Launchers

[Rule9]

I recently wanted to dip my toe in the water of other launchers besides the two biggies: Nova and Apex. So I installed Smart launcher on my tablet and love it. Tried it on my phone though and not lovin' it so much there because it doesn't support widgets on the main homescreen other than clock replacements. They use a dedicated widget screen for any other widgets. And Dashclock which is my widget of choice right now got squished using SL on my phone. Hope they fix that because if they do I'll switch launchers on my phone as well.

Another thing I've been hearing lately is that Apex has pulled slightly ahead of Nova now for speed and responsiveness. Anyone else noticed this? I was tempted to try that new Aviate but I kind of like my screens to stay the way I set them to be. How about you folks, what are your favorite launchers, and why do you like them?

My favorite is Apex. Even when I have Nova set to "Aggressive" whenever I kill my apps it stutters before going back to the homescreen. Not an issue with Apex

I try every new launcher but always end up back with Adwex launcher

I've been with Nova Prime for a year now on my phone but also have had Apex periodically. Right now I'm with Apex because Nova's lost their speed lately

I have tried other launchers, but I always come back to Nova Prime. For me it's the smoothest

NOVA is amazing!

I used nova the most of them all but the last couple updates they've lost their smoothness compared to apex
