Yes…I have a lot of problems with it. The biggest is my fonts become unreadadle on all my widgets. Sometimes a reboot fixes it and other times, I will have to reboot twice. If I am in NOVA and the fonts are messed up and I change back to stock launcher, the fonts are fine. Just in NOVA. Anyone else have this issue?

Am I the only one who finds Nova really buggy? Loses home screens, loses app drawer, seems slow? I know its beta, and I know the feature set is amazing, but I can’t use it as a daily driver yet.

You guys speak very highly of this launcher. I’ll have to try it this weekend. Using GoLauncher EX now an it’s not bad.

The only spacing that’s really off, and that you can’t change, is the height of the dock. I’ve emailed him about this and he doesn’t seem too interested in offering an option to adjust it. I find short docks to be a little irritating, so I’ve switched back to the stock launcher, which, btw, works very well itself.

Don’t know about this version, but wallpaper scrolling with infinite scroll works fine for me on the previous version……..just installed AOKP M3 ROM which comes with the previous version of Nova. Also the only lag I’ve noticed was when I was using the microbe live wallpaper. Found after some Googling that some live wallpapers are not coded well and can cause this. Switched to Phase Shift and the homescreen scrolling is super smooth.

Can you make it so the app drawer scrolls vertically?

Anyone notice that wallpaper scrolling on infinite scrolling between homescreens DOESNT work?

There’s a lag when flipping through homescreens. Launcher Pro Plus on my Droid 1 didn’t do this

Change it to your liking in Nova settings. (Width margin, or desktop grid size)

I like that Kevin fixed the card stack issue on tablets. That was pretty big for me.

But, if you are going to rom, you’ve got to have a launcher that preserves the settings from one day/rom to another. Nova does it for me. Stock doesn’t live past the latest data wipe.

This time next year, I may be all over another launcher. I loved LPP+ even after it was abandoned, because it was still good. With ICS on the G-Nex and the Xoom, I need a launcher that will survive a factory reset.

I concur. I’ve been playing around with it for about half an hour and its a lot better than previously. I’m not sure If I’m going to stick with it though. I wish the market link was still on the top in the app drawer. It also feels sluggish moving from my apps to homescreen, but its nice to have the options that Nova has now. Knowing me, I’ll probably switch back in a couple days, but only time will tell.

Nova is basically the launcher that the stock launcher should have been. I’ve been using it for a while and it feels very close to a v1 at this point. I’m sure we’ll see it in the market soon.
