Their own, running on the TouchWhiz 4.0 framework.
Touchwiz 4.0 actually looks badass, I can't wait to try out the new notification and widget features.
Go Launcher EX is the best at the moment
quick fast, fully loaded, all free
think of LauncherPro Plus + ADW EX + Stock + Task Manager + Handsent SMS + ...
yes all those combined into 1 package, it's awesome!

I hate go launcher, nothing but bugs on my captivate. Everytime I reboot the phone, all the settings I set are put back to default.

I have to agree with you on that, it also seems buggy on my end and it's slower than other launchers.
If I had to choose the best launcher it would be between zeam for its simplicity and performance, or launcher pro for its excellent customization and paid version features.
Just realized that we are going waaay off-topic now
ADW Launcher EX for me btw
It's Cheese Whiz 4.

thanks for the info, my favorite launcher is the launcher pro plus but i am looking for something new, but all the other launchers are crap in my eyes. the one on the samsung galaxy s2 looks nice that is why i am asking.
This video shows off the new touchwiz launcher quite well.

Thanks for posting; the UI looks pretty good. I like it a lot more than MotoBlur but I do love Motor's Widgets for texts and stuff.

Hi gang....just checking...will launcher pro run on stock rom and whats the biggest features or benefits of LauncherPro?
I am using LauncherPro with stock 3588.
Following are some advantages.
Number of icons on the home screen can be customized.
Dock can be customized.
Faster than the stock classic home.
Also, you can install a Home Switcher like Home Switcher for Froyo to switch between multiple launchers.
Thanks for the reply......ill give it a try now.....thx...

I went ahead and got the paid version of LauncherPro. I absolutely love the calendar widget. There are few other cool widgets in there as well but the calendar was enough for me to shell out $2.99 or whatever it was.
Title says it all.
I have tried launcher pro and AWD. AWD was laggy for me so I uninstalled it. I didn't give it a chance. What is your favourite launcher?
I would go with Launcher Pro, doesn't lag at all for me
I had used ADW for a while, and didn't have too much trouble. But today I just switched to LauncherPro and I'm loving it. I like the window animations in the free version, I LOVE the dock customization and icons and such. I agree that it seems to be really snappy and doesn't lag and such either. It's a little harder to customize icons on the home screen, as you have to delete the current one and add a new custom one and change the icon while adding it and such. But overall, there isn't really anything ADW can do that LP can't!
Launcher EX is pretty awesome... and its free. check it out

thats what iam using as well. works fine!
I use ADW as my "main", but also have Android Seven pro, Go Launcher EX, HeLauncher, LauncherPro, Regina Launcher, and SPB Shell 3D on my phone.
I haven't had time to try them all out fully, and that is why I have so many............so that I can experiment and see which one or two I really like, then set them up how I want them. I have been using ADW EX for a while, and really like it. I haven't experienced lag, but I will say that Go Launcher and LauncherPro do seem a wee bit smoother from the minimal time I have spent "playing" with them.
My plan is to have one main launcher for my every day use, then maybe one or two more for specific times. Maybe a launcher set up solely for multimedia, one set up solely for business, etc. That's what I love about Android since I jumped off the iPhone ship..........the possibilities really are endless!
I use both Go Launcher EX and the paid Launcher Pro. Personally I find myself using Launcher Pro the vast majority of the time. Go Launcher had some cool options, and changing docks and icons were a bit easier, but Launcher Pro has some nice built in widgets that tip the scale in its favor for me.
I really don't like the MotoBlur Calendar and Facebook widgets, and none of the 3rd party ones really gave me what I was looking for. But the ones that come with Launcher Pro are just what I was looking for, and they are easily skinned as well. Plus Launcher Pro runs very smoothly, much better than Blur.

I have the paid versions for both ADW and LauncherPro, but I run GO Launcher EX.
SPB SHELL 3D
At least the best eye candy by far. And the folder widgets are amazing. Though if live wallpapers and landscape mode are important for you, stay away.

MotoBlur launcher o/
Been using ADW Ex for almost a year, first on my Milestone, now on Atrix. It's fast, light and customizable as well. I recommend it 100%
I've been using Go Launcher Ex. I like it more than launcher pro. I will definitaley try ADW.
MotoBlur launcher is the best, by far.
Nah, I'm just trollin' ya. I haven't found a launcher that I liked. LauncherPro lagged for me somewhat, and it didn't offer some features that I wanted. Doesn't the launcher lay on top of blur already, laying on top of android stock? (or modified to use more system resources)

I have now tried Launcher Pro, ADW, and Go Launcher. None of them are near as fast as stock launcher (not motoblur, I'm using gingerblur). I really like the features that the launchers offer but I wish they were just as smooth as stock.

Err, Moto IS your stock launcher!
And GingerBlur is NOT a launcher, it's a P-ROM/THEME!
on the stock gingerblur launcher though, don't you notice slight stuttering when compared to launcher pro or other 3rd party launchers?
Hi anyone who reads this, im currently wondering whats the best home launcher that people are using. i know there are alot which have ups and downs but i feel there is not one truely dominant launcher i have heard of.

BTW its not a place just to slag off anyones hard work making a launcher ect, id just like to hear other peoples views
Thanks

ADW launcher or go launcher.
I don't like se launcher at all. The bottom bar is far too fat and it has no customizability
Mostly agreed, but i like the widget overview
it would be adw but you cant add the arc photo widget. so i think it be the se 2.3.4

launcher pro because
1) I like the scrolling calendar and facebook widgets (paid version only)
2) I like the ability to hide certain apps from the app folder
3) its very stable for me
I'm interested to see what features other launches have over it though as development on launcher pro seems to have slowed somewhat.
My faves are stock 2.3.4 and LP.
However i prefer LP for all it's themed HD icons and tweaks available.
Is there a way to theme icons for stock 2.3.4 ?
+1
I really can't live without the scrolling calendar i LPP. I've tried another scrolling calendar that worked on stock SE 2.3.4. But it was to ugly...
SE Stock have two major features I miss...
- 4x4 icons (I want 5x4)
- Can't customize shortcuts

GO launcher has a scrollable calendar i think with smooth page transitions so i liked that when i used a calendar.
Also, it has many tweaks to get it how you want, maybe an alternative to LP as it now seems that its a pretty dominant launcher
Fave Home Launcher
I've been using SPB Shell 3D for almost a year now so I would say its almost my perfect choice but I love the one from stock 2.3.4 too.
Currently, I use Launcher 7.
nemus launcher for me !
stock se 2.3 home and Nemus Launcher,because of speed and simplicity
Defo Sony 2.3.4 stock launcher. Looks good, simple to use, and really 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.
Hello and a good day
I have an Samsung Tab 2 10.1 GT-P5110 and am looking for a nice and smooth working launcher to use. I don't like the default launcher that comes with my tablet and tested some others (SPB shell, TSF shell, GO Launcher EX and some more). I currently use GO Launcher EX but i think it's kind off slow and am wondering which launchers are the best for Android 4.0
I like Apex launcher
lol .. Am testing the Apex launcher pro atm
It looks good and scrolls better then GO Launcher EX. Maybe you can tell me about how the theming part goes. With GO Launcher EX you can download many themes, does it work the same with the Apex launcher or do you have to customize it manualy?

Apex is awesome. It pretty much beats any launchers out there in terms of features on the free version.
The pro version is great because it supports GO Launcher themes.
Backing up and restoring desktop settings is a breeze. The speed of the app is great. The only real issue I have with the launcher is the wallpaper resize issues and redraw issues.

That's a big + ... the support for GO Launcher themes. I see what you mean regarding wallpaper resizing. It's not a very sharp image compared to GO Launcher EX. For the rest it works great and it's faster then most of the launchers i tested.
I think i just found the launcher i was looking for.. thanks!!
phoenix launcher,
Phoenix Launcher is your choice in home screen replacements if you want some look and feel of the Android 4 (Ice Cream Sandwich)

Did a search for it in the play store but all i found are Phoenix themes for the GO Launcher EX. Is it a launcher or a launcher theme?
Apex
Apex Pro is a great choice. I use it on my GS3 and my Nexus 7. Love it!
Hello guys,
I think Nova Launcher is the best!
Nova launcher is probably the best for 4.0. I run that on my old TF101.
I also run TSF shell on my phone, which is pretty awesome but its very resource intensive.
Nova
I prefer nova due to it's stability and wider support but apex is also a very good choice :good:
hello guys
best launcher for tablet device is TSF shell according to me .. it look cool and responsive as w:good:.... :laugh: :good:
