Are there any /g/ approved launchers for Android or are they all a fat waste of time? Talking of launchers in the regular store since I don't wanna bother to root and all that shit.
I've been running 4.4 for a couple years now and it's getting a little boring and sometimes lags a tad bit too much.

I have pic related so you can put it in perspective.

Doesn't Cyanogen require rooting? That's the type of thing I meant. Probably got my terminology wrong.

>>52301720
Why would you want camera samples? I can tell you it's not particularly excellent but I don't use it all that much so it does its job fine. Have a random pic I took of a friend's tablet running OoT.
>>
>>52301976
cyanogenmod doesn't. I redid my galaxy S3 with 12.1 recently.

>btw on topic - nokia z launcher is pretty good

Holy shit, how did I never know about this? Diehard nova user here, I'm actually really impressed by how different yet functional this launcher is. Definitely gonna give it a shot for a little bit.
>>
>>52302247
Is Nova good? Was just checking it out and seems pretty fresh. Is it smoother than vanilla android?
>>
>>52302286
Nova's what everyone uses for a good reason. It's functional and fast and good but a little boring. Trying out the Nokia one just because it's a bit 'fresher' but I have a feeling I'll go back to Nova before too long.
>>
>>52301976
Unlocking, yes, rooting, no but at that point it is one extra step so why wouldn't you
>>
>>52301976

Why would I want camera samples? Because I want to see how the camera is just curious is all have you not taken a single picture with it?

ADW pro is nice.
Better than what comes with Lenovo A328.

Try lightning launcher

It has a ridiculous amount of features, many of them very unique. For example, you can freely scale and rotate items and you can scroll both horizontally and vertically.

There is a learning curve, but you can do some pretty amazing things with it
>>
Launchers are for autists
>>
>>52301720
Can confirm, used it on my nexus 5, shit was goat.

Currently using the stock lg launcher on my g3 though.

>>52301678
Nova launcher pro

Catapult from F-Droid

I just use Apex.

I really miss having a physical keyboard.

>>52302310
yeah best 10cents I've ever spent. only which they had a way to stop all homescreen long-press actions.

Use KISS launcher. It's both on Google Play and F-Droid. It's smaller than 200 kb and I love it.

Nova launcher
>>
Using Nova for 2 years, is there any foss that's better yet? KISS is too edgy and I need grouping/folders. Catapult doesnt support 4.4
>>
>>52301678
The only reason I have to use an alternative launcher is the vertical scrolling in the app drawer, but for some reason in Nova and Apex it's choppy, and if I'm going to use horizontally scrolled cards I might as well stick to the stock LG launcher.
>>
>>52301746
Is this bait?
>>
>>52314085
the only reason i use an alternative launcher is because i want an app drawer. the stock one is a shit and doesnt have one, all apps are on the home screen. well im kinda at fault myself for buying a ching chong huawei
