I had to study his pics for like 20 min to finally see what he's talking about. The top row of icons are not tilted the same as the bottom row. I just turned off infinite scroll on mine to try to recreate it but mine is working as it should.
[Nova Launcher] simon_lefisch:
Ahh I see it now. Thank you for the more detailed explanation.

Unfortunately after trying it multiple times I cannot reproduce that bug. I've scrolled to the left multiples times and back to the right and all icons tilt the same for me.

Ok, I have an idea for a feature.. If launcher wants to be more integrated with google search, there should be one home screen page only for google now.. Something like in GEL but better :) And screen when "Okay Google" hotword is triggered.. Because now Nova redirects you to search app and not search directly from home screen
[Nova Launcher] atlharp:
Fantastic update. The only launcher for me since ICS!
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
The Google Now page is a proprietary feature, meaning there's no code for developers to integrate into their launchers. As for the "Ok Google" feature... You can enable it to trigger from any app, any time, as long as the screen is on. It's now a system-wide function, and not dependent on a launcher.
[Nova Launcher] mrdoug:
I was very excited for that change. I hope Kevin didn't spend a lot of time integrating the google now from the homescreen into Nova. Though, there will probably be some who only want it to function from home, I guess.

Hello, what happen about unread notifications bugs since Kit Kat ?
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
Unread count works perfectly here. I'm running 4.4.4. What device are you on, that it's causing you problems?
[Nova Launcher] eddymjj:
I use Xperia Z1 Compact. SMS counted show wrong number. It show only 1 SMS per contact. When I received more 1 message of the same contact it show only 1, not 2, 3, ect...

Same bug on the Xperia Z too.

I'm on 4.4.4. to.
[Nova Launcher] simon_lefisch:
Been that way for some time. I think its supposed to do that. Why show a higher number for the same contact? Once you go into the app to see the message, you'll see that there are multiple texts. Just seems pointless.
[Nova Launcher] eddymjj:
Before the last update of TeslaUnread if I received for exemple 2 sms from the same contact I've got 2 notifications not only 1..

If you take a look on play store you can see other user with the same problem.
[Nova Launcher] simon_lefisch:
Hmm......I don't recall that at all [emoji53] wonder what changed if that's the case.
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
You're right... There are going to be done people who only want that function on the homescreen. I didn't even know about the "hidden" functionality until last week, and for me, it actually makes the "Ok Google" function relevant.
[Nova Launcher] happiness4u:
Didn't notice this 'til someone posted it. Funny thing is he's right. :D When reaching the left-most part (end scrolls) it really happened, not the the same effect on the other end. Can be quickly rectified by restarting Nova though. :)

In the app drawer on a WQXGA device (1600x2560, galaxy tab pro), Nova Launcher cuts off all under lengths of letters - y, g, etc. This happens both on stock as well as CM 11 and also the grid size doesn't seem to matter. See below.

Oh sorry, I forgot on this: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=54187221&postcount=13936

Thanks to cs_sux
[Nova Launcher] cs_sux:
Yes there is such option. Settings - Drawer - Label Icons
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
As far as I know, there's no way to disable the app drawer haptic feedback. There's also no tap to wake feature. Tap to wake is usually a kernel level intent.
[Nova Launcher] JRJ442:
You can use the app Screen Off and Lock https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.katecca.screenofflock and assign it as a double tap gesture for that. Some custom ROMs that have Knock On/Off enabled, have shortcuts built in for screen off that can be assigned as a double tap gesture without using that app. But its not specifically built into Nova.
[Nova Launcher] marcran75:
The option to disable the haptic feedback for app button would be in your device settings. Nova does not control haptic feedback.
[Nova Launcher] hello_world.c:
In CM, and potentially AOSP, there is a setting under Settings - Sound - System: "Vibrate on Touch". If you disable that, it will turn it off for the app drawer button.

For the other options, it too depends on your ROM. If you are on AOSP or perhaps CM, install and look for it in GravityBox which is a module for the Xposed framework. There is an installer for the Xposed framework in play store.
[Nova Launcher] 80s Baby:
What icon pack is that?
[Nova Launcher] peterbonge:
I can confirm this. I'm also using the Moonshine icon pack and the calendar icon updates in the app drawer, but not on the home screen (in a folder). I have to restart Nova to get it updated.
[Nova Launcher] c3k:

stretching widgets

Can anyone help me find this feature?

Nova launcher by default stretches all widgets to the maximum size of the space on the screen.

This makes multiple widgets very close together and looks too tight.

But on ADW launcher, there is a simple checkbox that decreases the size of each widget and adds margin to create space and make everything not look so squished!

Can anyone tell me how to make this change with nova launcher??

PS My favorite feature of this launcher is that you can put widgets in the bottom dock!!
[Nova Launcher] deejayburnout:
If you tap and hold the widget, you can enable and disable padding as required.
[Nova Launcher] Funky-kun:
Can anyone reproduce this bug?

http://youtu.be/onrTab5fwyI
[Nova Launcher] simon_lefisch:
Can you describe it? Not really sure what I should look for [emoji52]
[Nova Launcher] Funky-kun:
When scrolling to the right, the widget abruptly appears. As shown, this does not happen when scrolling to the other side, probably because of infinite scroll. This happens with other widgets too.
[Nova Launcher] AssassinGEO:
This. This happens when going to drawer and back to home. Scrolling to any side makes everything disappear.

Also,strange thing which has been happening always on my S3 with Android 4.3. When touching the screen in drawer,there's some kind of lag in latency and then icons immediately appear in the side my finger is. Not smooth experience and none of these bugs happening with apex launcher.
[Nova Launcher] Funky-kun:
The lag when scrolling sideways is intended behaviour, and it was not present in older versions. Before, the screen would start scrolling after a certain distance your finger has moved. Now the screen does start scrolling on that distance, but accounts for it, resulting in tis jump.
[Nova Launcher] AssassinGEO:
This isn't happening on CM11,which is strange. And is it really any good? I'm on apex as for now and I like when there's no jump,feels smoother and steadier.
[Nova Launcher] supermaxkato:
still different....

Thanks for pointing that feature out deejayburnout.

But it only has a very small effect.

See comparisons below of adw launcher and nova widget sizes.

And this is with padding enabled, so the nova widget is as small as it can get (but still much larger than adw launcher).

Notice the empty space for the widgets in adw launcher and the "auto stretch widget" menu feature.

Is there any way to reduce nova widgets to this much smaller size besides the padding feature?

.
[Nova Launcher] twowheeler:
This happens to me too! Makes the launcher feel a lot less fluid. Ram isn't the issue (nexus 4). And it isn't a "normal" redraw where the entire screen would be redrawn. The homescreen is perfect fine, only the one's you swipe to redraw now and then
[Nova Launcher] simon_lefisch:
Try a different scrolling animation. I use the zoom fade.
[Nova Launcher] fcasoli:
Old problem,

I do not like haptic feedback,

in my Note 3 (Android 4.4.2) if I tap on an icon (in home), for long time, I do not have vibration effect,

with the same setting of Nova and device, I have a short haptic feedback in mi Note 3 Neo (Android 4.3).

I restored the Nova backup of the Note 3 on the Note 3 Neo and the problem persists.

I know there is not the option to disable haptic feedback in Nova, but I do not understand the reason I have vibration in one device and not in the other???

Thanks

Hello All,

I am using Nova launcher on Galaxy S3 4.3 Neat ROM. I have a query regarding the status bar gradient. On the screen shots I saw on Playstore and many other screenshots here, there is a slight gradient behind transparent status bar making it look awesome. But on my S3, there is no gradient whatsoever. It's completely transparent. If I use shadow option, the gradient is too much. It is too big and too dark. Can someone please help me understand this anomaly??
[Nova Launcher] //.dax:
Normally, gradient is available 4.4+ from Nova Settings, but you can enable it with Xposed module tinted status bar

Example: (4.1 AOKP)

[Nova Launcher] Rangs641:
Thanks. I tried that module and I didnt like it. Lots of flaws in it. Big one is when I lock and unlock the screen the gradient is gone. maybe because of conflicts caused by wanam. Anyway, I wish there was any other way. Like modifying the width of shadow option in Nova. That would do the trick.

[Nova Launcher] niteh@wk:
No matter how many other launchers I have tried, including the glossy 3D launchers such as Next I always come back to Nova. So versatile, easy to use without all the extra useless gimmicks. The added no padding on widgets is awesome. Though the search bar could be expanded to fill up the extra spacing on the side. The only small flaw I find with Nova.

I will have to agree with your observation. However, I am not sure who will be responsible to fix that.
[Nova Launcher] dakaray:
this is the best launcher for me, do you guys have any themes for this launcher?
[Nova Launcher] vyp54:
I think it's CM's fault that they don't have any "default" option which would Nova use for it's own setting. However, I found a workaround using Xposed module called "Xposed Additions". With it you can bypass the settings from CM and set buttons to do your bidding. You can set either long press home there or in Nova, both will work.
[Nova Launcher] hawkwind212:
I think tasker can do the same thing too. I never use xpose module before, even though I have an app call unicon, it requires xpose module in order for it to run.

The Widgetsoid toggle takes you into the settings menu, where you can switch GPS on and off, at least that's the way the free version works. I believe the paid version may give a direct toggle option. :)

Anybody know if I can manually move NovaLauncher to my system if I installed and set up the regular apk version? I spent time setting it all up and do not want to have to redo it.

I would use Root Explorer to copy it from the data folder and move it to my system/app folder giving it the correct permissions. Would I need to rename it also to NovaLauncher.apk when I move it from the data folder to the system/app folder?
[Nova Launcher] pascanu:
AFAIK direct GPS toggle isn't possible anymore. (if Tasker can't do it, nothing can)
[Nova Launcher] belair56:
Yes that would work. No you do not need to rename and move not copy. If you have titanium backup back it up before move, then after you move, reset permissions and reboot restore just data.

One bug I did notice with Beautiful Widgets. There is a clock skin called Ice Cream Sandwich, which I was using with the stock launcher. When running Nova Launcher that clock skin disappears, not even an option to download. Strange.

Other then that, terrific launcher!!
