Anyone planning on using Nova launcher?

[ZOMMBIE1]

stock is good but I always use Nova launcher especially now that it works with Samsung's theme store.

Nova is great for icon packs and customizing.

That said I haven't felt the need to use it with modern touchwiz. On my s6 and the phones before it I always got rid of the touchwiz launcher day one and used Nova. But since the s7 touchwiz got a lot better and I don't feel the need for Nova.

I guess I am a little anal if I went to Nova because I couldn't resize some widgets. But that's the beauty of Android...customization...

I'm using Nova Launcher now(see my post on the "post a picture of your home screen"). I usually use it whenever I get an Android phone. It really adds to the customization of the phone and you can really make some neat themes with it. I have a 3rd party icon pack installed as well so it's all done completely to my personal preference.

I love Nova Launcher. Can't imagine not using it.

I ended up going to Nova the other day.

One of thing that is bugging me now that is more noticeable with the bigger screen... Is there any way to change the grid size within the folder? The icons seem too spread out, unlike the the desktop. I can't find anything in the folder settings to change this.

Well....now that it's been released what's everyone running? I'm still with TW as it's setup much like my Pixel setting I used on my Nexus (with Nova Pixel look). I'm missing a few gestures. But right now sticking with TW. It has gotten WAY better. But I'm sure I'll end up running Nova eventually.

Nova.

I was going to give TouchWiz a good shot but when there were some non-resizeable widgets, I immediately went to Nova.

I've not tried any major changes, like your mentioned NavBar. Will let you know if I do.

Same, thought I would give TW a fair shake. Used Nova Prime on my S4 and Note 4. Gave TW about three hours. I went back to Nova.

I missed the double tap gesture to turn off the screen and went right back to Nova...

Sammy made wonderful strides with TW or "Samsung Experience" or whatever they're calling it, but it's still lacking a few key features that I get from Nova. I made it about 24 hours before installing Nova one my Note 8.

The one thing i need that i get from nova is the infinite scroll. Did tw get that feature?for anyone who has a N8. mine will be here tomorrow if it can't do that stock then i will install nova.

Exact same for me.

I did set up Nova new instead of just importing a backup. It's similar to my old setup, but not the same.

Same here, that is what brings me to nova each time.

You can change the mail app theme now with Nova Prime or is that a independent program? Thanks in advance.

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.

Yes it does and it seems like this is the only thing missing from touch wiz UI. Making icons bigger is my biggest thing. Lol.

I never thought I had OCD until I saw your home screen, which apparently has just randomly vomited icons all over the damn place. Ha

I'm using Nova. I enjoy the customization that TW doesn't provide. Such as multiple dock pages, home screen rotation, the Google Now page that can be swiped from the right, etc., etc...

I use BlueMail it's third party. This is how the Note8 came out.....

The S8 & Note 8 icons/lettering seems to be pretty small especially in the calendar. Can Nova fix this?

You can change that in system settings without using nova.
