Switching from TouchWiz to Nova Launcher.

But doesn't nova eat up more battery?

Not that I can tell so far...

I've used Nova periodically. It seemed faster. But some claim it's actually slower because it's an overlay on TouchWiz. Got me.

See, I can't understand how will being overly on TouchWiz because on my package disabler application I actually disable TouchWiz launcher completely.

I don't think it loads both.

I don't think who ever claimed that knows what overlay mean.

For those who want integrated google now cards in nova:

Quick question. I just installed Nova on my s8 to try it, and Google Now is an option in the gestures menu. It seems to be working fine. Is there something else I need to add? (I've never used Google Now before, so I don't know what to compare it to.)

If it's working as you want then nothing is needed. I remember when I used it that I'd have to install the other app mentioned in the link to get it to be integrated into the launcher with a swipe to the right.
