Android Note 4, Stock OS and Launcher:
Try smart launcher. They have a free version. I bought the paid version after using the free one because I loved it so much.
This one does what I need so no biggie there. I've tried several. Over the last few months. I'd really like to try some of the fun ones that let you totally build your own shell, essentially, but I find them to be cumbersome and all that.
I'll give SmartLauncher another go and see how it does.

cool. It only takes about 5 mins to setup. Use the Ubuntu or Unity theme.

How do I change the theme? Or can I do that from the free version?

You have to download the theme separately from the Play store.

Does Smart Launcher not allow use of the stock Flashlight widget

I'm curious to see what the new Nexus is going to look like, and how expensive it's going to be. I really wish I was on Android for my main phone.
The pixel? it looks ok from the leaked stuff so far...but anyone taking bets on whether it'll have expandable storage or not yet...? The biggest downfall of the nexus phones (still love my 5, but it's just so limiting only having 12GB usable storage...)

I think you need pro for that.

I wondered about that... then I realized I actually had purchased Apex a long time ago. I saw it when I did a search for launchers, lol.
That one works well too.

I'm using Nexus 6p with Android 7.0 here. Hoping they fix the BLE bugs, and the issue with Cisco Jabber.
I'm really liking Android N, many small tweaks that I really enjoy!

I have Nova Pro and I used it up until I found Smart Launcher.
Have you ever used Nova?

Nice...I'd post mine but I use widgets on my main screen to show calendar and to-do lists...don't think anyone would be impressed with my busy schedule...Soccer, School Events, Kids, Kids, Kids...
I am actually using Arrow Launcher on my (replaced) Note 7 and like it a lot. I like the ability to set up as many widgets as I like on one page that vertically scrolls. It can also be mixed with standard app or app folder icons....the only thing missing for me is the ability to save Chrome Web Pages to the "desktop."

Yeah. I was trying it again when I saw that I'd purchased Apex. I like the feel of Smart Launcher, so I may snag it too.

Apex and Nova are practically the same thing, right? They use many of the same themes

Pretty much, yeah, they are.

@IRJ -- Question about Smart Launcher... How do I get more than one widget on my screen without using the "widget screen" ?
It also appears that the stock Flashlight / Torch Widget does not appear in the paid version either.
