Hey guys,
Please recommend me some apps for my Lenovo K1
What would you guys think would be the best launcher for my tablet ? I know there is Nova Launcher and Apex Launcher, but I've only used them on phones. Which launcher is really good for a tablet ?
Also, I am going to install AdAway. It seems to be one of the best adblockers around
Also, any battery savers worth checking out ?
What else would you guys recommend ?
Thanx a lot in advance for any info

Anyone using Buzz Launcher, care to share your thoughts on the launcher?
Looking to try some thing different after years of the same old type of launcher (Apex, Nova etc). As much as those launchers are great, it's always nice to see something different on our N4 phones.
Does it play nicely with Android 4.3 and 4.4?
Any other hints and tips to get the best use out of Buzz Launcher so it integrates nicely with the rom (I'm using AOKP 4.2)?
Thanks.
Hey all, I have a pretty noob question:
I am not quite keen on rooting by brand new G2 just yet, but im looking for a bit more customization. My question: will using an android launcher like nova launcher or go launcher have any adverse effect on the stock features of the G2 like Qslide?
Thanks in advance!

Qslide wont be there anymore, but thats my guess, you can try it and then change it back by going into settings or just simply uninstall nova or whatever android launcher you have and it'll default back to LG launcher

Hey buddy man, if you switch launchers qslide will still work and system settings still apply but things like knock on will only work on the status bar and not on launcher
I´ve made this thread so people can discuss here about the 3 tablets:
8.4, 10.1 and 12.2 !
Which apps are u using on your Galaxy Tab Pro?
Which launcher are u using?
Or do you want to share something?
I´ll start :
I buyed my Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 WIFI last week and i love the device because it´s so cheap !
It works like a charm !
Only the annoying noise is annoying
But i move my mind over it
I´m using the following launchers recently:
Modified Stock Launcher
SPB Launcher ( 10,45$ )
Google Now Launcher
I just love the stock launcher the most, i have a modified one so it´s fast enough
If you want something else and you have money then i recommend buying SPB Launcher
SPB is old but gold, it is a really famous launcher a couple of years ago.
But i installed it on my 8.4 and it's not perfect for tablets you can better go with modified stock launcher or Google Now Launcher .
SPB is well the beautifulst launcher for phones .
I was using Google Now launcher on my 8.4 because i thought it was better for battery but i feel more connected with the tablet while using stock launcher so i searched for a faster one and i found the modified one in the 8.4 apps section here on XDA !
Then i had to find a way to make my battery better so i tried a combination of greenify and wanam exposed
In greenify i greenified all the apps except tapatalk and i applied boost mode and some other little settings and in wanam exposed have i enabled benchmarking boost that is originally for antutu benchmarking test but it makes your device a beast and in combination with greenify will it not affect your battery
Now i will also going to flash that beast mode kernel to make it even more a beast
Cheers!
And now it´s your turn!
Got a tab 8.4 wifi for almost a month. Rooted and installed lite pRom with beast kernel. Using google now launcher. Been using it mostly for gaming(brave frontier and coc) and checking mails. I really like this tab except that wifi drops if you hold it in the lower left corner. Sucks to be right handed.

I'm also right handed but i have no problems with wifi drops at lower left corner like everyone else has.
My 8.4 is randommly dropping wifi and even disconnects here
But i love this tablet anyway

Yup, the tab pro is cheap but the hw is powerful.
The wifi behaved just as described but not 'disconnecting'.
I am still using the stock launcher with quite a number of unwanted apps being frozen..including the magazine. I'm quite satisfied with the speed now.
I had install the nova and it's good for phone but I felt the stock launcher could be more appropriated for a tablet.
Just want to know why the spb ?

Why would galaxy tab pro discussion in a galaxy tab pro forum be off topic?

who uses the stock Magazine UX launcher on their Tab Pro? Do you use the tile widgets to access information? I'm not a fan of Magazine UX, but I don't hate either. I want to see if I'll get used to it, or learn to like it. I see alot of negative comments, but zero positive ones. I figure if I wanted an AOSP style device, I should've got an AOSP device. My previous tablet was a Nexus 7 (2013). I own a 2012 N7 and used to own a N4, plus I used AOSP ROMs on my S4 before. I think AOSP is too plain/boring. Magazine UX is cumbersome, but it's different. I'm rambling. My question is: Do you use the Magazine UX and how do you use it?
Got my tab pro 8.4 a mont ago and since them I'm using Cyanogenmod 11 with nova laucher.
I really hate touch wiz and samsung android modifications, so I bought just to use cyanogenmod

Good choice bro, i'm also using this ( CM11 ) now for enjoying Theme engine.
Themes are really beautiful on the 8.4 !
I highly recommend Nova or Apex when you're using icons and Google Now Launcher when you're don't using custom icons

I really like the stock launcher but i've switched tot cyanogenmod because of the thousands of beautiful themes available .
In the Magazine UX, once I add various sections, do I need to refresh them constantly, or do they update with new content like it does with HTC Blink?
My tablet hasn't arrived yet (12.2 Pro) so I'm getting ready for it, to me it seems all the content in launcher would be nice, if it works correctly. What are some other tips you guys can offer?

This was the worst launcher I have even used. Don't know if new features have added with recent version or not, but when I tried it it was simply pathetic.
My favourite is Nova Prime. Have been using it for over a year now and have no interest/need to move to others.
Apex.
It's the very first app I install after I buy a new device, even if I have to walk 4 kilometres to the nearest Extrablatt to use their WiFi
Nova launcher Prime. Since forever...

Next Launcher 3d Shell has the most vissualy impact on you so try yorself and stay with it for life :good::good:
Hey so I guess you read the title. Can some1 tell me which one of them is faster ? - I mean RAM and battery usage, speed etc. I play quite a lot of high performance games, so which one should I choose? Thanks in advance !
I use Pixel Launcher. No problems.
I use Nova Launcher but also used Evie, just to test it. The search bar is its selling feature. The launcher is decent, but could have some slow responses. I did however notice that Evie showed up in the battery draining apps with 3% usage, something i don't like. Never had a "problem" like this with nova. The stock EMUI launcher is basic yet unusable for me. I like to have an app drawer. I will recommend you to give Nova shot, it is very customizable! To conclude, while Evie is good, it has some minor issues with lag (maybe just phone?) and a little bit more of a battery drain but is good other than that.
Thanks for the replies, but I don't wanna use Nova, even though it's among the best, because it's too complicated in terms of customization and a lot of features are in paid version
So Evie should be faster than stock? I don't mind a little more usage of battery, but I want the speed and not so system - demanding. Thanks in advance!
PS: Any other recommendations ? Something like Evie (I like the minimalistic)

I can't say for for sure but I think in most cases something else is always better than stock.

Faster than stock? I think they are both the same. The point however is not the speed, but the usability and usefulness. While you are not gonna notice that huge of a difference in performance between stock and Evie, you will have 5x the features of stock. With EMUI, most are better than stock. Give it a try. I am also fan of the minimalist look but i also need to squeeze the most out of my battery so i went on to nova. No other minimalistic launcher comes to mind, but a quick google search could prove quite usefull.
Launcher never affect the games and apps performance as I know because when you open an app the launcher will stop until you close that app
Ok thank you guys. So launcher shouldn't affect performance of games? Only features and battery usage are different? Also, anyone who used Evie for a long time? I need to know whether it consumes a lot of battery and RAM usage. Thanks !
I don't like most launchers list the apps alphabetically.
