Launcher is just the stock Android launcher and twlauncher is TouchWiz
I tried switching to launcher and it was taking too long so I cancled it, how long does your phone take to switch

It has to set it up for the first time mines took about 45 sec I believe. And the stock launcher is not all that bad. Really smooth as well!

I do believe the Nova launcher will allow you too. Correct me if I am wrong.

Trebuchet (The CM9 launcher) will as well.

Unread Notifications Indicator

Hey guys do you know if there is an app coming out that displays the number of unread notifications on the app icon, for jelly bean?

Try GO Launcher EX with the GO Launcher EX Notification plugin.
Both Nova & Apex have the feature, might only be with the paid version though.

This is what I was going to suggest, I know with Nova you have to download a "plug-in" app for the function.
Well I tried go launcher and I didn't like it, I will look into nova, I am considering developing it my self as I am a programmer so we will see how this works out first

Personally I'm using Nova Launcher (free).
I hope you can develop it as good if not better as Nova Prime (paid) and make it available for FREE
I will see, next week I'm ordering my laptop so gotta wait for that to arrive

So I'm going to build my own indicator, because just for notifications you shouldn't have to pay and the two options (nova and apex) are a little laggy on my phone :/

None stock launcher question?

Is anyone using a different launcher? What S pen features work and what do you lose....?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
I'm using Apex, haven't lost a thing.

Using Nova, no loss at all.
Using Nova, everything works. The only thing I can note is that the S Pen app doesn't automatically launch after removing the pen any longer. Not sure if that can be restored, but I have not investigated that since I actually like it better this way.
Apex. Only loss is when the Spen is removed the Page Buddy doesnt open automatically and the Spen icon is not displayed in the status bar.

So Apex and Nova, you lose certain S Pen features. And I believe multiview will not work with 3rd party launchers as well.

Incorrect...multiview works perfectly on Nova and I would assume for Apex as well. Pagebuddy doesn't open on 3rd party launchers, but all the apps within Pagebuddy work fine, you just have to open them individually instead of the page automatically opening. No big deal and the advantages of the launchers far outweight that one negative. In my opinion anyway.

That's a shame to hear that Page buddy gets broken.

Just put the s pen widget on a screen and problem solved

Totally agree while page buddy doesnt pop up automatically all the functionality is there just put Snote on your desktop and its ready to go. The Soen itself works fine under these launchers

Same thing with Holo. Another mildly annoying thing with Holo is that the exposé-like animation (which shows all your screens and allows you to switch to any one of them without cycling) is slow and choppy.

In my experience nova and apex aren't as smooth as the stock touchwhiz launcher is on this phone. Not saying they are laggy or anything but it is noticeable. I have the paid versions of nova and apex because in general I prefer them, but I've been using touchwhiz with 4x5 mod and perseus kernel and loving it.

TW on this phone is the first stock launcher that I would consider as smooth as Nova...however, the lack of scrolling dock kills it for me. If TW had that, I would definitely stick with it.

I could live with out the scrolling dock, I just want a fully customizable dock..... But still want s pen features... I'm sure there will be ROMs to fix this...

I doubt it since you lose no s pen features with Apex or Nova...those are the two launchers most used by devs when making ROMs.

Got my note 2.... Using nova. Everything is working fine. Going to wait till bre is up to root just incase. I wonder how does nova react to multi Window roms?

It works fine for me using The Hybrid ROM. I haven't experienced any trouble with it at all
I'm loving Apex! Everything seems to work fine so far. But why can't I re-size my icons in Apex, even though the option to re-size any icon is selected?

Lockscreen Widgets on Galaxy Ace 2 ?

Does anyone can make a lockscreen who supports widgets like in Android 4.2 for galaxy ace 2 or just put it on his rom . I'm really a fan of this feature and it would be great to have it . There is already an app like this on the play store but it's not smooth and doesn't look like the Android 4.2 lockscreen
Sorry for my bad english

I think that intergrate such feature is very hard because it relate to OS version (what i think). May be we should just use widget locker app and sit waiting for cm10.1

I already use NiLS. It works fine :good:
I recomended to try with rootbox and polish bottle vodka fix. You can have android 4.2.2 almost bugless with that loockscreen. I used and It's worthy
