Ever since I started using it, I feel battery life has deteriorated. Before I was using Launcher Pro.
Seems the same for me.

if you have more than one launcher installed use titanium backup or settings apps to freeze the others.
You should compare with a third launcher to see if it's doing that for you... Try out Holo HD, it's a lot like Nova, and it doesn't matter how many launchers you have...
I use Nova even with bells it's not power hungry. Must be diverging else Try reinstalling

I have nova premium. Been using for quite some time now. Don't see it using much power.

Earlier today my TW launcher somehow moved the app icon from furthest right to 2nd from right, and after some fiddling on my end, to the middle. I backed up my apps on TB and full phone on TWRP and after reboot the app icon was back to its original spot. Also back on the same spot after restoring my backup, clearing cache, etc. So it seems though that this is plausible.... is anyone able to decipher how to make this permanent to TW?

This and having the app drawer scroll through widgets and apps together like the stock launcher would be nice

Apex
You could always switch to something like Apex Launcher... Much more customizable in those respects.
I actually like touchwiz...I used nova before and the smoothnes just doesn't match with stock.

this is different launcher. thank you :good:
I've used it for a bit when I was still on the stock ROM. It takes some work to make it 'yours', but it's a wonderful and very flexible launcher. A very different approach from the usual grid-based ones. The only downside is the Contacts tab, which keeps reloading people's pictures when you scroll around. I'm sure there's valid (memory and speed related) reasons for it, but still.
Currently using the default launcher that came with CM9, but ssLauncher is defo on my "keep an eye on and maybe get back to it later" list.
U r right man

I'm wondering which launcher to use on my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747. So I'm considering either Nova or Apex. I like how Nova Is more customizable but Apex has more functions. I also like the stock Touchwiz theme. Which launcher should I use? Also can anyone suggest any other launchers besides GO Launcher EX.
I personally use nova and I love it. It's fast and smooth.
Nova

I also use Nova but have been trying Next Launcher for the past couple days and I like it so far for it being in the early stages.

You should try ADW Launcher.It's one of the first, and it's come a long way.

Nova prime mostly, but sometimes go back to apex they're both great

I have 3 launchers set up which I swap between depending what I'm doing. I use Nova occasionally whilst driving. The gestures make it very easy to quickly open apps with one hand. I use TouchWiz daily for the S-Planner widget, which only works on TouchWiz. When I feel creative or get an idea for a UI I use sslauncher, which gives gridless design possibilities, overlapping widgets and resizable icons and the ability to have different wallpapers on every page. I use "Home chooser pro" to swap.
+1 for ADW! I use the paid version personally, and I love it.
I used apex for the longest time but recently switched to nova and love it.

One of the first things I did was to install Nova Prime on my S3.
Nova. Nuff said.

I switched to Nova because ADW was dead. Now it's back. Not sure I'll switch back to it.

ADW EX, and nova are my favorite. I like ADW EX because you can scale the size of your icons.

I use Nova Launcher and I love it. From my experience it is much smoother than the stock launcher.

I used ADW Ex for the longest time and thought it was great but switched to Holo HD and have been super happy with it since.

Holo Launcher HD Pro
I've used Holo HD before and didn't like it. What are the best features?

I always used to hate GO Launcher. It was a nice idea but it ran so slow. On the beast of a phone though I may have a new favorite launcher.

Try nova launcher. Its the fastest one I've used.

I agree with florad I use nova launcher and found it was the best and I've tried many other launcher. Lots of customization and love the ability to reduce the icon size because KitKat stock icons I find way to big and it feels light for a launcher and not power hungry! Give it a try
I'm using holo right now on the same ROM, I gave it a shot so I could change a few extra settings with xblast
