Nova Launcher vs Apex Launcher

[clankfu]

For those of you who have used both Apex and Nova on your Moto X, which one gave you snappier and smoother performance?

Not taking features and customizations into consideration. Just talking purely performance.

I side loaded the GEL and highly recommend it.

Seems most like Nova. They are really comparable to the point where im not sure you'd see a difference

I have been using nova for quite a long time now. I love it. It just feels much quicker than other launchers. Plus the new update added all the sweet kit Kat features into it, ie the translucent bars. highly recommend it.

Just got my Moto X yesterday; so, I'm still getting used to things. I've purchased several launchers in the past (loved Nova) -- does Nova interfere with the the X's Active Display > swipe to see notifications? Does Nova interfere with Touchless Controls?

Thank you. (Sorry if this seems like a hijack, OP!)

I haven't noticed any interference with active display or anything.

No it does not interfere with any of Motorola's apps.

I really like Nova when I need to cover up touchwiz or sense. Its nice getting new icons and such, hiding the bloatware, etc.
But on the X I like to run it without a launcher. I like the vanilla android thing.

I recently got a new launcher called Action Launcher. It is pretty slick too if you are looking to try something new.

I have used Nova for a little over a year and it's awesome. I have used it mainly to get rid of the touchwiz look as much as possible on all of the Samsung phones I've used. I didn't use it right away on the Moto X but I am now. While I like the stock home of the Moto X, I really like the customization that Nova gives me. I like a certain grid size and having multiple dock pages. There are just more options and none of them take away from what the Moto X does on its own. They only add to it.

Can I make a 5 x 5 grid without using a launcher or have multiple docks?

I've been using Go Launcher. Very customizable.

I use Apex. Never had any issues. Running their latest Beta now. I tried Nova once long time ago, but then switched back to Apex for some reason

Always been a nova fan, and probably going to stick with it. But, I'm going to give action launcher a go. On sale now as well. Just want to try something innovative and different.

Thanks. That would be great on the MotoX. I've been running CM11 on my LG-G2, very nice.

Welp, I bought action launcher and it's amazing. Sorry to hijack the thread. Might go back to nova at some point, but this launcher is just awesome.

I have both paid versions of Apex and Nova. They're pretty much equal, though I use Apex more often.

HA! ...Love the phone but yes it does! That grid size that the phone comes with was wayyyy too small! I tried for a few hours and then immediately put Nova on it. SOOO much better now and all moto features still work! Happy man it does make
