Nova seemed like a great launcher. Got my homescreens looking exactly the way i wanted... but nothing was quite as buttery smooth and quick as the stock, so i decided to uninstall it. And please dont get me wrong, there is hardly much jutter when scrolling with Nova, but im just very picky about homescreen scroll smoothness... so yea...


Did you play around with the scrolling speed settings in nova's options?

Does anyone else like the vertical, alphabetic list in the app drawer that TouchWhiz offers? With being able to jump to any letter, I find this very intuitive.
Anyway, anyone know of another launcher that has this? Thanks.

Thanks for the reply. Those launchers have vertical grids but not a vertical list. I had a Windows Phone for a year, which uses an app list with letter "anchors". I'm surprised at how much I've come to rely on this UI feature. It's keeping me on TouchWhiz. :rolleyes:

On my SGSIII ADW Launcher never seems to work correctly. Even scrolling seems to cause an odd issue with the wallpaper. I even turned off the scrolling option for the wallpaper.

I wanted a launcher that would change the main screen to landscape when I turned the phone to landscape. The HTC One X does it by default, why didn't SGSIII offer the same option?

Honestly...

Use apex. It does all of these.
