Hey is it normal, that the nova launcher darkens the screen?
I think normally one wouldn't notice it, but I have AOKP installed and made my stat and navbar completely transparent.
And now the region of the stat and navbar is a lot brighter than the rest of the screen.
If I stop nova launcher I can't see the "stripes" anymore and the whole screen has the same brightness.
go into the nova settings>desktop>show shadow and untick it

I wonder why trebuchet always sets my wallpaper with a bigger image than stock, its soo annoying I wish I could use all these tablet mode mods more often but I don't like how trebuchet always makes the wallpaper bigger and depending on the image size blurry as well, I tried replacing with apex but that launcher does rotate smooth in app drawer it stays black for a couple seconds then shows the apps, so does anyone know why trebuchet does that?

Try Nova Launcher. I don't know why Trebuchet is doing that. It never happened on my N7.

Hi everyone, I just got my N4 today and was pretty excited to run the light grid live wallpaper, when I did, my homescreen (apex) lags between transitions
Is that normal? Any way to get rid of it?
Thank you very much

There shouldn't be any lag. Try using a simpler animation, maybe (or turn off any complex animations). Does the wallpaper lag on stock launcher?

The lag persists on any launcher, I was wondering if it doesn't happen to anyone else since it's a popular live wallpaper

I know this may sound really stupid but it is really bugging me now.
I have set nova on transparent bar. When I unlock my phone (using stock lockscreen), the notification bar flashes very fast and goes back to transparent. I'm not sure if I explained myself right.
Does your nova do this? Thankssssss.

No, but you might be using some kind of home proxy, i.e one that launches home from inside an app when you hit the home button.
Open Nova settings and check the default home is actually Nova.

yep, you're right. It depends on Nova and you can't do anything to solve it.
So nothing's wrong with my phone then?

Once you download and launch nova. There will be some widgets on your home screen prompting you to restore your layout from either a previous nova backup or a different launcher. Just create yourself a backup within go launcher (if it has that option) then restore from that backup. It may not restore everything depending on widgets you have currently but you won't have to start from scratch. I use nothing but nova prime.

Nova Prime - with gesture control to bring up My Magazine (or whatever app you want) with 1 swipe up from any page.
Anybody ever tried/ a fan of next launcher?

The launcher is silky smooth but the phone runs exactly the same on nexus 4
On the Int s3 with 1gb ram though yes apps launched faster and the phone performed better as nova uses far less ram than touch wiz and you can lock the launcher in memory for fewer redraws on low ram devices.

I've always been a fan of apex launcher. Is there any reason to pick one over the other? I like Apex's ability to make the status bar transparent and auto hide plus tablet mode with hidden dock.
Themer, Nova, apex, tsf shell, spb shell.

I use Action Launcher for it's nice static "action menu" on the home screen and also a built in one tap search button and side slide menu for alphabetical app list(no app drawer needed)

I like Nova since it comes with the AOSP icon set and easy to change any ones you dont like, close enough to vanilla launcher for me
I like smart launcher. Very simple and organized. Looks great in tablet mode on PA ROM.

Go launcher EX for me, tons of themes.
I use TSf. After using nova, apex, and a variety of others along the way. This is best to me. Costly at $15. But it is great. No more grid pattern. No more 4x4 or whatever. It's free form like a desktop on a computer. Place icons and widgets wherever you want. Stack em on top of each other if you want. Doesn't matter. No limitation on placement. It's great.

Nova Launcher Prime! I love the gestures and tons of customization options!
I just got the full version of apex and love it. I'm in to theming and tablet mode looks awesome and goes along quite nicely with themed search bars.

Apex for me. I like being able to customize grid size and folder icons. It's also compact and fast.
Just got this phone yesterday. Love it and the launcher. Only thing that bugs me is the bouncy effect on homescreen. Anyway to get rid of that?

If you are referring to the animation that happens when swiping from one screen to the next then you can change it. Settings, display, home screen, screen swipe effect.
Thanks, I did that. But it happens as your swiping. There is a small bounce effect on all animations. Reminds me of Gingerbread. I would like it to just fade instead of bounce. I hope I am making sense. Remember Launcher Pro and ADW? You could choose to have a bouncy effect or fade in etc as you rotate the screens?

If you tried everything and still don't want it, try downloading launcher applications, i.e. Launcher Pro and ADW.
You know, I picked up my wifes Flex today and even though I still noticed a slight overshoot while scrolling screens. The overshoot was not nearly as bad. Plus the transition seemed smoother.
