Google Keyboard and Nexus Launcher.
Google keyboard and Google launcher. Both are sufficient for me and keeps to the stock experience. If I was to use another launcher (which I do on my LG G3), Nova all the way. Keyboard...SwiftKey.

Touchwiz is ok but if you want a 'pure Google' experience try using nova launcher. Works great, nice and smooth. Give it a try.
nova or apex. they are the two most popluar stock ics launchers
I received my GS3, rooted, installed TB and restored nova.

Using apex, working awesome!

I was using nova but had some lag when opening and closing the app drawer. Switched to Apex and no problems at all.

Love Nova, but may give Apex a try.
Nova seems to be running smoother for me than apex. Definitely enough to tide me over for some aosp love

i got apex...came from pure ics on my craptivate so touchwiz kinda sucked...it was kinda billed as really close to ics but not so much i think...
apex/nova should make it liveable until we get a nice selection of ROMs
Nova is a nice launcher....now that I've figured out there are two ways to control the speed of it I am much happier with it today than I was yesterday. Yesterday I was just adjusting the "animations" speed, somehow I missed the "scroll speed"....now that I've got that worked out it's much better, even with power savings enabled.
Anyone have recommendations on settings for apex that make the phone feel faster?

I downloaded Nova and Apex both yesterday. So far I think I like Nova better. To be honest though I am not sure why people dislike touchwiz. FWIW though I am new to droid coming from iPhone so the learning curve is there either way. I guess it is what you get used to.
Hi people...im using nova launcher for a long time... in relation the battery is better option using touchwiz? Any another good launcher...?

Well, there are many lauchers out there, in my opinion, Nova/Apex Launcher is the best one, because of it's customizability.
Touchwiz Launcher isn't bad, but there aren't much options to customize it, like larger app grid.
If you want to try a comletely new Launcher, you should try out Themer (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mycolorscreen.themer).
Agreed

Themer is quite good, but annoyed me that it has no "keep in memory" option, as I'd press home and wait for it to load. Currently I'm using, and loving, the Google Experience Launcher. Aviate is also quite good.
Nova launcher is my main primary launcher, it's speedy and timely updates. The customisation is excellent to although I use the prime version. I've got Apex as well but prefer Nova. Aviate as mentioned above is unique but still needs further development before I contemplate using it primarily.

Just curious, what launcher do you prefer? The stock one or another one?
This regarding speed and performance.
Thanks.

To me the stock launcher with stock keyboard ran a little sluggish to me. I went and installed nova prime and stock keyboard slugishness went away.
I'm hoping LG would polish some of bugs on their launcher to improve some performance as I kind of liking stock launcher.
Meanwhile I'm sticking to nova launcher.

Info
NOVA Launcher on all of my phones
Nova Prime here. Wasn't happy with the default launcher.
I have been using Apex for a couple of years now (on mulitple devices, of course) and haven't had any issues. Seems to run smoothly enough with the VS986 variant.
I just tried using nova prime but when I go to use the stock messaging app it says it isn't installed. Any thoughts? VS986
I have a VS986 as well and apparently, when you agree to start using the message+ app, it ignores the stock one and pretends it isn't installed. I'm not 100% positive of that, but that seems to be the case with mine.
I use Nova prime for all of my devices as well as SwiftKey! They are super fast on the G4 and allow the amount of customising I need.
I found the stock one was OK, but Nova has much more configuration options, and is a little faster, so I'm using Nova Prime.
Today I'm using the stock launcher. It's OK for now, but I like Next Launcher. I see many here uses Nova, so I'm going to give it a try.

Go to the app settings and clear that particular app's cache. And also restore/import apps do crash on some apps. So might want to reset the nova launcher settings of everything else fails.

I would try going into the app drawer and see if it works there... it could just be an icon on the desktop that doesn't know where or what the official name of the apk is. Then I would try the other suggestion that someone else posted before me.

Tried clearing cache, restarting nova, restarting phone, restarting messaging... No luck... I just downloaded textra and that works fine.
Nova Prime here too! Love it!

In your opinion Popular/Best launcher to use with this phone ?
I like Apex or Nova Launcher. Super customizable and stable. They have gestures which let you put all that screen real estate to good use.
The best for me!
The best for me is BuzzLauncher. I have been using it for 2 years already
i use Nova Launcher Prime...well worth it.
Pixel launcher
Action launcher 3. Looks and works great and has all kinds of shortcuts.

Action Launcher 3 skinned to work mostly like the pixel launcher... But with swipe from the left edge to open Google now in absence of assistant, and with double tap of the home screen to open the camera.
Nova Prime is my dd!
+1 Nova Prime. I'm going to experience the V20 as it is when I get it, perhaps for a few days. Then, time to customize!

Do any of these launchers allow you to keep the double tap screen on/off?

I dont know the others but Buzz Launcher does. Also Next launcher, TSF Launcher, and Go launcher do too. (TSF is not being updated anymore, so you will probably discard it, although it is REALLY GOOD TOO)

The stock one is pretty cool, like an iPhone basically. I will probably use Nova Prime though.
What's everyone's preferred launcher for their s8? Looking for a replacement for stock or google now launcher. Thanks for the input!
Nova Launcher has been and probably always will be my go to. Here's what my home screen looks like right now
Nova Prime...
Nova Prime also.
Nova Launcher Prime is the best

Nova Prime or Next Launcher are my 2 favorites...
Nova Prime +1
You're looking for a replacement that looks like Google Now launcher or switching from stock or Google now launcher? If you're looking for a launcher like stock then why not Google Now Launcher?
Nexus/Pixel launcher. Sooooo much smoother than TouchWiz launcher. It's sad because the TW launcher looks wise is awesome now but animations are sometimes laggy, closing the Samsung browser has horrible lag in the animation.
If someone could edit the TW home.apk to have the same animations and buttery smooth like the pixel launcher that would be awesome! I'd be willing to donate towards the effort. I downloaded + installed Android studio but haven't really messed with it a lot yet.

Very nice arrangement. Can you share the icon pack name?
Nova Prime gets my vote as well.
I use Nova prime. Tried the stock launcher for a while and it was okay but I couldn't stick with it.
I've been using Action Launcher and really enjoying it.
Evie launcher as it's small light weight and very smooth.

Thanks, the icon pack is Spheroid. The weather widget is custom made in Zooper Pro. The search/date widget is included in Nova Launcher.
