What's the impact of having two launchers fully loaded on my TFP?
I'm trying to decide between Nova Launcher and Apex Launcher. I've loaded both with 5 screens stocked with widgets and apps. I don't seem to be having a problem switching between the two but I might be missing some other impact others have experienced.
Currently, I'm using Nova Launcher since it allows me to use more of the screen.
Shouldn't be any issue.
There's a program that will let you switch between Launchers, but I can't remember the name.
If you install a 2nd launcher and don't choose one as the default, you'll simply have to specify which launcher you want to go to, every time you choose Home.
I wanted to install and use the Google Now Launcher in my Moto E... But the fact is, After I set it all up, I have noticed 2 things:
a) It takes up a huge amount of RAM
b) The transition from the app drawer to the Home Screen is really, really choppy (laggy)
My question is : Is this a problem with my device or some problem related to the launcher itself?
(I have also used the Nova, Aviate and Apex Launchers before... But they have all been smooth like the stock Launcher)

Install Link2SD app and move some apps to the SDCARD to free up space, then install the google launcher now, I did it and ran well, to make this you need rooted.
Google Search version 4.0 doesn't have this issue, as the transition from home screen to app drawer and vice versa is smooth. But the only catch is that, as Google Search version 4.0 is only released with Lollipop, installing it in 4.4 unrooted ROMs would make your OK Google search hotword not working anymore. So have to disable OK Google hotword or it keeps crashing. If you don't mind that, then its a prefect launcher.

ya those transitions are really laggy..but those will be fixed in lollipop.!
BUT WHERE IS THAT UPDATE MANNN..!!AM FRUSTRATED NOW
I am downloading Google Search v4... along with the L Launcher...
But the catch is, my phone is not rooted...
So I'll try and disable "Ok Google" and find out.
Thanks everyone
I am using google now launcher w/o OK google and average 450 mb free ram.No lags.
I am really very impressed with Nova Launcher 3.3.
You will experience lollipop ui on your Alpha.

Can one or has a TouchwizHome.apk for the 5x5 icons in a column.
Can provide my normal TouchwizHome.apk Deodexed.
resource friendly launcher
i'm on 4.4.4 g850f galaxy alpha and i use for about 3 months apus launcher
i have tried all possible launchers but returned to this one because is the most fluent and the less resource consummer
with this i have only around 600 mb ram used, with touchwiz 800-1200 mb used, nova launcher 800-1000 mb used, holo launcher around 800 mb, etc.
battery lasts 2 days with 5h screen on, wifi on but only in this 5h of navigation, some calls and 1h of fatal fight(game) of course
pluses about apus launcher:
- nice icons (real life theme)
- no app drawer, all are on screenwindows, like on ios - maby this is the cause of resource friendly
- rapid access to all apps
- apps are sorted in folders by default but you can rearrange them as you wish
NOTE - i promote this launcher because simply i like how it works on my SG Alpha, on my other phone (LG G2) i use the stock launcher wich is great
link here to my screenshots - http://postimg.org/gallery/n6l63qmu/
thank you
I've been using Apus for a while but I started to get annoyed about the popups. Does it have to remind me every night at 10 PM to go to sleep?
I found no way to remove that feature.
Then I found out about Hola Launcher (not Holo)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hola.launcher
It is very similar to Apus, has no popups, very clean and light interface, small memory footprint.
Also has some pluggable features, like the icon badge plugin, if that's your thing.
here are a couple of screenshots of my phone
For me, the best launcher is the Smart Launcher Pro 3.

So Hola is better than Apus?
Damn I didn't know Nova also uses that much RAM.....
Nova Prime launcher is without any doubt the best launcher not only for Alpha but for all the android smartphones. It is the most stable launcher ( 0 crashes in 4 years use with 4 smartphones ) , the most clear launcher ( Apex is also clear) with zero bloatware and has serious customization. The majority of others launchers targets on users who want special scrolling effects, ready themes, widgets and auto customization. Nova and Apex are like two solid metallic spheres and the other launchers are like plastic spheres with birds, flowers, cars, butterflies and blah blah blah on them.
The worst problem with custom launchers on 5.0.2 firmware is this problem:
1) Open few apps
2) Go to recent apps
3) Press clear all
Result - launcher will be restarted (full redraw, back to default screen) there is no such problem with default launcher or with 4.4.4 firmware with any launcher.
I have written to samsung support about it, but they just tell me that they don't test 3rd party launchers at all and this is a problem of 3rd party devs, but actually it is in samsung firmware definitely.
Next Launcher 3D is the best launcher ever for Android

You can try this here: [ROM]
[ you can download rom at freaktab because I can not post link unfortunately because I am new to XDA ]
Or I could send you the launcher from a H96 Max +
I reloaded with the most current of ROMs and had no problem with launchers. I use Nova Launcher just fine. I had to remove the Wireless Update program because of the malware and trojan it has inside of it. Rebooted to recovery. Wiped the system and cleared cache. Rebooted. Loaded Nova Launcher. From there everything else was downhill.
H96 max plus, can not install other launcher.
H96 max plus ,
Android 9.0
Security pach:- December 2018
Play Store : Mobile version.
Default luncher can not show android TV apps in app drawer.
And can not install other launcher from Play Store and outside.
Please help.
Thanks in advance
Try Google Now Launcher. Nothing else works
Like the title says, it seems some sites are now offering BL unlock codes for the Mate 20 Pro. Can my LYA-AL10 (I *think* it's the Chinese version) be unlocked and rooted?
Also, if I root my phone, will I be able to perform the below tasks?
- set default launcher to Nova Launcher instead of EMUI
- flash a custom rom from the dev section
- Have face unlock work for logging into websites etc...?
I have the same phone and can run Nova without issue.
What roms in Dev section?
I'm using Nova launcher with all my devices since 2012.
With Mate 20 Pro I have 2 issues and I can't understand if they are Nova launcher related or they are EMUI/Huawei's issue.
1) Whenever I unplug the device either the homescreen or lockscreen wallpaper changes to default, and
2) after unplugging the device I can't use Google companion page. I have to run Nova settings, tap Integrations and then Nova Google Companion option. After that Google Companion page is activated.
I have to do this every time I unplug the device!!!!

Just recently got a Mate 20 pro and it surprised me Nova installed(w/ companion app) without a single issue. I normally run Rootless launcher but that wouldnt run. I did nothing special. Hopefully you guys figure it out.
I did own a Mate 20 and Mate 20x when they all first released and had nothing but issues then with nova.

How...? That's strange because the option to change default launcher to Nova Launcher is not there where it's supposed to be. And yes I do have Nova Launcher installed. That's really strange especially if you're using the same phone. Maybe different software versions?
As for the ROM, I believe there's only 1 or 2, so not many choices, but it's better than what I have now (A lot of "Hi-" apps that show irrelevant Chinese apps, inability to change default launcher, etc....)
It's a shame because the hardware is the best I've ever used, I've never found a phone I've liked better than this
