What launchers do you use?

What are peoples' favourite launchers?

I'm currently using Microsoft launcher, prefer its look to stock android and it's ad free. Nova launcher seems to be popular as well.

Any others worth trying?

Lawnchair is basically the pixel launcher with extra options to tweak. It's great.

[XDA][5.0+] Ruthless (Pixel 2) Launcher (based on azaidi's AOSP Pixel Launcher)

^^^ Supports Icon packs as well. Have Nova Prime as well but never got around to using it.

Same, using it for years. Don't see any reason to try anything else.

Nova Prime as well.

Have two pages on my home screen and two pages in the icon tray. Both have infinite scroll enabled and I've lots of gestures set up as well.

Nova Prime too

Nova on my S6 was great. Ive been using the stock launcher on my S8 for the time being.

Can you get the Google feed on Nova Prime?

Yup but think it was an extra app to install to get it working.

I've Nova Prime on my phone (lg g4) and the Rootless Pixel Launcher (as opposed to the Ruthless Pixel Launcher!) on my tablet (Nexus 7).

I'm also using Nova prime.

I used to use Nova Prime for years but I've been using Squarehome 2 for months now. It's very like the launcher for Windows phones - very slick and responsive, supports multiple pages, tiles, widgets, all the usual stuff.

Worth a look if you want to try something new. Absolutely tiny too, so it's well designed.

The paid version (for a few quid) will unlock all features, but you can try the free one to see what you think.

Nova Prime. Straightforward, easy to use, pretty customisable and been on my phones for years.

EagererBeaver · 18-05-2018 11:39AM

This brings me back to the days of trying out everything on my HTC Desire HD.

Have been using the rootless Pixel launcher on my OP3 but will try out Nova.

Different strokes n'all that.

Nova Prime for me.

smilerf · 18-05-2018 11:44AM

Yes as Opus said it's another app from the developers of Nova... Downloaded from their website

Use it myself and works perfectly.

Any stock Google launcher, not a fan of the third party ones, not as mad on the Pixel 2 one as much as the old Nexus one tbh..

irishchris · 20-05-2018 01:33PM

Paid for action launcher a while back and used it since but just got the paid version of nova launcher yesterday after reading this thread and it really is excellent. Thanks to everyone on this thread for recommending it

I don't have time to be messing around with launchers when I've used Nova for years and have it exactly how I like it.

Left swipe for Google now, loads of gestures set, clean home screen without loads of icons messing up my wallpaper.

Dravokivich · 20-05-2018 10:56PM

Used to be on nova prime. Switched to arrow, which became Microsoft launcher about 2 years ago. Simple enough and quick launcher to use.

I do searches in browser. So never really checked.

What launchers do you use?
