In need of launcher with no ads & doesn't drag my phone

Welcome to the forums. Try Nova Launcher. Start with the free version and if you like it consider buying the Prime version to get full access to new options. You won't regret it.

Mod note. Thread moved to the LG G6 forum for better visibility.

Welcome to the forums! My first thought was Nova Launcher, as well. I've heard many good things about it.

I have an LG V20, and I'm using Nova Launcher Prime on it. I've used Nova on all my Android devices, including those that ran stock Android.

I'm a huge Action Launcher fan. Been using it for 3 years.

Action Launcher is a good one too!

I've really come to like the default launcher with no app tray, and the awesome LG weather widget doesn't seem to work with nova, so I'm sticking with stock for now. One thing I really like about the stock launcher is that it lets you keep the desktop clean by hiding icons you don't use or can't uninstall.

Nova all the way. You can't go wrong with it. Been using it for years.

I need a launcher that have support do LGs doble tap to lock/wake the phone.. unfortunaly I havent found one yet. Those that have doble tap to lock asks for pin to unlock, so it makes the fingerprint scanner useless.

Nova launcher. You have to change screen lock methods from device admin to screen timeout for double tap to work.

That timeout thing just turn the screen black. It locks after five seconds so it sucks!

That's the only way any launcher can support knock. Otherwise, you're stuck with stock. It's part of Android security since launchers are third party apps.

You don't need to lock the phone with back button. You can set gestures to have the screen lock on double tap.

Yes you can. Just change the lock method to time out. It won't lock the screen immediately but you'll end up with basically the same thing in practice.

Another vote for Nova Launcher. And yes, it will do the double tap for lock and unlock, only thing is for locking you have to double-tap up around the notification shade area, doesn't work anywhere else on the screen. A minor inconvenience but it does work. I use it all the time.

I just think the time out thing its so anoying.. this whole thing sounds a little bit buggy to me, with the stock i can do the unlock with fingerprint and lock with doble tap quiqly and fluidly.. I love the customizations of nova, but im more interested in usability than cool desings.
