I've noticed I can't use the lil swipe motion to reduce screen size on Nova. It just slides to another screen. I can use the side bar deal though.

Without starting a new topic - is Nova launcher the best one out there?

Yes.

I got it working just fine with Nova Launcher Prime.

If you want the best of both worlds, use the nova launcher, and put the Google Now widget on the far left home screen
like so:

How do you do this?

How do you do this?

Which part? if you are asking about the widget, you can go into the app drawer and select the widgets tab, and look for the "google now" one, and place it on the left most screen. and uncheck infinite scrolling of screensn (in the Nova settings)

hope this is what you asking about. If not, let me know what part of my screen shot you are asking about.

The prime opens up more features than the free version, that has to do with look and feel enhancements of the launcher. One of my favorites is the gestures on the home screens. for example I can swipe down from anywhere on the screen to bring down the notification panel, or pinch to zoom to open up the gallery, or swipe down with two fingers to say open wifi. All these can be customized to do different things.

hmm, it should be there in the app drawer. Alternatively you can press and hold the home screen>>widgets>>Google search>>Google now (4x4)

I am loving Nova Prime on my N4. It has been very smooth and I love the additional customization features.

When you remove the s pen on a non touchwiz launcher, do you get the air command?

I just checked this with Nova and air command pops up when s-pen is detached.

I've never used a launcher before and usually just relied on ROOT with my classic Thunderbolt for customizations so pardon my stupidity here but, is it easy to go back to TouchWiz in the event that I dislike Nova?

I've been using Nova prime since I got my Note 3 and use it again on my 4. I have tried a few other launchers, but always go back to Nova prime. I don't have the widgets for Google now set up, but I've assigned a double tap on the home screen to open Google now.

I think this why I don't mind (love) TouchWiz because it works with Nova Prime, not that others (hTc, LG, etc.) have any issues.

Nova is amazing!

Sure, you can do that two ways. You could keep Nova installed and just make Touchwiz the default when you hit the home button, or you can simply uninstall Nova, and Touchwiz will be back in service. Hope this helps.

Mainly just widgets like

Calendar
S health
Facebook unread badge

All the s pen features will work.

There's an option for a Facebook unread badge and other unread badges. You need to have the Tesla Unread for Nova plugin installed. Then go into Nova Settings > Unread Counts > TeslaUnread Settings and scroll toward the bottom and select Facebook under Labs. Works great on my Note 4.

I got 1Weather when Weatherbug Elite screwed its paid customers. It has a GREAT widget that has Google Now built in. I haven't quite looked up screenshot yet or I'd post it.
