Swiping down on any icon opens up the notification bar, well it does for me at least. Not even sure if that's a nova thing or my rom. I presume it's nova.
This is a feature which before was limited to dock icons but now is available to be used on any home screen icon..
If you long press on a home screen icon a little menu pops up - choose 'edit' and you will have another menu pop up with the 'swipe action' listed - just choose an action to be launched when you swipe upwards on this icon
For example I have a folder on my home screen containing a load of bookmarked websites. Now with this swipe feature I have added the function of the following ;
If I swipe upwards on this folder it launches straight to my browsers homepage - of course I could have my home page as a bookmark in the folder but with this new swipe action enabled it is one less step to getting where I want!
You can set swipe gestures for applications and all sorts - have a play and see what you come up with!

Read about the 2.0 version and decided to reinstall nova. Suffice to say my purchase of nova prime might just be worth it afterall as I am loving nova now. Smooth and has the all the missing features now that really annoyed me previously.

I have the same problem. I am translating Nova to hebrew in our IceBulletRom. Now I can't decompile because of an error in AndroidManifest.xml
. I hope this get fixed, or there is a workaround. Sent email to developer, but from experience I am not sure he will reply.Thomas
Only NOW have I installed Nova... and I am truly ashamed of myself, I really am Can't really see myself going back to TouchWiz ever again
Let the theming begin!

Works fine for me, though to be honest I prefer to have a swipe action on my centre dock icon to open the drawer

I tried to apply GL UI3.0 Theme and the result was strange... I know that it isn't specially designed for Nova but usually I can apply GL Themes in Nova and they works just fine. Is it fixable for this one ?

:
1. Suck it up - Nova and its support is what it is.
2. Go on a hunt for a replacement. You said you "tried a few", now methodically try all the ones you can find.
3. Get an iPhone.
4. Bombard support@novalauncher.com and any other channel Nova is on with your issues with the current version.
5. Wait for the new version (https://www.androidpolice.com/new-nova-launcher-beta-immersive-search/) to see if it improves things.
6. Rant and complain in every Nova site/forum you can find.
7. Have fun! It won't fix your problems with Nova, but you'll get some pleasure out of it.
For example, you could respond to this post with a snide comment.
I have a personal saying: "You're always allowed to complain." You might be surprised to find the problem gets address and if it isn't then at least you'll feel a bit better for having complained.
2) Trying them 'all' is unlikely as I'm sure there are some OSS I'm not aware of.
3) You pee against the wind don't you..?
4) I could try that. I haven't since Nova was bought, maybe I'll have some luck.
5) Not going to happen. They are probably "niche" at best.
6) What you think I'm doing here? lol. XDA is about as big of Nova as it gets.
7) "Pleasure"? I'm not sure we are into the same thing there Mr. Furry.
- IME, being a a-hole won't get you anywhere with a developer. Not only are they only unlikely to fix anything but also unlikely to even look at anything with your name attached. It's not about satisfaction of complaining or venting, this post was genuinely to find an alternative and if the new Nova owners happen to read here maybe reach out.
It took them what 5+ years to just fix beta releases so they actually show up on the PlayStore and not just the website? Progress is being made but I'm going to try '4' with the new owners and see where that goes. -
2I'm going to stir the pot and say, Nova is an awesome launcher with less than 3rd world support. Nobody responds to bugs, feature enhancement suggestions, feedback let alone acknowledge your message.
That said, I like Nova but am tired of the things needing to be fixed not being so.
I've tried a few launchers and I eithet hate them or one or two important features are missing.
Anyone here still active have suggestions?2Nova Launcher 8.0.15 Beta is released.

Nova Launcher and KitKat
With the recent Android 4.4 (KitKat) update there have been lots of questions about what this means for Nova Launcher. I still need to do a lot more research and work before I have definitive answers for all the questions. However I can give a brief summary of what to expect.
Nova will be updated to include, as options, much of the Nexus 5 launcher's look and feel. I've included a screenshot of an unstable development version of Nova Launcher. You can see KitKat style light folders icons and background, circular page indicator, and transparent system bars (on the Nexus 5). These will be optional so if you prefer the darker Jellybean style you can keep it.
Transparent system bars will not be available to all devices. The system bars are drawn by the SystemUI component, not the launcher. KitKat introduces an API for apps such as Nova Launcher to request that the SystemUI draw these with only a light gradient background. Not all KitKat devices will support this functionality for performance reasons, and Nova will be unable to force it. Also older Android versions are unaware of this new API in KitKat and thus will not get transparent system bars. The exception is that some devices, such as the TouchWiz SGS4, had transparent system bars implemented by the manufacturer skin, and Nova is able to make use of their private APIs for this.
Google Now integration, in the exact same way that Google does so, is not possible. This includes the swipe to the left for Google Now and the "Ok, Google" hotword. The Google Experience Launcher (GEL) is not a stand alone component, but actually a bundle of Google Search, Google Now, and GEL. With current APIs, it's not possible for Nova to access Google Now in the exact same way that the GEL does. However I am looking into ways to achieve similar functionality. Quick access to Google Now is already possible by swiping up from the home button (on devices with navigation bars), or by assigning a Nova Gesture to launch Google Now. Some users have suggested placing a full screen Google Now widget on the left most page. I'll be investigating further enhancements in this area, but it's important to note that the exact Google experience is not possible for non-Google apps.
The new launcher also redesigned the app and widgets drawer. Google has removed Widgets from the App Drawer and now places them in their own drawer accessible by long-pressing in empty space. I'm looking into how a setup like this could work with Nova Launcher. it is not a straightforward change due to Nova's additional functionality such as custom drawer tabs. But it is something I can take inspiration from.
There are also a number of bug fixes and performance improvements that Google has built into the new launcher that I will be investigating. Nova supports a much wider range of android versions and devices than the Google Launcher so performance improvements often need lots of testing or modification to ensure they don't actually hurt performance on some devices.
SMS integration with Hangouts poses a problem for unread badges in Nova Launcher. Unfortunately Hangouts does not provide an API for other apps to access the unread count. I am looking into workarounds.
Some Nova Launcher Prime users have asked if I plan on charging again. Don't worry, the answer is no. Nova Launcher Prime continues to sell well, which is great as I love working on it.
I cannot provide ETAs. I will most likely be spreading some changes across multiple Nova Launcher updates to get them out to users sooner.
I don't have any beta ready for users just yet, but when I do you can help test by joining the beta community at https://plus.google.com/communities/103449253667195874971 and then opt-in for the Nova beta at https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.teslacoilsw.launcher/join and TeslaUnread https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.teslacoilsw.notifier/join . When a beta is ready you will see it as an update in the Play Store. Please note that betas are early releases and are not fully tested yet, if you are uncomfortable with this then please wait until the final release as it will be heavily tested.
