Nova all the Way

Nova is way better and responsive than apex.i found apex to be smoother but a bit laggy.

Apex is much better. I found nova to be really laggy and just too slow guys.

I actually purchased Nova Launcher Prime, and I'm very pleased with the newest version, I know it's only getting better. Gestures are great, vertical scroll in app drawer, and rock steady on my phone - even though I'm running the beta.

Nova all the way.

Sense 4.0 for me lol, if I was using an ice launcher though it would definitely be Apex for the features.

I have Apex and it has folders....ICS Remix 1.1[/QUOTE ]

It has folders on the launcher screens but not in the app drawer. As far as i know they have enabled custom app tabs with their latest update but thats not the same.
Anyway hope they do it someday cause its a nice launcher!

Does the Apex backup and restore desktop items work? I cant seem to get it to work at all.
Never restores my icons?

Apex restores settings fine, but freezes and does not restore desktop items.

Nova has folders in the app drawer as well as homescreen, and you can even use custom icons for them

Really? Apex doesn't have folders in app drawer so for now nova has the advantage.

Folders for drawer are planned for apex as well. Bought apex just to reward them for having way more free features than nova which in its free version is severely limited. Basically with nova anything worth mentioning is paid version only.

Apex pro also allows call and SMS counts on your apps which gives it the edge for me. You can also create groups for your apps in the app tray which negates the need for folders to some extent.

I've tried apex, nova and trebuchet thinking they would be an upgrade but nothing beats GoLauncher.
