Hi,
I have been using ADW Launcher for my SG 3 on Froyo. But is this the best launcher app available? How does it compare with the Launcher Pro as well as the stock Android Launcher?
Also, can i uninstall my stock android launcher using Titanium backup?
ADW EX is the BEST!
it all depends on what you want from a launcher, everybody is different.
try:
zeam launcher (free-lightweight)
go launcher (free-has some useful things i havent see in other launchers)
helix launcher
launcher pro (free and paid version)
live home
...
and decide
for me personally its between zeam and go
edit: fixed helio to helix
I like both ADW EX and Go Launcher EX. My number one thing is horizontal scrolling in the app drawer. Vertical scrolling is a joke and completely useless.
Imo, ADWEx. Hands down. The customization is just very high and the 4D gingerbread-drawer style is most epicly epic
ADW EX rocks! Would love a scrolling dockbar on it though (like in launcher pro)

Is ADW EX worth buying? What is the battery / system performance?
if your main concern is battery/system performance get zeam. its free
Will try zeam then.
There are
Launcher pro
Zeam
Go launcher
Adw launcher
Live home
aHome
Gigerbread launcher
Helium launcher(I don't know this one. I just saw something in previous post)
I am using adw. But there are no big diferences between launchers. Everithing is better than stock one. If I should say what's best:
1. Adw launcher and go launcher.
2. Zeam and launcher pro.
3. Others

The customization options in ADW are way too awesome.. I never faced any issues with the battery as well .. Worth a buy..

MY advice is Adw launcher or Gigerbread launcher. I'm using ADWLauncher, but if you google the different launchers, you can see what's works best for you as an individual! everyone has different looks i.e. pros and cons

Gingerbread launcher sucks ! All u get is the dock. No customisations nothing !

ADW or check em out yourself.
I think GoLauncher is the best. For me it looks way faster than ADW.
Deffo LauncherPro for me, quickest out of the lot, and the dock customisation with swipe gesture gives you many more options for quick launch compared to other launchers.
But as everybody says try a few before you buy, as everybody individual.
I use *spark.
Launcher pro is my personal favourite. Swipe gesture actions with scrolling dock bar means 30 shortcuts on the dock alone. Invaluable.

I use LaunchPro instead of TouchWiz and I'm very satisfied,
I can configure more rows / icons than so graphics looks better, I can configure dock (2 or 3 docks also with gesture support) and better support for App2sd after reboot.
What do you use as your home enviroment ?
i use GO Launcher is very fast and simple
I use Stock TouchWiz, i've tried ADWLauncher, LauncherPro and GoLauncher, both a bit too slow for me.. But i'll give i5510's touchwiz launcher à try (For the Landscape support \o/).
The LG Optimus launcher is awesome too, but it doesn't work well on the i5800... it needs some work

depends on which version of LaunchPro do you use,

but I was trying Go Launcher - and the phone was slower

can you create there activities like in LauncherPro ? I think that activities and gestures with dock are the best features of Launcher Pro. And Icons 5x4 looks better then 4x4 or 5x5

Yes, i tested with older firmwares. But i will check it out with JPA
EDIT:
Apps exploring is very fast in LaunchePro but vertical scrolling doesn't likes me, i prefer horizontal.
I use LauncherPro. 8.2. Extremely fast and responsive....

go launcher is great. with ios like features.....
i have used every home replacement, but surely this is diff.
home orientation change is the fastest among all the launchers..
i have go launcher only and uninstalled all launchers even tw launcher thru titanium backup.....
I prefer them in this order :
ADW Launcher (hiding dock and resizable widgets are my favourites)
Go Launcher (a very complete package but consumes a lot of battery)
Launcher Pro (activities and swipe gestures are favourites here)
Zeam (very light weight)
Live Home (3D awesome effects)
I have all of them and keeps changing (killing all other through Task Manager) as per my mood
Launcher Pro is the best of all....

ADW and then Go Launcher.
Zeam when I am running low on resources
Launcher Pro and Live Home when I need beauty over substance
And I did not like GingerBread launcher. Its just bland for its size
What Launcher do you guys prefer currently I am using Adw Ex and it's pretty cool the only thing is you cannot scroll your dock but which one do you guys think is better?

I didn't like either because I thought they were buggy but with the latest ROM I'm using it came with Launcher Pro v0.82 and I actually like it now, no bugs at all so it was probably one of my other apps before, which I haven't put back on this time.
i have never been a fan of ADW because of its laggyness but ADW Ex is amazing!!!!
Adw ex all the way, launcher pro has got A LOT of catching up to do no more lagging, 8 different animation types for switching home screens, Profiles to choose from, and the organization is incredible.

I use ADW on my Eris, (since that's what Conap put in) but I prefer LauncherPro on my Archos tablet b/c of the widget resizing/rescaling. I havent tried the ADW ex...yet...
I prefer Launcher pro because of the sense like widgets it comes with. It has also worked smoother for me than ADW.
Everyone needs to Try adw ex way better than launcher pro and the stock adw, just watch the you tube videos on it. You'll never go back to lpp, TRUST ME....

How does the speed of ADW Ex or Launcher Pro compare to HTC Sense?
HTC Sense is obsolete compared to those launchers. There both fast but right now I prefer adw ex its smoking fast, you tube adw ex and watch what's in store with it

I was a lancher pro fan until I tried ADW ex. HUGE improvement over the last time I tried regular ADW. Still waiting to see what happens with the complete rewrite or LP, but for now I'm gonna use ADW ex.
ADW Ex is blazing fast though Launcher Pro is no slacker either. Performance wise, I am happy with both.
Tough choice... I like that ADW Ex now has the Galaxy S/Iphone style drawer as I prefer the left/right scrolling and candy coated icons over the up/down long list. The fancy ways to scroll the desktop are nice but not essential IMO.
I do like the scrolling dock and widgets that come with Launcher Pro.
Are there launcher pro style widgets for Facebook/Calendar/Text messaging that can be used on ADW or other launchers?
I got to say adw ex, man that launcher is thebest hands down!
+1 for adw ex, i bought it last night it is pretty sick!

I prefer Zeam Launcher to either one of these, it seems to be much faster and I love the dock. It's feature rich, and under heavy development.
Does ADW Ex have the ability to hide apps in the app drawer, like Launcher Pro does? I love that.
It has a like feature, were you make a catalog, and choose the apps that you want to be shown.

I know there is a widget called Pure Calendar that's Sense-like, but it's a paid app in and of itself, so you pay for ADW EX and that widget. It's not a lot of money (like $5 total) but I'm so pleased with all the built-in widgets on LPPlus, I don't know if I can leave it.
Plus, I'm really holding out for Fererico's full re-write that should be coming soon. His website says maybe early January, so the new LPPlus might suddenly becoming a worthy contender again to everyone who thinks it's old hat.
I found go launcher ex to be the fastest ...
I don't believe this belongs in development.

I have to give ADW love... Have used all. Go Launcher was my favorite until I got ADW.. Launcher Pro is nice as well, but ADW is all-around better for my needs. I would suggest trying all three with Home Switcher and see which one you like the best.
Adwex all the way. By far the best with the most options

Here is what I've found with launchers
Most graphic effects and home screen customization: Regina Launcher
Lightest most efficient most customizable options : Launcher Pro and/or ADW
Best themed launcher: Launcher7
other good launchers: Sony Xperia Arc Launcher ($1.99), honeycomb launcher (a lot of bugs but very nice otherwise), and SPB Shell 3D Launcher ($14.99, I think).
Hope this helps I have personally tested all of these launcher and currently have all but the SPB launcher installed

I don't know if they've fixed it yet, but I found that Go Launcher was causing my internal sdcard to get wiped at least daily. As soon as I uninstalled it, the wiping stopped.
I moved to LauncherPro and haven't looked back since.

I've never had that happen with either Go Launcher or LauncherPro - however, I also don't use much in the way of widgets. If someone uses a lot of them, there may be no way around some occasional lag, no matter what launcher you use.
I'm currently using Go Launcher. It's running more stable than ADW for me.
For you which best launcher for the XT720?
I liked the Sony's Arc Launcher
But currently the best for me is the ADW launcher.
The Go Launcher is great, but in my XT720 always gave problem and restart the cellphone.
I prefer Zeam Launcher. Although it doesn't support scrollable widgets, it is fast, lightweight and stable.

Hi
I think the go launcher would be a good choice

Have tried many, nothing but launcher pro does it for me
I use ADWex bc that is what I used from the start, but I have a LPP backup bc I once got in a home loop and it sucked-big-time. Had to restored via TB in between loops. When I say it sucked, believe me, I'm not lying.
Launcher Pro Plus for sure. Aldo ADW and Go are pretty good too. Depends on personal preference I guess.

LPP is good but you need to purchase Plus version to use Widgets.
Go Launcher EX is the best and it is totally free. with widgets more than LPP. And also totally customizable.
i'm too using GO Launcher EX, very smooth and fast, lots of good FREE themes to choose from
I like try new launchers I'm now useing nemus launcher low memery use fast and the best thing its free.

good suggestion
i didn't even know that thing existed
i though they only made the IM chat software
I'm using Launcher pro for a while but, trying Go Launcher ex now.. it looks great and potential to my next default launcher
My favourite Go Launcher
just trying go launcher and here's my thought:
Go Launcher EX eats much more ram than launcher pro... 24 mb compare to launcher pro only 13 I think. what a pity since Go launcher has a lot of themes and customization, but no option to lower the ram comsumption.
Can we tweak Go launcher to use less ram?
Go Launcher Notification seems to be a good feature at first.. but after lot of FCs and a reboot, I realize that it takes 23-24mb to operate... so i needto turn it off.
so... maybe I go back to LP soon..
QQLauncher? It looks nice and I'll try it next
hmm... is there a way to use GO Calendar Widget with other launchers ?
I have the LG Stock 2.3.3 and I'm a little bored of the home launcher. Please suggest home replacement applications.

launcher pro you can hide your apps and go launcher
I've tried almost every free home replacement, and I liked go launcher ex the best. It has superb features and transitions, very customizable and always gets new features.
I've also tried SPB shell which has superb transitions and is the best home screen if you like to show off your phone, but I feel go launcher has better utility, and while SPB shell offers timescape like widgets, we get tired of them very quickly, and its very overpriced.
