Action Launcher also has them.
In Nova you shouldn't have to do anything, if the app has quick shortcuts simply hold down on it and the options will be displayed such as 'compose' on Gmail.

I just powered on my old S6. It looks like it’s enabled by default and I don’t see a way to disable it in the Nova Launcher settings.
It looks like it is. I just powered on my old S6 and didn’t see a way to disable it. I didn’t even know that it was an option until just now.
I just answered my own question by trying out a Note 8. It does not have the shortcuts. Instead, it probably had them from before, but in the sense of disabling the app, removing it, etc. Nova Launcher should take care of that for me anyways. Seems like the RAM management is just fine too because I tried about 20 apps opened in sequence. A lot of apps didn't refresh at all.
Samsung said S8 and Note 8 should retain 95% of charge capacity over 2years, so that S8+'s batt should still be at peak.
Saying and resulting are two different things. I don't expect 95%, but I expect a sizable amount though.
I don't know mate. Who knows whether there's other background processes etc on it? I don't know if it was flashed and setup as new.
The iPhone was also a year old and likely had battery degradation too.
I want to believe the note is better, but I'm choosing to believe it'll be a bit less. So that I'm not disappointed if it does turn out to be that.
Also the Note is running 7.1.1 and the S8+ is 7.0? Samsung might have made some efficiency savings there too which could push it one way.
Yes, that will make a difference in everyday normal usage. The S8+ might win out over the Note 8 when it's updated to 7.1.1. But only by several percent. The display drainage is what really counts nowadays, since both Android and Samsung's UI is aggressive in putting apps to sleep, and limiting device wakes on stand-by.
Just dawned on me that we may not get our phones on the 5th. I know Apple sometimes ships the iPhone early but then has the carrier hold it until release. I'm starting to wonder if the same is happening here. I mean, shipping the phone out almost two weeks early seems pretty extreme.
Hope I'm wrong.
Edit: And I am!
We’ve received official confirmation from Verizon that Note 8 pre-order shipments have begun, with deliveries expected on Tuesday September 5th. That’s a full 10 days ahead of the official street release date, which is September 15th.
A Verizon spokesperson told BGR that “we are prepping preorders for shipment and customers should start receiving their orders as early as next Tuesday.”

Wow! My network still has to contact me with regards to my preorder. Hopefully I get the phone by the week of the 11th.
My network hasn't contacted me yet either. I just want mine on the 15th as promised. I'm off work that day so will be in to receive delivery.
went in to EE to check out the note 8 and very impressive. Phone is very long though. Was tempting but will wait for the new iphone.
I looked at this device yesterday, and it looks like an impressive device. It is huge though and totally impractical for my use case. The general feel of the quality is perhaps the best I have seen however.
The fact that's it's huge is part of what interests me.
You girls can put them in your bags! lol
I'd look a bit stupid wearing skinny jeans with a telephone book in my front pocket
Should make the Welsh women excited. They'd say to themselves, "My, my, what a big one that Englishman has. Do you think it's an iPad mini or a Note8?"You girls can put them in your bags! lol

You can always get a man bag.
Haha it is really tall, which I personally loved. I used to rock a 6S+ and that fit into my front jeans (just about) so hopefully this does too as they are about the same height!
Can't believe Verizon are shipping them out so far ahead of time too!
The Note 8(3300mAh) impresses again. Beats the S8+(3500mAh) and the S7 edge(3600mAh). OP5(3300mAh) was the winner by 8 minutes. Of course these tests are not scientific, but this the second test that I've seen the Note 8 battery life shine.
