im curious. im still sticking to touchwiz for now.
what about you guys?
I'm not a Samsung fan. My gs3 I rooted and flashed cyanogenmod within 6 months, so just got a nexus 5 when it dropped, but this phone is so "beast" I had to come back to Samsung, but it's Google Experience Launcher all the way for me!

I'm using Action Launcher 3 on mine and it's been working fine. :good:
Any of you know how to make it so the wallpaper doesn't zoom at all when on the home screen?

I use picspeed wallpapers just to get the option when setting wallpapers, best wallpaper "setter" I've encountered. Can set scroll or not, landscape, portrait, with any of those you can zoom in and out while maintaining the proper size box which can be moved around so WYSIWYG. Never use it for getting wallpapers and cant comment on the part but it carries its freight for me by being the default "setter".
I'm using Action Launcher 2, all edge features work.
Nova would be awesome if the swipe down actually made the notifications expand. For the moment, I'm using Action since all the gestures work properly.
I used TW for a few days. It was fine. I didn't really hate it.
But I saw Nova had a beta version and I love it. Been running it a little over a day now without issues.

Try the latest beta. It works. It just asks you to enable Nova's accessibility service and that about it! :good:

beta version because it allow swipe gesture for notification

I finally bought Nova. lol I think it's cheaper then it usually is not that it was a lot. I like the double tap gesture with screen off app. After having LG phones I kept doing that on Sammy's. lol

I tried those launchers and they still have the google search bar at the top. I want to use 100% of my screen. I do not want part of it used by the google search option. BAMF ROM for my Nexus phone modifies the Laucher 4.2 and removes that search bar. They just do not have BAMF for the nexus 10 yet.
There is a option in nova to remove it. Nova settings - Desktop - Persistent Search Bar

Ok thanks. I decided to install the Launcher2.apk that is in my 4.2 ROM from my phone which has the search bar removed and it works fine so I am good. I do not really like all of these launchers that have all of these options. I just like a simple clean launcher. Thanks for all of the help.
+1 for Nova..

Nova here. I just have Google Search as an icon in the dock. Handy and removable but not taking up real estate.
Custom launchers look disgusting on the Nexus 10 for some reason. The sizes of everything are just off.

Agreed. I downloaded Nova, but I can't stand the size of the dock. I tried fiddling with it to see if I could resize it, but no success. Sticking with stock launcher for now

You can adjust the grid size in most launchers, I use Apex Pro, and have no size issues, I use a 11x9 grid , which is more than the stock launcher, everything works fine ...
Also be sure to change the Margin size, makes a difference if using a higher density grid ..
Nova launcher Prime is the best.

+1 Nova Launcher! Tried Apex but had some problems.
Apex launcher has just been optimised for the nexus 10 and is great. I have it combined with the paranoid android ROM and I'm back to classic tablet experience.

I like Apex Launcher.
is there a way to get scrolling wallpaper working on the stock sense rom? i'm using apex, which has a scrolling wallpaper option, and i tried using quickpic(since the sense gallery wallpaper picker only crops for a non-scrollable wallpaper) but nothing will work. i always just get a static background
any workarounds?
without rooting, that is. i'm trying to use the phone stock for a little while before i root to see how i like it
Pretty sure this was removed totally in sense 5....
In fact, I dont even get it to work with Nova Launcher Prime either. I select a 2160px * 1080px as wallpaper with wallpaper scrolling enabled, but all i get is a static 1080px wallpaper and no scroll effect.
There is an option in nova launcher settings to force scrolling wallpaper for Samsung devices like the galaxy. Just make sure that is ticked and it will work.

You can download the app landscape wallpaper from the market for free,it will allow you to do so with the stock or aftermarket launchers.

Works for my GS2 on Apex. Make sure you download QuickPic from the playstore. Then long press on your homescreen and select Wallpapers, where it says Choose wallpaper from..select QuickPic. It should work from there.

yeah, i've tried quickpic and the stock android gallery, no luck
i installed nova real quick and that worked, but i like apex more. so it has something to do with sense i guess.
Has anyone found a way to scroll in sense curious?

Wondering what Launcher is most used with the Note 4.
I've always used Nova primarily cause I like the icon gestures options and increased grid options . But new to the Note 4 and just wondering with the Spen and all most would stick with Touch Wiz.
I'm on Nova since this got the smart gestures and works simple the best for me not to much just enough of everything.
I installed nova as I'm used to it also. I don't think it takes away from any of the spen functionality switching to nova though. I may be wrong.

The only thing I've noticed we can't do with Nova is ... 'pin' Action memos to our screen. On TW launcher the memos have a pin icon top right which dissapears on 3rd party launcher.

But you can put said pinned notes on the homescreen via SNotes correct?
I'm using next launcher 3d here, the 3d settings look awesome xD

Via the widget, yes. That is a different method than pinning individual action memos
And GEL is Google Experience Launcher
Sorry xposed XGel is a tweak to customize the launcher.
I use Action Launcher. It has unique functionality, like the ability to swipe up on a icon and assign any widget to it. It's fast too

Nova launcher because i can pull down the notification with a swipe from the homescreen without reaching the status bar.

Nova since Galaxy S1. I like the customization and its very fast and fluid.

Z Launcher
Please add the Nokia Z Launcher to the poll.
I've tried a few since getting my note 4, smart launcher is nice, then Nokia z launcher (which I loved) but the best for me so far is launcher 8 for Android it looks so cool on the note 4 screen
For all you lucky people out there that got your Edge already, have you replaced the launcher? If you're using a 3rd party launcher, would you please maybe share a screen shot of it? Maybe tell how the Edge features work on a 3rd party launcher
I'm waiting for Verizon to take my money and would like to have an idea of how it looks ?
Here is my edge running Nova. You can see in the top left the little bar for edge contacts. It still works great.

Thanks mate. Great news.
I use Dodol launcher. It's light and offers a good number of settings. No bugs so far.
Everything works fine on Total Launcher and Themer too!

Check out Zooper Pro. They have an S6 widget add-on (paid widget) that looks exactly like the stock tw widget.

Nova Launcher Prime as launcher for me !
Touchwizz weather widget unacessible with Nova Launcher Prime but I use Chronus widget instead ...
L Launcher here, no problem with the edge
Using Nova Launcher. Crashes a LOT, but then so did Apex when I tried it. I'm on AT&T and 5.0.1 and those crashes a probably to do with the RAM management issue that Samsung just admitted (well, it might be Google's fault anyway)....

yes it's really annoying. I don't think it will be fixed.
I'm using stock, I would use Nova if the animations were less janky. Also I like the stock clock and health widgets which you can't use on Nova :/
I'm using the Rootless Pixel Launcher. Very smooth and, in my opinion, a much better fit to the screen of the P30 Pro
I use Nova. No animation problems here. I have also used Smart Launcher 5. It's good but still lacking in some areas. For a month or two I used Microsoft launcher and that worked fine.
Nova here too, have played about with the alpha version of Lawnchair 2 launcher and I like it a lot but would never switch from Nova
Nova launcher.
Has everything I need /want.
Action launcher here
Used Nova to begin with but I find the quick page on Action too handy to keep using Nova
Once emui10 hits I will try stock again.
Stock on 9.1 actually wasn't as terrible as the media and youtubers made out.

So am I, prefer it to Nova on a phone. Use Nova on my tablet.
Lawnchair.
Best Google-like experience IMO...
I use Microsoft Launcher, which I think is cool and very modern
I used OnePlus launcher when still on Android 9.
Unfortunately it doesn't work anymore with Emui 10.
So untill I get it working again using stock launcher.
Im on stock and its good for me. I try Nova, Action and Evie but stock work perfect for me

I think anyone who says they like the stock launcher hasn't used a third party launcher properly.

You know how to get the stock animations when going to the recent apps screen or when going to the home screen? All the launchers do it in such an ugly way...
