Nova Launcher? - Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl

Hi all. Does anyone know yet if Nova Launcher will work on the Note 10.1 2014?
And, if it does, will the S Pen still work?
I use Nova on my Galaxy Tab 10.1, and can't imagine using a tablet without it.

I'm using Nova, works well, pen works too. I've only lost Samsung's calendar widgets.

I second that Nova is my choice and is running great on the 2014 edition.

+1 for me too...

Does it help with the lag?

I'm not experiencing the lag the reviewers reported. However, I'm not using My Magazine and I only have 3 home screens with a total of 5 widgets on them. Plus I'm not running a live wall paper. But lag or not, this is how I want my tablet setup.

[Q] Launcher Recommendation?

Hey guys wanted to ask can someone recommend me on a good launcher to use on AOKP M3 , im currently using Nova but i dont see any diffrence from it and the default launcher except of some moving dock and THATS it.
could someone recommend on a good/fast/not battery eater/interactive launcher?
Thx
Edit : A lock screen widget to show missing calls and sms or a launcher feuture?
Nova never did feel right to me so I never gave it a chance. I threw Apex launcher on and I'm quite content with it. A good amount of customization but updates seem to be slow. A lot of promised features though so it's one to keep tabs on.
I'm using it right now and it works for me.
Edited.....
I am using ADW EX right now and its pretty rich in customization. If you really want something with WOW factor check out THIS BEAST
Apex Launcher.
Its like Nova but way more graphical effects. You can get the Beta over in the Nexus S forums.
I've been using ADW Launcher EX for as long as I can remember and I feel it to be the best for what I need it to do.
Im using nova. it comes with frequent updates. no issues with it since i had my device.

Samsung SuperNote and/or S-Note on our Nexus 7

Hey!
I like Supernote and S-Note on Samsung-Devices, its a smart and fast way to memo or write something.
It's possible that Supernote and SNote works well on the Nexus 7?
Is somewhere working on Nexus 7-versions of Supernote and SNote?
Thanks and a nice evening. :good:
Hi,
that would be very nice. I hope, anybody is able, to port this App to the Nexus 7
Tim
Would presume that apps like that will need the touchwiz framework for it to run.
So I think that only a full touchwiz port will work.
hm, okay. I hope, it will run without...
Tim
use supernote from asus transforrmer
i upload 2 versions,try them all

The second one works for me fine. Thanks alot! Now I need a stylus
Does it support mathematic funktions, like the SNote?
i don't think,but you can try and delete if you don't like
OK, first I try it in my DesireHD, because, I get my Nexus at the end of the month I will report, if that works, or not
Tim
It would be soo great if somebody could bring the SNote on the Nexus7.
I have tested Supernote. But this app has no math plugin.
i don't think of.surely it requires tw frameworks and dependencies,but also if a working port of touchwiz is available,inside that i didn't find anything related to spen..if it was possible,i think users like madphone could already done that..but it isn't so..!
but why does it needs Touchwiz? I think, Touchwiz is the UI of Samsungdevices. I hope, anybody can explain that

Because Samsung makes great hardware but their software division likes to make things as complicated as possible so they are more in control of their builds then the user is.. Samsungs stupid qmg boot animation format is a perfect example.

Touchwiz is more than the ui, it encompasses all the internal OS changes as well. For example, you can't just rip out the "Pop up Play" feature out of the Galaxy Note II, as it relies on some of the internal OS tweaks to function. Same with some proprietary apps like S-Note, they may need the internal changes present only on Touchwiz ROMs.
Still no possibility to install S Note on Nexus 7???
Is there really no possibility to install Samsung S Note on the Nexus 7?
I even flashed a custom rom, which is said to port Touchwiz on the Nexus 7, but I still can´t install the S Note apk.
(I am prevented to post outside links -.- You have to search mrmad.net CodenameSammy 1.2, there you will find the rom)

yeah man,it's famous,but it's only a cna based rom with some touchwiz touches(TWframeworks,APKs,etc)
it's a well known fact that the tw dependencies limit the port.being closed sorce,tw ui need rewritten code for working on others non touchwiz dependent phones.i don't say that it's impossibile,but very hard and long.doubt we will ever see anything related
You should use Myscript Calculator. It does the match functionality perfectly.
Lecture note is better then snote
I hardly ever use s-note on my note 10.1. there is a- note hd for the note that you guys might like better I dont have a link but its available in the note 10.1 forum ...I do not really use it but it looks kewl..
I use lecture note and Franklin planner for the note 10.1 ..s note is useless without the S- pen in my opinion ...
I wish myscript would release and enhance their notes program. Its fantastic just for the handwriting recognition same with the samsung keyboard handwriting recognition. Have been wondering if the 7notes keyboard is worth just getting

Best launcher that works on the 8.9 HD?

I don't like go launcher too much, wallpaper doesnt stick very well either. Any suggestions?
I didn't like go launcher too much either, it's better on a phone. I just started using apex launcher and I love it. Not sure if adw works but It was one of my favorites on my HTC, imagine it would be pretty good for tablet

Unfortunately, it has the same issue as other third-party launchers (except ADW): you can't move icons around in landscape mode as a result of a screen rotation bug.
Has anyone tried Trebuchet?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1410674
I may give this a try. I've only just finished rooting and I haven't installed a launcher yet.
Go Launcher HD also works well and does not exhibit the landscape-mode rotation bug when moving icons around.
just started using Smart Launcher, and so far I really like it. It's minimalist yet pretty customizable and automatically categorizes apps. It's also seems to have a much lower footprint than the stock launcher so everything's a lot more responsive.
I tried out different launchers and ended up with APEX, it is working very good, never any issues. Feels like a real ICS/JB tablet.
Holo laucher HD is also light and very pretty! It's worth trying it!
NOVA issues?

I'm not sure what the deal is but I used KindleFree to "hack" the 8.9 a bit and Nova seems to be very glitchy/sluggish. It doesn't hold the wallpaper beyond a few days (reverts back to stock ice cream sandwich rainbow looking wallpaper). My folders and apps seem to stay put though. Anyone else battling this? It really struggles when I get notifications in the drawer. I have to actually reboot it a lot, as it freezes up on me.
I have tried uninstalling it and reinstalling. No dice. Can't really wipe things out (system, dalvik, etc.) either being a semi-hack with KindleFree. I would love a workable ROM on this like CM10 or something. Seems complicated though.
Another vote for Nova...I use it across every device I can
Honestly Nova launcher is not your best bet because it is not made for tablets. My suggestion is Apex Launcher. Its almost virtually identical but features tablet mode and is light weight and fast. Now if you wanna make it run flawless your gonna have to tweak your device to act better. My suggestion is SetCPU for over/underclocking and Pimp My Rom for everything else. After I did that my Apex launcher behavedand still behaves quite nicely.

[Q] Lag in general... Just a few Q's

I REALLY want to like this device... I have the P600 I got in on that WOOT! deal. I have the iPad Air, and I thought this would compliment it for work purposes...
I have a custom 4.4.2 custom ROM on it, but even on stock, it's just LAGGY. Orientation takes a good 2 seconds to register. It's just choppy, even using Nova.
You guys have any tips? Thanks in advance fellow geeks

Try the Apex launcher.
I Use Next Launcher have no problems with lag. orientation is instant.

I use it with stock touchwiz and it is still unrooted. I have no lag issues of any kind. I generally stream via netflix, my tv provider and using mx player on my home network. No issues of any kind. Browsing with firefox works like a charm.

What Launcher?

Just wondering what launcher everyone is using. I like how smooth the stock Pixel launcher is on it but drives me nuts that I cant mess with grid size or have pull down notification panel from anywhere like on Nova. When I use Nova it doesnt seem as smooth to me almost like it stutters when I go to Google Now or opening and closing apps. Never has done it before on any other phone besides this one. Just wondering what everyone is using and if there are other options that have that pull down option. I know i can use the fingerprint scanner to pull down on Pixel but it doesnt feel natural to me after so many years with Nova.

Yeah I've had it I dunno how many years and that's what is weird why it stutters on this one of all the phones I've had.
Also been using Nova Prime for a long time on numerous device's!
Nova prime since first Nexus phone, every year new one, now pixel 2 xl, never failed on me.
Another loyal Nova user here. The amount of custom features is worth it

Been using Google now launcher for a while with xgels module (RIP) then switched to Nova prime until I got my phone and now rocking DU rom with GNL hider module and it's working flawlessly.
Nova prime FTW!
Always, Nova Prime
Apex Launcher has all the same features as Nova, but I don't think it has the Google feed integrated.
The Microsoft Launcher has a fresh take that is also visually appealing.
And finally, Evie Launcher is worth checking out. It's not as feature packed but it's growing every week.

I think this is my 4th device with Nova Prime and of all the issues on all those devices, Nova was never, ever a problem.
Leads me to think might be something else, since you're the first user I've heard on this device having a problem with Nova, and with so many people using it, if there were an issue with Nova itself, surely more people would have it as well.
You running Xposed or something that could be messing with it?

Nope I am completely stock not rooted. I had the one options in developer turned to .5 for animations and turned it back and didn't see any real change. And by stutter I don't mean like horrible can't stand it. It's just like a tiny tiny hiccup of movement. I love the phone and it's not big deal to me because I like Nova that much just was curious to see if anyone else had the problem and or use another launcher that I could try out and see. I tried lawnchair and it seems smooth when it doesn't crash on me. That is more annoying then the small stutter on Nova.
My 5th device with Nova Prime! ?
Nova Prime since my S4 days ????

I've been using Flick Launcher Pro for the past week and although it's in development, it shows a ton of upside. Nova is a more polished as it stands right now but Flick will get better with time. Flick gives you all the goodness of stock plus a lot of extra customizations.

I love trying new launchers that rethink how we should interact with our phones. Nova is great, but it's just more if the same old launcher UI that hasn't evolved much since the early days of Android. Thanks for the non-Nova suggestion!
