How Does Nova affect the Note 4?

I'm just shocked no widget is missing from touchwiz

Without starting a new topic - is Nova launcher the best one out there?

I've used multiple launchers and I feel it's a matter of preference. Nova is the best for me because it's the simplest with just enough customization. I used to be a GO launcher fan but they got a little Ad happy. Apex and Smart launcher seem to be gaining in popularity.

Best way to find out what you like is to download them and try them out because attempting to describe the features of them is impossible.

There are a couple from the Calendar that are missing. In TW, when I select the calendar widget, I get a choice of 4 different widgets, including a nice transparent monthly calendar. Using Nova, when I select calendar, it just drops the standard daily one on the screen and thats it. I can't choose any of the other 3.

There's another thread about this somewhere. From it I got turned on to "Today" Better than stock calendar. Nice widget. I use Nova too.

Big thing for me missing from Nova, or any other launcher besides TW, is the feature that lets you pin an action memo to a home screen. I really like that feature as with the Note 4's screen resolution I can actually read those mini post-its.

Does anyone know of a widget that can do similar, as a 1x1?

Yes, I have to clean my Gmail. Just cleaned my Yahoo mail the other day.

Thank you for posting this picture and sorry to get off topic, but I have a question please, as I have always wondered why my gmail icon doesn't show the 'number' of messages? I have looked in the settings but can't seem to find how to make it show that. Thanks for any help.

If you DL the TeslaUnread app and use it with Nova it will provide this.

Thank you for your reply. I use the stock launcher (and still using Note 2....Note 4 soon!) so I guess it cannot be accomplished with stock.

right. purchase Nova Launcher Prime, then download/install Tesla Unread. Set up all of the items you want badges for.

I recently switched from Apex to Nova Prime because Nova finally added a "Lock Desktop" feature. So far I haven't had a problem adding any of the Samsung widgets.

What do you like better about Nova over Apex?
