To everyone saying they switched from iOS to Android, congratulations, I wish I could enjoy my transition. I just miss to much of the iOS tweaks and apps.

Mehh......for me the transition couldn't have been any simpler. I went ahead and bought a note 10.1 also so I've nearly abandoned apple besides my Mac (which is the only thing I like coming from apple these days)

You can download the Nexus digital clock and use widget locker lockscreen to make it look closer. The rest would just be using jellybean icons and transitions.

I have had my note 2 for a week or so what r the benefits of nova launcher?
Thx

you can add gestures. For example, if I swype up it launches google now, or double tap launches the camera app. You can hide unwanted apps in the app drawer and change the transitions on the home screens and app drawer. You can create folders in the app drawer. You can change the size of icons. Basically it gives you the ability to customize everything.

Is there any risk to the phone?
Also do you have any wifi issues?
Thx for the tips.

Nova Launcher is amazing. If you want the full benefits of the launcher though, you'll have to upgrade and pay for Nova Launcher Prime. Well worth it IMO.

No crashes, lagging, freezing, etc.. if anything, makes it even faster.

I will defiantly try it thx.....

Well i have spent the last two days studying Nova Launcher and widgetlocker and testing everything out. I have to say it really becomes a no brainer and i love it. Gives me a stock look and feel with some of the touchwiz features i like . Defiantly recommend :D
