Note 4: Which Launcher Do you use? Why?

[Android D]

Was using Nova Free version all this time!

Read about ppl praising Nova prime, so I got it and giving it a go...So far, NO COMPLAINS!

Nova Prime. It's very flexible and customizable and performance with it is always great.

I have truly tried almost every launcher out there except the windows ones.
Currently I amusing the newest Apex. Pretty good and snappy.
Favorite. Next launcher but it takes forever for me to set it right.
Nice change up is SSLauncher. It is definitely different
If I wanna go all out plain I get circle launcher. Just see the wallpaper.
TSF is pretty cool too. Nice animations and tricks.
I switch all the time to keep it fresh but 3D mode in Next has me hooked

Nova Prime...

...So regarding lost functionality from chucking TouchWiz - the one I'm aware of is posting S-Notes to home screens won't work. What else is lost?

Pinning the S-Notes to the home screen is enough reason for me to stay with TW. For me, it is one of the most useful new features of the Note 4 - stylus combo.

I'm really enjoying Apex! It has so many options.

I like it better! Especially the multiple docks.

Nova allows multiple docks, too. That's the biggest reason I don't bother with Touchwiz.

Nova Prime for me. It's been a mainstay of mine for a few years. Every so often I check to see if there is any other launcher that has all the features NP has and is just as smooth. I have not found any and I'm perfectly fine with that. My N4 is customized for complete ease of use and silky smooth operation. Of course, it's customized perfectly for me. When someone else gets my phone they can't figure out where a lot of things are because I've got hidden icons, gestures and tweaks not readily apparent to anyone but me. That's the way I like it.

+1 for Nova Prime.

I tried Aviate a couple of days ago and liked it a lot, but you're right, currently it is limited as far as settings and options. If there's an update with more settings/options I will definitely re-install, but for right now I'm happy with Apex.

I love Apex. I tried them all! This one is amazing.

Nova Prime, love the customization!!!

I've been using Go Launcher for my last three phones, but thinking about returning to TouchWiz. I think the flexibility offered by Go may not be worth the lost functionality.

I am back and forth between TW and Nova Prime. Since I found an app that let's me pick and choose icons for TW, nova isn't much more attractive anymore, especially since you lose the Samsung functions.

What app is that?

What app is that?

It is call Icon Changer Free. Has a red and a green android in the picture.

 

[Robin Hebert]

I just remembered Epic Launcher! I love that one.

I Use Nova Prime. It is just smoother and faster then Touchwiz.

I haven't used TouchWiz in years. I immediately put Nova Prime on my devices. ...from what I read I'm not missing much from not using TW.

Epic is in the same leagues as Nova and Apex

How, because TW will still run on the background..
