Nova / Launcher or TW

[DaMaRa1109]

I'm curious about what other edge/S6 users are using for a launcher. I've been off Android for awhile now and am finding TW much better than older versions. Anybody sticking with stock or opting for a launcher and why?

Google Experience launcher is what I use. It looks great on the EDGE with Google now sliding right in from the left.

Tw is just not as fast at nova and nova has more features

Liking TW. Only used nova when I had the droid turbo way to damn stock for me.

I usually use Nova, but with my edge TW launcher hasn't bothered me, actually.... I kinda like it! Especially because I can change the grid size now with TW.

From my s6 edge!

You can do it far better and with more flexibility with Nova.

Agreed. I am a huge Nova fan and have used it for at least 2 years now but I really don't mind the stock experience. I will probably load it back on eventually but I could be quite happy with the current version of TW - at least on this phone.

Nova. Get a widget, resize it to the edges. Disable Padding. Thank me later when you're enjoying the sexiness of swiping between homescreens. drool...

I have to agree with some of the other users comments, I've been a long time Nova Prime user but always give stock launchers a shot. So far I haven't felt the urge to change over to Nova. Like most Android users I get bored easy and Nova allows a ton of customization so we'll see how long I end up sticking with TW.

Seems like GN launcher might be a good move with the edge and the GN dedicated page.

I stay with Nova cause of the "Gestures".

Hey there. Thanks for your comment. I have asked this question on another thread too. My S6 Edge Gold will arrive tomorrow, and was planning on using Nova. Can you set the apps not too close to the edge so you won't inadvertently hit apps on the edge?

I am trying that out now. I usually use 5 columns but seems that may just put them too close to the edge. I tried Touchwiz for about 10 minutes this morning and just cannot use it. I really like using the gestures in Nova. I will keep this thread posted. Worst case I swap the Edge out the the regular, but this phone is just so sharp, I hate to do that. Another great piece of functionality is the tapered screen really helps reach end to end which I like.

This may not be the launcher. I am noticing this in other apps. Seems I may be accidentally hitting the screen. It is occurring when using things such as email and Twitter.

Has anyone gotten the swipe down and pull the notification shade to work? All other gestures work except that one on my edge.
