Most useful replacement/new apps.

Everyone doesnt like Touchwiz bcoz of its functionality especially pre-Htc Sense users like me,so it would be helpful to know what alternatives you are using and also their compatibility with the Note as of now.
Currently I have replaced the dialer and contacts with Go contacts ex,using MX video player for music...etc
What are ur suggested apps?

cant agree more

LP is great and all but the dev team hasn't updated in ages and some of the notification doesn't work (ie gmail)

LP+ is indeed great, but I have now switched to ADW because LP+ just seems to have no ongoing support and doesn't really offer anything that you can't get with Go Launcher or ADW (in fact it now offers less than each of those launchers).
In terms of replacement apps:
I prefer Opera to stock - proper text reflow on pinch zooming plus better tabs management
Dice Player is easily the best video player available for the Note.

Been using Go launcher,I can say till now for me its the most lag free with best widgets support,especially the new Message widget...it luks awesome.

[APP][4.1+] Better Launcher (KitKat based)

Free download here:
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.betterapps.betterlauncher
Description
Better Launcher is a new home screen replacement app for Android 4.1+ . It's based from the Launcher app from Android 4.4 (code name KitKat) , it supports all the functions of the home app in Android 4.4:
Main features:
• Scrollable dock with up to 9 icons per page and up to 5 pages
• Enhanced performance and stabilities over the default launcher
• Tons of fun animations, effects and other eye candy
• Homescreen gestures (pinch, swipe up/down, double tap)
• Theme engine compatible with many Launcher themes, including GO Launcher, Adw Launcher, Nova Launcher, Apex Launcher, Holo Launcher etc
• Change folder preview, icon size, animation speed, and many other things that you won't be able to change with the default launcher
• Unread Counts
• Backup/restore settings and data
• Optimized for both phones and tablets
• Lots of other customization options!
Why use Better Launcher over the other launchers?
• It's has many bug fixes and performance/stabilities updates from Android 4.4
• It's lean and small in size
• Allow widgets in the dock
• Better theme support, it loads most of the launcher themes on the play store with no problems
• Supports all of the Next Live Wallpapers

Thanks for your support. Please test it more and let me know if there're any issues.

thanks i will test for three days for any bugs on htc one

This is huge
This is the first time I test a launcher and it is so effective and exceeds the best like nova or apex
Thanks
Edit: one hour after, high consumption 100 mb and it will up 180MB and battery drain

It's designed to use any much ram as it's available (i.e. aggressive/persistent mode in other launcher) by keeping things in memory so that things run smoothly. If other apps need memory, the launcher will release the memory for other apps.
Which device do you have? The launcher will use the memory if your device has lots of free memory.

Is there a way to remove the Google search bar from the top of every homepage? I know that's stock kitkat but it's a real waste of space.
In other respects though, this is a very nice launcher.
Edit:
I've worked it out. Under launcher settings-homescreen-search bar I've selected "Invisible" & the search bar not only disappears but the rest of the homescreen expands into the vacant space.
I'm going to see how I get on with Better Launcher as my default launcher for a few days.

This is the best launcher for now !! 5 stars from me on Google play

Awesome! Please remove elasticity/bounce in home screens and drawer and it's perfect! By far the best kitkat launcher I've seen.
Sent from my SM-N900T using Tapatalk

Clean look, awesome theme support. Animations are wicked and customizations from the next level.
Only thing that bothers me is that the homescreen animation lags, no idea why. The app drawer is insanely smooth.
Using it on my Xperia P with Carbon Rom.

Great launcher with lots of customization. There is some lag with the gestures and when you press the menu button while at app drawer, the regular kitkat settings appears behind the apps. Please remove the bounce animation at homescreen and app drawer screens

after one day - it's like hybrid between Google launcher and ADW launcher it's laggy not smooth at all
but 100% themes supports :angel:
i prefer LAUNCHER 3 FROM cm11 :silly:

Awesome start for a beta! Beats the rest out there kitkat wise.

I have nexus 5 so I have enough memory
Yes this is what I have seen and finally memory is controlled
Congratulation for this first launcher to be as fast
But personally I miss them option as :
- backup widget
- drawer icon replaceable by another app in dock
- swip up/down is too long to execute (in nova is perfect)
- white effect of the transition hurts the eyes
- and the battery consumption is too high

So after a couple of days I'm really liking this launcher. It's like an updated version of my old favorite Holo Launcher. I couldn't live without the 1x1 widgets in the dock that Holo & Better Launcher give me. Holo Notifier even works with it.
I've had no issues with it at all. No force closes, no undue battery drain. For the time being it's a keeper.
I do have one request for the next update. Can we have custom tabs in the app drawer please?

Nice launcher. but I have some issues
- It take to long to make a gesture.
- I can't turn off the bounce effect.

The launcher doesn't do anything when it's not visible, it certainly not the source of the battery drain issue.

That's one of the planned features, it will be available in a future update. Currently I am focusing on ironing out bugs.

Are this project dead ?

I do hope not. I really like the launcher but I was hoping for a few more features like app drawer tabs.

[app] kaip, a very cool icon pack

Meet KAIP it's a really cool and geeky icon pack. The app brings over 2500 icons themed, 150 variant icons, 30 generic folders, 20 drawerheads, a set of navbar actions (though I do not knwo how to change the icons of navbar actions) , settings shortcuts and 35 Cloud Based wallpapers that blend perfectly with the icon pack.
FEATURES
Support for every major launcher (Including Action, ADW, Apex, Atom, Aviate, Epic, Go, Holo, Inspire, KK, L, Lucid, Mini, Nemus, Next, Nine, Nova, S, Smart, Solo, TSF and many others)
Support for CM Theme Engine, LG Home and Xperia Home.
Built-In Icon request tool [No email required]
cloud based wallpapers
So, it's a really cool IP that I wanted to share with everyone there are tons of geeky folder icons such as :Superhero heads, movie icons (Star Wars, Harry Potter...etc) and also a very special collection that features many funny reactions of JonTron, why? Because why not???!!!

so how can i get the icon pack?
