Nova or TouchWiz?

[MangoPowah]

What is it that so many people like about nova over apex??

Ran both on my S3 and by far Nova was much faster and smoother. Apex had a tendency to stutter when scrolling, and constantly withdrew.

Used and liked Apex on my GS2 last year. Then after a stock upgrade, it started crashing my device. Switched to the free Nova and really liked it. Plus at the time it was optimized for 4.0 while Apex wasn't. Liked it so much I bought Nova Prime. Love it and will be difficult to convince me to switch to anything else.

Yeah, I have the paid version of Nova, Apex & ADW so I can try all their features but keep going back to Nova!

Thanks for the recommendations... After reading this thread I went ahead and downloaded Nova and loved it so much I got the paid version.

What is it about nova you all like so much?? I used it and I guess I just never fell in love with it like most people seemed to have to. Maybe I'm missing something. I still have it on my photon q.

For me personally because it's the only one that supports GLOBAL Badge Notification (since SMS, GMail, Calls aren't enough) which is one of the iOS features I've always liked wishing Android supported it natively so all Launchers could take advantage of it.

"Badge Notifications" are those little red #'s that appear in iOS on an App's icon itself showing how many Notifications that App has (Screenshots are included in that thread's Tutorial).

By default Nova supports red #'s as well as Android blue #'s but installing Themes can add additional colors affecting the #'s too - something iOS doesn't allow.

Yea I read your thread. I may check it out but luckily for me I don't have many times where I have so many notifications I end up getting the little plus sign and having to bring the notifications window down. Although I could say it would increase my ability to respond to important messages as an excuse to spend money ha
