Surprised to not see this posted here. If you guys want to try a VERY impressive launcher, anderweb has upped his game. This really does blow ALL the other launchers out of the water. I think most of you know I am a HUGE fan of LauncherPro Plus.... well, this has replaced it for now:

Strongly encourage the following:
Make sure in gestures you make swipe up show the hidden dock. A lot of people at work did not realize there was another dock! Swiping up for the hidden dock, and down for notifications is awesome!
Play with all of the screen transitions... I love them all, hard to decide on a fav (I use 3 and 7 a lot).
If you think it's missing something, it probably is not. Its in the options.
Be sure and backup once you get your settings how you like! I just flashed axura and restoring was very quick.
the miui theme will NOT work if you have Quick Book installed. NO clue why.
What ADW themes do you recommend?
I gave it a try. Wasn't really impressed. Still the same ADW, just with a lot of bells and whistles. I still prefer how LauncherPro does it.
Its ok. The widgets on LPP give me a clean organized look. With ADW I got a bunch of mismatched messy widgets. To each his own I guess.

I have bought and paid for launcher pro and adw ex and everyone has favorites but I have to agree ADW Launcher EX is the $hit!!
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
fan of adw then switched to zeam...will check this out...
I thought you guys knew this existed and just shunned it. I love it. and there is a bunch of.themes to make it mimmic your tastes. this has many options that make other launchers seem like bullishet. I love it. max icon size for home screen isn't my taste so I set them to eight and I also got the theme that looks futuristicly chrome on my black bg. can't beat this with a bat. plus im learning apk edits... lmfao
I bought it...very customizable....but still no matter how u set up everything....or even if you use the "fast" its not close to being as fast or smooth as launcherpro plus....back to LP plus
Vibrant + Nero V3 + SuperIO Kernel
^^ no man, last year I did a review of all the launcher's, and I felt I was very complimentary/truthful regarding ADW. I do feel ADW EX is a tremendous step forward though.
I hate the initial setup though. Takes a lot of effort to get it perfect... Thank God for backup/restore.
EX definitely looks like a giant step forward. I may give it a shot, but not until Fede releases is LPP rewrite in the next month.

There are actually several sets of widgets you can get that do a good job at filling the role. They are all theme-able and can be made to look like each other. Dont get me wrong I like LPP for other reasons as well, but the nice sense clone widgets are not that reason.
What I am waiting for and what a lot of XDA ADW fans are asking for is the ability to change the dock background image without needing to edit/build a new theme on the PC. Anderweb has acknowledged that and we may see it sometime soon.
I don't know if it is my phone or not, but it runs flawless with Launcher2.
Whenever I replace it with LP plus or ADW EX the lag is present when scrolling the drawer - though EX seem to be a lot smoother than LP plus.
My setup: nerov3+voodoo.
Anyone find the free version that was talked about in the video?

Same with me. Ive tried ADW a few times. Even having voodoo on my phone it still doesnt run that smooth. LP is so much smoother that I just cant switch.

the FREE version is just called ADW launcher. just search "ADW -theme" so you'll have an easier time finding the launcher instead of looking thru a cluster of themes.
OR you can use appbrain and install from there

go launcher ex
I would have to say Go launcher. It's much better than adw in my opinion. Can you give me some info about helix? Never seen this one before
u should make a vote
tried almost every launcher existed and can run on ace, but almost instantly reverted to zeam launcher. zeam launcher ftw

It *used to* be downloadable from the Market but now we can't .
Helix launcher uses the 2.1 style App Drawer and I think is personally faster than ADW .

Zeam, light and simple.
I've used LP, ADW, QQ, GO.
In my opinion GO launcher Ex is the way to go.
The only downside is the small icons.
Respond to Serri330(didnt wanna double post)
I dont really have any icons on my homescreen except the dock(attachment1) but I just hate the space between the dock and the icons(attachment2).
I use GO Launcher EX myself, and I actually prefer the smaller icons. I'm able to see more of my background, and it seems sleeker and less intrusive than stock. Whenever I see my husband's phone (who is running 2.2.1 with Sense UI, no launcher) I'm always amazed at how huge the icons are. It almost seems cartoony and comically large.

Zeam Launcher 4 sure...
Light, fast and everything i need...
ADW Launcher EX (completely diff. from Adw launcher)
The fastest launchers are among launcherpro, go launcher ex and the xperia active. Launcherpro is neglected by the developer though, that's why go launcher is speeding ahead.
But I love the active launcher
zeam launcher.
simple, fast.
Wow , so many people are towards so many different launchers

if you realy like this launcher you could also just flash the new iblur rom onto you phone as it has this as the default launcher and sets your android verision to ios 5 some how. guessing thats just a devopers thing but its there. heres the link to the roms thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1305015

I think CM7 is too good to even think about thinking to go back to Blur.
i think cm7 isnt ready for the atrix. i blur is a new rom worth a flashing if you dont like blur try home base ive been running that and its fast and stable great launcher for a great rom. anyway im over cm7 till its out of beta or maybe even then i dont know.

CM7 has the notification quick settings that can be changed and has stock 2.3.5 look. stock camera app. also it has a screen capture app built in. I can't stand the ugliness of Blur. TouchWiz, AOSP, and Sense all look a lot better.

Im in need of a new launcher :/ i currently have launcher pro plus but doesnt look like its gunna get updated anytime soon. i have tried go launcher but it was meh. i have heard great things about ADW though. Opinions?
I have used all of those launchers, and I keep coming back to ADW. I think it runs the smoothest, has great theme options, and more customization options (IMHO).
I would definitely suggest try it out. The great thing is that you can download Homesmack, which is an app designed to help you toggle between launchers easily. That way, if you don't like ADW, you can easily switch back to another launcher.
EDIT: Also, this thread has A LOT of great info on launchers for you... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1428022
I have used a bunch of other launchers and I use both Launcher Pro Plus and ADW EX. LPP is my main launcher and ADW is used as my car dock in landscape mode. No other launchers really suit me. Even though LPP hasn't seen an update for a long time it's still the fastest and smoothest launcher to me.
Regina Launcher is not and got some nice options
Hi Launcher is amazing and is completely different from other launchers, instead of changing the homescreen, you can change part of it while keeping the other part as it is.
ICS Launcher by Team Syndicate is very good
I dig ADW Ex. I've been using it way before I even thought about rooting my phone, lol. It has vast customization options to tweak your phone how you want it. I can't go without it

I used launcher pro for quite a while, but after going without an update for months and months, I switched to go launcher. I liked go launcher, but there was a small delay whenever I clicked on the app drawer. Eventually I purchased and switched to ADW launcher. In my opinion, it is the best of the 3 I tried. So many themes available, and so much you can customize. Also runs the smoothest with a live wallpaper running.

I love go launcher ex. Came with a rom I flashed a while back and now I am addicted to the features.

I think launchers like launcher pro, ADW, Go Launcher, etc. are pretty much all the same. You get the multiple screens with widgets and an app drawer. I get bored with that stuff sometimes. I've enjoyed Go Launcher. But when I get bored with that, I switch to Launcher 7. Its really nice if you theme it right.
GO Launcher is kinda nice. I used it for awhile and really enjoyed all of the GO branded apps it allowed you to use. Im currently using ADW EX and I like it quite a bit. GO felt a little too gimmicky and unrefined in comparison to ADW EX. It wasnt as smooth. There would also be random times when GO somehow wouldnt work and I would be reverted to my old launcher.
If I were you I'd try the free version of ADW and GO then you could make a better pick.

So I posted this little mini review over on Google Plus and thought I would share it here.
Remember I played with this at 1am in the morning so it's probably not that in depth! LOL :silly:
Got my +Chameleon Beta email and installed it around 1am LOL....couldn't sleep....I have restless leg syndrome, sucks. Ended up until 2:30am playing around with it.
It's not as impressive as I thought it was going to be, to be fair it is in beta. But 5 widgets doesn't seem to be enough to properly test this thing.
A few things I would suggest to +Chameleon .
1. Make the grid resizable to smaller areas so you can fit apps on your home screen if you want.
2. Make the grid accesible to other widgets not just +Chameleon widgets.
3. Get rid of the dock or make an option to get rid of it.
4. Allow users to set their own wallpapers not just +Chameleon wallpapers.
5. Check your Instagram widget because mine worked for a few minutes and then stopped, even after taking it off screen and putting it back.
6. Allow for scrolling left and right not just right, the homescreen on a regular Android is center and you have other screens to the left and right. With +Chameleon you have the homescreen justified left and can only scroll right.
7. Allow for wallpaper to show in app drawer.
8. More animations needed when scrolling.
Overall this has potential as long as they can make widgets for several and I mean several applications. Such as Google Plus, Flipboard, Pulse, Currents, facebook etc etc.
Right now I still prefer Nova Launcher by +Kevin Barry because it offers so much more customization and options.
+Chameleon please don't take this is a bad review because it isn't. I realize this is still beta and I hope my input could help you out. Thanks

Interesting to read/see as I've been curious about this launcher. I've probably tried every launcher and yet this one slipped by until I heard about it a month ago or so.
Used to be adwex only, but since development on that stopped Nova prime by teslacoil has been my go-to.
Interested to see how chameleon turns out, hopefully it doesn't end up another niche like spb, tsf, ss, or hi. Always nice to have options. Wouldn't mind giving them my money to try it out. Lol.

Interested to see how chameleon turns out, hopefully it doesn't end up another niche like spb, tsf, ss, or hi. Always nice to have options. Wouldn't mind giving them my money to try it out. Lol.

I'm the same way, I've tried everything including the expensive ones, TSF and SPB....like you ADWEx was always my go to....but Ander Webbs still supports ADWEx as far as I know. And Nova Launcher is built on top of ADWEx......but yeah Nova is my go to now....Kevin Barry has good apps like Widget Locker...and now Nova....top notch
I too love Nova but wish they would let me do more than seven spaces in the home screen..you(Mortem) have seen my screens and I like to be able to push things around the wallpaper design to not disrupt the design....in which case I have fallen in love with Apex because twelve g(

I am getting highly irritated because I've yet to see any updates to Chameleon Launcher. They need to step it up.

I was under the impression non tablets were not supported (per website). I suppose as long as the resolution is good, it'll work.
How about font size and readability on the note? Screen shots maybe? Thanks.

It's for tablets only. I'm using it on my Iconia. Though I did hear someone side loaded it on the note and it worked. But they did change the dpi.

I know I'm super late on this thread but I side loaded it on my Note and it works fine, I was kinda excited about it but it doesn't have many features so I uninstalled it.. I will install it again and post shot of my screen..
