Finally put nova launcher on, cannot stand that white mess at the bottom of my screen with the pixel launcher when using anything other than a black wallpaper, i mean what the hell was Google thinking with that awful looking feature, i really have no idea, either way glad I did cause now been able to get rid of that unsightly long Google search bar as well, and don't know if I'm imagining it but now since I've switched to the nova launcher and have ambient display disabled the phone is unlocking faster to screen on without the Google launcher ? so seems it's not just the ambient display issue but also seems to be the pixel launcher is lagging, go figure but it's faster for me, hip hooray.
Funny, I just switched to Nova Launcher yesterday. I don't care for the search bar either. I am looking for the APK that will allow Google Feed to work with it.
But I don't think the phone unlocks any faster than with the stock launcher. Each phone, like each person, is unique so I don't doubt that you see unlock speed gains.
But yeah, I don't now why I waited so long to switch to Nova. It rocks!

Thanks this worked, it's one of the reasons i didn't want a different launcher but with the wahed out crap at the bottom and the ugly search bar, this now works with a swipe to the left cheers.
Also just to add i am certain the phone is now unlocking faster with nova installed and ambient display disabled, it's win win all round.
i love nova, but the only reason i stick with the pixel launcher is because google can query the google weather API more reliably and frequently than third parties (like Nova) can, so the weather display is more accurate on google's pixel launcher

Just wonderering if anyone is using the Google Experience launcher? Looks really good on the note almost feels like a Nexus experience. Also it responds to the OK google command on the home screen. Always listening which I thought was only a feature on the Nexus 5 / Motorola?
I hate touchwiz and it was one of the main reasons I was hesitant about buying the note. Now I have the best of both world, best tablet and nexus like experience. The Spen etc still work perfectly. Worth giving it a try..

I was using Nova previously. Agree Nova is also superb. I have moved over to google experience as I have a nexus phone and like the fact basically consistent. I have been using android devices for years now but only used Nova a few months ago. Really impressive how it changes the feel / look of the tablet.
Googles launcher is free of course. I got the paid version of Nova...

Hello guys,
I'm coming in from the Note Pro side and wanted to reflect the OP comments. The launcher is smooth as butter and as stated it's as though the GNL was made for the Galaxy Note lineup. I've noticed all S Pen functionalities are fully intact. The best of both worlds...multi Window SPen features with a PURE Google experience!!!

Have you turned off screen rotation by mistake?
Just access the normal Samsung setting screen (by tugging the top of the screen down with your finger) and it is the 4th option from the left. Make sure it is selected... Only thing I can. Think of. Bet you have unselected it by mistake.

Yes, if you put the icons on the bottom row, then it is a dock and doesn't move as you swipe between screens.
I've got the paid Nova Launcher as well. I've stuck with it on my S3, but I haven't gone back on the tablet yet. On the S3, I thought the icons were too big and there is zero customization. However, I've enjoyed the Google Now Launcher on the tablet more so than I thought I would.
If there was a Google Now widget that is always listening that I could use with Nova, I would go back. Heck, I might still go back after the novelty of "Ok Google" wears off.
I finally did it......GREAT LAUNCHER!!!

Just to be clear, this is "Google Now Launcher" not "Google Experience Launcher" that play store edition phones have. Ok, sorry, just checked and it's the same thing, somehow i thought that google now launcher is a simplified version of google experience launcher. It's the same thing
Nevertheless it's a very nice launcher, simple and sleek.

Gnl is very good
I hate the icon size, and the draw is awful, so uninstalled it, shame really.
Xposed GEL Settings (requires Xposed Framework) allows you to change such things as icon size and drawer layout, along with many other things:

Slight lag when exiting app drawer to home screen. I will stick with Nova.

I've been running it since Friday. I like it, very similar to the Moto G stock, but it let's us add/delete launcher screens again. Icons are a touch larger. The Google notifications page is just a slide away - I don't use that much, but I may start paying more attention to it.

same, i dig the bigger icons but i rather use Nova so I enlarged them to look more like GNL.
I dislike GNL because of the drawer... Impossible to sort our applications in tabs... I keep Nova Launcher... The only feature I miss on Nova is the slide to the left to see Google Now.
I used GNL for a couple of months and I really enjoyed the swipe left google now, but I recently swithed to nova because of the customization and backup options. I think that I'm going to stick with nova for a while.

So far, I have tried Apex, Google Now, Nova, and Smart Launcher 2; however, none of these are as smooth as the built-in TouchWiz Home. I like to keep my homescreen simple with a nice wallpaper and four mostly used app icons at the bottom. What I hate about TouchWiz Home is that it puts that ugly page indicator right in the middle even if you just have one page. Since I'm not rooted (AT&T), there is no way to get rid of it. So, are there any launcher that is very lightweight and fast?
Heh... this is the first guy who says tw is smoother than nova or apex
I have Apex, Nova, ADC, and have tried a bunch of others. Experienced using them on my ASUS tablet so they aren't new to me. I'm still using TW on my Note4 because I don't want to lose functionality of some stuff, most notably s-pen. Oh... and paid versions of all of those if there is a paid version. I guess I'm not after something that people will envy when they see it. I just want to learn to use all the stuff my new phone can do! heheheh.... coming from a moto Razr. I tried Themer and I really like the concept, but it was a bit overwhelming. Maybe I just need to spend time with it. My s-pen still worked but I didn't explore what DIDN'T work, so... *shrug* .... still on TW.

stock touchwiz is the best. nova was super laggy when i tried it. stock touchwiz has no lag once you switch animations/transitions etc off in developer options.
I always used Nova on my previous devices (s2, s4).
For now on my note 4, I'm still on TW...
There were some reports here on xda that TW gives the best battery life... [emoji15]
Nova.
Since SGS2 through SGS4 and N4 now i`m using Go Launcher EX and it`s the best, the most featured, most customizable launcher in my opinion and btw i don`t have any regrets for speed/lags.

then I choose customizability and functionality over the few % of battery life.
Nova. Have never experienced lag. Maybe it's because I have Aggressive Desktop selected. S-Pen works fine with it, too. Didn't really give TW a shot because I love the gesture control and infinite scrolling on Nova. I swipe up to open my house alarm app and double tap to turn off the screen. Also, holding the Recents button brings up a sub menu that links to Nova settings, system settings and app list, rather than just settings for the launcher. And just a theory, but I think "OK Google" hotword detection with the screen off works better with Nova.
I've usually stuck with Nova, but find myself using TW for the Note 4. I've purchased Nova and Apex. For fast light launcher, use Hola. It's still installed on my Note 4 while Nova got the boot already
Whilst I'm another Nova fan, and TW this time is pretty decent, I'm a converted Dodol user. Very fast and light (85mb for two screens) even with themes and gestures and many other customisation options. Also has some nice built in widgets.
Sent from my SM-N9100
For light use smart launcher is the pinnacle of light, and remarkably easy to use, however using the GEL has to be my favourite, different strokes for different folks though. Used apex and nova for years, have both pro versions, apex for me is the better of the two. I also have the spb shell 3D, quite heavy, loads of eye candy, also very expensive and hasn't had an update in years. So much potential though.
If you decide to install cm12 then launcher 3 with lollipop is fantastic, I wouldn't swap it.

I originally tried Themer with my HTC One and also thought it was overwhelming. But really just don't like TW so I tried it again and spent a weekend setting it up. Wow! I love it. I easily customized a theme, and lag is minimal. It has gesture control and I've completely eliminated the bottom bar as I use Swapps sidebar. All Spen functions are working.

Hi,
I've had the S7 Edge for about a week now and am absolutely loving it, however I have one small gripe. I am used to having the app drawer icon/ button centralised rather than off to the right. TouchWiz doesn't seem to let me move it, and I don't really want to go to a third party launcher if I can avoid it...
Any suggestions? Hacks etc.? I have root access so options involving root are OK for me.
Thanks in advance...

You are missing out a lot by not wanting to use any 3rd party launchers.
There are over 100 launchers in the google playstore and ALL of them have
the option to move any of the dock icons or other icons on home screen to be
located in the center of the home screen dock or any other place.
None of these launchers require root but it's always best to have root access.
I don't understand why so many people here in xda use the stock touchwiz
launcher when there are so many better ones available which have almost
every conceivable feature and user options in them.
Nova, Next Launcher, Go Launcher and Google Launcher are just a few examples.
Good luck,
Have a great day!

Thanks for the reply. I've been a long-time Android user and have used Apex, Nova, Go, Sense, Xperia, TouchWiz etc. etc., but it's all a personal preference. I actually quite like TouchWiz (let the flaming commence), but my only gripe is not being able to move the app drawer button.
And saying there are so many 'better' ones available is all a personal preference.

I switched over to TW for my default launcher to see if I could find an answer for you.
Well, dang, if that isn't annoying. I got nothing. You would think that would be an easy and intuitive customization. (Needing root for an Xposed module or a custom ROM??? It just should be easier than that!)
Ugh. I am not OCD, but I prefer my home at center, too.
I find that I only use TW to create shortcuts (so that they appear as options for the Edge sidebar)... then I return to Nova. Like you, I have tried more than a dozen launchers (Smart, Action, Lightning, Go.... many of them very good....) but for me, I keep coming back to Nova for customization and options.
Good Luck. I hope someone finds what should be a simple solution.
I discover Nova, since then, TouchWiz is something from the past, Nova is much better and versatile, try it, you will love it

Nothing to get flamed about. Touchwiz is actually quite nice, bloatware aside. Disabling all that I'd even be able to be happy with Touchwiz if not for the app drawer button. That alone was enough for me to go to Nova. I searched high and low for a way to move the app drawer where it belongs (center) but couldn't find a thing.
My only real grasp on TouchWiz over any other is the widgets I use. Can't use Samsung widgets on Nova right?

I never tested all of them, but pulling up widgets on my phone right now there's an option to add Samsung widgets (that I didn't disable with EZ Disabler) so I am assuming they should all work. What are some you're curious about? I'll check them. I know edge still works fine, you can keep the stock look or apply the stock Marshmallow look, there's a ton of options. It basically takes nothing away (so far not even performance or battery life) but enables you to have a bit more control over things. A lot more control really.
Gonna try now, thanks for that info.

I have been a long time Nova user, but also prefer the Touchwiz launcher on the S7. Unfortunately, the only way to move the app drawer button to the center it to have it the only button in the dock at the bottom.

Hmm, are you using the free version or paid?
I am using the paid version with the notifications (TeslaUnread) add on. I'm not sure what enabled the widgets as it wasn't my goal, but that's what I have installed on mine in case it matters. I just hold my finger down on the background and it pops up with the usual menu with wallpaper, widgets, etc.

Yeah, using the paid version. Weird. I'll mess around with it.

Wife got an S7 today. Haven't touched it yet but I'll pay special attention when setting this part up to see if I can find what makes it available. Like I said, when I set mine up I just wasn't paying attention to the widgets because I don't use any aside from the weather. I just know they're all there now.
I just noticed my news feed is dark all of a sudden. It also has a new topic identifier icon.

I love this look, I've been waiting for everything to have a dark mode!
My google feed don't work and never worked since I purchased my pixel 2 xl one week ago.
Neither in the stock launcher or in nova launcher withbgoogle companion app.
I also noticied that in settings remindres and customisation are grayed out.
Any one having the same issue?

Is that from your Google app?

no.
It is what was known as google now, then google feed, and now known as discover.
It is what you see when you have the option enabled to display the google app to the left of home screen.

Ah gotcha, I just tried it on my work pixel 2 and I see what your talking about. I use Nova launcher on my pixel 2Xl that's why I wasn't seeing it. Looks nice.

Ya, its a google server side switch as well. I have seen in the recent past people who have gotten it in the actual google app. Many have also gotten the full dark theme in now/feed/discover and had it revert back to the non-dark.
google and their tricks.

You can install the Nova Google Companion app to have the google feed by swiping to the let like the stock pixel launcher

For me it was working in my previous devices but unfortunately i can't get google feed to work with my pixel 2xl, i have just a blank page in both stock and nova launcher.
Would you want to try to see if it is working for you.

I use Nova Launcher with Google companion as well. I can confirm that, at least at the moment,, the dark theme doesn't apply despite having activated dark theme in settings. If I switch to the Pixel Launcher, the dark theme becomes active
Was the dark news feed added with the October security update?

Lucky you, I have no luck to get it working
Mine isn't dark in Nova at all. I switch back to Pixel launcher and the background is dark, but each feed is still white.
