How many of you are still using the Maxx's stock launcher or have already replaced it with a 3rd party launcher like Nova. I like the stock launcher, but eventually moved on to Nova since I get more organization and options using Nova, ie. folders in the app drawer and multiple docks.
 
I moved to nova for 5x4 layout and infinite scroll. This battery and nova together is near perfection

Moved to custom launchers. I change launchers more than underwear. Trying a two-screen Action Launcher approach right now.

Nova here as well with a 6x4 desktop grid. Love it!

Haven't tried nova or go launcher on this phone. I really like it the way it is. I may add an app like multiple wallpaper so I can have one fixed background and the icons move like a tablet.. I don't like having a long picture that just slides when I change screens

Well I like the Razr M launcher due to the settings menu being to the left. It is so easy to get to it I installed the launcher and home screen config but still can't get the gps to turn on or off without fc the home screen. Also the battery circle does not update it gets stuck on charging even when unplugged or doesn't show charging when plugged in. I think it is a problem because it needs to be a system app which we can't do without root. I hope we get root.
 
Keeping mine stock for now

Nova 6 x 5 icons.

I wish I could use the droid command center but I need the nova settings

Is the stock launcher for cyanogenmod available in the app store? I like its grid setup better other than that I like all functions of the stock maxx launcher

Nova. I tried to go without it, but I'm too used to the amazing functionality.

ADW.EX launcher 100%

I'm going to keep stock on for now but I'm sure I'll go back to Nova. Changing my launcher keeps the phone fresh for me. On my Note 2, it was a must because well... touchwiz.

I hated Touchwiz as well on my Note 2. I just felt like that it just bogged down the system over time. I'm happy with what Motorola has done with their new phones; my Maxx runs smooth and lag free, especially the case with Chrome.

Is there a way to import the stock launcher set up into Nova? This has always been an option on past phones but for some reason its not showing up here.

Doesn't look like it. Nova has options to import from a bunch of launchers, but it doesn't look like MotLauncher is one of them. When I go to the Nova import options on my Maxx right now it lists Apex and ADW (both currently installed) but no Moto launcher. On my S3 it lists Trebuchet as an option to import since I put CM on it.
