scratch that. Apparently, even Go launcher has the toggle status bar and open notifications widget. So, it’s Go launcher all the way now.

Anyone notice that the wallpaper is not positioned properly. It is positioned higher than it should be. It might even be zoomed a bit.

I’m aware, but I shouldn’t have to do that every time.

i leaped on this last night… didnt think twice… loving it… @ 4$, quit your bitchin’ if you used and liked this in the past… pay for it out of guilt… this dev makes good apps… and sticks to working on them… thats why when i saw it being made by ‘teslacoil’ that i was willing to pay months ago

If you long press on the widget or icon you are trying to remove it gives you a option to delete it without moving to the x you dislike.

How sad. Someone here said weeks. I can guarantee a dev works months on an app such as this one. If you want the premium features, you should pay the $4. Otherwise, be quiet and happily use the free app. Shesh.

I agree with this…If you cant understand that 300 plus for a phone runs us dry…we all arent really out buying every new phone that comes out btw….we pay that much for a phone that will do whatever we want it to do. we do not intend on getting nickel and dimed…sorry devs…no offense…it is what it is…

Not good enough for me even now. Loved the “toggle status bar” and “open notification” buttons and ability to add widgets page in app drawer. And the folder background option. But still, Go Launcher Ex is my go to launcher..

Purchased. No question my favourite launcher.

Maybe my tastes are just evolving in the whole smart phone thing, but back with the OG I couldn’t stand the stock launcher and was LP and ADW for a long time. But NOVA just gussies up the stock a bit and ads a bunch of crud I have no use for. That notification bar up there, yeah I use that all the time, why would I take it away? Multiple docks, woopdeedoo. I have more screen space than I use ever anyway. I mean what’s the point of 5,6, or 7 walls if you’re going to load up a 1×5 slice and just twitch it back and forth. Same effort as swiping a whole screen right? Do you really need 5 blank walls? or worse — 5 walls of apps and widgets? (Kellex we should get a poll on best widgets too) I was hoping for more somehow.

Maybe when I break down and root/unlock I’ll get more into the custom launcher for a more personalized image. But I guess I’m pretty happy with what Google did this time.

Man! I didn’t even see the invisible folder option. Sweet! Now, I just need to figure out how to get jaydotelloh’s graphics into them.

And if you developed something for me that I loved, I’d sure spend $4 if you asked. Or I’d buy you a beer if you weren’t asking for donations and ran into you at a bar.

If your choice of phone changes the quality of your life, then maybe you should re-think your choice of phone. And if your choice of phone means you can’t offer up a beer to an awesome developer, then maybe you made the wrong choice in phone.

^ THIS!!!! I was beginning to think I was the only one that wants this feature. With almost 200 apps, the non-continuous horizontal scrolling in the app drawer is ridiculous.
