Nova launcher works great with the second screen been using it since day 1 with the V20
What do you mean works great with the second screen? How does it work with the second screen? I haven't seen any interaction with how Nova Prime interacts with the second screen. Nova Prime is a launcher and the second screen is built-in functionality. I haven't encountered how one influences the other. Maybe I'm missing out on some functionality and would love to find out what you mean so maybe I can use it as well.

Im done with NOVA. Stupid icons are difficult to move towards the bottom deck. Makes me angry every time. Also in the beta program and can't get out so I can download the regular version. I use the LG stock launcher now lol

I just tried the latest iteration of Buzz Launcher. It crashed 3x within the first 5 minutes of using it. It was shaky 2 years ago when I first tried it, it hasn't improved in 2 years. Any app that crashes in the first 5 minutes so many times is not one worth investing any more time in for me.

I switch between Nova Prime, Total Launcher Pro, and ADW 2 Pro. TSF shell is one of my all time favorites which I bought for $15 in 2011 but sadly the dev abandoned it in favor of CM launcher which I find is not very good. I'd still use TSF but it has had a bug with the dock for a while now and makes it unusable for me.

The icons being difficult to move on the bottom row is due to the sub-grid option being on. Where you can move stuff in-between grid slots. You just have to find the sweet spot.

I turned it off but it still sucks. Icons always want to combo up with the dock icons or goes back to its other spot. I can't stand it anymore so I left.

I remember when Go Launcher was great before all the extra BS they load it up with now.

I've been using Apex , which is similar to Nova from what I can tell. I don't generally do much, and the only reasons I don't use stock are having a scrolling dock, icon packs, and some drawer tools. So for me, it works fine.

I had been using Buzz launcher on my G3 since I got it. I picked up the V20 today and when installed Buzz I noticed I lost the 2nd screen while on the home screen. It was there when I was inside an app, but when I went back home it wasn't available to use. If I tapped on it, it would show me the time but that was all.

I thought he meant like the second screen being used I thought that maybe some launchers disable the second screen so i was just stating that nova uses the second still sorry for the confusion

I figured out what my problem was--I had Buzz Launcher set to hide the notification bar. I unchecked that and I got my second screen back. Stupid mistake by me. Buzz is my favorite again.

Nova Launcher is one of the best Launchers, higly customizable, you can even set double tap to slepp as in the stock LG launcher, you can backup lancher settings on any cloud platform you want and then restore it from there very easily. I've owned several devices and always managed to restore the same settings on all of them. Tried Action Launcher and others, but always came back to Nova. Higly recommended :good::good::good:

I use Nova Prime I just tried a couple of new ones and no go. When I set up double tap to lock screen and then I use finger print to open it back up it makes me type my pin in. That's a no go Nova does not do that.

You can choose the option to not block it with administrator privileges and you will be able to use fingerprint scanner after double tap to sleep. Dig into nova launcher settings.

No I know that I was talking about other launchers. Nova works fine.
