+1 the changing between home screens is terrible. You can literally watch the lag. Cool "themes" poor execution.
I suggest freezing motoblur. Mine works perfectly!!
Worked fine for me, it just lacks about any kind of custom setup beyond the theme which are pretty sweet

No problems here either, simple but smooth and fast. I like how you can flick up to hide the status bar
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=988430
Found a bug since this doesn't work with other launchers found on my device. Whenever I reboot my phone, some of my apps are missing in the App Drawer, but when I go to say Launcher Pro or Arc Launcher, they are definitely there and I can open them up. Has this happened to anyone else?? If the developer can look into this, hopefully it will be fixed in the next release.

I tried it quite a while ago but wasn't very impressed. I'm pretty sure that GO Launcher EX will let you set up a swipe up gesture to hide the status bar, among other things.

It seems like LP bogs down SO much after a while.. to the point where everything hangs. I revert to the TouchWiz Launcher and it's like night and day, with the same widgets + feeds and updates.
What gives? Anyone else notice the same?
Yeah I notice it for sure. I haven't noticed it since the lag fix, but it has only been a couple days.
Launcher pro is way quicker than touch wiz for me. Before and after I applied the lag fix. I also try and reset my phone every other day our so.

I did one of the lagfixes but I undid it and decided to do a factory format. I don't notice much difference, except for when LP lags up the whole phone. I've gone back to the TWL and things are snappy again.

I've never seen the need to reset every other day. But I do notice LP seems really fast with transitions.. but there are some bugs here and there like the preview cards getting jumbled together and such.
Uh. use ADW Launcher? no problems with it with lagfix, I don't know why so many users of the Vibrant community dislike ADW Launcher and is mainly biased towards Launcher Pro.
the only thing i liked about ADW was the option to make more icons fit on the screen. other than that i think TWlauncher is smoother and less buggy. plus the multicons app does what i liked from ADW anyway
Lp is the best! I hate that adw replaces the menu> settings with its own preferences....stupid. Plus lp is faster than anything else

I have nothing against ADW, but I'm using LP right now so that's why I posed the question.
I use launcher pro for one reason. I love the calendar widget. I do notice that it gets a little laggy every once and a while and most of the time a reboot takes care of it.

Seems like you have a pretty big grudge against ADW Launcher. Using another launcher would "solve" your problem. What does LP have to offer that is making you stick with LP? Both are great launchers and the winner depends on the users' personality.
@disturk: It replaces the notifications button on the menu. Is notifications on your menu really necessary? Plus. I believe LP also replaces one button with Settings.
@bromat80: There are other alternatives to the widget, and if a launcher is lagging me then to my opinion it wouldn't be worth having if it lags. At least not until the developer fixes the problem. Try CalWidget as a alternative if you were to experiment with another launcher.

I guess what I was getting to is that I like both ADW and Launcher Pro equally and what makes me choose LP is the calendar widget. The lag doesn't bother me. I was just pointing out that I do notice that it does get laggy and normally a reboot takes care of it.
I personally find Launcher Pro more elegant.
No lag that I notice.

Whoa whoa, whats with the attitude bro? if the OP likes a certain product and want to support it, he can do whatever he wants. It sounds like you are the one with the grudge against LP. I personally like LP because it does 3D App Drawer and 5 icons columns on desktop. AND it's fast as **** on my phone.

Yea, launcher pro all the way, my phone used to lag with touch wiz all the time.
LP here. Absolutely no issues at all. Incredible.
Hands down TouchWiz is most definitely the fastest launcher of them all. I see no reason to use third party launcher other than to customize a few things. Does TouchWiz look like the iPhone? Yes! Does the Vibrant overall look like a better version of the iPhone clone? Yes!! lol. Do I love my Vibrant with all of my hear? *$#@ YES!!! but that is besides the point I am trying to get at
Launcher Pro sucks in my opinion, and is much much slower than TW. You can tell by that it takes a few seconds longer to initially load the icons when going into Applications. Transitions just aren't as fast either.
ADW is probably a tad bit faster, but you still can not compare it to TW. I do wish that I had an option to go back and forth between stock and TW. Hopefully that will be made available in 2.2.
I would say stick with TW, make life easy
You can change the speed at which the applications load in the drawer on lp. I don't think anything is farr than instantaneous
I prefer lp because I don't like the side to side scroll in the app tray. I have my speed set higher than the default values for lp and experience no lag.

So, I've been looking for a better tablet launcher for the nook color. LauncherPro doesn't cut, and I've never been a fan of ADW and its variants. So, I searched for the Galaxy Tab Launcher, and I found one that this link: (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=805264)
I am running CM7.0.3, and it works just fine. I think there needs to be some value editing to make the 5x5 grid spread across the whole screen and to make the app drawer take advantage of the whole screen. Also, it force closes when you select any of the dock icons. So, it needs some help, but it works well. I haven't dived into the APK yet, but I'm sure there are ways to make it take advantage of the whole screen, considering the Galaxy Tab and the nook are the same resolution.
I prefer Zeam, it works well and is really lightweight.
Zeam is laggy as hell on my nook. How did get you get the app drawer to go faster than a snail stuck in molasses in January. I can't take the lag of zeam.
Sent from my vision using XDA App
I think you're the first person I've ever seen post that Zeam is laggy. It's been faster than any other launcher for me, on both my HTC Aria and on my Nook. I've paid for both ADW EX and LP Plus, but don't use either since Zeam just runs so much smoother.
Yeah, it's buttery smooth on my 528mhz Touch Pro2 running a patched together froyo build off an SD card.

Other than that, speedy.

See, I normally use LPP, but the home screen for me on my NC is bad. Scrolling works fantastic, but loading it and the widgets (about 4-5) is like watching a 3 year old draw the screen.
For now, Zeam, waiting for better.
Zeam is a bit of a clunky program for me... I am using ADW EX and have no problems. It is very smooth and fast.
Go Launcher Ex is pretty good. Themes, customizable icons, speedy app drawer.
I enjoyed ADW but clicking any of the apps on the dock bar caused them to disappear (because it kept thinking I was trying to remove them) or for the dock bar itself to disappear (because it thought I was trying to hide it). I used to keep apps on the desktop just so I could repopulate the dock bar as the apps disappeared, then I gave up and started using Zeam.

Same here. I've always been surprised when people complain about ADW being slow. For me it's quick and as smooth as glass. And I love the 3-D home screen flipping animations. ADW EX and Fancy Widgets Pro really make for a nice environment, IMHO.
Is there a way to put a stock Froyo or Gingerbread launcher?

Have you tried locking the launcher in memory? LPP has the option in it's preferences also CM7 has the option in the the settings... Worth a shot, works great for me...

Alright Then Well There's ADW Which Is Cool And There Is GOLauncher EX. Those Are The Top Two. I'm Using LPP, Sorry You're Having Issues With It.
I too had major issues with LPP on the X2. I was a long time LPP user, but switched to Go Launcher and I haven't looked back. I've been using it for a little over a month and I haven't had a single force close or redraw. I won't be going back to LPP anytime soon.
The only thing I missed from LPP when I switched were the calendar and agenda widgets that were built into LPP. I downloaded Colorized Widgets (free) and the widgets are nearly identical to LPP.
I was using the FB and Twitter widgets. Not sure if they were causing the issues! I would get freezes that sometimes turned into force closes. Attempted to contact the Dev..., UH but you know how that's goes sometimes with some of these guys!

It was FC on me everytime I swiped to switch screens - made it completely unusable for me. I have tried them all, and nothing beats ADW EX in my opinion.
Rock solid.
Same thing is happening to me. I already bought LPP from the market, it was like $3, I really don't want to shell out another $3 or $4, I think developers should be fixing problems with their apps. I've bought so many apps for a purpose and then later they stop working because of a new android version, or they just become buggy altogether.
Go Launcher EX is free and has all the features of the paid versions of LPP and ADW. Plus, the GO team is constantly updating it.
Im sure the widgets have something to do with it.. I have been using LPP since day 1 on gb and not had had a single FC or issue with it.. Its FAST, and i have a few widgets on it:
-the weather channel
-Scorebook
-Sticky Notes
-Touch Calendar Pro
-Digital Clock Widget
-BT/AP/Wifi/GPS On/Off
not a single issue.. also have a few shortcut icons there.
I even had the 3d effect on for a while, but i turned it off cause i liked the bigger icons top and bottom instead of the fold over effect.. which is nifty tho.
I run launcher pro and only have had 2 force closes since I updated to gb

Is it me or does it not have an option to hide the status bar? I just tried it out after using LP for a half day and immediately had to switch back. Using Launcher Pro since I updated to GB yesterday, it seems nice, but I haven't found many good themes for it to entice me to get the premium version. On the other hand I came from ADW, and while it seems like LP is better in a few ways, ADW has a large awesome list of themes you can install which has been tempting me to return to it.
I don't know about you guys, but I'm still forced to use good old Launcher Pro on my SGS II. Reason being that it's the smoothest launcher I've tried - in a sense that it's the most responsive to swiping screens. Also, its calendar widget is very nice, same as in Go Launcher.
I admit I'm a bit over-sensitive to even slightest lag. Even a several millisecond delay when swiping screens or opening the app drawer pisses me off.
My personal experience:
Go Launcher Pro - best customization, worst response. Heavy and sluggish. After deep sleep, there's a huge delay when swiping screens, until screens are cached. Until they are, it feels slllllloooowwww. Same on my Nook Tablet - horrific delays after deep sleep.
TouchWiz launcher - pretty damn fast and responsive, but even TW 4.5 has very limited customization. Also, when using multiple widgets, I start noticing an FPS drop in swiping from widget-heavy screens. For example MIUI Clock (from market) - swiping to and from the screen with it will always have noticable frame-skip.
Zeam Launcher - very smooth, but same frame skip problem as TW launcher. Unfortunatelly, very little customization.
Launcher Pro - fastest, lag-free swiping. Sadly, an abandoned project and missing lots of customization that'd be nice for modern ROMs.
Nova Launcher for ICS - fast and smooth, but still FCs every once in a while, lack customization. It's in beta, obviously.
ADW Launcher - haven't tested it for a while, but I remember not-so-great swiping response and lacking customization that I wanted.
What's your experience like? What do you recommend?

Where do you get that LauncherPro is an abandoned project? Yeah, it hasn't been updated in quite some time (May 2011, I think), but the forums on their website looks active, and it's still available in the market? I'm just curious, as I use LP, and I'd hate to see development on it stop.

Development on it has stopped a long time ago. Last update was simply to add transition effects.
Francisco has moved on to music app and other things. His "representatives" (whatever that means) kept telling everyone on the forums that development is not dead, he simply hasn't touched the code for past, oh, year or so. So yeah. It's as dead as it gets.
Forums are active mostly because people are asking when development will continue, begging for updates.
I find ADW Launcher EX to be smooth, and its far better than normal ADW.

This. Been using GoEx for a couple of months now. Have tried other launchers (incl Touchwiz), but keep coming back to GoEx for the reasons Mariosraptor mentioned.
I flipflop between LPP and adw Ex. Given up GO, I found it sluggish and I hate the home icon on the dock.
adw>LPP for customisation, LPP>adw for speed. If LPP had more gesture actions and we could resize dock icons it'd be perfect for me, but development is deader than a dodo.

I like ADW Launcher EX as well... But the thing I REALLY like about LPP over ADW is the scrollable dock, allowing for 10 more shortcuts. If ADW had that, I would move over in a heartbeat.
Was a launcher pro plus user but go launcher is what I prefer due to its widgets, the Facebook and twitter ones are useful for quick updates. Calendar widget is good as well.
I find the supported decant not as smooth as launcher pro but no big issue.
ADW ex is also good use it on my tablet and its fast and customisable.

the only thing that annoys me with ADW EX is that you can not have folders in your app screens like go launcher. yes i know you can have them on your desktop but not really the point is it and makes the app screen full of apps...specially if you have over one hundred...or the feature is there and i do not know how to work it? any ideas from someone to correct me please

Fair enough - but then you have to remember what each of the icons' gestures launches. It won't display it, right? I still prefer the scrolling dock.
EDIT: also, in LPP, you can add gestures to each of the possible 15 icons in the deck as well. Leading to a whopping potential 30 shortcuts, just in the dock. I don't use the swipe gestures though; 15 total dock shortcuts suffices for me for now.
Personally, i prefer and use 360 Launcher from XDA, that is surely the most customizable, fast, smooth and easy to use launcher ever seen!

I would say that the Go Launcher is the most beautiful one in the matket but from time to time you have lags here and there when you turn on effects like sphere or cylinder. for smoothness you can go for ADW Launcher imo I dont like the aesthetics of Launcher pro at all...
Definitely Go Launcher for me. Highly customisable and zero lag.
Of you have lag on wakeup, maybe try a different kernel and governor etc.

Using it in my old Rezound was quite laggy, using it in the newer Galaxy Glll it is very fast and fluid 99% of the time. The one time it annoys me however is when it transitions from portrait to landscape. Making that swap, it kind of hesitates for a half a second or so before it makes the switch.
I have looked all through the menu/settings etc and can not find any way to speed this up. Does anybody know any way to eliminate this slight delay??

Other than the one setting, Apex is fast as hell on the Glll & I much prefer it to Nova.

I can't find any settings in Apex either for you, but in Settings => Developer Options => Window animation scale and Transition animation scale, set them to 0.75x, it seems to speed it up just a tad, by rotating faster when it finally does...
