What launcher will you use on your S8?

[amyf27]

It will also be Nova Prime.

I tried 2-3 other launchers and IMO Nova is the best.

I haven't tried other ones-i go back and forth with Nova and stock

I think they mean ability to hide the Notification Bar on Nova. This is the usual culprit for screen burn-in.

That's been the usual culprit because Samsung phones have always had physical buttons instead of a nav bar. Now, you can expect to see ghosts of the nav bar buttons as well.

Currently using Action Launcher 3 with Meteor Swipe to quick launch from any screen. I'm going to try the Samsung launcher because it looks very similar to Action Launcher. I'm curious as to whether the edge apps work from any screen or just the home screen.

I've never had a Samsung phone so I'd have to evaluate the stock launcher. After that, if it works, it works, and if not, either BlackBerry Launcher (familiar) or Nova (the popular one).

So i went and switched back to touchwiz on my S7 edge, just to test it out. Need to jump more into it and see what settings i can change up.

they work from any screen (at least they did on the note 7)

What about Apex? Has anyone tried that?

 

[m3lover1]

Nova for sure

I honestly feel like an outcast using Buzz Launcher. It seems like everyones go-to is either the very popular Nova Launcher, or Action Launcher. I kind of feel like Themer was an underdog launcher before it's development haulted. Don't get me wrong, Nova Launcher and Action Launcher are both great, I just feel like nobody knows about the seemingly underrated Buzz Launcher...

 

[Mr Mendelli]

What are thoughts on C Launcher, GO Launcher, or Evie Launcher?

 

[TabGuy]

Nova Prime!

Ditto

 

[BratPAQ]

Nova, I would sometimes use Buzz launcher or Next 3d if I want an eye candy launcher. but i always go back to Nova for efficient, fast and simple launcher.

If stock launcher sucks, ill prob switch back to Action launcher.

 

[statsman42]

I'll run with the native one for a while. After all, if we just install Nova on every phone, we start to lose what makes Android cool - that the experience is different per device. I'm coming back to Samsung after going with LG the past couple of years (largely because I hated TouchWiz). I like the much less bloated approach they seem to be taking with the S8, so the least I can do is use it for a while.

I'm using g the stock Samsung launcher. It is pretty dang good.

Nova it is.

 

[queenren]

Stock because I like some of the Samsung themes available. I switch to Nova when I get bored of that.

Anyone using Nova...Do the edge apps still work?

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