Launchers are very subjective, right now I am still on stock TouchWiz launcher, waiting to see what comes of Chameleon Launcher, I read it here Chameleon Launcher coming to smartphones, Nexus 4, Galaxy S3, Galaxy Note 2 owners and other testers wanted and while this one is for the tablet they are working on an Android Phone version as well.

You can also check out a mod by Beanstown106 over at XDA-Developers.com in the Verizon GN2 section for a 5x4 Launcher Mod.

I use Nova Launcher. Love it. I just set Google Now to open by swiping up from the dock.

I will have to check out Nova launcher again, its been quite some time.

I loved nova launcher but switched to all Apex recently for no particular reason.

Love this glass theme and the ability to hide the navigation bar (swipe down anywhere and it opens it)

Pretty slick! Do launchers eat up any more ram or memory than touchwiz?

I kinda dig the Atom Launcher. Very light and innovative with all the advanced features included for no additional fee.

It doesn't have as many themes yet, but it's a solid fresh choice.

I'm thinking of trying the Nova Launcher does it eat up the battery?

 

[ManBearPig618]

Not at all

Nova is simple and sweet.

I have been using Next Launcher the last couple of days and I have never been so amazed by an android app. It is a very expensive app, but I have most all of the paid launcher versions and this one is the smoothest and most fun of all. The animation is amazing. It is similar to tsfshell but not as cluttered and more intuitive. It is heavier than apex and nova but seems good on battery. Next launcher is from go launcher and just came out on the 7th so its not feature packed as others but the potential is there.

Just got a Note II and am overall loving it, but the one thing I'm not loving is the 4x4 icon grid. It just looks too "low-res" for me. I assume I can fix this with a launcher, but can anyone tell me which one?

Also, will a new launcher break multiview or the S-Pen gestures?

Yes, you can. Apex and Nova allow you to change the grid size on your homescreens.

Also, will a new launcher break multiview or the S-Pen gestures?

No, it will not. I am using Apex, and still use multi-view and S-Pen features. Not an issue.

 

[genlyai]

Awesome, thanks!

 

[lpt2569]

Awesome, thanks!

No problem! Enjoy!

One thing i don't like about Nova that has me using Apex......too often I get stuck simply scrolling from one screen to the next. I can easily flip screen to screen on any other launcher I've used but this one acts stubborn for me. Takes more effort...you gotta keep your finger on the screen longer or your pages won't flip. Speed wise I see no difference. Btw I have the paid versions of both.

Completely agree about the Nova launcher scrolling issue. It acts the same way on ever phone and tablet I use. That's the only reason I don't use it much anymore.

I had been using Nova because Touchwiz just isn't my thing but I am always up for new things and saw Next Launcher just released by the Go Dev team and it is pretty dang cool. Transitions and animations are smooth as butter and it has a free grid for app placement and widget resizing. It's early on in development but I'm definitely looking forward to updates!
