I'm curious to see what the new Nexus is going to look like, and how expensive it's going to be. I really wish I was on Android for my main phone.
The pixel? it looks ok from the leaked stuff so far...but anyone taking bets on whether it'll have expandable storage or not yet...? The biggest downfall of the nexus phones (still love my 5, but it's just so limiting only having 12GB usable storage...)

Does Smart Launcher not allow use of the stock Flashlight widget
I think you need pro for that.

I wondered about that... then I realized I actually had purchased Apex a long time ago. I saw it when I did a search for launchers, lol.
That one works well too.

I'm using Nexus 6p with Android 7.0 here. Hoping they fix the BLE bugs, and the issue with Cisco Jabber.
I'm really liking Android N, many small tweaks that I really enjoy!

I have Nova Pro and I used it up until I found Smart Launcher.
Have you ever used Nova?

Nice...I'd post mine but I use widgets on my main screen to show calendar and to-do lists...don't think anyone would be impressed with my busy schedule...Soccer, School Events, Kids, Kids, Kids...
I am actually using Arrow Launcher on my (replaced) Note 7 and like it a lot. I like the ability to set up as many widgets as I like on one page that vertically scrolls. It can also be mixed with standard app or app folder icons....the only thing missing for me is the ability to save Chrome Web Pages to the "desktop."

Yeah. I was trying it again when I saw that I'd purchased Apex. I like the feel of Smart Launcher, so I may snag it too.

Apex and Nova are practically the same thing, right? They use many of the same themes

Pretty much, yeah, they are.

@IRJ -- Question about Smart Launcher... How do I get more than one widget on my screen without using the "widget screen" ?
It also appears that the stock Flashlight / Torch Widget does not appear in the paid version either.

My Nexus 6p has 64 - used by system, so I have plenty of storage for my day to day needs. Though I'm pretty sure they sold a 128 GB version.
I go back and forth on expandable storage thing. It was clear that 8 or even 16 GB internal storage was to little for me on my Windows phone (with 4 GB taken by the OS), but now that I have 64, I took a ton of pictures on my vacation and never received a storage warning, so as long as I can get through a single vacation with picture storage, I'm golden.

I have a difficult time filling up 32GB. I have 64GB now and I never even get close to filling up. Anything of importance is on my google drive or another cloud location.

I don't use widgets so I am not sure. I know there is a widget page that you can swipe to from the home screen.

Does your device delete the local copy after it copies things to the cloud?

I use Privacy flashlight and put it on my home screen.

Of the screen shots shown, I'm surprised to see the phone icon is missing - I guess you guys don't use the phone portion of your device much.

Not instantly because I space is rarely a problem for me. I clean out my phone from time to time.

The phone icon is right on my home screen as well as my apps screen. Look at the first 2 screenshots.

Aww, it's on your home screen, but not in the dock (I'm assuming the icons down the left are sticky - i.e. always show).

The icons on the left are just categories. There's a category for communication, games, internet apps, etc.
