HTC One and Launcher

[R4GE46]

Hi Folks,

I am new to this forum and all new to Android. I used to be a iPhone-Fanboy and my Lumia 920 is a pain in the ***! Finally I am going to step into the Android world with my new HTC One in awesome stealth black.

As you can imagine I do have so many questions! Yeah, I could use the search function. The results are not what I am looking for, though. I saw some ******* awesome homescreens in the other thread and I am very curious how to handle a launcher and how to set them up in such an incredible way.

So here is my questions:

What has to be taken in to account when starting with Android and launcher like nova launcher? Any suggestions for a new Android and HTC One fan? Does the nova launcher exist besides HTC Sense? Can I switch easily betwenn the 2 UI? Can I **** up my HTC One while using a launcher? What about loss of CPU power or battery?

Just do it. It is easy and you can switch back and forth by going into app manager and clearing the default on whatever is the current one.

My opinion if you new to android is to run it with sense 5 first then try a launcher if you need anything different, would help you learn android 1st! I say this as I don't run a launcher and this last 6 weeks my first bite at android and I had bb bold, iPhone 4 then a wp7 lumia 800 before this.

Well, sense launcher isn't really working like normal android. The launchers actually are easier and provide more freedom.

I guess you are right. I need to get used to the new OS first and have a look at all the Apps available. However, I like a customized phone and I didn't relalize all the possibilities that Andorid provides with respect to customizablity.
