Nova launcher beta 13



Requirements: Nova requires Android 4.0.1 or higher. Nova does NOT run on Gingerbread

Overview: This is a normal launcher replacement, it can install alongside the stock launcher and should work on any ICS rom. However in order for the widgets-in-drawer feature to work it must be installed as a system app. Instructions below.

Features include:

- Custom grid size (default 5×4 on the Galaxy Nexus)

- User setting for auto-rotate

- Resize any widget

- All/New/Downloaded categories in App Drawer

- Widgets-in-drawer (requires install as a system app) or from system picker

- Shortcut or resizable information in Widget Drawer

- Edit App Shortcut icon and label (Supports ADW Icon Packs)

- Wallpaper scrolling options (Disabling scrolling improves performance of live wallpapers)

- Cube desktop effect

- Various other smaller tweaks/optimizations


I have more features planned and welcome feedback. Some features will be reserved for a pro version.


You can access Nova Settings by App Drawer > Menu > Nova Settings.


Permissions:

INTERNET/ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE/ACCESS_WIFI_STATE: Optional & Anonymous error/usage reporting. Download updates (Nova is not on the Market yet).

CALL_PHONE: Only used if you place a direct-dial shortcut on the homescreen. SET_WALLPAPER/SET_WALLPAPER_HINTS: Launcher/wallpaper interactions

VIBRATE: Long-press

BIND_APPWIDGET: Only get this if installed as a system app. Required for Widgets-in-drawer.

WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE: Downloading updates.


Install:

System App Requires root

This lets you have Widgets-in-drawer just like the stock launcher.

Either manually move the APK to /system or use the NovaLauncherUpdate.zip . Once installed you can update like a normal app (either in app > Check for updates or an APK from this thread).


Uninstall System App:

Manually remove NovaLauncher.apk from /system or use the attached NovaUninstall.zip


Standard App Root not required

Easier to install, but no widgets-in-drawer. Just install the NovaLauncher_beta.apk like you’d install any other APK.
