Just a heads up, you can get the new Pixel launcher from here
http://www.androidauthority.com/nexus-launcher-pixel-716094/

I personally like it more than the Nexus launcher.
Only thing that I might miss is the Google page when you swipe to the right.

"Oh yeah, and the Calendar icon is dynamic, meaning that it accurately depicts which day of the month it is without accessing the app."

OMG!!! How long has it taken Google to get the date right.....such a small issue which came across as very unprofessional
 
Another Nova convert here... too useful and tinkerable to ignore and/or leave for another now.

Pixel Launcher currently doesn't integrate Google Now unless done as a root install as a system app, so that's a miss. Seems lean and light on the 6P, but as everyone else has said, it's not Nova, is it?!

Tried Pixel Launcher on the Pixel C as well... sooooooo mucccchhhhhhh spppppaccccceeee without a DPI change (and I can't be hacked doing that). Straight back to Nova there as well.
 
Just installed it.

Whilst I don't like the design of the wallpaper picker (reminds me of one from 2007), I love the wallpapers and the ability to cycle through each day

OP, the Google Now page to the left is still there, but not when you sideload it from the .apk file.

Your wallpaper makes it looks nice. Think I'll stick with the Samsung launcher for now though, which actually looks almost exactly like Nova... maybe it is.
 
Samsung launcher is nothing like Nova.

For starters, Nova has a settings screen array as thick as a bible.

Google Launcher is Pixel Launcher. It has shifted into its new name (unsurprisingly).
 
This doesn't work with my Note7, seems like a few other people are having problems getting it to display their installed apps.

Using the Nova launcher and enjoying the change from Touchwiz.
