Hi guys any suggestion for à good launcher or widget app for Nokia 8 oreo 8.1? Stock rom has not many shortcuts
Thank you.
Maybe nova launcher
Nova or Lawnchair launcher
Nokia 8 unlocked bootloader!
Pear Launcher is worth checking out it is along the lines of Lawnchair.

Also from the play store is Action Launcher and Smart Launcher is your after something that strays a bit further from the standard features.
There are also several decent Pixel launcher ports and mods around with various levels of extra features added in.
Another decent launcher is the BlackBerry launcher as it has some pretty useful features built in like pop up widgets and many many included shortcuts. It's free to try from the play store, or if you search XDA or Google for "BlackBerry Manager" by the developer Cobolt232 you can get it without ads or the subscription requirements (along with all the other BlackBerry apps).
Hi ! the 3D touch feature ( app shortcut on long press) doesn't work if any launcher is applied. Can anyone help?

Nova with seasame shortcut integration. You can even create your own custom shortcut.
Tryout Microsoft launcher from playstore. Cute and thin, not overbloated. First I only wanted to try it out. But then the Microsoft launcher replaced Nova Pro for me really fast and I missed nothing.

Hello everybody,
Since the stock launcher can't hide app's, i have to look for another launcher.
I tried Laucher Pro, but that doesn't look like the stock launcher.
Next i tried Nova launcher, it was almost perfect, only the app and settings icon are next to each other, which is a bummer
There are others i didn't try yet.
So what launcher is everybody using.
And more important why that launcher, and not an other one?
I use ADW ex
None of the others seem to work right with tablets (unless I am missing one).

stock launcher
What is Stock launcher? I searched the market but can't find it!
It it possible to modify the stock launcher so that apps can be hidden?
I use Go Launcher on my Phone, amazing launcher, sadly the HD (tablet) version is nowhere near as good as the Phone version yet. It is in Beta version tho, and they are working fast on it, but for the time being is meh.
Tried almost all other Launchers that you posted there, and there was always something that I really hated from them, and most of them lagged badly when the Prime was in Eco Mode (Stock one does not lag at all, even with Live Wallpapers)
I found out that the one with best Performance in Eco Mode, and allowed to have better transition effects and such was ADW Launcher EX, Stock is still faster, and Im not 100% happy with the App drawer from ADW (Stock one rocks) but since I organized everything using the "HUBS philosophy" I rarely access the App drawer anymore
Some Widgets do not scroll correctly in ADW, if this happens to you, be sure to scroll using 2 fingers and not one (Not sure if it is a bug or feature). This does not happen with all scrollable widgets tho.

I love SPB Shell 3D and it works perfectly on both the TF101 and TF201.
Why I use it,
up to 16 home screens,
drag and drop to rearrange the home screens,
I like and use the specialized widgets ship with the launcher (wish they'd open up the API for those)
Carousel to move quickly from one home screen to a "far away" screen
It's not quite as customizable as ADW but I very much like the look and feel. The only real downside is the $15 price tag, and no free/trial version.

I've used sob mobile shell 3d on prime. I tested it out it is a really good launcher. I love the carousel and the customized widget pages they have that comes with the launcher. then add in the fact you can easily swap or move the different screens around is an added bonus. its a launcher like no other. I may eventually buy it down the road.
has it had any recent updates or does it get updated alot?

I have recently moved to Nova as the stock kept crashing on me and so far I have no complaints about it. Have had no problems with the stock launcher before all the crashing started.

Its the stock launcher but much much more improved
Like the ICS stock browser? Then you shall use "ICS Browser+"
If you like the original ICS stock browser is ICS Browser+ proberly the best browser out the there. Its look like and work like the original browser but adds many handy extra functions. Notice that you can make panel quick controllers with up to three rings and edit them all, as you like !
If you haved use Dolphin Browser you proberly used some plug-ins . I was only missing Dolphin Google Translate plug-in. but with ICS Browser + I instead use Web Translator Pro. Just mark text and touch "share". Then you share with Web Translator and immediately you have the site in a new language.
By PC Magazine selected as one of "The 10 Tastiest Apps for Ice Cream Sandwich" Based on the stock ICS browser, this browser adds many handy extra functions:
* Auto text reflow after pinch to zoom * Option to create extra quick controls (with easy to use quick controls editor. Add up to 3 rings, with extra controls like bookmark page, close other tabs, share etc etc) * Possibility to set the User Agent string * Fine tune quick controls behavior * Option to use volume keys for scrolling * Home button on action bar for tablets * Gesture support. More and more functions will be added along the way.

LAUNCHER
Just stick with SlimKat's SLIM Launcher or NOVA Launcher, which functions nicely with this custom rom. Keep it simple!
Well, there is no such thing as the *best* launcher (unless someone actually developed a launcher called Best). Everyone has its own preference.
If you want to try something new, you may want to take a look at XDA portal, where sometimes launchers news get to be featured. And Jared reviewed three launchers at the begining of the month on XDA TV.
Happy installs!
One Launcher I always seem to come back too is the Smart Launcher or the Zeam Launcher, even though its outdated.
Apex if you use gestures, Nova if you don't.
Launcher3 (if its coming from a custom rom where you can disable search bar ), Trebuchet, SlimLauncher!
Actually I just tried the SlimLauncher and I really really like it!
OT: I think there should be an open source launcher for ALL devices. With those 3 launchers I mentioned we have amazing open source launchers, only problem is if your device doesnt support cm/slimkat etc then your screwed. If you still want one of those you end up downloading hundreds different modded apks or custom roms for other devices, just to find one working ok...
SlimLauncher on PlayStore (or on offical website!) , for all devices, and I could die in peace.
For me, Apex (Pro) with the ability of folders and gestures.
apex launcher is a good one
I've always found Nova Launcher to be the most suited to needs. Versatile and smooth.
guys you should give a try to smart launcher. It got all the options in present in other launchers plus auto categorization: automatically divides apps by personalization, work, settings, social, comunications, media etc...
What about Google launcher with the android m drawer, just download modified Google app apk and you are good to go
I like slim but I feel it could have more features. I have been using nova for about three years now, very customizable
I love lucid

Ya I tried a bunch of launchers and came back to Slim. Is there a way to backup the layout?
I always prefer open source apps so SlimLauncher is fine.

I dont think there is. You could always try one of the many backup apps that also save user data, feg. the backup tool in es file explorer, but probably it will be less work to just set up the launcher from scratch again
I also like SlimLauncher. It's small and very usefull.

well, ive been using lucid launcher for a long time now and i love it. its lightweight and got all features i need...until now. so now im looking for a launcher (lp 5.1.1) that has the ability to change individual icons on my homescreen. also i need it to be very lightweight..dont want to compromise with battery life..thanks
Nova launcher is a good choice.
Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
I've had a good experience with smart launcher 2, I used to use nova and it is good too
but nova launcher is pretty heavy right?
Are you talking about the power consumption?
I use it on my S5 and I can tell you that is more battery friendly than the Touch Wizz.
Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
both battery and ram
ok now ive tried nova launcher too. with lucid launcher i got around 2000mb+ free ram, with nova im around 1500-1600mb free...thats too much
Need Reviews for Our New Launcher
Dear friends,
We have developed a new launcher application in context of an Android project.
As we have decided to distribute the second version (which is still beta) through Google Play, we need some feedbacks (esp. technical and UX).
We believe you, XDA Developers, would be great compasses for us through our way to be one of the best launcher.
You can check our latest version by typing "Snapp Launcher" in Google Play search bar.
Thank you and Best regards.

im using nova launcher pro version. Superb and love it!
Nova launcher pro... No question ask
The New Hyperion Launcher Pro it is. it´s from the substratum devs, has all i need looks great and has awsome customization!

How to set a permanent launcher so that it does not change on the vivo launcher ?
I was previously using Yandex launcher and will say it is best but recently switched to smart launcher bcz for larger screens it makes easy to show icons/options towards lower portion so easy to click using thumb.

You need to get a vivo account which requires a chinese phone number you can get at onlinesim.ru/en for a few cents (paypal possible). After adding the vivo account in the account menu in settings you can activate "allow the launcher to be replaced" in more settings / security and then change it at security / device manager and reboot.
But I don't know if this is necessary in the global version... Does anyone know?
P.S.: Here is a video describing how to change launcher: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOCLSUugXf0
No, this procedure is not required for the global version.
You can replace the stock launcher without any problem.

I installed the rootless pixel launcher from the play store and it only worked for a few hours and now will not load? I have the Global version of Nex S.
Update: After deleting and reinstalling and rebooting it seems to be holding fine.
Hi. I cannot use klwp with more than 1 page. Wallpaper scrolling doesn't work on different launchers. I've trying use force scrolling in nova launcher but it crashes this launcher. Any suggestions? I'm using huawei mate 20 pro.
It all works fine
there is a tricky way to make it all work.
First - Set you default launcher to Huaweis own. Longpress and set the amount of screens you want
Second - Set your prefered launcher and set the same amount of screens as you did in Huaweis launcher
Third - In Nova, go to "Home Screen" and look for the box "Scroll". I've set it to "Wallpaper scrolling ON" and Force Wallpaper Scrolling.
Now.. Go in to Huaweis theme section and set a normal wallpaper. When you choose this, in the bottom of the page with you new wallpaper you'll see an option to use wallpaper scrolling.. Do that!..
Load up KLWP and choose your desired wallpaper and it should work.
Let me know if you need more help!

I cannot do that. Nova is always crashes like this video
