Go launcher vs Nova vs Apex vs Adw

Hey I am currently running Nova Launcher Prime but am bored of it. What do you guys think of Go launcher and why?
Also Go compared to the other launchers as well, is Apex just as customizable?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

I have used go launcher before and it has been slow and a resource hog. Apex is fine but very similar to nova. Right now
I'm using the same thing you are nova prime its clean fast reliable I say keep it just apply a theme or something

For me Holo Launcher HD is best battery and function wise.

nova launcher prime is best/fastest imo

I'll talk for my very own self here. But I think ADW Launcher EX is the best of them.
It is HIGHLY customizable and fast. And there is a real BUNCH of themes for it.
I would recommend anytime =P

I might be wrong but isn't nova now capable of using ADW's themes or at lease some parts of it?

Nova or Apex IMO. Both are really close to each other.

Am I missing something? This is a custom rom, not a launcher? Thought we were comparing launchers?
I use Nova too.. Been using it a long time but I also bought and tried many of the others too. I just wanted something light that has some decent features. I may look around at some others at some point..
Regarding the rom, I just wanted to give oy done time seeing as the nex 4 is so new. I figure in another few weeks I will start trying some roms depending on what improvements they are showing with battery life and performance and mainly stability.

If you use nova make sure to look for the beta version it is more optimized for 4.2 and makes a difference. You can get it from the nova launcher settings

Holo launcher
I too am using holo launcher on my gingerbread device and it works great. Neither does it hog too much resources nor drains the battery and also provides ics 4.0 experience. A must have definitely...

Nexus 5 stockish look

The kitkat easter egg is actually just a logo, so I took it and did a quick and dirty cut and paste to create these. Kept them in PNG format, so no image quality is lost in the process.
Don't know if anyone will fancy the black version, but it may work for AMOLED screens. For other colors just use the Gallery's editor to change the hue.
Note: They look best if you use Google Launcher to set the wallpaper in portrait mode. Also Nova Launcher have the ability to set wallpapers in portrait mode.
The 'square' version is for pre-KitKat devices, which tends to crop the image as a square.

[Apk] Yahoo weather with 4.4 Status Bar Icons

I've always been picky about my weather apps and how the temp icons look in the status bar. So I figured I would share what I've always played with being that it's a free app.
(I also have Holo Blue as well if anyone wants it.)
Install
Should be able to install like any normal apk. If not, copy and paste to data/apps and reboot.

Yeah. Just the status bar icons have changed. Most weather apps status bar icons are hideous. I originally used the blue icons from Eye In Sky. They are the only ones I've seen that look half way decent.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Is there any way to change the font to match the stock clock font? Also, can the resolution be any higher? Appreciate the work!

You would have to find a set of icons to match the clock font and then edit the 120 or so icons yourself to then match the color. As far as higher resolution, these are XDPI which was the highest available within the app they were pulled from. Once XXDPI becomes available in the app I pulled the png's from, then I'll add them. But what you see is what you get basically. If you can find better icons and want to edit them, I'll be more than happy to add them.

Great Job Fuzzy. I have a question for everyone though since I can't seem to find the answer anywhere - does anyone know the refresh interval for this app? It's very difficult to find if at all even possible.

That's a good question. I honestly don't know. It's always right I know that. It refreshes upon opening but written the phone is asleep I'm not sure. 30 minutes is usually the norm.
So after going back and looking, you can see the update time in the notification. So you can let it manually refresh and then see how long it took.

Hello,
I downloaded from the mirror link and the icon is purple, how do you make it transparent?

My icon is blue.

Screenshot so I can see?
As y'all can tell by the screenshot in the op, they are supposed to be white so I'm not sure what is wrong.

NICE!!! Very cool. I also am very picky. Installed and all good

Thanks for creating this mod. I was revisiting weather apps to see which one is best at the moment. I thought yahoo weather was probably the best for me until I saw the purple notification icons. I was just about to uninstall but thought I'd do a quick Google search first... Glad I did!
There's an update of the app on the play store from a few days ago, any chance of an update?
Thanks

Think you may have misinterpreted what I meant all I was saying is that this mod has solved the only problem I had with the original app and saying thanks.
I was also mentioning that the app has been updated on the play store, as people may not be aware.

Advanced Power Menu - Working Great
XBlast - Working partially (battery modding doesn't work here on stock odex rom)
Basically every Battery module i've tested is failing,anyone else can confirm?

I was so excited and then found out that GravityBox dosen't work :/
What mods I am looking for:
1) changing songs with long press vol buttons and locked screen - XBlast Tools works
2) more toggles (rotate and flashlight) - ???
3) Pie Control - ???
So is there any module that could solve 2 and 3?
