I've started using the Action Launcher. Quite please with it as I feel it brings a few bits & pieces over from Windows Phone which I like when I tried it briefly.
Although it does seem to crash a fair bit, once when I'd finally got it set up how I wanted it.
Question though. I currently have a single homescreen, with the app list swipe to the left and quick swipe to the right. I know I can add another homescreen, but can I make this a full Google Now screen, as per the standard launcher?
I'll post a screenshot once I've finalised everything.
