Anyone planning on using Nova launcher?

[amyf27]

If Nova can change icon/font size I might give it a try. Never had a problem with stock til infinity display. Everything seems too cramped and the font size is too small. I tried adjusting font/zoom in settings nut results were not good.

That's why I went to Nova on my S8+. I like larger icons.

These are the available options to change icon/font size.

Where did you get the lizard? That's really, really sharp

The main reason I'm sticking with Nova is because I already own it. Most other launchers are gimped unless you pay a few dollars to unlock have the features. I think I bought mine for like 10¢ years ago on some year end Google play sale.

Good point. I have the purchased version too

Even though I am not getting the Note 8 I probably would use Nova. Simply just because I like the quick actions versus stock.

What are you using the S8/+?

What are you using the S8/+?

Yeah. S8+

Not the best dimensions, though.

I know there are a lot of Nova fans out there. Why use Nova?

Because there's nothing better. Nova with the Moonshine icon pack and it's customizability, amazing

I have been a Nova premium user for years. I have tried out other launchers, but keep returning to Nova. It has all of the features that I like, and just about everything can be customized.

One of the things I love about Nova is that you can change the icon sizes and designs I like them being larger and you can have semi transparent backgrounds on the app pages

I know there are a lot of Nova fans out there. Why use Nova?

1) Because I despise going through page after page of apps in my app drawer, and I can easily turn that off using Nova vertical scroll
2) To have a consistent feel across all my Android devices, especially after buying new ones
3) I can easily backup my Nova settings to cloud accounts

There are others, but those are my primary reasons.

I keep trying to switch to either stock launchers or other 3rd party launchers and always end up right back with Nova Launcher. It's the perfect mix of customization and features for me.

Nova i love the restore and all my stuff is back where it should be...LOL

 

[Carrie Greicar]

I'm not sure. I have been reading the manual and it looks like Touchwiz got a bunch of updates and is more customizable now...

 

[ClintRo]

Won't be as customizable as a third party launcher... well I would be surprised if it was.

For me the best Nova features are:

Gestures.
Swipe up actions.
Backup.
Subgrid positioning and overlap.
Infinite scroll on home screens and drawer.
And the all powerful Nova Activities.

 

[Carrie Greicar]

I mostly like being able to change my icons and put more rows in my home screen. Looks like the new Touchwiz can do that, but if not then I am definitely going back to Nova.

i have tried nova 3 times now on my S8+ and i keep going back to the Samsung UI, the only real feature i miss from Nova is double tab to sleep.

 

[tmbarta]

I love the scrolling dock on Nova. If the Samsung UI did that I may stay with it.

 

[ClintRo]

I like the 7 icons in the dock and more icons on the home page... plus the backup and restore feature.

I've loved Nova and use it currently on my Note 4, but I am so excited to just use the Note 8 stock without it. I am pretty confident that I'll use basic "touchwiz" for a good couple of months first.
