is there a way to replicate LG's knock-off in Nova? What is the setting for a double tap that would cause "sleep".

Thanks.
[Nova Launcher] renegadedj:
I noticed this morning that my dock's folder icon flyouts, when I tap a folder icon on my dock, well the flyout was constrained to HORIZONTAL. It looked really nice. But since reboot later in the morning, it went back to having the folder flyouts from my homescreen dock to be constrained to vertical. Having the option to change this would be nice, or can you already?
[Nova Launcher] thermalboyz:
Thanks for the sugguestion. I've tried disable "Sense" but it only help half. . . test it for 30 mins restarting 3 times but still have few apps slip out from drawer. I don't have any issue with APEX at all.

A Bug in Nova Launcher 2.2.3

I have seeing a bug in latest Nova Launcher(I am using NL Prime), when using "Shortcuts" organized in a folder on Homescreen, when pressing a Shortcut, the Shortcut's Folder Drawer does not close automatically after pressing a shortcut!! For e.g I have created shortcut to 3 LLama Profiles so that I can quickly change Llama profile from Homescreen. Now I click on llama folder which holds these 3 profile shortcuts. Now suppose I click on one of the profile, llama executes the profile(thats fine) but the mini-app-drawer of this folder remains open. I have to click somewhere on the Nova Homescreen for the Folder to close.
[Nova Launcher] aidfarh:
That doesn't seem like a bug. I don't think there's anywhere in the app that says folders should close after clicking on a shortcut, so you can't say the app is not behaving like it's supposed to. A program not behaving according to your preference is not considered a bug.
[Nova Launcher] power2top:
And why exactly do u think it should remain open after an icon is choosen?? Go Launcher I was using prior to Nova, closes it so you are trying to say they are also wrong!?!?. Once an action is choosen, the folder has no reason to remain open. If nova wants it that way, atleast it should have an option to close on icon press. BTW pressing Program icons in folder closes it!! Only problem/bug if those icons are created via 'Shortcuts' feature.
[Nova Launcher] aidfarh:
It's not a question of wrong or right. It's about preference. Maybe the dev intended it to be that way. Maybe not. Need to get clarification from the dev before classifying something as a bug.
[Nova Launcher] TadeoNYC:
Folders definitely behave differently after this update. If you uninstall/remove all apps in a folder an empty folder remains. Understandable if they had been created in app drawer, but these weren't.
[Nova Launcher] De-Nea:
Confirmed!

2 Feature Requests:

1. Ability to resize the Dock size. Since I have lessen the size of Dock Icons, there is lot of wasted space between dock icons and Dock Bar looks bad. Please add Dock Size option also. Large, Medium is not good. % resizing will be helpful.

2. Ability to change Current Homescreen Page Indicator style. The default, fixed, line bar style is not good so if customization via themes(like other launchers allow) will be cool.
[Nova Launcher] bladehawk:
I love being able to swipe up on icons to create different actions, is there any way we could have swipe down/left/right do other functions? It would be great to call my wife att home, on cell, or text with just one icon.
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
Right and left swipes might be out of the question... I'm not sure how a gesture like that would alter individual hotseats. A downward swipe would be great, and could increase functionality though. :thumbup:
[Nova Launcher] Tung_meister:
I'd also love to see page indicator customization as it would be great to have it kitkat style.
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
We'll get KitKat features when KitKat comes out. Kevin has never added arbitrary theme elements to the launcher... He always bases Nova on the latest version of the stock launcher. :)
[Nova Launcher] mrdoug:
I agree. I would love to see down swipe gestures.

Also, the page indicators seem like a viable option (without having any technical knowledge myself, just seeing their prevalence elsewhere). I only use one screen, but if I did use multiple, I'd like the choice. :)
