Best Launchers?

Yoo Guys
Just wanted to get your opinion on what do you think is the best custom Launcher for the wildfire
launcherpro, in my opinion
ADW launcher EX , my opinion (iphone menu slide)
Launcher pro . Fast, smooth, customizable and great widgets in the paid version.

Launcher Pro, preferably the paid version.
Smoother than sense, allows customisable dock backgrounds and numerous rows of them, customisation of the homescreen number, columns and rows per screen and some very nice widgets.
I've tried ADW too, since it's included with Cyanogenmod, and it offers all the same stuff and is also very good. I just happened to start using LP first
1. Launcher pro plus
2. ADW launcher EX
other home alternatives i used include openhome, pandahome, GDE, Go launcher, vhome... best one is launcher pro plus and 2nd to it in my opinion is adw launcher EX
These are my preferences:
1. Zeam
2. Launcher Pro
3. Go Launcher
4. ADW
5. Sense
I´ve tried the 5 and by far (in my opinion) the best performace/simplicity ratio belongs to Zeam.
It´s not developed anymore but is GPL so anyone could continue to develop it...
And at the stage it is, for me it´s perfect
After trying out ahome,panda home,adw launcher,open home and LauncherPro,I'll have to say LauncherPro...It has all the good points of the sense interface yet fully customizable.

Currently I'm using Zeam, it's got some great stuff, like swype shortcuts and home button dock rewind. All I need is placed on just one screen Only thing I miss from launcher pro is hiding apps in drawer.
Well instead of one best, I use multiple launchers with different overall configurations depending on my mood or whatever.
However if you have a lot of applications and want them all on the screen, Go Launcher is good.
And by a lot I mean around 130 applications lol.

Launcher pro is great if you get the paid version; the widgets definitely make it worth it.

[Q] Atrix app screen side to side

hey everyone,
My wife has the Atrix and wants to know if she can change the movement of the apps from up/down to side by side; like my Captivate. Is there a way? We've been looking for a while now and can't seem to find any info.
Thank you,
pappadp
Just download a new launcher, I don't think I've seen one yet that didn't give you that option besides maybe GB launcher. So Launcher pro, Go launcher, AWD, there's a ton of them. Hope that helps.
Cool, thanks! We'll try that this evening...
GO Launcher EX does this well, and it's free.

[Q] Launchers that work for the Streak

OK guys and galz could you do me an oh so large favor of telling or sharing your luck with any working, cool, awesome launchers to replace factory. Such as the launcher you see in this vid (WOULD LOVE TO KNOW THE NAME) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WJh2doIbeg&feature=related
Dell streak 2.2.2 Baseband 345
That is ADW EX launcher and works fine on any 2.1 or higher build for Streak.

try adw, launcher pro, go launcher, and get home switcher for froyo so you can switch back and forth! Hope that helps some
I personally have been using Launcher Pro Plus on my Nexus and the Streak for a long time. I actually really like the Sense widgets, I know a lot of people don't like Sense. I love the customizations available in the alternative launchers. I'm sure you will find one that suits your needs.

Ok i was using ADW which seemed quite nice....then i just gave Launcher Pro a go a few minutes ago, immediately paid for plus and now sticking with it.
I'm running 1.9.1 and with Launcher Pro the general interface is lightning quick and has all the widgets i've been hunting for built in and more stable than the alternatives i'd been putting up with
I'm still using Zeam, and still love it!
I was using launcher Pro for a very long time, but then I tried out go launcher and I much prefer go launcher.
I tried launcher 7 its ok but just not for me
+1 for Zeam launcher, still the best.
Switched to GO Launcher
I too was using ADW Launcher EX but it was hanging up no matter what I did, even after fresh flashes so I decided to try GO Launcher and I really like it so far...
One of the things I like the most is the three App Drawer Modes.
Although I wish it did have the set of customization that ADW offers, that would be the only reason I would go back to ADW is the amount of personalization it offers.
Heard a lot about ZEAM but haven't tried yet, may have to give it a whirl

Same here. Read that it was a small and speedy launcher so I installed that when I went 1.9.0. No complaints.
I've tried a whole bunch. Right now I'm using the latest Go Launcher EX (2.21)
Ones I've used:
Regina
SPB Shell 3D
Launcher Pro Plus
ADW EX
Dell Stage
Claystone
Launcher 7
VTL.Launcher
Zeam
It's all down to personal preference. Big and flashy? Go with SPB. One you can make do anything, basically? ADW, Go, LPP are all good choices. VTL is just a port of Launcher Pro (I think?) but it functions well if you use the phone in landscape mode. Just try the free versions to see if you like it, the paid versions usually only have a couple more tricks up their sleeves.
I use VTL.Laucnher because it optimize for landscape mode. I have SPB3D too,use it only when I play with portrait mode.
I have been using the vtl for a while a I like it a lot
I'm using adw ex paid or whatever and it works perfect for me. I find that the speed correlates to how heavy your widgets are (obviously). I might try go launcher as I've heard good things about it. Launcher Pro Plus is quite nice as well. Their facebook widget is the only thing I wish I could have taken with me to adw.
Question: When you or anyone used SPB Mobile Shell 3D, did it work well in landscape? what were your pros & cons? I'm currently using Go Launcher and love it. Just curious..

I just loaded up Go yesterday and immediately liked it enough to uninstall Stage.
I also use something called Smart Taskbar.
I am using VTL and enjoy all the docks, left, right and bottom, actually the bottom is enough for me as it has a lot of space in lanscape mode. This launcher is made for lanscape mode.
It is a take off drom ADW.

[Q] Fastest launcher??????????

hi!!!!!!!!!
i want to know which is the fastest smoothest and best launcher which work perfectly on our g3 and does regina launcher also works on our g3 or not
Fastest-Zeam launcher
Best-go launcher
-tapatalked by RnB
Regina works. Its on leststious rom u can try it out there
Sent from my GT-I5801 using XDA App
launcher pro plus...fast smooth elegant...download as third party app...
chargeable as on market...
I am using adw ex and it s very smooth. But i think that launcherpro is the fastest and cleaner launcher
ale_bot from xda app
I use Go Launcher but Launcher Pro is good too...
Not sure which one is fastest and it depends what widgets you have etc.
ks Launcher. very basic and very fast
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.kugoweb.launcher.froyo&hl=en
ive tried several different launchers but i keep going back to launcher pro. for me atleast it feels smoother/faster than any other launcher ive tried.
even make a check on windows phone 7 launcher...smooth and elegant....and a unique UI...
You may go for either of the two
1. Launcher Pro Plus
2. Zeam
Both are fantastic.
on my handy,
adw is much more stable than launcher pro
Launcher pro (plus if you want widget but you can use android pro widget too) is for me the best every 3d effect are just smooth and fantastic 3d app drawer doesn't have any lag.
Sent from my GT-I5800 using Tapatalk
If you are really into customizing your homescreen launcher pro plus and adw ex are the best.Regina is a little slow though
The plus version of launcher pro gives some.pretty cool Widgets, well worth the money
Xperia Arc Launcher is supppper nice and fast!
available in Market
I'm using Launcher7 now, really cool UI, but I used GO Launcher EX before that, it performed much smoother than Launcher Pro for me.
I always seem to come back to LauncherPro.. All the others i've tried just don't do it for me.
Can someone let me know that go launcher ex (more ram uses) and android widgets eats battery.
I prefer LauncherPro.
Rocket Luncher is a good alternative .
I am really happy with Sony Ericsson home launcher. It's beautiful and fast.

I like go Launcher or ADW Launcher. Both are good but used go Launcher the most and enjoyed it the best along with goSMS
If you want to be fast, go launcherpro or adwlauncher. However, there's a popular launcher emerging called golauncher. Its heavily customizable and you can make it look exactly how you want. You should check it out for yourself.

I'd say ADW launcher. It is my favourite of all time right now. But I must ask what is Trancent Launcher? I tried searching for it but I didnt find it.
I say adw launcher ex too. It's fast and well customizable.
But...btw CyanogenMod doesn't have adw as stock launcher?
yeah it does
i am running cm7 on my phone
i just wanted to know
because my cm7 is starting to lag a little.
like it takes aa few second to get past the lock screen
and i though it might be launcher oriented
Zeam launcher or launcher pro. I prefer zeam
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
I like ADW Launcher EX in combination with ADW notifier as it is fast and highly customizable.
But the best advice I can give is to try all the free versions of launchers and see which one works best for your device.
