I use apex. I like the cube transitions. It is smooth although the drawer can be laggy opening.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vyszard:
I really like to use another launcher so I can have more than 5 home screens and landscape mode in home screen. My favorite is Apex so far, but there's a very noticeable lags in transition from portrait to landscape mode in home screen it almost unusable. I turn it off at the moment until I find a better one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] resynx:
Trying out Holo Launcher HD now, coming from Apex. It's pretty quick and smooth.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Col. Sanders:
+1 on Nova, JB support and the paid version gets better.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blaze2k:
Coming from Apex on ICS must say it's not as smooth as NOVA on JB

so +1 NOVA
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jordanishere:
The stock launcher for jellybean is smoother than nova.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dannejanne:
Nova is much smoother than Apex but only in portrait mode. I use my phone as a tablet and Nova is uber choppy in landscape mode. Apex much much smoother to use in landscape mode.

They had release a buggy version a week ago but they fix immidiately.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crixley:
Nova is ultra smooth lately. Never notice any lag at all
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pierceye:
Stock for me. I've tried everything but Nova, including TSF Shell and SPB Mobile, and while they do add some nifty features and very cool eye candy none of them seem as smooth as stock. They also seem a lot clumsier to me as well. Adding bling instead of functionality.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Danzanzio:
I really like Go Launcher Ex because of the vertical scrolling app drawer and team carbon (I love their work) makes a bunch of themes for go launcher. And it truthfully hasn't had any lag that I notice.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pheno.menon:
Nova for sure. It has the fastest transitions/animations. Much faster than stock

Have to say I had been a big fan of Apex but when Nova Prime went on sale for 25p as part of the big Google Play sale I couldn't pass it up. Best 25p I've spent in a while!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] grey.ghost:
I've been on go launcher forever, currently trying apex based on the replies in this thread. It's really nice, I already miss the gestures from the dock, and apex just isn't nearly as smooth, but overall it is certainly a real contender. I might stick with it for a while.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jjhrrsn:
Nova... 25 cents, passed up the gumball and tried it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msavic6:
Decided to try nova prime for $0.25 and I don't feeel its any better then stock. Although I havent had time to fully customize it yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Nova prime because of gestures
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] InfDaMarvel:
I use nova because it feels a smooth as the stock launcher but adds better animations.

Me too.

I was using Apex almost for one year and I can compare now with Nova. And Nova wins :(

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] voyager_s:
Well when I had the note I used nova and apex quite a lot on ICS. Jellybean is still not out for the note.

But on my nexus I haven't even tried any other launcher. Even though I have very high opinions and experience with both nova and apex. The stock jellybean launcher is so good and responsive I have note tried any non stock launchers.

If Samsung could somehow get project butter to really work with their latest touchwiz skin, I think it would be worth a try. I really like their new nature UX skin. Its very well designed and pleasing to the eye mostly. Just lags after a while like anything below 4.1.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] simonb255:
Nova prime
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dirtygoldfish:
Another vote for Nova here. I used to prefer Apex, but after buying Nova Prime for 25 cents and using it for a few days, it definitely has more of that JB butter than Apex.

Well what do u know...after reading a few pages of this thread I've only gone and tried nova on my nexus.

Think its a keeper for now...runs as smooth as stock it seems...if not smoother. And the customisations have always been far more richer than stock.

Yep...will keep and see if project butter stays true to form with nova
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phazer250first:
Apex is the best for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kcharng:
Nova was on sale a few days ago. Decided to buy it after using the beta version. Very happy with it now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lrs421:
So it's not just me. I jumped all over the 0.25 deal from Google Play and was disappointed in the speed and responsiveness compared to the stock launcher.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] djexacto:
Was using nova with Ics, and trebuchet or stock depending on the rom for jb, but recently switched to affinity rom, Franco kernel, and apex launcher. It runs like a dream. Drawer opens flawlessly every time, scrolling is buttery smooth (especially after the recent update), couldn't be happier. Might try nova again just to compare, but not really sure what more I would be looking for.

Have also used Spb shell, go launcher, and adw on my Gnex in the past.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Edo 91:
I'm with you ;) it's the most innovative launcher by far!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FC1032:
Probably gonna get burnt, hung on a cross and spat at... but I like launcher 7...

I can't ever choose a good wallpaper, so instead I opt for having huge tiles to show my essentials. On a side note, could someone recommend me alternative setup which would also be clean and show me all the essentials? (missed calls, weather, time, messages, batter) I know you could just get any launcher and slap on widgets, but i haven't been able to find one with consistent themes.

Currently have minimalistic text widgets, they go well with the tiles.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IAreKyleW00t:
I can't find any differences with Stock and Nova honestly. Nova has settings on how smooth you want it - such as "Nova" speed and "Stock" speed - both of which are incredibly smooth and nice. Personally, I like the slightly snappier feel to "Nova", so I stick with that.

I use Nova because it came with AOKP, so I figured "why not?" I don't see much of a difference though - their both great! I'd use either one, but currently I use Nova.

I've been using stock launcher since I got GN, but last week I tried Nova again and I'm really happy with it. It's something new, since I don't like custom ROMs. And I like new folder looks and card scrolling effect on desktop. Lots of other cool options as well. :)

No. I doubt they will any time soon. Although, with the way things are going currently, who knows.

Switched to Nova

Apex is great but needs some work. I had the Home button set to open the App Drawer. The issue I have with Apex is when hitting Home from the Notification Shade or Recent Apps it opens the App Drawer. Purchased Nova from the sale and never looked back. An email to the Apex dev only suggested turning off Home opens App Drawer. I also think Nova Launchers menus are better organized.

I prefer adw ex paid version. With the new update, it's incredibly smooth and fully customizable with every option I could ever think of using.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
of course stock launcher is the smoothest in general. But there is one annoying bug in app drawer. Last application tab / first widget tab - it stuters often when you swipe right or left. But it's only in this particular place. This bug seems to be still present in 4.2 launcher although it's not that evident there. Trebuchet on the other hand is free from this problem.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] asheehanjr:
Nova Launcher here! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JLishere:
Ditto here. I use Nova, and it's noticeably faster than stock or any other launcher I tried in the past 2 weeks, but the speed really shines with these specific settings:

(under Nova / Look and feel)

- Scroll Speed: Fast

- Animation Speed: Fast

- App Animation: Jellybean

(under Settings / Developer options)

- Window animation scale: .5x

- Transition animation scale: .5x

- Animator duration scale: .5x

Smoother than butter!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Theshawty:
Halving the transitions makes you lose the CRT screen off animation. I kinda like it :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Me too! Turns out "Window animation scale" is the only one you need to keep at 1x to still have the CRT screen off. JB is much less schizophrenic feeling with Transition and Duration at 0.5x. Force GPU rendering of course as well ;)

Any idea about Disable HW overlays? Not sure which way would be better since you're "disabling HW", but "forcing GPU"?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
I don't understand why people use force gpu rendering. Its been a simple option for developers since... 2.3? to use hardware rendering. Everything else is already accelerated.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Because why not offload to the GPU when we can?

Here's a great explanation of these options, including the answer to my own question about HW overlay:

http://rootzwiki.com/topic/13092-le...3100-jb-410-71312/page__st__12020#entry782713
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sirichais:
QQ Launcher.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Because it already is? Check egl.cfg. Jellybean removed the software renderer altogether.

I think I also read that forcing gpu rendering in Jellybean also turns off any additional CPU acceleration.

That is part of project butter, and is going to likely make performance worse. Kind of like going back to ICS.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Quite the opposite from what I've read! :)

And yes, I read his disclaimer too. :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Help me understand this. How is forcing GPU rendering any different than apps including

<application android:hardwareAccelerated="true">?

I was wrong about 2.3, it was introduced in 3.0.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
It's not any different if the app already supports it, and I'm not trying to argue. But as was clearly stated several times, not all apps have done this yet, so there are some possible gains when using the Force options, of course to be weighed against possible instability from the same apps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Just trying to understand how it applies to the thread subject (launchers). I feel relatively certain I can decompile every launcher mentioned here so far and find the acceleration xml mentioned.

Not trying to be a ****, just trying to understand the thoughts behind it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Here is how this happened: I prefer stock launcher. These are options another poster brought up to improve the stock launcher experience. I gave my 2 cents on them and from that point you veered us off into this side-discussion on HW Accell and GPU Rendering. Anyway, I apologize if you find me ignorant or something but I'm done trying to have a conversation with someone who is just trying to pick a fight.

On topic: I'm using stock launcher for now, though I'm VERY tempted to go to Apex since I feel like ICS had more visual consistency than JB.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] scalamanderr:
Definitely stock launcher.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Crackking:
I prefer odexed Apex Launcher, best Launcher so far :good:

And really smooth.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bat0nas:
It was already proven: Apex is not as smooth as stock JB or Nova launcher.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dinoc:
I use Nova Prime , I like it better than stock
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gforce083:
I was really enjoying Apex on ICS... it was very very smooth. Since the JB update, I do notice some hiccups in the app/widget drawer. My main reason for using any launcher other than stock (since I picked up android) is the ability to use custom app icons and resize widgets, that's a huge thing for me. JB has the resizing thing down but I can't get away from custom app icons. Yes I know, I could just use desktop visualizer but that often has it's own quirks and hang ups. Here's hoping Apex works out the kinks with JB, when that happens, I'll be buying the pro version.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Flav106:
I definitely agree with you. I'm an Apex user too and since i'm on JB i don't know what to use...

Apex is not as smooth as JB stock launcher, and misses some features like icons movings alone when adding a widget but i miss some Apex features like having a view of all windows tapping home or redesigning folders icons... :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sloprest:
Currently running Nova on BAMF's JB build. Very very nice after coming from GO launcher on ICS and then going back to ICS stock which I actually liked better. I have not touched any of the transition/speed settings for Nova and its truly buttery smooth. I've had it glitch maybe twice. Very much impressed and enjoying the experience. I have not tried the others so no comment there,
