New Nexus Launcher - Quick Review
A quick look at the new Nexus Launcher. APK/ZIP download: http://www.androidauthority.com/download-nexus-launcher-apk-707338/ (Must flash ZIP in TWRP/CWM for "slide to Google cards" to work). Big Differences: App Drawer: -App drawer button gone, allowing for five icons in dock (seven on tablets). -App drawer now accessed by swiping up from bottom of screen (persistent arrow). Issue here with tablets in landscape mode, as navigation buttons get in the way. -App drawer is wider, takes up the full screen (top notification bar changes to dark mode to accommodate) -On tablet the app drawer is now six-apps across rather than five (phone still has four across). -New lighter design for app drawer text. Folders: -Apps no longer stack and come out of the folder. Instead, they form up to a square with the first four apps, with the apps inside the circle. -A new animation when changing between pages inside a folder. -Folder names now bolded. -Issue with icons in expanded folder cut off on phone in landscape mode. Google Search Bar: -New rounded design. No more persistent search bar on every page. Only on first page. New block connecting search button to Google Now cards page on far left. -New date and time widget opposite new search button. No way of removing it. Only on the first page. Wallpapers: -New layout for selecting and updating wallpapers. Twitter: twitter.com/nwithan8 Snapchat: @grtgbln Instagram: @nwithan8 Thanks for watching!
