Hello
There is a one day discount in a shop near my. And i would like to buy a tab for my wife.
I have only tried the 10.1 edition. The browser seems fine and, the size of the 8.9 is perfect.
But the launcher is a little sluggish. Is there good rom that will fix this. Or is there a good alternative launcher, that has pad optimized layout. I'm. Used to adw launcher ex, but it has the phone layout.

it works just fine and adw launcher works well I use it just customize it too look how you want on the tab
Thanks
It's important that it runs smooth and stable.
Overcome runs really smooth without many bugs, it's a pared down Honeycomb. I prefer ICS ROMs, but they are still buggy without working camera, etc.
She might really like TouchWiz despite the lag. Has she used Android before? She might be used to its lags.
Just recieved the note this morning and although iam not new to android or thos forum, its quite different to my old HTC desire. so i have a few questions!
I cant stand the stock launcher that comes with samsung so i have changed it to the go launcher so is their anyone out their better, or do you need to root to do that?
Also wanted to know if their are any good things to download to customise my phone, i have been using my blackberry for awhile so iam pretty unsure lol.
i might decide to root but is it worth it just yet?
cheers folks. hope someone can give me some pointers, the phone is huge, but i love the screen. i was abit paranoid as i always looked at samsung as kinda boring, im just glad the phone can be customised.
cheers.
New to android?
I always used launcher pro on my gingerbread based roms.

My note is coming today, so I haven't tried it with the larger screen.
Running an ICS rom I like the stock trebuchet launcher just fine.
hey
Naw im not new to android but its been a while since i have used it as a phone as i dont use my htc desire anymore. i have using the annoying blackberry.
launcher pro is fast and works well with some good live wallpapers.
what is ICS rom? also was your phone rooted
A lot of launchers have some degree of lag when used on the Note. Go Launcher and ADW Launcher were a little choppy on my Note. I've used LauncherPro Plus for a long time on my Galaxy S and LG Optimus 3D but I think it's getting a bit outdated since it hasn't been updated in a long time.
I'm using Nemus Launcher at the moment and it runs very smooth. It's not the most customizable launcher out there but all my basic needs are there, custom grid size, resizable widgets, maps etc. and it looks pretty good as well.
Thanx for the tip...just tried the one you mentioned and it works very fast on the note! and i noticed you can actually move the icons like the phone symbol and so forth....even better. I just hate the stock rom of samsung, just ugli icons, i always like to dress it up. Now to download phone icon and the other ones, do i have to download these separetly?

Thanks for sharing that, Nemus Launcher is indeed very good. Have tried Go and AWD, but find the simple yet polished look of Nemus better.
Any one got a good recommendations for launchers?

Nova. Love it!
The most popular ones are Apex or Nova Launcher.
Both are great and you can't go wrong with either, I personally use Nova.
i've been using Nova forever and it's great. finally back on a Nexus with Verizon and giving Google Now launcher a run, really enjoy it but missing gestures (especially with such a large device) and icon packs. Wish there was a way to get icon packs to run on here without xposed.
I use Apex when I want the classic style launcher back. It works well.
+1 Nova Launcher Prime
Hands down Nova with prime, I also have Apex but it's nowhere near as smooth.
Action Launcher if you're looking for something a little different. Shutters and covers will change the way you use your phone.
Nova Launcher Prime is definitely the best launcher I've used
Nova Prime for me as well. I have tried others but always come back to Nova
Themer and yahoo if lazy, Nova or Apex if you aren't haha
anyone know if there is a way to back up your launcher set up/widgets in Titanium Backup? I tried backing up Google Now Launcher data and restore it when flashing a new ROM but to no avail...
Buzz Launcher
One of my very first thoughts when I got to the home screen on my N6 was wow the icons are huge. I love the Now launcher but give us some stock options for adjusting....as a result I installed buzz launcher (never used before). I have been very happy with it and I love the quick abilities to change themes. Of course, like other launchers you can change the grid sizes.
Nova The Best!!!
Nova Prime is my favorite.
Nova. Best ever. Epic launcher is a close 2nd.
Nova hands down.
Been rocking it since the days of the T-Mobile HTC G2. Ended up going for Nova Prime and never looked back.
Nova Prime - Beta

Definately, I struggle to use any other launcher. Everything about it is just well thought out.

All,
Just wondering what launcher are you using on your Note 5? The stock Touchwiz or a 3rd party ie Nova or Action Launcher? I'm currently using Action launcher but actually considering going back to Touchwiz.
Love to hear what you guys doing.
Love action launcher! Full of great and smart features. Bringing in custom icons along with changing theme has made the phone a lot more usable for me.

I usually like nova with the hipster icon set but am liking the stock look so far. Will end up going back to nova once Im tired of stock and vice versa!
I hate say it but I'm still using stock. This is a 1st

Nova all the way. Although I have installed the free material design theme and I love it.
Yeah I usually always switch to Nova but for the first time I'm finding the stock launcher not to be horrible.
I'm all for Nova, It does everything I need so I haven't had any reason to stray away from it.
I've always had a 3rd party launcher installed... but as a first, I'm still using TW and am not annoyed. Though I wish the desktop had a landscape mode.
I'm actually really liking the stock TouchWiz launcher. Plenty customizable and crazy fast.
I use Google now launcher or what ever google calls it these days
I typically use Nova. However I loaded it on my Note5 and it doesn't feel as snappy as TouchWiz (can't believe I said that) no matter how much I tinkered with the animation settings, etc.
Using action launcher 3 here, things are pretty great!
Still stock launcher. If I switch it will be to nova, as that is my preference.
However, right now with the material dark them I'm kind of liking the stock launcher...
Rocking out with Stock launcher for now but generally on all of my phones it's a toss up between the Nova launcher or Google now launcher.
Using nova. I did set up the stock but I hate the page indicators which always make my screens look top heavy because i have a 5x5 grid
I am also a nova fan. been using it for years now.
the main reason I just nova is because of the grid setup. Don't like having such a large screen and such big icons, it feels like a waste of space.
Stock TouchWiz is really good on this phone, I can't really come up with a good reason to change launchers, first time I haven't run Nova launcher in years
Used TW for a couple days. Then switched to Nova as I always do. Might try Action Launcher, my buddy swears by it.

I have to admit TW is much better this time around. However, I am still using Nova Launcher. I just like the ability to tweak everything slightly to be exactly how I like. The single largest reason why I went with Nova instead of TW is the option to remove padding around widgets though. it just looks so much nicer IMO.
Solo launcher is pretty good too - you need to remove some of the crapware but it's pretty nippy

Hello, I found this app on which you can have a customizable navigation pill, similar to the one on the pixel devices:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xda.nobar&hl=en_US
I personally prefer the stock navigation gestures on the S10 though.
I used navigation gestures for a long time. Switched to pie gestures for the last few month and came back to Navigation gestures. I hoped that it got better over time as in the beginning it was beta and had some bugs.
In the search I stumbled over fluid NG
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fb.fluid
I use it since then and will try it on the gs10 when I get in hopefully next week. I even bought the pro unlock. Also bought the navigation gestures pro unlock but for now I prefer fluid.
Works even better with root. Just have to wait a little bit for the s10 to be rooted.

there is a native samsung app now called One Hand Operation + you can also find on the galaxy store or Playstore.. it works better on samsung devices.
Thanks all
Am trying them now to see the best of them
