Not on a ROM stock 4.0.2 CDMA Galaxy Nexus. Still locked and unrooted. Maybe cause I was using an old USB cord from a few phones ago? Just trying to figure out if I should bring back to Verizon.

Please help, out of the blue, "System Settings" disapears off the context menu on the main home screen in the upper right hand corner. Very annoying, not sure what I did to lose this.

I did have to exchange my prime for a new one, and I did a Titanium restore, also Nova is installed in /system/app ... But this was working great on my previous prime. Any ideas?

Running on a Transformer Prime TF201. Also running on a Galaxy Nexus, and Settings appears on this menu too. Like I said it just vanished, did multiple reboots, restored data, nothing...

[Nova Launcher] kwezi:
Looks beautiful will test it on an ICS device
[Nova Launcher] cure25:
dude that launcher is based on ics launcher so its similar as nova launcher and it will work on all mdpi and hdpi devices.dont know about ldpi but its currently under development.

good thing about it is that it will even work on gingerbread rom which androidmarketuser was asking for
[Nova Launcher] Androidmarketuser:
Yes thank you :)

Sorry that I wasn't a little bit hard to understand...

I just wanted a launcher similar to Nova (ICS style) which works for Gingerbread...

I'll try out your suggestion.

I've found some alternatives too: GoLauncher with ICS theme or TeamSyndicate's ICS Launcher...

Thanks for your answers:)

Hi all,

I want make statusbar transparent. Do somebody know if Nova have this setting. I cant faind this. Thx
[Nova Launcher] Aztecbandit:
Ummm.. yeah... no. I'm pretty sure launchers only have the option(and power) to hide the status bar not modify it.
[Nova Launcher] Aztecbandit:
Unrelated note...I love Nova, but for the life of me I can't get the Widgets to work and ive tried everything I've seen in here. Anyone wanna tell me what permissions they have set? Otherwise so much faster than Trebuchet launcher.

Restarting the launcher seems to "fix" it for a while. Ideas?
[Nova Launcher] richsale:
I was having the same problem so I downloaded and installed it right from my phone, forget your computer.

[Suggestion]

Why dont make also this launcher compatible with GoLauncher theme? 'Cause they're a lot and most of all FREE
[Nova Launcher] mhwarfield:
You say "out of the blue" but then you also say you did a restore. How old was the backup you restored? Are you sure you are on the latest NovaLauncher? Reason I ask is that I remember this problem as plagueing me with some of the early betas but got fixed several clicks ago.

Go to Nova Settings and check the version under NOVA and "Check for updates".

[Suggestion]

Is it possible to be able to add more than 7 home screens???

Seven is not enough to me :)
[Nova Launcher] czonin:
Anyone hear any news on an update?
[Nova Launcher] jcpq:
To install the first time, what should I use?

zip or apk?
[Nova Launcher] mhwarfield:
Uh... Yes?

Honestly, either method works. You can flash the zip or you can install the apk as a system app either by using adb to remount and install directly to /system/app or install as an app and use Titanuim Backup Pro to install it as a system app. All methods are equally valid and equally effective. Once installed, be sure to go to Nova Settings and check for updates to make sure you have the latest installed. After that, all I've done is do a check for updates and not had to mess with the manual side-load install process at all.

Yeah, I keep thinking the same thing myself but I'm an insane power user. I have 7 screens now and 6 of them are populated and it won't be long before I have that one tasked to some functionality or another.

To give you an idea of just HOW insane I am... My Fedora 15 workstation runs the Enlightenment 16 window manager because, as old as it is, it's the only one that decently supports BOTH "rooms style" virtual desktops AND "viewport style" virtual desktops. My desktop is basically 6 virtual desktops (conceptually planes along a Z-axis) that are 4 screens (viewports) wide and 3 screens high and I organize all my work by what desktop and viewport coordinates the work screens are place in 3 space. Rasterman got it right with 16. Even 17 isn't quite as good (though I haven't played with it as much). Metacity blows goats and don't get my started on Unity or Gnome3.

Yeah, seven little screens is a bit cramped. But better than what I've had in the past on smartphones, so I can't really complain. Compared to my old "Palm Treo" these babies are wonderous. We've gotten so spoiled so fast it's hard to believe.

Oh, and, BTW, be sure to go to the link on the first post to the vote section to either submit this suggestion, if it's not there, or vote for it, if it is there. That's how you get it done.
[Nova Launcher] Tim_Grundy:

[Nova Launcher] mrpopgun:
Under Gingerbread ROM's, I was able to choose 'Folder' when putting a shortcut on the desktop and then choose "My Stations' from Pandora. Quick easy way to launch a station without launching the Pandora app.

I don't see this under THS or Doc's Master ROM (Nova launcher) so I'm not sure if it is because a) ICS does away with this b) Pandora ditched this feature or c) the launchers don't nativley support this.

Any ideas? Is this something can can be setup under Nova?

Hey under behavior settings, there is a home button action. Is there any possible way to include the ICS "recent apps" as one of the action? Long pressing the home button is a bit cumbersome.

#justasking , hope you can add it in. (: I'm sure there are people out there who agrees with me no? :p
[Nova Launcher] skiddingus:
First I want to say thanks for a great app. I'm looking forward to an official release in the market. I will definitely buy it.

I am hoping that one of the updates includes a vertical scroll for the apps like Launcher Pro used to have. I hate swiping screen by screen through all the apps when one quick flick should do the job.

Keep up the great work.
[Nova Launcher] ajamils:
Awesome launcher. Started using it on Transformer Prime yesterday and really like it but it has a major issue when setting wallpapers. Depending on the option selected for wallpaper scroll, it either gets zoomed and cropped or only a part of it shows up on the bottom of the screen. This does not happen with stock launcher.
[Nova Launcher] tsonev7:
What's the weather/clock widget on the screenshots ?
[Nova Launcher] Tzarski:
If you install the apk some features of the launcher won't work for you. You will not be able to chose widgets from the app drawer for example.

If you chose to have the fully functional launcher you have to use the ZIP file.

Boot in to recovery and install the zip file from there without unzip it before.
[Nova Launcher] Vilcek:
Lock pattern major issue

Hi,

first of all this is a great launcher...Keeping stock look but if great added functionalities. I am using it with my Galaxy Nexus.

I know it is still in beta, but I have one major issue.

Using any kind of screen lock (pattern is what I use) does not work as expected.

For example:

When I turn off the screen in applications list on my GN, after waiting lets say 1 minute I turn if on again and the screen with applications is still there, you can make a call,send message, run application.

But when you hit home button it will show the unlock pattern.

For me this is a major security issue.

Has somebody else also this problem?

Thx for reply
[Nova Launcher] appandart:
Great app. Nice work.
[Nova Launcher] Onraad:
Vilcek I don't have that problem, lockscreen working as it should for me.

Swipe gestures for homescreen would make this browser so much better than it already is now! Really like the launcher as it is now but with gestures it would be perfect! :-)
[Nova Launcher] Vilcek:
Well today I reinstalled Nova launcher and still it is doing the same. On stock launcher no issues with screen lock..Damm it makes me crazy sometimes :)
[Nova Launcher] Razer(x):
what about the possibility to hide apps in drawer?
[Nova Launcher] DHO:
Love the launcher. Just discovered your other apps. Very nice work

Would love to see looping.
[Nova Launcher] biz79:
Awesome launcher! However, I'm not able to get rid of the search bar widget and think it may be a bug.

Settings:

Screen Orientation - Auto rotate

Quick Search Bar - Never

I long press the search widget and remove it from the screen. However, when i turn to landscape on my homescreen, it returns. I've tried rebooting with these settings but it still exhibits this behavior. Turning back on the Quick Search bar removes the widget but the original search bar will be back again.

Not sure if it's just my phone or not. Other than that, it's great!

Edit: I'm rooted and installed .zip via cwm - THanks!
[Nova Launcher] snppr22:
Trying it out.
[Nova Launcher] fjcb09:
Great work ppl let see how this look thanks
[Nova Launcher] Dubbin1:
The wallpaper going off center problem is kind of still happening. About 5 times now it went off center but corrected its self after a bit.

Edit: I noticed when it goes off center if I hit the app drawer button it will go back to center.
[Nova Launcher] snppr22:
When I reboot I lose my top row of apps. It is replaced with the search bar widget. Same thing happens when I edit the launcher setting and exit certain apps. I really like what you guys have does, I love widget locker. Hopefully you can get this fixed quickly. (I have read through so recent posts and haven't seen anything about this.)
[Nova Launcher] GirLuvsDroid:
This launcher is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for the phenomenal work!
[Nova Launcher] tbcpn:
Same here, but search bar widget only shows the frame--no text.

Aside from the odd development bug, great mod. 'Tis appreciated.
[Nova Launcher] ikon8:
Same here, I get the rectangle frame after a reboot even after I removed the quick search bar and put apps there instead.
[Nova Launcher] shanimal92:
IS there anyway to put the menu button down on the dock? i installed MoDaCo's soft button mod so theres always menu buttons down there but when i installed Nova the search button stayed, but the menu button is now in the drawer.:(
[Nova Launcher] leemarkin:
is it possible to make the four dock icons grid like other on screen icons?
[Nova Launcher] Techno Droid:
make it so that we could disable the annoying search widget like cm9! also im not a big fan of the cube effect. but i havent flashed yet... im about to in a few. also what i notice is that ics launchers dont have is the scrolling bounce transition between homescreens. i would love to see this feature implemented into the launcher. but like i said, havent flashed it yet. i will report back. thanks for your work in advance;)
[Nova Launcher] puma9S:
great work :)

i love it!

but one question :D

is there a way to delete homescreens and jump from third screen in the first, like in go launcher ex?

thank youu :)
[Nova Launcher] KBanause:
You should take a closer look in the Nova Launcher's settings. You can turn off the "cube" effect ('Scroll Effect' under 'Desktop').

The permanent Google Search bar can be deactivated using 'Quick Search Bar'

;)
[Nova Launcher] arkabeoeht:
Great... but one issue

OK, so I love the launcher right now but I am having one *pretty major* issue. When I go to change the icon from either a file or from gallery I end up with a REALLY SMALL icon. I don't have an ADW icon pack to try that yet but all of my icons are just .png files on my sd card. It doesn't matter how I crop the images it still ends up being really small. I have used these with go launcher ex so I know the images are good.

Search bar keeps reinserting itself on the home screen every time I open an app or reboot. Any fixes in the works?
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
Guys, try moving it to another screen. Then pick it back up and remove it. I had the same issue, and for some reason, moving it off of the main screen and then removing it, worked for me. Now it's gone, and all is right with the world. :)

[Nova Launcher] gqgk:
i believe it has to do with screen dpi combined with the ics launcher... I could be very wrong, but that's the first thing that comes to my mind. Used some ADW packs and they work great.
[Nova Launcher] Paleogirl2003:
Here is a screenshot of the different icon behavior I am seeing - I could not find a common denominator either, I could go through the same actions twice in a row and end up with two different icons, see attached screenshot

Also seeing the wallpaper moving (scrolling disabled), though it does seem to correct itself after a bit

From post 1:
[Nova Launcher] haleybob1228:

Flashed AOKP build21 on Saturday night and have had NO issues with Nova. Recognized Nova was installed and everything. Asked me which launcher to use Stock/Nova the first time I hit the home button.

Going to flash the version with the glass plate folder mod tonight...

I assume you tried to reflash Nova? Or use the uninstall.zip then reinstall...

[Nova Launcher] sabbotage:
Why would you need a modded folder version when you can change folder icons in nova launcher already? I'm confused why all of these modded versions are floating around with modded folder icons when changing folder icons is a feature built in.
[Nova Launcher] alphanu22:
there is a difference from changing the Folder Icon to a normal icon then to modding the Folder Icon.
[Nova Launcher] bigwavedave25:
the "modded" folder icons allow you to have a different background other than the stock black hole. if you use Nova's built in ability to change the folder icon, you loose the image(s) overlay of the apps contained in that folder. the modded folders still allow you to see the preview of what apps are inside.
[Nova Launcher] alphanu22:
modded
[Nova Launcher] sabbotage:
Ahhhh OK I see now. My bad :)

On the touchpad in landscape mode, the labels don't show up. I believe this has been mentioned in the past, has anyone figured a workaround?

For some reason, Nova messes up my wallpaper. I have tried different "Scroll" settings but nothing seem to fix it (it does make some improvement). See the attached pictures for the comparison between Stock and Nova, using the same wallpaper (I use picSpeed to set them so that there is no cropping).

I have the same problem on my Prime. It's like the stock launcher is squeezing the picture. btw: Same thing happens with live wallpapers.
