What launcher will you use on your S8?

[thurask]

Yes. Don't know if they will work with secondary launcher.

I'm running Nova.

I'm running Nova.

Thanks. It's working with Nova for me as well.

Already using Nova.

I had planned on using Touchwiz for a few days, because I THOUGHT I had read Edge Panel didn't work with Nova (or any 3rd party launcher).

Took me about 20 minutes to decide I wanted Nova back.

That's when I I discovered that Edge Panel DOES work.

Will switch between stock, Nova and Evie. Always, no matter what Android phone I use.

Actually holding off on Nova for now. Gonna run stock for a while and see how I like it.

I had planned on using Nova, and I did for a bit, but since Ive become used to have the large clock and weather on my home screen, I cant be without it, and when using Nova, you cannot use the Samsung weather clock widget, lol for that reason Im sticking with the stock launcher........for now

I installed Nova and then realized that I lost the Bixby screen. Not sure yet if I'm going back to stock.

you can still access it via the Bixby hard key on the phone, unless you have reassigned it.........

for most people stock TouchWiz launcher is better choice you can customize your home page easily with Samsung theme store. change icons, phone dialler, quick Toggles, etc. (easy to do, very simple and easy).

Nova can customize Home screen, app drawer, icon's, widgets. you need to learn how to do it by watching YouTube videos.

while the customization of the TW launcher has greatly improved, it still doesnt compare to Nova

Long time Nova user here, but trying hard to stay with Stock and see if I can use it as it is pretty simple and nicer looking than in past. Just struggling with big feature I love from Nova, making a gesture to swipe down to pull down notification shade. Does anyone have any solutions to do this or something like it with the new Stock launcher on S8?

Also it appears you can't put the Samsung weather widget using Nova which is another Bummer, so what are some of the better comparable 4x1 or 5x1 weather widgets to use instead or is there a way to get Samsung weather in nova?

Still going to give stocky launcher a whirl but I set up Nova Prime launcher as well. I am not able to edit the App Drawer icon. Is anyone else having this issue?

 

[Almeuit]

I put Nova on mine right away after it downloaded all the apps .

Agree, I am setting up my Nova now. I tried to make it work but I miss my customization.

I gave Evie a whirl a few days ago and I'm blown away. It's light, snappy, has double tap to lock (without affecting biometrics), swipe up for app drawer from anywhere. It doesn't offer a ton of customization but has everything I need.

I was using Nova Prime now I am using Lawn Chair works great

[mia_xoxo]
