Is this Launcher worth the price tag?

[poisonivy66]

All Next themes work in classic mode.

Thank you, At the moment I'm trying free ones until I get used to it, I will pay for some later, there's some pretty nice ones.

I just tried this laincher called mini launcher..i actually like..it has a sodebar from homescreen kind of blinkfeed but has quick settings..last phone calls..and last text...and you can add apps for quick access...can be laggy with animations though...if you try this..Good luck!

+1000 for Next. I've been using it for months and love it. Anyone who claims it's a battery drain probably has never actually used it or used it for more than a day. The app is update at least a few times a week so bug fixes and new features are always happening. Next and Go are related so there is a very rich ecosystem for widgets and themes.

Keep an eye on Next as I'd bet they will run a holiday sale on the full version. I got mine at 50% off.

So nice to see you again madlaw.
I've been thinking of trying Next launcher but the price has put me off.

I do hope they do a discount shortly as I like a few themes such as crystal, black, and glass.

I'm wondering, do you use it in the 3D mode or regular? Any widgets or stuff that you recommend to add to the launcher? Doesn't seem like too many just for next, does any from "go" work with Next? (reason I ask is that I think that the next notification widget seems to not work in 3D mode, but I might just use the standard mode anyway.

Thx in advance

I've used both 3D and regular. I switch them up if I get bored and feel like tinkering. I use the Next Favorites, Clock/Weather and Calendar Widgets. The Go widgets seem to be interchangeable.

3D is in Beta so that may explain some performance issues, but the app is constantly updated. Just report any bugs.

A big thanks for the added info. Glad to hear that many of the go widgets are interchangeable.

I just installed Next Base wallpaper, its absolutely brilliant, theres different settings for the planes,sky ect , if you haven't got it have a look, amazingly its free.

 

[poisonivy66]

There are two new transition effects in 3D mode, however they don't work for me, i can only get the default effect to work, I restarted my phone but no luck.

Rocking the One and have been back and forth between Nova and stock Sense. I like Nova a LOT, but for some reason, always end up coming back to HTC Sense.

Just an update about the Next Base wallpaper, I love this wallpaper but i had to uninstall it, It was causing problems, after i turn off my phone it was a nightmare trying to turn it on again, this happened every time i turned it off and on again, after uninstalling my phone acted normally again, Has anyone else had issues with this wallpaper?

I just installed it just to test this for you.

While I'm testing it on an S4 (my lady refuses for me to play with her HTC One and change her screens...lol) , I personally don't have any issues with that live wallpaper. The only issue I had was I needed to dl that patch so I can change home screens from Next to Touchwize and back again...and notifications are not perfect for some email apps when you do install the notification plug in.

Otherwise this is a dream. I love this launcher.

Thank you for testing it, I chat to someone in the US who also installed it and they haven't had any trouble either, I emailed the debs but no reply yet, I could install it again and not turn off my phone but thats not practical.

Hey no problem. I wish I could say that it works and to try a reinstall. But I think that your version of it or how the launcher works on your op-system is flawed.

I'm sure that you will get a reply. Just think, during the time trial my notifications pop up on the apps worked, but now not in full version for me. :'(
I'm sure we both will get a email with the cure.

But otherwise I'm loving this launcher.

Yes I like the launcher, didn't like the price but hey, I'm using the Classic mode, I really love that wallpaper so fingers crossed I get a fix.

Hey warpdrive I think I may have fixed it, I had uninstalled it earlier so I decided to try a reinstall and my phone fire up right away this time, fingers crossed it keeps working.....love that wallpaper

Hi all, can anyone tell me how to get rid of the little circle i have on my screen in Next launcher, when i touch it it opens up what i assume are shortcuts, Lock screen, Favor, Touch, Switch and Home, i have been through settings but can't find anything. thanks.

 

[Mark Zagotti]

I am new to the launcher discussion and I have a question, can you have multiple scenes as you do in htc Sense? I am looking to use a launcher on my tab since I am not a huge Touchwiz fan.

A big thank you to everyone in this thread there is a ton of good information here. Right now I am looking at either Nova or apex.
