How close to stock is the V20 launcher?

[MoonShade]

For all you that already have the V20, how close to stock is the launcher? Any features of it outside of the 2nd screen that you've found useful that's not available on stock?

Not that close minus the split screen and reply to notification function. Check YouTube for a ton of vids showing the UI.

Is there a way to memic or perhaps getting Grace UI onto this phone? I don't like the LG UI all that much.

Define stock.

I'm using Nova too. I told my wife to save her Nova settings so that she could just restore them on the new V20 but she didn't listen and is now complaining on having to set everything up again lol. I restored the last backup from my Nexus 6 onto my new V20 and only had a few things to move around. Now I got stuck with the job of setting up her V20 for her. Long way to say, use Nova on your V20.

I've just read on this forum on a few threads that it's close to stock. I would expect that would mean it's close to pure android. Not a lot of extra fluff and you interact with it close to the same way you would on straight Android.

I've been using Go Launcher for a long time and I have it installed and setup on my V20. What's the difference between the 2, and is anyone else using Go Launcher on their V20?

I don't believe I have any experience with Go but just recently started using Nova when I had the Note.

There's different ways for customization with Nova so why not download from the Play Store and test it for a few days ?!

LOL . . I was ahead of you on that one. Downloaded it right after I posted. During the setup I tried adding a Weatherbug widget, and it shuts Nova down.
I'm thinking this is the start of a new thread.

I've heard Go Launcher was pretty good too. I've been using Nova for years and just stick with what's been working for me.

Just know that if you turn on the option to hide the Notification bar you also stop the secondary screen from working but only on the home screen.

LG UI is pretty crappy. I really did try to use it but couldn't bear it.

Nova!

UI isn't fully changed by a different launcher but it can help a lot.

Been playing around with Nova and Go Launcher. Both are similar, but I still think Go Launcher is more configurable. Just my preference I guess. And a launcher certainly does change the UI pretty drastically. I hate the stock launcher myself. But again, just my preferences.
