I'm a regular nice launcher user but it doesn't seem to agree with the note 10. During use it will crash, phone had s pop-up asking me to uninstall it. Anyone else using nice launcher (successful or otherwise)?
Obvious follow-up question, anyone using a launcher replacement that is stable?
i use nova launcher and its pretty stable
Nova beta has issues with the Note 10.

What about stable version of Nova - how well does it work?
I run stable version and it works as good as on any other phone.

No issues so far.
I replaced the beta with the last stable release and all is well.
I use the stablle version, it just works like it should.

It's laggy? It's so much better than 2.68 on the Note!
Its better than the stable version on the NOTE but lags once in a while in transition.

Not for me.
On the other hand some translations are missing with the latest Beta.

For me it lags irritating much when just having three screens with Accuweather, Samsung Digitalclock, Go Calendar and Go Message Widget and some app shortcuts, changed transitions to standard and behaviour to smooth but still way to laggy for me
Using the latest apk on my GNote. Not very smooth. ADW EX actually works much better in terms of smoothness and responsiveness.
Works fine here! No lags at all. But what is HD on this version? Everything is the same as it was.
I installed the .apk from the first post of this topic.
Actually, there is no lag. I had my Note set on a custom low power setting. Disabled that and now this launcher is running smooth as butter.

Lags just like 2.68 for me...
What kernel are you using?
I find it strange that touch wiz never lags but Go does...
Both seem to be hardware accelerated...
Optimisations i guess..

Did you try Apex Launcher? It is very similar to Nova Launcher but has more features.
What do you are looking for in Launchers? Performance? Functionality?

Yes!
Zeam Launcher -> Better in performance and has minimum features;
Regina Launcher -> I used few times, nothing to say.
Go Launcher -> It was a good launcher and has many features. After many updates, this launcher was laggy in my phone (Defy MB525 and Xperia U).
I was using Nova before I turned to Apex this week.
Both are similar and work well, but Apex has more functions like widget override in desktop which I find useful.
Hello Geeks!
I'm sure a lot of you have Nova Launcher on your N4s, and if you're like me; you can't wait to get your hands on 4.4 KitKat.
Does anybody out there know if TeslaCoil will have to release a newer version of Nova optimized for 4.4 or will it already be compatible as soon as 4.4 gets rolled out to our devices? I'd rather wait for it to be optimized rather than get 4.4 and be Nova-less for a week or 2.
In addition: my friend Tony just ordered the Nexus 5. will Nova Launcher be compatible with his device right out of the box?
Anybody with info please lemme know. I'm fine with putting 4.4 off for a few weeks until I know FOR SURE that I can have Nova Launcher on top of the new tasty OS.
I don't know the answer however, one thing that sucks for Nova Launcher is that the Google Experience launcher is not open source. That means Nova can't keep that stock launcher look on 4.4.

Nova is based on the AOSP launcher so I don't think that will be helpful. There is still a AOSP launcher in the KitKat code but I don't know if they are maintaining it anymore.

Uhhh because the stock launcher is extremely uncustomizable? Nova can be very simple and look almost exactly like a stock launcher, but the amount of options it has are immense. I'm currently using the Google experience launcher and I really miss nova. Sticking with it for now though.

I see what your saying, I love the gestures and the nova actions, but the Nexus will be my first phone that is already stock. I think I will try stock before I use nova.

More customization than stock launcher like the static google search in <4.3, # of rows/columns, icon packs, etc.
Nova is based off AOSP Launcher anyways. So you're practically getting the stock launcher + added goodies. Of course this will be different with 4.4 in terms of the Google Now but I'm sure Nova will implement that someway.
Plus you can add gestures. Like if I swipe up on the phone icon I have it set up to direct dial my gf. Or a swipe up on home page opens app drawer. And you can backup your setup so if you flash Roms you can have your home screen set back up in seconds
Nova > stock launcher

When I get mine I'll probably try the same. Only thing is icons... That's all I really want to change.

I think it will be a little more difficult for custom launchers on 4.4 because of the integration of the launcher and Google now.
I don't see how they could integrate Google now into the left swipe or the "ok Google"command working from all home screens. This link shows my reasoning.

Actually that's one of the reasons why I use custom launchers: To get rid of Google Search, Google Now, and "always on" voice commands.
I don't need these anyway and as a bonus get longer battery life (by completely disabling Google Search).

I would happily use the 4.4 launcher if you could remove the persistent search bar, which does nothing but get in the way. Its seems utterly pointless given that you can open search a number of other ways almost instantly.

If you say "Ok Google" while on the home screen, does it launch the voice search like it does on the stock kitkat launcher ?

Anyone change the stock launcher? I had the Note 4 and the launcher would auto organize apps in the drawer and you could continuous scroll. Anyone able to figure that out at all?
Thanks!
I loathe TW, so I opted for Themer.
It's a bit buggy on the N5 though, and often crashes.

Personally, I dont understand why you would want to mess with Betas which is what these updates are. My Phone works awesome with Oreo and Nova Prime.

i am using pie for a week. there is no issues at all. i feel battery slightly better than oreo. but bluetooth music consumes a lot.
i do not have any problems so far.

I would call less than great battery life on a 5000mah battery a big problem. I'm getting 3 to 4 DAYS of Battery life on Oreo. I'm staying on Oreo for now. If you guys think that Huawei has perfected their version of Pie with their updated EMIU 9. .... you're wrong. They haven't even rolled out the Pie update to my part of world yet. And I live in Los Angeles. Every early release of any OS is always buggy in some way.

I have just got this phone from 2nd but battery on emui 9.1 is not as good as I imaged. SOT only 5h30 from 100% to 5%> My current firmware is 9.1.0.338.
Should I rollback to emui 8.0 for better battery?
