Just got my solar red in. Just wondering what launcher everyone is using. I've always been on apex for the simplicity and stock android feel, but how's the sense launcher on the U11? How's edge sense working with other launchers? And is there a launcher that works with the weather clock widget?

I, as well, and or between Sense and Nova launcher. When in Nova launcher, I use gestures to launch Google Now, and that leaves Edge Sense for my two most used apps; Camera and WhatsApp.

But I've been on HTC Sense launcher for quite some time.

I use Nova Launcher as well, theming it to mimic the Pixel Launcher and with he Pixel Icon Pack to make all icons rounded.

Another, lighter option if you like the Pixel UI is Lawnchair. You can use the same icon pack for completeness. And it also supports Google Now integration (so does Nova).

The big difference between the two is that Nova is more customisable, and Nova supports weather in the search widget which Lawnchair doesn't.

When in Nova launcher, I use gestures to launch Google Now.
You can enable full Google Now integration within Nova Launcher, so that it becomes your left-most home screen.
