Nokia Z launcher

[Spizz]

I just saw this on my news feed. Anyone tried it yet?

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nokia.z

I've got a busy day ahead, so will probably give it a whirl this evening and see how it goes.

I'm using it. It is still in the "quality and different" phase, but it is a clean look, and I will give it a few days at least.

Use the option below the play store logo it says something like "don't have play store?"

Thanks!
For anyone else, go to https://www.zlauncher.com instead of the playstore link in the op

There are ways around this , via the play store itself and not even side loading

Do tell!

I tried using a vpn to access the playstore on the web and it let me get as far as clicking the install button but at that point it failed with an error about my device being in the wrong country.

Anyway, side loading from the zlauncher site worked well and I'm enjoying the launcher so far.
Just no widgets which I'm missing

The way I install foreign apps is VPN to US BUT you do not use your usual google signed in browser, instead use an alternative browser that is not already signed into your account to sign in and the play store will pick up your location as the states then you just install from there like normal

Any feedback so far? I redid my phone, took me a while to get it back on - but I'm still enjoying it. Simple, clean interface.

 

[b_crazy]

Too simple for me. If that makes any sense. Went back to the stock HTC sense in a few hours

 

[Sherbang]

I'm still using it and enjoying it though it has crashed a couple of times and I still miss having widgets.

Let me add:

I enjoy a home screen with my choice of app shortcuts and selective widgets. Didn't like searching for an app every time I want to use it.

I ran it on my G2 when it was still in beta... Really liked it but then never installed it on my phones thereafter for some reason

You didn't give it enough of a chance.

It learns your most used apps and puts them on the home screen.

+1. Was quite a lot nicer after a week or so

I've only started using this today. So far I like it.

Is it only me or why does my phone make a sound for every percentage the battery gets stronger while charging?
