Nova Launcher + Launcher Pro 3D Icon Pack

I'm a pretty big fan of this combination. I usually go stock on my phones, but I just felt adventurous (also, needed a little more launcher functionality).
Any suggestions on a better combo? Any Icon packs I should be looking at? Is there a better launcher for the N4 than Nova, or is that what a majority of you use?

I use Apex. Does that count?

Apex has a lot of features for free, were as in nova you have to pay for every decent feature.

+1 for apex, has always worked best for me. Tersus is a good icon pack and so is miui4

I use both paid versions. Currently running Nova but I switch every now and then when the other one has a new feature I really want. Both now have the ability to import settings from the other one so, it makes it really easy to switch back and forth.

I'm not really sure what Nexus interface looks like but I'd recommend using Go Launcher Ex
It's a user friendly, very smooth and most importantly very customizable launcher
You can make it look like anything you want with endless themes to choose from, along with making folder, sorting, hiding, custom arranging options. Not to mention screen scroll and transition animations.
Give it a shot, you won't regret it

So what kinds of Launcher's you guys using? My personal favorite has always been Holo Launcher Hd. Great launcher with tons of options. And I love the landscape home.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app

I use nova.

I never tried anything else because I was always so happy with Holo. But I might try nova now. Great to hear other options.

Next Launcher. You can actually score it free on Facebook too cause they post betas before they do a new release.

SS launcher was on Nova launcher for years and switched to this cause the scrolling up and down instead of pages. But also has pages. Great launcher

I use TSF Shell. Best launcher ever if you can stomach the price.

I've bounced between Nova and Apex, but Nova mainly.
Both are pretty slick and both also put some effort into the notification side of things. I am accustomed to the bubble notifications and bothe Apex and Nova has them with support for Samsung Mail as well as Google Voice. Nova also supports MissedIt! which gives you bubble notifications for just about anything that puts a notification on the top status bar.
I wish more of these launchers would put more effort into the notification side.

Smart Launcher is where its at for me

Before they release an update the Go team releases a beta on Facebook that is fully functional. I purchased this launcher when it first was released but now you can pretty much get it for free. I think you will like it.

Aviate Beta VS Themer Beta

Each replaces your launcher in a interesting way. Themer makes it easier to theme and Aviate organizes your apps and information in a helpful and cool way (and kind of reminds me of Google now IMO).
Both are by invite only currently, got lucky and got both, so sign up now if you wanna use them instead of waiting for the released version.
My problem is that i can't decide which one i want to use,
Themer has limited themes but more are added slowly, also has its crash moments but hey its a beta and the updates help, forced to stay in stock UI mode
Aviate changes by how i use it but only has a light or dark theme option and doesn't require me to be in stock UI mode
I love lowering my dpi to 180/192 in tablet UI mode but i also love changing my theme especially since themer makes it easier
Anyone else with both betas? what are your opinions? which would you pick?
Aviate
Themer app

I find myself switching between the two. I like the themes on themer, but like the categories on aviate.

I have tried both and was bored by both within a day. Stock, Nova, and Action are still my go-to launchers.

not working
for me themer is no working on Miui rom nexus 4

Dont like Themer yet. Its almost the same as Buzz launcher but without the hassle of downloading extra apps. There just arent alot of themes yet so not really interesting.
Using Aviate for a while now, and I really like it. Just the fact that in the evening it will ask to set an alarm and when im riding to the bus it will show the time of arrival from the bus. Just those little things make it great.
Although nothing can beat just stock launcher. Simplicity and just clear.

I also got bored of both very quickly, aviate isn't customizable enough for me and themer doesn't have many themes yet, also doesnt let me have a smaller nav bar. Back to nova with a custom setup or even Buzz launcher which at least has a lot of options..

Does anyone have an invite for aviate if it's possible? Stuck with themer only :-\

Themer is fun to customise with all those widgets but I like aviate more with its clean organised look.

I prefer sticking to lovely Nova. Aviate is too boring while Themer doesn't have *beautiful* themes for now plus it's having a lack of fast animation.
