Manual rearrangement of the applications in the app drawer
In many launchers like Xperia or Galaxy there's the manual rearrangement of the applications in the app drawer. I find it very convenient. The manual arrangement also could be introduced in the folders of the app drawer.

Separate portrait and landscape grid sizes for the home screen as already available for the drawer
The Drawer App Grid has settings for both landscape and Portrait, but the Desktop only offers a single grid size, resulting in a distorted layout on any rectangular display when rotated. This is both inconvenient and inconsistent.

Glass transition effect like the one in Vire Launcher

allow Nova to backup to a folder of my choice
Nova backs up its settings to the "sdcard". On my Razr HD, that is the shortcut to the internal storage. The microsd directory is listed as "external1".
I would like to manually change the backup directory.

Implement a Gesture-based Temporary Widget System
Something somewhat possibly like, but not necessarily the same as, Shutters in action launcher: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJJynAG3jQQ&feature=player_embedded
I want to be able to use a gesture to temporarily bring up and then get rid of a widget. I really like their solution -- it would allow me to keep many more widgets much closer without having to keep as many around -- but whichever way you want to go about it, I'll appreciate. I understand that you don't want to copy them, but that doesn't mean you can't implement a system inspired by theirs.
I know overlapping widgets are already possible, so…

Make Nova more touch sensitive when scrolling
I recently gave up Nova Prime for this reason.At first i thought it was only my idea but other users also experience this and understand the difference when comparing to Holo or Apex.When i use Nova i have to make a longer distance with my finger in order to scroll to the next screen.It's like Nova is less touch sensitive.Please fix this issue because it reduces the feel of smoothness.
If you fix this problem in a future update please describe it clearly in the release notes.I want to return to Nova Prime.

Add "unread counts" to the voicemail app
I use my phone for personal & business and get a lot of phone calls. The voicemail icon doesn't always seem to show up in the notification bar and on stock Sprint GS3 launcher the voicemail app has an unread badge that seems to work. However, when running Nova Launcher the voicemail app doesn't display the badge. It would be really great if Nova either didn't supress the badge or could add badges for other common apps. Thanks.

Show new homescreen upon event (like headphones connected)
This is a new feature from the Galaxy S3 TouchWiz (MotionWiz). When I connect my headphones a new homescreen appears which is a normal screen with own widgets (music player, FM radio, etc), but it is only available, when my headphones are connected.
Some other options: show a noew screen, when I dock my phone, or I connect to a specific WiFi network, etc. Maybe it could be compatible with Tasker/Local, but it is an extra option.

Adjust Folder Icon Spacing
From the XDA thread - "Can someone explain how I can restore the folder layout to how it was prior 2.1? The icons are far too 'cramped' now..." I agree...

Ad three finger swipe gestures up/down...
...as two fingers in some apps are reserved for scrolling...
Actual smartphones are big enough to provide three finger gestures.
Would be great!
Regards!

Fix support for GoLauncher themes, etc.
Previously, Nova supported GoLauncher icons & themes, specifically this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gau.go.launcherex.theme.defaultthemethree&hl=en
Recently, either after a Nova update, or an update of the theme (I'm not sure which one), this theme no longer seems to work.
Being able to use this theme and NOT Go Launcher was a huge plus, since I much prefer using Nova...

to have option to enable/disable icon shadows.
Shadow behind icons can be awesome. Just like in touchwiz, but with option of making it on and off for performance.
