personally i like go launcher ex,launcher pro, and adw launcher. just try it
i use apex launcher. based off jelly bean. really light weight. tons of customization. nova launcher is similar and works great as well.
Apex to the top

It really depends on your preferences, I find stock the smoothest but Nova the most customisable.
Are there any launcher similar to go launcher's folder option within the drawer? That's something that I really like and have only found on go launcher.

Nova launcher with Nova prime has something similar.

what about Chameloen?
Personally I don't like Chameleon, you can't add app short cuts on the home screen, widgets are limited and you can't create folders. Granted you can create your own widgets using HTML 5, however this doesn't solve the problem to people who don't know HTML 5. Neither can you use normal widgets as you would on a normal launcher. I suspect there will be more widgets in the future, but for 10usd it isn't worth it.
So Launcher 8 when it come.

I tried apex but it was way to complicated.

Well I started out using Nova, then I went to Apex and now I am using Holo Launcher + which is much faster that the two previous launchers.
Holo was to dull to me

I'm very satisfied with the holo launcher hd!
Dull? There are several options to personalize it..
Spb shell. Great launcher. Nova my second choice.,

Holo is a bit dull but Holo HD is on par with Apex/Nova but is much faster with less scrolling glitches. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobint.hololauncher.hd
The HD version is made for JellyBean whereas the regular version is for ICS and lower.
I've been using nova prime and I'm pretty happy with it. I'm bummed that go launcher doesn't work well on the nexus 7. Hopefully they'll figure it out.

because its phone based. go launcher hd, if you search itll say for tablet.
I tried go launcher HD and didn't dig the setup. I really like the phablet desktop, if I was using a larger tablet I think it would be perfect.

Ok, I was wondering if anyone out there had an apk of the TW Widgets or a modded TW launcher. I'm looking to get more than 4×4 on the home screen and keep the TW Widgets. I am not looking to root just yet so a zip for flashing is out of the question. Thanks in advance.

You can download nova apex or holo launcher and still have the stock widgets and also change your rows and columns

Not exactly. Some of the widgets don't work in Nov (such as the weather clock)

Without root it's doubtful you'd be able to move the modded apk into /system/app or change permissions anyhow..
You wouldn't be able to install or side load it like any other third party launcher?

Nova Launcher
i have been using Nova Launcher on my AT&T Galaxy Note 2 and I must say it's pretty sweet...customization is sweet color them hand gestures and all...check it out in the Google Play Store theirs a free version and a paid version $4.00...I use the free version for like 10 minutes I liked it so much so I just purchased it....it's been amazing..everyone I know have been asking me what is that and where can I download that at...Samsung Galaxy Note 2 is simply untouchable at the moment...and way way better then any iphone out there....

Business Calendar from market seems like a suitable replacement for that widget. Try it out.
Got sick of not being able to find anything so I just rooted and I am running the modded touching. Thanks to all who offered ideas.

So I am loading new ROM. I have used ADW for years and like it. Is it time to change since I am going to format my SD-Card and REALLY start clean?
My only wish over what I had was something that added the Google Buttons to the bottom of the Touch Screen so I could press Menu|Home|Back with the S-Pen (Mirror Capacitive Buttons). But thats only a dream.
I love Go Launcher. Simple. Easy. Lots of support (too many updates though haha)
Been using it since my SII and not on my Note II :good:
Try next launcher
Sent From An Incognegro Galaxy Note 2
My vote was nova.I try diffrent launchers but keep coming back to nova.
I switch between a lot of launchers and go launcher seems to have the most options out there but I do use nova sometimes because its always smooth and never any problems.
You should check out lightning launcher. Very customizable and different from most others.

There is a thread around. That has a mod to get the buttons you are talking about, no launcher needed

OK, I have had a lot of problems getting widgets to stick to my homescreen after adding them. the defaults stay just fine and there are several that work as well from the play store, but beautiful widgets and hd widgets and widgetsoid, none of them work at all in the note 4 touchwiz homescreens.
I figured I would add a launcher to my phone so i could get my widgets back. The very first launcher I added was themer, and just as an fyi, they do not support the note 4 yet and it is not compatible. They did say on their support page however that there is support coming soon. there is no release date as to when they are expecting it to work.
The next launcher I tried was Nova and it worked flawlessly. So did APEX and Go Launcher. I have not tried some of the others yet such as NEXT launcher an TSF shell. I'll report back if and when I get time to try them out and see what happens.
I figured I would start this thread so that if anyone else is having issues with trying to add widgets on their stock homescreen and it doesnt work, then they could find a quick alternative here until the issues get resolved.
I was able to get next launcher to work as well but im not paying 12 bucks just to see if tsf works. gonna need someone else to try that one.
Another launcher
ADW Launcher also works flawlessly on my note 4.

Thank you! I don't know why i forgot about them lol
I'm actually enjoying the stock launcher on my phone. Reason being, is it seem to do notifications very well by putting the number next to each app. On my old phone, I use to use Next and loved it. I wouldn't mind putting it on my Note just to see how much better it'd perform, but again, I'd probably miss the whole notifications experience. Can someone comment on NEXT on the Note 4 vs stock launcher?
Try Blur Launcher, it's based on GNL and has some nice customizable options for non-root

As far as I know, no third party launcher allows tw widgets... too bad, sometimes I like changing launchers and I really like the tw calendar widget...
Main reason I use stock launchers is because of the widgets. Would be nice to get the best of both.
I kinda figured it wouldn't allow tw widgets as I too especially like the calendar widget. It's all good though as for whatever reason I was suddenly able to add widgets to my tw launcher.

Nova works perfectly.
I used touchwiz for about two hours and got way to annoyed. Now I am on Nova and I have no issues at all.

I use digical for my calendar widget. If you want to have a full month you have to buy it but the free themes are really nice.

Exactly what TW widgets will Nova not allow. I've been running Nova on four different phones and now on the Note 4 without any issues what so ever.
One of the very first things I do is load up a launcher. I've used TSF, Nova, Go EX, and Next Launcher so far with this phone. My favorite for speed is Nova, for eye candy are the two Go based launchers (Go Ex and Next), and the most customizable is TSF Shell.
The reason I use launchers is to get more squeezed onto the screen at once, and then to dress things up a bit, especially on a phone that does not (yet) have root.
To the OP, so far, no widget issues at all with any of the above launchers.
using nova prime, im able to use some touchwiz widgets like weather

I'm not sure. I like the TW calendar widget and it isn't available on third party launchers. Some are available like weather, flashlight and S Note widgets

As an update, I somehow got massive scratches UNDER my screen protector on my phone. I don't have a clue how in the world something like that can even happen! However, I went back to my vzw store and did the 14 day exchange for another brand new note 4. Brought it home and instantly was able to add widgets etc to my home screen. I'm not sure why my first one gave me issues for about 3-4 days. Has anyone else at all had the widget issue when initially setting up their phone?
