So is there a difference between stock launcher and Google Launcher?

So I loaded to Google launcher on my phone, and it didn't seem different. Are there differences from the stock Turbo?

If you keep swiping to the left it will go to google now instead of requiring you to swipe from the bottom

If you're looking for something more customizable I strongly recommend Nova/Nova prime. It runs beautifully on the turbo

I have Nova prime, haven't tested it yet. I like stock Android honestly.

Well if you have nova prime, why not take it out for a spin? One of the first things I install on a new device.

I like the ability to implement double-tap to turn off screen. Coming from the LG G2 I was missing that.

I love Nova BUT I really enjoy the Google Now page. I wish they would add that as a page

I liked using GN as well but horizontal screen rotation, knock off, and all the other customization options keep me using nova

With Nova Launcher can I still use my 'ok Google now' from the screen off position?

My needs are pretty basic, and there really isn't anything the stock launcher doesn't do that I would like it to. Is there any one particular cool feature you like about Nova that the stock launcher doesn't do the might be of interest to me?

Yes you can still use this feature. I am using Nova now and love it.

Honestly there's so much customization with Nova I'd heavily suggest downloading and messing around with the basic version for free. There are literally pages of features available in Nova.

That being said I'm currently running the stock launcher myself.

Yes read my previous post, the turbo runs nova better than any device I've owned before.
