Launcher reviews? - Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am using villainrom 12 and have always just used sense, but I would like to know if there are any good sites with reviews of the other launchers out there.

Trying AWD.launcher just now. Seems ok, but maybe a little too sensative at times.

Try launcher pro.It's worth the trouble.

Have taken a liking to zeam recently ...

+1 for Zeam. Also pandaHome seems good.

Would there be any benifit to installing the modded HTC keyboard to use instead of the version that comes on the phone?

I do.... its themed all pretty and I have all my custom settings saved to SD from nexus... I love the options the mod has available...

Thanks for the reply-- The settings was one thing I have backed up and one reasons I was asking.
This mt4g works so well I'm scared to start loading other things on it!! LOL.....
Nah, the hardware is great but I wish they would have shipped it with the desire hd Rom, which is why I'm running it already
Sense is amazing but tmo got their grubby little fingers in it and borked the hell outta the experience.... imo

Update;
woodrube has a great thread going with alot of great information on the apps. Check out his thread, link below

Just wanted to let you guys know that in the android market there are a few apps that are bring sold for 10¢ . I just picked up swift x keyboard.

Just an update guys android market just added beautiful Widgets to the 10¢ deal.
Sent from my T959 using xda premium
Holy crap BEAUTIFUL WIDGETS?! gotta get it...
Sent from my Vibrant
Those are the two apps I have purchased so far.
I would have too but I've had beautiful Widgets since the mytouch 3g
Sent from my T959 using xda premium
Not a big fan of beautiful widgets. But I did grab Reckless Racing HD for a dime. Theres the regular version and the HD and they arent labeled very welll. I had to go in description to see. The way for you to tell is to get the one that DOESN'T have the editor's choice label.
seems the 10 list changes daily, thats pretty awesome, some of these are pretty decent deals.
Anyone have anything good to throw out on airsync? is it only compatible if you use there doubletwist media player?
Just pucked up adw launcher
Sent from my T959 using xda premium
Just to let you know I have a thread going about these and am updating the OP with each day's list of apps. Some good deals but mostly seems like some heavy gaming apps with a few productive/utility types thrown in for good measure. there was one today that was 46mb download. That is massive.

No problem.
Btw N8ter said that the Market is acting wonky today and nothing is downloading or updating. Haven't tried anything today (nothing really looks good to me), but just an fyi

Meh, its ok but its not better than sense imo, also takes a lot of RAM, it has a cool interface but I wouldnt recommend it due to it being a paid app

Exactly what I was thinking. Well said.
If you want a new, unique launcher, try SS launcher... It takes some playing around with to fully get how to set it up, but I love it...

It's a great app. I bought it ages ago. But it is very RAM heavy and I'm not sure if I prefer it over sense (I tend to go back and forth from time to time). The slider is really cool though.

U want to post some screens of your setup and help sell that way overpriced launcher? I'm using the paid version of SS launcher, and I also have ADW EX, so buying the apps aren't a problem, the launcher just seems confusing and cluttered and the screens don't explain its functionality... I've always been curious, but have never heard of anyone that owns this...
If not, no big deal... I'm just curious...

[Q] Would YOU drop Sense 4 for a fully working stockish Jellybean ROM?

...or would you wait for the official HTC Sense Jellybean? -- which is WHO KNOWs when
Dropping Sense has been my first wish for every sense phone i've owned.
Yes. Yes. Yes.
I would stop everything I was doing and immediately flash that bad boy. Not a second thought.
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
Not forever, but I'm not rooting until CM10 works.
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
I can't wait until the AOKP or CM10 ROMS are available. I will install one of those and not think twice about it.
AOSP all day everyday! Screw Sense!!!!

I had the galaxy nexus and got rid of it because it felt cheap.
Swype is starting to be a good alternative to the stock sense keyboard so I would gladly install AOSP JB

SwiftKey keyboard will blow your mind FYI if you've never tried it. Way better than either of the aforementioned keyboards.

As I love the camera software on this phone, I am not sure I would want to lose Sense camera
I ran Cyanogen on my OG Evo... but I have really come to appreciate much of what sense has to offer.
I think that between Car Mode, Camera App and Dialer (all of which I use every day) I could not stray away from sense for very long. I know that there are 3rd party apps that emulate what sense can do but they really aren't up to the level that sense is.
I would definitely flash it to check it out but I'm pretty sure I would return to sense in short order. I hope that the official HTC Jellybean / Sense combination will be as awesome as I think it can be.
Deck already has cm10 booting, so give it a week or two. Check the cm thread for the video.

What features of the dialer do you like? If it is the "T9" aspect of it, you can definitely get that elsewhere. If I'm not mistaken, CM7 had that before Sense did.

Totally agreed, I really love the camera software and the continuous shot mode. The camera aspects of the phone is what really sold me in getting this device.

I definitely don't dislike CM... I just like the functionality of sense (beyond the widgets). I feel the dialer is just laid out better in sense - easier to navigate (for me). It is the lesser of all the things that I mentioned but something I noticed nonetheless.

Sense 5 why and why not

This is dedicated to us phone freaks who love Android and flash till we can't flash anymore. Do you like sense 4 or 5 or just aosp? I'm running 5 and love it little to no issues. What have y'all experienced good or not so much. I know our device is up to get the update and can't wait. So in summary yea or nay sense 5

It's not bad, but I like the tweaks in viper rom, and not interested in the one, so going to stick with viper...

Yeah I like the sense 5 phone, photos, blinkfeed although it's a ripoff of flipboard. I wonder if we could us sense 5 as a base and viper on top of it? Hmmmmm

At first I hated Sense 5, but it's grown on me. I still won't use it as a daily as there are still bugs, but look forward to it's official release.

When bluetooth is added, I'm in. That's the only reason it's not my daily today
I have been a die-hard AOSP fan for quite a while. But, this sense 5 ROM has been on my phone for quite a while now,...I'm surprised. I kind of don't like the phone UI cuz it just seems awkward to navigate and see what you wanna see. I do like that HTC went back to vertical scroll in the app drawer. I hate when my desktop and drawer scroll the same way,..confuses me lol. I like the distinction.

Tried sense 5 for a few days, then back to viper. I really like blinkfeed and the new widgets, but not enough customization options yet. Not a fan of the 3 button menu or app and folder names on my homescreen. There may be a way to disable them but havent found a way yet.
I actually really love the Sense 5 Rom, but I'm sticking to RootBox until they fix a few small issues (mainly the music duplication issue that annoys me beyond extent)

Only Thing that kills it for me is the camera, i cant stand the fact that if i hold down the camera button too long and it goes to burst mode that t freeze and the fact that the gallery doubles all stored photos. They fix those two things and ill be all over it again
Honestly if Netflix were a go I would be too

Nay until camera burst mode, double images/music files, blue tooth, gps lock, and browser video sound get fixed
