[Q] Nova Launcher - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I'm experiencing a little bug on Nova launcher on my HTC One, since installing it yesterday when I press the back button to close an app it shows the Sense app draw rather than the Nova home screen....I've used Nova before on other devices and have never seen this before.
Is there anyone else that uses Nova launcher and is having the same issue and possible have a fix etc? I have searched for the issue and other people on XDA have had the same issue, but thread has not been updated in last 6 months.
Thanks

I use the Nova Launcher on my ONE and don´t get this error. Maybe because i have frozen the Sense Launcher with Titanium.

I'm currently not rooted, but I hope this is a simple fix as I don't want to root just to use another launcher, not saying rooting is pants or anything I just don't want too.

You can force stop the launcher for the Sense one. That is like freezing it

Home replacement

I use SPB Shell as my home replacement. My problem is I cant set the stock home app as default. When I hit the home button it always goes to SPB Shell even when I have the stock home app set to default and have cleared SPB Shell as the default. I use the Home switcher app from the market and set the stock app as the default. When I clear the default on SPB Shell and hit the home button the stock home app doesnt even show up as an option. Is anyone else having this issue and does any one know of a fix?
The same thing happened for me with launcherpro to go back to stock i had to uninstall LP. I actually like the stock launcher better for the first time ever than LP.
It may be just me, but my screen looks much more vibrant when using SPB Shell. The colors actually look sharper. I have shown it to others and they think the same also.

Did you just abandon Launcher Pro all together or did you figure out a way to fix it?
What about the home switcher app in the market.

What I don't get is why install a home replacement of you don't intend on replacing the home?

First off for what SPB Shell 3D costs of course I'm going to install it, for principal if nothing else. I do however really like it. Secondly I want the option and ability to switch between home replacements if I want to.
has anyone using other launchers like launcher pro go launcher or adw, tried to freeze the stock launcher. i know that most roms come with a market launcher already loaded and therefore there is no stock launcher.
So any ideas if running a market launcher, that freezing the stock launcher would be ok or not
any ideas
There is an app called Homesmack that fixes the issue with the launcher defaults.

I tried it but it still didnt work, but I do like the app better than the home switcher app I was using so I'm gonna keep it. Thanks for the heads up.

Noo, it's not just you. I took the plunge and bought it. It is MUCH smoother, faster in general (IMO), and the colors look GREAT
Glad im not the only one on here to think so.

Nova Launcher on Xoom w/ ICS?

Now that ICS has come to the Xoom, has anyone tried installing Nova Launcher on it? Any issues to be aware of before trying it?
I really like it on my GNex and want to use it for both devices, if possible.

I think you're kinda wrong, at least for Nova. If you look in the settings for Nova, there are settings for a Dock. And when shown on other devices (Galaxy Nexus from what I've seen) there is a dock.
their is a dock just play round with it, will appear

I think what he meant was, that there was no dock on the xoom.

Can you be more descriptive? Have you gotten the dock to show on the Xoom?
Beta 13
Home screen transition animations => stack
Starts messing up the ability to use icons on the screen... clicking on icons makes the launcher think you are trying to turn pages...
"cube" works well...
Great launcher... looking forward to tablet specific and "pro" options...
Didn't work for me!!(nova)
I got it to work but it wants to push my wallpaper down about 1/4 of the screen
Try apex launcher....
Works awesome

I had a few minor problems with mine when I tried on cm9 it was like the apps became part of the background and would not move but I deleted and re installed without an issue. I prefer the stock cm9 just fine I only run it at 1.2 compared to the usual 1.5 its so smooth.

[Q] Homepage app display to big, can i make smaller?

Anyone know if you can make the middle (2nd) homepage with the apps on etc. a bit smaller than the default big ones on a 4x4 display.. My previous phone;s Galaxy S2 and Nexus all had a 5x4 display for the app icons and i really don't like the massive gaps between all the app icons.
Can't see anything in the options to do this...
Is it possible?
Thanks
no replies????
You will need to use a 3rd party launcher like Apex or Nova for that. Not possible on the stock launcher.
4x5 is option in Stock...
Not enough for Stock?.....

Yes 5 x 4 in the app pages but i am talking about the 2nd homepage where it is 4 x 4... why cant the home page be 5 x 4 also... seems to be the only bad bit of design i have found with the phone...

Cant use anything that involves rooting the phone as I use banking apps and they do not work when a phone is rooted.
OK, I see nova is an app.. I will look into it. Thanks

I use UK Banks. LloydsTSB and Barclays banking apps and Barclays PingIT. I have only had my HTC for 4 days... dont know anything about rooting it yet.. Had a Gnex before and when i rooted that, none of the banking apps would work as they could see it had been rooted and considered it a security problem
Have Nova now and it is good, just a shame i lose the direct screen rotate widget/icon that the HTC One comes with but Nova does not recognise.. found that pretty useful and i find screen rotation very annoying when i dont want it to rotate but it does and it is at a slight angle!!
I guess UK Banks are more secure good thing. I use multiple banking apps to pay bills transfer funds, etc. never had any security issues. As for rooting, its a whole new world for your phone. Most important thing is to read,read. And read the developers instructions before attempting to root. You could brick your phone if your not careful. Glad you found Nova useful. Good luck if you decide to root your ONE. Remember read!!!!

[Q] HTC One: TrickDroid DeSense and shortcuts on lockscreen

Hey guys
Is there any chance to manage the shortcut-icons on the HTC One with TrickDroid-Rom with DeSense-option?
I am using the sense-lockscreen and nova-launcher and so Ive removed the stock launcher during installation. Unfortunatly there are no shortcuts shown on the HTC lockscreen and it seems there is no way to add/edit them.
Is there any third party app to do this or will this come in future release of TrickDroid?
Ive already tried an alternative Lockscreen (WidgetLocker), but the activation lag everytime was a little annoying - I would like to stay with the stock lockscreen.
Any chance?
Thank you,
Frank

Why don't you reinstall td don't desence and put nova on that might work

Yeah, I had this idea already in my mind.
But due to the fact I am not using the sense launcher at all, which is draining battery and performance, I would not like to waste resources for this.
Hope there is another way to do this. The lockscreen must have stored the shortcut information somewhere, I am for sure
If you change the launcher and clear cache on the HTC launcher after switching to nova, the HTC launcher won't be consuming ram since it will not activate unless you change back to it.

If it works for you that's cool.
There used to be downsides to using 3rd party launchers. I ran stock launchers predominantly on my phones till about 4.2 (was on N4 at the time). Nowadays, I feel as though if you can have endless customizability with zero performance or battery hit, with flawless stability why not?
