Nova launcher on the GSIII ?

[Floridadomer]

My phone is scheduled to be delivered tomorrow and I have been reading different post in here for about a week now. I have used GO LAUNCHER for a few years now and was debating if I wanted to used it again or give TouchWiz a try.
While I have been very happy with Go Launcher I didn?t want it to end up looking just like my GS2.
I was not familiar with NOVA until I read a post about it a couple of days ago. Has anyone installed it on the S3 and if so, how does it run on the phone.
Do I lose any functionality of ICS by using NOVA? Do I lose any of the built in Widgets?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It works fine. I chose to stick with Go Launcher (with the ICS theme) because Nova does not have the feature for launching programs by swiping up on dock icons. Nova was very fast though.

I have tried just about every launcher in the market, Go included, but did not like anything as much as I liked LauncherPro on my Incredible. With the SG3, I tried Touchwiz for a day but just couldn'get used to it so I installed Nova and Apex and tried them both. Nova seemed to have a nicer layout and was a tiny bit smoother so I bought the full version and I'm running that. It's been great so far, no issues at all. You wont lose any ICS functionality, but you cannot use the stock weather widget that the phone comes with installed. I personally use Fancy Widget and don't miss the stock one.

Nova Launcher does have that feature. That was one of the first things I set up with it.
