Looking to see if anyone is using nova /nova prime launcher on there N6? Hiw is it working?

Crashdamage · Mar 6, 2015

I installed Nova on my wife's Nexus 6. Works fine, no problems at all.

No worries here either!

No hiccups at all here.

Tried nova launcher like it but icons way too small

Crashdamage · Mar 11, 2015

If you get Nova Prime (paid version) you can resize the icons.

Also using Nova on mine. I love that it lets me hide the dock and status bar, giving the home screens massive real estate. I hide the nav buttons too, and use pie controls instead.

Can u resizes folders as well in prime version? I am using free version now and i do like it but icons too small so? prime will let resize them but what about folders

Crashdamage · Mar 14, 2015

I just have the free version of Nova, it does all I need. But I'm pretty sure Nova Prime treats folders like any other icon and will resize folders.

I went ahead and got the paid version three days ago.... $4 well spent.....

Been using Nova prime since I upgraded to the Nexus 6, as I had only recently installed it on my GS4 and didn't want to waste my hard earned (previously used Apex). No issues, works well and I enjoy the cusomisation.

Tried the pro version of Nova for a few days. Figured if I was going to use an aftermarket launcher, I should get some cool factor from it as well. For last week been using Go Next Launcher. Very happy with all that can be done with it. As well icons can be resized, changed, angled etc.

I am using smart launcher 2

Nova prime is working great for me.

I decided to try a new launcher installed go launcher ex. With in twenty minutes my device locked up, touch screen wasn't responding, couldn't get the device to power off when I did it wouldn't turn back on, when it did the phone froze up during the start up process, I was finally able to uninstall the launcher. Went back to smart launcher 2 simple, very user friendly

You just learned a lesson - never, ever install anything from the Go guys!

CtrlZ · Apr 8, 2015

I agree. Go apps are typically so loaded with their own bloated advertisement for their other apps. It defeats the purpose of trying to have a smooth launcher.

I admittedly do still use their Toucher Pro. I haven't had any issues with that and it keeps my screen icon free.

Nova Prime has long been a favorite launcher of mine

I installed Nova Prime tonight and I love it. Icons and folders can easily be scaled to the full Google default size without any problem. I love all of the customizations, especially the fact that the annoying Google search bar is now gone ... but it can be retrieved with a swipe whenever I need it.

I've been using Nova Prime since I believe the Samsung S3 if I remember correctly. It's never disappointed. Was a little confusing at first but otherwise once I find my way around very simple to use. There are a ton of free and paid icon pack available. I must have 30 or so that I've acquired since I've been using Nova. So many combinations and never a boring look like the iPhone.

I am trying out dodol launcher this week

Okay ran into some issues with the dodol launcher, it caused certain apps to be unresponsive, text messaging wouldn't work unless I sent it through hangouts. I finally uninstalled it, switch to Hola launcher my phone froze up for a good ten minutes it was $650 paper weight I was able to power it off then on, immediately uninstalled the launcher. Went back to the stock launcher, did a cache partion wipe (two in fact) now I am running 360 launcher, so far no problems

Mothership endorsed Google Now Launcher for me.
