Trying Android Launchers

[kerravonsen]

Launchers are basically the Android equivalent to a "desktop environment" on a PC. The stock launcher on my device is TouchWiz. I've been switching between it and the Nova Launcher, which is a popular launcher. I tried out Nova not because I really want all the fancy fancy features of it, but because there are a couple of the features I like,

For the Nova launcher, there's a way to enable "Labs" to allow for the weather bug display. Apparently, what you do is go to Nova's settings screen, press and hold the volume-down button, which will enable the "Labs" menu, and then you can enable Labs and the weather bug.

I tried it, and it's about a completely different weather-related bug. :(

I'd browse google and You Tube for advice and reviews and see which launcher might be better as what you have at the moment doesn't sound ideal if it won't let you do what you want.

I'm not even sure which "desktop" my phone uses as I said, I only use the thing on a weekend.

Already did -- that's how I chose which launchers to try. All of the ones I tried were recommended by one person or another. Problem is, not everyone likes the same features, so a launcher which one person loves, could be totally unsuitable for someone else, as I found for me.
