Are custom launchers worth it?
I recently switched to Motorola and it definitely has a bunch of features that I really like. HelloUI is better than I expected, with little customization, but very good options like the icon shapes and system colors. However, there's a few things that are really bugging me.
First off, the bar on top doesn't show when headphones are plugged in. It's a very small detail, but pretty useful when testing old headphones or if the jack ever starts to malfunction.
No option for "infinite scrolling" and no "app tray" button option. I would like to be able to use a button to open the app tray instead of needing the swipe gesture, and to go through the home screen and app menu horizontally while returning to the first screen after the end.
The accessibility button placement. Already love this little guy, really comes in handy for many things, but it's bugging the hell out of me that there's no way to place the navigation buttons equidistant from each other. Why can't the other 3 buttons just move a little to the left to accommodate for the fourth one? It looks terrible.
I don't know if a custom launcher like Nova can fix all of this, but for those who have tried one, are there any cons like reduced performance and battery drainage? And do you think it's worth it?
