Nova Launcher - HTC Rezound

Can this replacement launcher hide apps from app drawer like others ?
Is it pretty much like ics launcher ?

Blur "Favorite Contacts" Widget In Adw Launcher Ex Bugged

Hey all,
When I run ADW Launcher EX, I try to add the "Favorite Contacts" widget to my homescreen. But it bugs out and the space remains blank. You can interact with it by pressing and holding down and you get the same drop down menu for altering it as any other ADW widget but that's it. And of course the invisible widget takes up space.
Any thoughts on how we might fix it? I'm not a fan of Blur generally but I do think it's a pretty cool widget and wouldn't mind having it with a more fluid launcher like ADW.
Thanks in advance
Same thing on launcher pro. Would also like to use it.

I had been told that widget only works in the stock launcher when I briefly tried another launcher and couldn't get it to work either. I don't know if that's true or not.
Thats true the blur widgets dont play nice with other launchers. A alternative is Android Pro Widgets in the market.

No adw???
Apex?
Zeam?
rosie?
ADW Launcher Ex, until Apex...now I am loving Apex over ADW Ex, for these reasons:
-Folder Styling (Circle/Square/layered etc..) maintains when added to the dock. ADW uses the 3 icons spread out, with a vanilla folder background when added to the dock...(maybe I am missing the folder styling when in the dock?)
-Transition Animation "Card Stack". I am tired of the ADW transitions...card stack is a clean refreshing transition that I am enjoying for now...
-Displaying Visual of Widgets in the App Tray. Fantastic!

No ADW EX?
Probably the best most customizable launcher with the best dev..
Although I like Sense so I voted Rosie
360.....launcher pro used to be my favorite

Trebuchet for me. It's just simple enough.
Edit: Tried Apex and I'm impressed.

My personal favorite is Apex, but since it isn't listed, I voted for Nova, which is also cool.
I've tried Launcher Pro, Rosie (obviously), Go Launcher EX, and Nova. I stayed on Go Launcher for a long time, but I decided to try Nova after seeing that it provided gmail unread notifications on the gmail icon. Nova provides more space on my home screen for my Android Agenda Widget. It also seems smoother and faster than Go Launcher. Thus, I am sticking with Nova for now. I've never tried Apex.
simply the best launcher is GoLauncher EX.

If I were you I'd remove rosie. If you have rosie you might as well add touchwiz and motoblur. I'd stick to 3rd party launchers only...

Nova launcher smoother than Apex?

I initially installed Apex launcher and like the way the settings are organized. And really like that it has the Keep in Memory setting (thought I haven't experienced any redraws with other launchers). However it's not very smooth in a number of ways. Scrolling in the app drawer going right-left, scrolling between homescreens sometimes, opening apps from home screens is often not smooth.
Nova on the other hand seems to be very good, but I'll have to pay to get all the features of Apex Free (which is fine).
Just wondering if anyone else has noticed this behavior with Apex (I've experienced the same on two other S3's).
Well …Liquid smooth on my S3
No lagging, and Apex is is best launcher ever used

Yeah, they both have drawbacks. Nova is indeed smooth, but no dock background and is glitchy with transparent nav bar. Apex, more features, less performance. I'm stuck in a rut, because I want to change my home screen, but I'm afraid I'll have to switch to Apex. Oh well.
>-Sent From Something That's From Somewhere-<
Yes.
I have used both but I like Apex Launcher most because it is more customisable than Nova launcher.
U can also change the icons.

Go Launcher is also an other launcher.
Its amazing.
U may like it.
U can find it on play store.
Here is a screen shot of my home screen having Apex Launcher.

Nova vs Apex vs holo launcher hd vs go launcher

Which is better?
Go. Hands down the smoothest. Although battery sucker.
Sent from my HTC Desire X using Tapatalk
I would say Nova,but the new Beta version.
It's crazy fast (Set the Scroll Speed and Animation speed to "faster then light"),transparent statusbar support (the only launcher that actually made my statusbar transparent ) and has a Kit Kat look. Tons of customization. What more do you need ?
I have 2 launchers for you. First of all is Apex Launcher it's smooth and faster and the second is KitKat Launcher it's great to live KitKat experience.

For me the best is Action Laucher

Haha oh dear here we go again... just go with Apex its light on memory and has all the functions you need.
Plus this belongs in Q&A (just for future reference)

I can't believe you're discussing this...it's all matter of taste, and that's very individual. After all, all of them are free on GPlay, so try it, only you know what suits you best, and it cost nothing.
waking the dead is my thing!
any way....I have been using go launcher. found on accident. It is really neat and I am just starting to understand it fully. Now Im seeing here that apex may take up less memory?

I had Apex.. Once. Then I downloaded Nova Launcher beta and I´m still using it No regrets about it, pretty smooth and easy launcher.
Just my opinion
You should try adw launcher. It is the only one I found that has a categorized app drawer. Makes things soo much more organized. And you can just put folder-like category shortcuts on your homescreen for easy access.
Beautyful transition-effects, great dock customisations... Gove it a try, if you are looking for a new favorite launcher.

Alot of users still see ADW as the boring launcher they used whilst on Froyo or gingerbread, as apex is for ICS

Is there a launcher that allows alphabetical listing in the app drawer like in the samsung touchwiz?
I just installed holo laucher as the first since I bought my GN3 last year. it looks smooth and very customizable as I can finally change the grid's density from 4x4 to more icons in the home screen but I miss that one column list like app drawer from touchwiz
ADW .
ADW launcher EX pro is the best launcher i found for me
it is really awesome , just try it
fast , easy , have a lot of customizations

I installed Nova and I must say I'm pretty impressed so far. I can configure the apps drawer in an alphabetical list style and much more.
One thing I find a little disappointing but that seems to be the same problem for all launchers is that the non resizable widgets are screwed up if I add them to the home screen when the grid size is changed to 5x5 or more

Apex - Nova or ssLauncher?

Apex Launcher
or
Nova Launcher

ssLauncher

Personally, I love Nova Launcher because I don't use a dock and have a two finger gesture to open the app drawer.
I'm using apex launcher. It has tablet mode to hide the dock. Can use gesture. And the most important thing, I can install apex notifier to show notification bubble over the app icon

I just installed nova launcher to compare with apex. Surprisingly, all the nova features are present in apex. On top of that, apex has KitKat style search bar, customizable desktop portrait grid, Apex notifier as mention before, smoother drawer scroll.
I suggest u install both launcher and compare them to see which one u like
Sent from my SM-P605 using xda app-developers app
I have both, but have a slight preference for Apex. There is not much difference between the two. One thing I like about Apex is drawer animations seem smoother.
I have only used Apex and Nova. You can't go wrong. I personally decided to buy Nova. Nova also has a notification bubble addon. Plus widgetlocker is made by the same guy(s) which is a plus.
It doesn't really matter though. Both great launchers. Both free to try out.
You can get Go launcher prime for free at the moment via an In-app code (appsales)
Nova FTW all day EVERY day

I acquired Nova when it was on sale a while ago. Been very happy with it.
Nova
I've being trying them both on the tablet.
Nova seems faster.
You can't go wrong with either. They are both free so give them a try and see what you like better.
