Switched from Apex and are quite happy with my decision, seems to be a little more responsive with more frequent updates and better interface. Also the ability to change the speed of the animations is a very neat feature.
Ein launcher verändert die oberfläche des handys . Er verändert das ganze erscheinungs bild zb. Den hindergrund oder die apps ansicht oder wenn mal eine seite umblättert
there's no mistaking its speed, but there isn't much customization vs GO. GO is slower and takes up more space, but I'm really missing all my GO widgets. No calendar, messaging, contacts widgets. boooo. fast though
try next... is made by the same dev team as go, but butter smooth and Ninja speed... however is brand new right now and no new icons... but I promise you have seen nothing like it
let it go. bloaty, busy and way too silly for me. I have tried almost all launchers I could find and I always come back to nova. nova prime 2.0 is the real deal.
I bought Nova Prime and used it for a while but I didn't like how hard it was to create folders in the app drawer. I hate all the icons just spread out everywhere. I find organizing them in folders makes it easier for me to find apps when I need them. GO is still the best for me.
It's big and slower yes but the organization makes up for the time I would otherwise spend flicking pages looking for the particular app I need. I'll take slow over frustration anytime. Still waiting for a fast & fluid version of GO. I was hoping to get that with Next Launcher.
I wouldn't pay for this software as I already bought another apple from Teslacoil (QuickSSHd) and no update since more than 2 years.
Really not fair for paid users, Nova will go without me ;-(
There was betas also while QuickSshd's developing.
The fact is Teslacoil are known to stop support whenever they want. You can't be confident about support.
I just purchased the Prime version and discovered that widgets cannot be put into a drawer without root and Apex Launcher has that feature with the free version arrgh!! Though I don't think Apex is as feature rich, with creating folders and drawers and gestures
yeah, with the recent update, nova has more customization features that was missing on apex... plus the fact that majority of custom rom devs are into nova already speaks much of it

linkNova is the best if you like customization. Does everything better.
linkWell.. The amount of customization are pretty similar, but Nova does it better.

linkAgreed I'd used a lot of launchers and this by far is the best.
linkI'm going to give nova a go. I love the speed. I just downloaded android pro widgets and go sms because I don't like the stock sms app
linkI use go launcher hd on my tablet and next launcher on my phone. I have tried some other launcher, but for me the DEV TEAM (dev.) is the one and only.
linktry next... is made by the same dev team as go, but butter smooth and Ninja speed... however is brand new right now and no new icons... but I promise you have seen nothing like it
linkI use Go as well but also been toying around with Apex. Have you given it a shot?
linkFor my phone apex is much faster and smoother. It also has more features. Running with APW widgets, all good.
linkI tried apex but it kept freezing on me so I'm giving nova a good try. I tried next too.. I like it but I'll wait till it's more developed.
linkNova Launcher I am using now. It's not as laggy as Go Launcher and I like the options
linkNova 2.0 is coming soon and I've heard that it's going to have a lot more customization options
linkcool! Ya nova is good. does anyone else notice their continuous input on their Samsung keyboard is greyed out since installing nova?
linkhave you trued hollow launcher? it's really fast and small size.
linkNo I haven't. but I will right now! Thanks!
linkI'm still stuck on GO. :-( Seriously, it's like I just...can't...let... GO! *wah-wah-waaaaaahhhh* Sorry, had to.
linkgo go go
linklet it go. bloaty, busy and way too silly for me. I have tried almost all launchers I could find and I always come back to nova. nova prime 2.0 is the real deal.

linkdon't you find that go is too big and slow though?
linkI am trying TSF LAUNCHER now and by far it's the best Launcher I have ever used. Options galore... It's pricey as heck but it's solid
linkN e x t . . .

linktsf is great but so expensive!
