I switched from touchwiz to Google now launcher and I mist say what a dofference. Touchwiz is slow and laggy a couple of seconds to perform any task you throw at it, Google now launcher on the other hand is fast snappy and responsive all the time it even speeds up fingerprint authentication I've found. The only thing I've noticed is that it takes about 5 minutes after switching to it for the lagginess mentioned previously to disapper, it's like it's optimizing for the first few munites or so.

So far it's a keeper on the S6 Edge.

3 simple use

4 easy customize

only not update but usable

I use it on

s5360 i9070 nexus 7 2012 tilapia with latest android maybe 5.1.1
[Galaxy S6 General] derWolf_:
I usually use either TouchWiz or Nova (pro).

The benefits of Touchwiz are that it supports some really cool widgets (like the SPlanner one, which is, hands down, the best calendar widget I've used). Also I like the overall look of it (I could be the only one in that regard, haha).

Nova on the other hand is really customizable, has really cool features and it is really light which is nice (although with hardware such as S6' one I really don't give a damn about how light an app is).

Nova launcher prime is the best. Fast, use less memory and highly customizable. I have tried several launcher like everything me, aviate launcher, go launcher and smart launcher but all of them couldn't match nova launcher. At least everythingme i liked it but it was slow (too much redrawing)
[Galaxy S6 General] michal.rutkowski:
Lightning Launcher eXtreme all the way. Imagination is the only limit in customization. Uses about 100mb of memory, but memory is here to be used. Android takes a good care about himself with memory usage.

Tapnięte z D390n
[Galaxy S6 General] Kingfish907:
Tried a few but always go back to nova launcher
[Galaxy S6 General] Beefheart:
There is, but it requires Xposed and a module called Gel Settings. The paid version allows for all the customisations you find in the likes of Nova Prime, it's a fantastic piece of software which makes Now Launcher into what Google should have made it in the first place. Unfortunately, Gel Settings currently isn't compatible with Lollipop Xposed, hopefully the author will fix this.

As for my favourite launcher, I have tried the lot but always seem to come back to Nova. I have recently tried Smart Launcher and I liked it a lot. But V2 is too limited (no widget resize on the home screen for example) and the V3 release candidates are currently too unstable with FCs and reboots when trying to change wallpaper and themes.

[Galaxy S6 General] Protagoras:
Nova launcher for me too.

I've been using it forever, can't even remember what Android was like without it. From time to time, I try a different one when I hear enough people saying it's good or reviews here and there, but I've always gone back to Nova so far, somehow I always miss one or two features, or the look & feel...
[Galaxy S6 General] venky716:
Nova or Flow beta.

My two longest serving launchers.
[Galaxy S6 General] dermotti:
Switched between apex and nova a lot. But apex can't gesture notifications right now. So back on nova prime till apex gets updated.
[Galaxy S6 General] flyzer07:
Nova Launcher prime as well since years !

Except since I have my S6, I cannot use the down gesture function to develop the notification bar, like if the Samsung interface intercept the gesture and block it.

But it remains the best for me !

I use APEX, paid version on my Samsung Galaxy S3 and Note Pro 12.2. Both run stock TW, but Apex allows for a lot of customization and since is use stock icons and my own personal wallpaper along with a PNG file from Google image search it gives me a look that has a feel of S6ish crossed with iOS sort of. Kind of nice. That coupled with Apex notifications is just flows real well.

[Galaxy S6 General] ITNV:
I've been using Nova Prime for years and I love it. It's always the first thing I load onto any new phone. BUT, I can't get the TeslaUnread Plugin to work with the stock email on the S6 and since seeing my unread email count at a glance is a big plus for me it looks like I'm going to have to give TW a chance on this phone. At least they've added an option to increase the grid and it definitely seems more responsive than earlier versions of Touchwiz.
[Galaxy S6 General] Cygnuss:
I use Go Launcher Z with DewDrop Theme simply beautiful
[Galaxy S6 General] Hanson68:
It's Lollipop related. New securities are needed to access the notification shade. If you sign up for Nova Beta, you can install the beta version straight from the app store and get that functionality back.

Just be warned that beta removed widgets from the app drawer. You have to long press home to access widgets.

Apex Launcher here. too bad the Swipe Down doesn't work. there is no accessibility option for apex and the dev still hasn't fixed it. might have to end up switching to the nova beta version because being unable to use the swipe down is getting really annoying.

If I remember correctly, you can change the gesture option and activate the swipe for the notification bar under assessibility > services > Nova > on. I think that is what I did to get it working for me.
[Galaxy S6 General] dermotti:
This is what i ended up doing... Both apex and nova are pretty much the same launcher anyways.

Only reason ive used apex so long is its free. But the swipe down thing was a major deal breaker.

I dont have the patience for an update o nova is worth every penny.
[Galaxy S6 General] itcigo1:
Nova here, it is one of the fastest launchers and the gesture options make it that much better..
[Galaxy S6 General] Orginator:
It's by far Nova Launcher! Runs very smooth and fast, looks just clean, lets you customize so many things and as itcigo1 already mentioned, the gesture options are very useful :)

[Galaxy S6 General] vteccorp:
Last 4-5 years - Apex...

Now, on S6 i'm back to Nova Prime - launcher is much smoother than Apex. Nova Prime is still updated and optimization are very good, launcher is still pretty configurable. It looks like Apex has problems on QHD display... lot of stutter, animations are simply bad...

Sorry for bad english...

[Moto X Q&A] publicanimal:
Hi y'all.

I recently broke my XT1060 and I just got a replacement.

Previously I had used a flashable zip to remove all of the VZW bloat and enable free tethering, but I didn't have that file backed up.

Could anybody share a similar file that would work to De-VZWify my XT1060 running 4.4.4?

Thanks!

Thanks for the help. I wish he left the deprecated file up because if I remember correctly I was able to adapt it myself to work with the 4.4.4 update.

I was able to set myself up by deleting all of the VZW apps in Root Explorer and using an Xposed module to enable native tethering. There are probably some VZW libraries still floating around in /system/lib, but that's no big deal.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Holicone:
Hey,

after my Tab 3 10.1 (P5200) got the KitKat update not so long ago, it went to an kinda unusable state, due to the cant write on External SD Card thingy.

So yesterday after checking out my options (Root or Update to Android 5) I decided to go for the root, since the Android 5 version is supposed to be a bit buggy.

Anyway, after my initial Odin try the tablet stuck at the "Galaxy Tab 3" logo, I think it was due to having a slightly different version than the root file was for.

So after that failed, I downloaded my stock firmware (P5200XXUBOB1_P5200DBTBOB1_P5200XXUBNK1) and also used Odin, which resulted in my tablet starting flawless again. But since it was the stock version, unrooted again, which is again, an unusable state.

So I went with this (http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-tab-3/development-10/rom-100-stock-4-4-2-kitkat-p5200-t2866066) thread, and tried the rooted version, put it in the root of my SD Card and installed it per recovery menu, which "worked" but got me stuck on the Samsung logo (side note: The music clip that playes when the logo gets outlined by the blue circle does not play completly, the last few moments are cut), after waiting for quite some time I thought I just go back to odin and install the stock firmware again. Sadly this only got me to the Samsung logo again.

Now I tried quite a few things...

I installed another stock version (Instead of the german one, i used one from luxembourgh)

I tried to install 4.2.2 again

The last thing I tried was to install the recovery menu from here (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2442915), so here is something that could be interessting. I tried to do a Factory reset before trying to reinstall the stock firmware, which worked only partially, I could not mount /config, which he wanted to do to delete it I guess.

When I tried to manually mount /config it would also fail. (Not sure if thats relevant, but its the only thing that did not worked as expected)

So, everything I tried, with factory reset and stuff ended in a stuck at the Samsung logo. In one case (not sure what combination of stuff) I got in the bootloop (Galaxy Tab 3 -> Restart -> Galaxy Tab 3 -> Restart), in a rare case I just got stuck at Galaxy Tab 3, and in most of the cases I got stuck at Samsung logo (Start -> Galaxy Tab 3 -> Samsung).

So I hope somebody can help me, since Id rather not buy a new tablet only because google thought it was a cool idea to prevent apps from writing on ext SD Card, and me ****ing something up in the flash process.

My Tablet is a Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 (GT-P5200) and at the moment with the 4.4.2 build "P5200XXUBOB1_P5200DBTBOB1_P5200XXUBNK1" (atleast thats the filename of the stock firmware im using, downloaded from http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/43847/P5200XXUBOB1_P5200DBTBOB1_DBT/), I used Odin 3.07 and Odin 3.09.

I can access the Odin/Download mode, the build in recovery mode, and could use the TWRP recovery mode if I were to install it with Odin.

There's plenty who've been expecting it...

It's now available ! And here's the link.

One tiny flaw though, it doesn't look like it's the original HTC-branded cover. But I'll go for one anyway ! Don't forget the silver keypad, since it's not the same as the one mounted on the black version. And for those who'd consider switching from white to black, black fittings are available too.

[P3600 Accessories] Matterhorn:
I think it really depends on your country, even if you're in the EU. Some countries allow a gift duty free, but a retail outlet won't send a package that way. The UK is apparently really sticky about import duties I've heard.
[P3600 Accessories] my00rs:
Oh yeah, I also concern about why the white one don't have any Dopod or HTC logo on it

Is that real genuine replacement or just some replica from some cheap material?
[P3600 Accessories] d.cortez:
i got both the white and black covers; the black is definitely HTC stock. the white one does not have any HTC markings and, there is a notable difference in the color of the front and back covers. i think the white is aftermarket and poor quality (in my opinion). if you get the white cover you should probably get the sliver "D-Pad", otherwise it will look funny. unfortunately, i ran over my device (by accident, stupidity, carelessness) and didn't have a chance to change the covers.

Hi guys,

If we switch to the white which as you said earlier has the HTC logos and the silver keyboard what about the side keys which are black (except the camera which is silver). I think it would be really ... not sexy ... white with black keys.

I have already asked cnn if they also provide white side keys and I 'm waiting for their reply. I' l get back to you when they reply.

Regards, Dimitris.
[P3600 Accessories] akirainblack:
Ah then those of us with the white to start have one major bonus. The keys are silver and it looks really swish black with all silver buttons. I can see white with black buttons would look a tad sucky.
[P3600 Accessories] Hajaz:
do the black covers still have the peeling problem?
[P3600 Accessories] AJB:
The Covers Suck

I ordered both the Black and White (with matching keypads), and I have to say that the quality is poor, and not consistent.

For the Black one:

Has multiple brands - CHT and Dopod on the front, and HTC on the back .. would have been better with just one brand;

Internal piece is missing the metal plate;

Plastic moulding is poor (my unit was warped, and not useable);

Back Cover is not provided with rubber plug (on the back for the antenna port), nor the cover for the SD Card;

No buttons provided (i.e. side buttons like the camera, Ok below the scroll wheel, etc).

For the White One:

Colour on the front and back cover differs;

Buttons were provided;

No branding at all;

Cover is not provided with rubber plug (on the back for the antenna port), nor the cover for the SD Card;

Overall, not very happy and believe to be a waste of money.
