Are you sticking with this launcher?

Yikes also notice I lose the multi tasking swipe up gesture with nova

Just downloaded it. Unless I'm missing something, is there a way to remove the arrow in this pic? I may just need to play with it more.//uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20181031/b863c66e347067955fa3262f39122146.jpg

app drawer settings swipe indicator
you have to go through every settings page and then each of those settings to see everything
it's a little time consuming but you can customize the hell out of it and keep it speedy

do you mean swiping up on the home button to go to recents?

 

[yungskeeme88]

Yes. Haven't chosen a default launcher yet so might be it

it definitely does it. I'm using nova, obviously, and I have it

 

[yungskeeme88]

Yup that was it. Made Nova my default and it works. Thanks!

Gave Nova a try for a day. I went back to the stock launcher. Seems smoother. Also,I saw Nova was using battery. Not alot and not sure how much it was effected. Moving apps wasn't only pain. I like on the stock browser you can place the apps anywhere. Possible to do with Nova?

 

[bkrickles]

I think nova is as smooth and the swipe up for recents and app drawer is definitely smoother for me. My battery has been good but I haven't done a comparison. As far as moving apps goes, nova does everything that stock launcher does times 100. It's not really close. You just have to dig into the settings.
With that being said, it's probably not for everyone and is a primary reason I love Android. Choices, choices, choices!

Main reason I wanted it was for the double tap to sleep but moving apps around was a pain because they would keep moving. May give it another try though

 

[bkrickles]

I'm not sure what you mean by the apps moving. My apps don't move after placing them. There is a setting to lock your home pages so nothing can be altered.

Kinda hard to explain. I'll play with it some more. Could just me user error

I'm able to move the apps into folders on their own page in Nova.

ya im sticking with stock launcher, i have nova prime but want to fully embrace googles vision of this phone and so far im loving the SW/UX. My only complaint is i wish Google Now was more customizable to show exactly in what order i want to display info (like iOS widget screen)

 

[yungskeeme88]

I'm back on stock. It works for me. Only thing I wish I could do on stock is remove the Google bar

I like the Pixel Launcher with one Exception.
The search bar at the bottom. I wish there was a way to disable it or modify it. With Google Assistant , one would have thought google would make typing in a search bar less relevant. Having a search bar taking up space on the Screen is pointless.

I use Nova Launcher

 

[Addie_Goodvibes]

The Google Search Bar is useless for how I use my phone and I need to delete it. I like to put 7 icons on my Dock. I want the rest of my home screen to remain clean as I like to display my own images on a clean screen. Here's an example of what I want to see.

The Pixel Launcher doesn't let me do this. My Nova Prime does.

I Agree! I like the Pixel Launcher with one Exception.
The search bar at the bottom. I wish there was a way to disable it or modify it. With Google Assistant , one would have thought google would make typing in a search bar less relevant. Having a search bar taking up space on the Screen is pointless. Additionally I wish Pixel launcher allowed for customization of swipe up actions instead of a staggered launching of the app drawer.

I use Nova Launcher I get to customize how many icons are on the bottom add additional windows with additional docked icons & customize swipe actions.

I find the search bar very useful and glad it's there. I use it all the time for app search.

But agree option to remove for those who don't need would have been great.
