Sprint Galaxy S8 Launcher of Choice

Story on this site just showed you can add a Google Now pane to Nova Launcher. This makes Nova a no brainer for me.

Now that Nova can also have the Google Home feed .. Yeah .. Nova even more for me now haha .

I always rock Nova or Apex. Took a break from Apex because of lack of support but they have been pushing updates lately so once they get their notifier on board with Facebook and other notification bubbles, I'll probably go back to Apex.

I absolutely love Nova but god, isn't it about time they update some of the scrolling animations? I want to see something new! The only one I like is Cube. I'd like to see some crazy ones like some other launchers have.

what is the main difference between the 2 in what they can do Nova vs stock thank you....

 

[rdcrds]

So before i buy the Nova launcher can you tell me what the difference is in how they work compared to each other?

There's a refund window. Buy it, try it, if you don't like it get a refund. Easiest way to answer your question. I believe Nova also offers a free install, with limited functionality of course. That's another way you can get the answers you seek. You can also download Google opinion rewards from the play store and eventually come up with the money that way in order to make the purchase. There are options. I see you posed this question a few times here, but you simply can't expect people to sit here and run a list for you, when it's better and easier for you to see for yourself.

Yes, you can double tap the screen to sleep the phone with Arrow Launcher.

True but on the s8 when you double tap to sleep in arrow and then use your finger print to unlock it always asks for you pattern instead of going directly to your home screen. This is the main reason why I uninstalled arrow. Any way around that?

Always used Nova Prime until the S8, but this time I'm using the stock launcher.

Stock launcher at the moment. Samsung finally got it mostly right.

 

[mgbosshogg]

Funnily, just went back to stock from nova.

Although only gave stock long enough to install nova.

Seems Samsung got most of it right this time.

Might go back to nova in a while for a change.

Yea I'm on stock. I've been using the "stock google" launcher (what morphed into Google Now Launcher) since 2011, so I was a bit... worried about the Samsung launcher.

But honeslty... it's fine. Is it perfect? No. But nothing is. It does the job I want it to do.

Stock Touch Wiz.

I do use Nova Launcher Prime and have used it for a long time but I am just fine w/this launcher

Anyone like the pixel launcher? I'm running this one and it's smooth and just like using a Pixel.

I just setup Nova to behave like the Pixel launcher. Works out very well.
