Are you guys so dissatisfied with the stock folder icon appearances that you're ok with losing the Knock-On feature by going with the alternative launcher? Or were you not using Knock-On anyway? Or is it that the sum of the alternative features of other launchers is so much better for you than stock? Or the speed?
I used to run Apex Pro on my Droid Razr, liked it a lot, but found the stock launcher on G2 to be everything I need. The Knock-On is awesome and changing the stock icons allowed me to find a theme that works well without being able to change folder icons. Just curious what drives people to alternative launchers on this beast: habit or needs?

Well, as far as I know the stock folder icons and the horizontal movement on the drawer of the LG G2 is enough reason to use an alternative launcher. In my particular case, I can't stand horizontal drawer movement and I think that's the only movement stock LG G2 offers, if I'm wrong please show me the light. ADW LAUNCHER EX got the best vertical movement of the icons on the drawer, Vertical 3D or 4D, don't remember . In other launchers such as Nova, Apex and Holo the option of vertical or vertical continuous is a must. Regarding stock icons is a different story. Icon Pack HD OrbiconS, Icon Pack Blue HD OrbiconS, Vivid Icon Pack, Icon Pack - Vivid v2, Blue Matrix Icon Set, Metro Poly VIP Blue, and others paid versions in Google Play Store are big league in Android world, no way to compare with stock icons of any great machine out there: Galaxy S4, HTC ONE, Galaxy Note 3, Sony Experia Z 1, repeat NO WAY TO COMPARE. Knock-on, Knock-off is a no use for me. The best of LG G2, just my opinion, is the back button display. Remember my friend, in the world of Android phones, rooted or not, alternatives launchers are big words. Just a visit to Google Play Store and they pop up like candies in Halloween ; Zeam, Regina, Unity , SF, Launcher Pro, Tile Launcher Beta, 91 Launcher, Turbo Launcher, Umbutu Beta, Solo, Everything Home Beta, Final, Go Launcher Ex, Action Launcher Pro, Launcher 7 Pro, Aviate, Themer, etc. The list is long. For some particular reason, you can check it out in android forum's - - First of all XDA Developers -- then Android Central, Android Authority, Android Forum, etc., the users of Android phones in a big majority decided that NOVA is the King of the Jungle. I got Nova Prime, as a matter of fact, I got lot of paid launchers but lately in my former HTC ONE and current LG G2 I came to a final decision, of course this is just my particular opinion, right now until another launcher comes forward the faster gun is Holo Launcher HD, that's my favorite, the funny thing is that I got the most expensive three ; SPB Shell 3D, TSF Shell and Next Launcher 3D and don't use them anymore. After almost three years testing and buying launchers, my favorite one is just FREE.
