Nova prime.

Nova, I use the free version from the store. Creditcards aren't as ubiquitous in Europe as they are in the US.

What's everyone's true thoughts on facebook home? Though I don't facebook a ton having my phone revolve around all my pictures and the way it seems to handle messaging seems really cool. That's another big thing for me. Something I miss from my iPhone. Is messaging. I've tried go and I'm currently using handscent. But haven't really found a really nice way of handling messaging. Facebook home seem like they got a good grip on that.

My favourite is Action Launcher.

The most innovative of the launchers for me.

Just a pity that there is no free version for anyone who wants to give it a decent test.

[Nova Launcher] Daemos:
Nova Launcher prime,

The ability to set the home button to do whatever you want (in my case the app drawer when at the home screen), and I use a very large grid size for maximum customization, no other launcher can do that. It's also combined with LMT launcher...
[Nova Launcher] zekurosu:
paid for Nova ...not for anything else out there ... :good:
[Nova Launcher] victorator:
I don't get the Nova hype really. Apex is better in every aspect, it's smaller, cheaper and runs smoother. What the hell people.
[Nova Launcher] D3_:
I used to prefer Apex, and used that for ages, since I was on my sgs2. Recently I found out about Action launcher and got that, but I could never really replicate my home screen layout in it properly and there were huge margins on all sides, although I really liked the idea of "covers" (this was before shutters were introduced)

Then I found out that with a little more work you could make a cover in Nova launcher, and now I'm using that.

I've got the prime/pro version of all of them so that wasn't limiting my experience with any of them, I just prefer the functionality of Action launcher, but settle for the aesthetics of Nova, while retaining some of the best features from Action launcher.
[Nova Launcher] Kremata:
Apex would be my second choice. What I can't live without anymore(smartphone talking of course) is the amount of gestures that makes Nova so fast to launch an app. Every icons in the dock can be assigned to a "Swype up"gesture so every icons can launch 2 apps. I love laughing my camera with a simple Swype down of two fingers. So fast.
[Nova Launcher] bungknees:
Apex does this as well. To be honest they are both nearly identical, both in performance and customization. Personal preference I suppose. I'm happy with either.
[Nova Launcher] fen_nyc:
Guys & ladies, the Note 2 is my 1st Android phone. Desired a more efficient UI & this is why I went w/ Nova Prime:

1. App, Animation, Scroll Speed control. (Setting this to the minimum will move one Home Screen to the next w/out delay)

2. App icon & Screen Margin resizing features. (Shrink your icons & expand the grid, thereby utilizing your screen space)

3. App Drawer customization.

4. App Folder customization.

5. Remove App names & full screen options. (I enjoy minimalist Home Screens)

6. Realtime Text msg & Gmail email count. (An essential separate add-on that places a numeral to new msgs/emails visible on the icon)

**This is the only UI app I've ever purchased after EXTENSIVE research. Not sure if EVERY feature I listed is present in other like apps.

Additionally, there's good gesture integration but I don't use it. The ONLY criticism is that creating/modifying App Folders is abit complex at first.

I want speed & efficiency; Nova Prime excells here.
[Nova Launcher] B3311:
Lightning Launcher.
[Nova Launcher] krumbs:
I am a "launcher junkie". :) Over the last few years have tried dozens of free launchers and bought a bunch, too - SPB Shell 3D, ADWLauncher EX, Action, Apex Pro and Nova Prime. And oh, Next Launcher 3D. But keep coming back to Nova - love the ease with which you can scale down icons - I prefer that to changing dpi to 240. I have seen that option in ADW, but not in the other launchers.

Also like the modded TW launcher with more columns.

Currently, playing around with Buzz Launcher Beta. Looks promising. Check it out. Am also wondering if Chameleon Launcher for Phones is finally worth buying. Another launcher I was tempted by - but find to be too expensive - is TSF Shell.

EDIT - And oh, if you love the Metro/ Modern UI of Windows Phone 8, then Launcher8 is an amazing launcher. For free.

[Nova Launcher] daz_2000:
Go launcher is simply better than all other launchers. For some reason it keeps getting overlooked on xda. Guess its down to opinion.

I don't know people, you guys are coming with very good alternatives. I tried a lot of your suggestions. Some are pretty cool but I get tired easily. It seems a lot of them are trying to hard to be special. Nova is just so simple and customizable. Apex is very good but so similar to Nova it's useless to switch. I guess the quest is not over.;)
[Nova Launcher] elhefe420:
So I got the new release for Facebook home and it says my device is not supported yet. I got a galaxy note 2? Is it because I'm running jedi? Also so far nova and apex are cool but I like that holo let's you do your home screen in landscape.

I saw it mentioned only once on this thread, and that's Lightning Launcher. Easily the most customizable. Takes a little to learn but once you do every other launcher is just blah
[Nova Launcher] sandroidoid:
Nova +1 . Very good, nice look.
[Nova Launcher] Kremata:
Installed Facebook home yesterday. I installed it just to try as I'm not Facebook fan enough to have it as my main home launcher. It's good if you love Facebook but the best feature for me is that I don't need my VPN to connect on FB (FB it's blocked in China.)
[Nova Launcher] pakure:
No. . It is not the beta... it is the final version ... it is the version launched in the US play store.

I have also tested some launchers since I use an Android phone... now I'm on apex and very happy with it... it's fast and there a lots of options to customize it... i have also tested nova, but I like apex more, I don't know why ;D I've also used stock launcher but yes it's... you know ;D
[Nova Launcher] Kremata:
Ugly stock AOSP,? Nova and Apex Boring? Nova is vanilla kind of launcher it might look boring when just installed but you can make it look like you want it's so customizable. You can actually make it look exactly like TWhome but with the gesture and other features more.
[Nova Launcher] raduque:
I don't want gestures, and don't need or use the features of Apex or Nova. And yes, AOSP/Google-stock android is ugly and boring.
[Nova Launcher] Kremata:
I'm sorry to say but you look almost angry about the gestures. May I know what you have against gestures. It makes accessing apps so must faster.
[Nova Launcher] raduque:
No, I'm not angry. I simply don't like them, on anything. I don't use them in any app on any device. I'm a simplistic kinda guy. I don't like all the silly swiping in a Z to open this app, or a W to open that app.
[Nova Launcher] ravijani:
Buzz is new king.. still in beta but so much powerfull...

very impressed.. :D
[Nova Launcher] badtzo:
for a long time I used Go Launcher because all of the features it have but after sometime it started to get a lot of resources of the system. So I started to try Apex and Nova. I preffer Nova 'cause in my case it get less memory than Apex and both of them looks pretty similar.

Now I'm using buzz launcher and I'm too amazing!!! it is going to be the launcher I always have dreamed about. Right now is pretty good!! but still is missing a bunch of features in appdrawer and a few ones on home screen but it still is a beta version =P so it's doing right well!!!

I put all my eggs in this basket! (y)
[Nova Launcher] Kremata:
Ah ok, thats what I thought. I'm with you with the W or Z gestures, I don't use them on Dolphin browser or other apps. But Nova gestures are not like that. Only swipe up, swipe down, two fingers swipe up, two finger swipe down. Very simple and very fast. For example I set my camera to start with two-fingers swipe up, how many times do you need to get to your camera fast because something is happening.

Anyway not trying to convice you to like Nova, I just felt you had the wrong idea about the gestures on Nova. If you don't like Nova it's ok just don't like for the good reasons. :laugh:
[Nova Launcher] tuxonhtc:
Touchwiz is fine but Nova is ugly? Well that's... interesting.

I bought nova to get rid of the eyesore that Touchwiz is, but loved it more for it's functionality.
[Nova Launcher] antt00:
+1. Saw someone recommend Buzz in this thread, tried and and love it. Buzz is the new king as soon as they can improve on their smoothness.
[Nova Launcher] issak42:
tl;dr: Nova Prime ftw.

Back in the times of eclair and froyo, I swore by Launcher Pro. Then I bought the 'plus' version, and development stopped. It has now been in the 'complete rewrite' stage ever since.

Then I got a new phone, and for a while stuck with stock xperia launcher, but it was missing customizability (I have no use for more then 3 screens for example, so having fixed 5 kinda bugs me)

The search for a new launcher began, I quickly found Nova and Apex, but it was hard to pirate apex pro for a test drive (15 minutes is really not enough), so I bought nova prime on play store sale for 0,25€.

Now I use it on both devices.

I never liked go launcher. Never. It needed 200 extra plugins, it looked kinda like android 2.3 but not really, it looked out of place.

I tried next launcher, and guess what, I'm back to nova. I hate the icons on next, they are unclear and the whole thing, while it does indeed look pretty, is very unproductive.
[Nova Launcher] raduque:
Different people have different opinions on what looks good. I don't happen to think flat, monochromatic Holo is good looking. I like a colorful, interesting interface. I don't have the time or inclination to go digging through the massive turd pile of themes to find that one good theme that has everything I want. TW/Nature UX already does.
[Nova Launcher] Albinoni:
How do you find the Apex paid version. I've also got Nova Prime and used Apex free before but been thinking of getting Apex paid. Is it worth it

Thanks

---------- Post added at 09:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:22 AM ----------

Next Launcher is affiliated with the same people that make Go Launcher correct me if I'm wrong. But it's very overpriced bit over $15. Even Chameleon Launcher was way overpriced and it never seemed to get a 5 star rating
[Nova Launcher] omnius1:
Also chiming in for Lightning Launcher. Unless you're really not into theming much. In that case there are better choices. I've never used nova or apex because Holo HD which I had purchased is so close to those I didn't see the point of paying for another launcher so similar.

Personally I think Nova, while excellent, is over hyped. I use Holo HD which is very close to Nova and Apex in terms of look and feel. It's just a tiny bit less customizable, however it's also a tiny bit faster.

[Nova Launcher] bushako:
I was a fan of apex until I noticed how it started to get sluggish with increase in widgets on the home screen. Also, the transition animations are rendered better with Nova launcher. And although apex has more options such as the icon size that can be set individually on home, drawer and dock, it's not worth getting back. I'd say Nova is the best so far.
[Nova Launcher] omnius1:
I pitted nova against holo HD before on the n4 and here's a more detailed rundown of what I found.

Customization and options: Nova won this but that's not to say holo wasn't good. Nova was just better

Touch responsiveness: to test this I used rapid app drawer and home screen scrolling. I found holo almost never missed even on really fast and light swipes. Nova missed more frequently. I also noticed nova didn't catch apps that I dragged to the red X remove area at the top of the screen as well as holo. Holo won this

Stutter/Lag: tied. Both are impressively smooth and passed my rapid repeated opening and closing of the app drawer and scrolling tests without any stutters.

Drawer Animation Speed: Holo only has two options - use an animation or none. Nova has several animation speed options. Nova wins this.

Look and feel: they both use the same stock jellybean style UI

Overall impressions: Nova leads overall. They're virtually indistinguishable from each other in performance but Nova has more overall functionality. Having said that I'm still going to stick with Holo because it's just a tiny bit lighter than Nova. I'm just overly picky that way ;)

Nova Prime for ever!! To me is the best, I only miss all the animated transitions that go launcher have but nova is ultra smooth, light and have good performance managing widgets or custom themes.

I like a lot buzz or themer but I hate to edit a lot to get what I want or doesn't have the app drawer a scrollable up-down.

Hi,

I received an update notice for JB (XT910), I download this update, restart my phone and the upgrade but after a while, it stops and the phone restart.

I had updated the radio version (but then I put back the original), I had installed the extra_kernel_modules (but I've deleted), I made the Unroot with rootkeeper. Is there a way (other than to re-flash ICS) can make the original OTA?

Sorry for my English ...

Its running great. Found one hiccup (and it may be only due to multiboot sharing the sdcard directory). When choosing wallpaper by pressing main screen and tapping "wallpapers" the small thumbnails and large preview dont match. The smaller are custom, and the larger are the stock papers. When choosing, the stock is applied.

By far, the fastest scrolling on a rom yet. Very fast and fluid under a load.
