Anyone else bail on the pixel launcher?

[anon(464338)]

Just wondering if anyone has, or planned to load a different launcher like Nova?

I thought I would have gone back to TSF Launcher by now, but I'm trying to give the Pixel Launcher a chance. But I do think I will eventually switch.

I liked and used the Google Now launcher so I kind of like the Pixel Launcher. It's a bit different but I'll probably stick with it..

Come on it's Android. Who sticks with the stock Launcher.

I am still using it, I typically switch to Nova on first day, but I kinda like the Pixel launcher. The only thing I miss is removing the labels from the shortcuts on my desktop. A slight miss is the unread counter from Nova/Teslaunread.

I'm using it and I quite like it. Very quickly gotten used to the swipe up for apps drawer and rounded icons looks pleasant.

I used to rock Google Now launcher, but I'll be sticking to the Pixel launcher.

I loaded nova, unread counts are too much a part of my smartphone life.

Nope using it and love it. Especially the app drawer pull up from bottom. Very intelligently done and overall love the pixel launcher.

Switched back to Nova, but downloaded beta and set Nova to work and look like the Pixel Launcher. Search Nova to Pixel for youtube videos to show you the settings. Prefer Nova's spacing and unread notification counts.

I've used Nova for years. Just for the heck of it, set up the new phone with the stock launcher. Probably going to set up Nova as well. I do miss the unread count.

I generally have used Google launcher on Samsung devices for the last few year. I like the Pixel launcher even more. I like Google Now on the left,the pill search widget with weather, and love the non drawer app drawer. It is very material like.

I do not care for unread counts, so that is a non factor.

Still using it. Didn't think I would, but I like the swipe up and the way the apps are arranged when you do that. May try something else later but have been busy trying to customize everything else.

Both nova and action launcher offer swipe up for app drawer ... You can actually get either of them to look and operate almost exactly like the pixel launcher but they're both a lot more customizable

I like the new launcher it is simplistic and easy to navigate, this new phone screams through the apps.

I am a Google Now Launcher user so I will most likely stick w/ the Pixel Launcher once I get the phone on Monday.

 

[arthurhkt]

Been a fans of Google now for quite sometimes, but using Nova launcher at the moment, mainly bacause it allow me to do more customization. But perhaps I will stick with Pixel Launcher for a while once I got my Pixel Phone.

 

[Markxmlx]

I never really liked the look of it. I can imagine a lot of people will be switching to Action/Nova launcher shortly after getting the Pixel.

 

[ajamudc]

I'm using Nova. Nova is generally the first thing I setup on new phones, so it's a credit to the Pixel Launcher that I really considered using sticking with the stock launcher. Ultimately, I decided to go with the beta version of Nova to get most of the Pixel look with the customizations of Nova.

Does the stock launcher allow the icons to be changed?

I generally stick to the "google launcher" however one thing I wish they would do is add icon badges. I do kind of enjoy seeing a notification count on an application icon.
