Hi folks,
Just wondering which launcher works best with the 10.1 G8. tried both ADW's and I kinda thought they don't seem optimised for tablet yet especially the EX version. Tried the VTL and didn't really like it, Go Launcher! last tried it on my desire and never really liked it. Any suggestions
Cheers
vtl launcher, in my opinion, is best for tablets. it allows the dock to set at the bottom of the screen and you can theme it with adw and launcher pro themes.
Y I also moved from "launcher pro" which i use on my phone to "vlt" for my 101.
Anyway I noticed a BIG difference in speed from the low res on my phone to the high res on my 101. The drawer especialy is MUCH slower at my 101 then on my phone (htc wildfire 320x240, just 500MHz CPU)
So im giving this thread a try to find something better in speed
Hoped for all those 3D Lauchers but actualy no good and woring one is out atm...
Regina is just portrait atm - SPB sucks - the only hope i got is the Vega 3D Laucher - but i didn't try this yet.
Thanks for your contribution guys but am gonna give this a shot http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15957249#post15957249 Will let you know how I get on.
I'm currently using launcher pro, because it is solid and much better then the standard launcher. Ofcourse i do believe there are better ones. But launcher pro is just a nice avarage stable launcher.

I occasionally get application not responding issues in LauncherPro when setting up the icons after a boot. I think the issue is due to the fact that most apps I have have been moved to external storage (with my Force2SD), and it takes longer to fetch their icons. I just click once or twice on "Wait" and they show up eventually, but it's annoying. Maybe LauncherPro is doing something in the wrong thread. Maybe some icon caching would help.
This is just the icon caching. All users that use a SD card has this on the archos. But the launcher does determine how long this wait is. Currently i switched over to a new launcher called "go launcher". Unfortunately Google market wont let archos users download it. Search in the market for it, then go to their site and downlaod it from the developers. Its really different compared to other launchers but runs smooth and many customisations avaible.

I use Zeam launcher and love it, although it doesn't have so many crazy, fancy options, its praised to be the fastest Android launcher

I was with ADW, which was great but i read a post which mentioned Go Launcher and it was much faster than ADW in every way, for example when loading after being killed. Also it has a System Persistent which was the best I've had so far, but ADW beats Go at Themes which i didn't really like on the Go Launcher.

launcher pro
I use adw
@OP It would be great if you could add a poll to this thread better view over the launchers
ADW Ex! It's nice on my Asus EeePad Slider and my Archos 70 IT.
All i don't like is the forced buttons on the left from the Archos ROM. It would be nice if i could hide them on the launcher.
Launcher pro suits my need..

360 launcher is the best by a mile use on my phone also

Launcher Pro!
I went for Go Launcher, because I really wanted categorization. Personally, I would have preferred something just like the Palm launcher, and that was the closest I could find.
on my 101it I use ADW Launche EX with ics theme and my custom framework RoTTeNinICE

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.

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.

Lots of chatter about launchers.. apex, golauncher hd, etc which one do you like??? I'm running Nova Prime... it's a paid edition but I like it... your preference???
I use ADW EX with the hubs setup. Smooth...
tried a couple so far (nova, go launcher) but came back to the stock launcher. I think it's better then the alternatives at the moment. Keeping my eye on the go launcher tablet version though
I was running stock launcher for most of the time. Though I have paid version of ADW EX, I somehow did not like it on tablet. Since last one week I am using Go Launcher HD Beta and I like it very much.

Same here like the options
Apex launcher is definitely the best out of the ones I've tried; I really liked Trebuchet for a while because of how smooth and bug free it was, but there wasn't a lot of options. Nova had a lot of options, but didn't work very well in my experience. Apex has the best of both; a ton of options and it's rock solid. Give it a try.
i have been using SPB Shell 3D.
+1 for Apex
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using XDA Premium HD app
Spb Shell is cool. i just wish we could speed up the screen transitions...it seems so slow.
but it is very smooth.
Apex is so far the best for my needs.
Trebuchet for me, all I need is less homescreens.
ads ex with a hubs layout here. Btw, I found a slightly cumbersome work around for the lack of scrollable widgetw on ads ex. If you use android pro Widgets (calendar, twitter etc)and scroll one of its Widgets,you can then scroll any widget (gmail for example)once.For some reason once you lift your finger, the widget won't scroll again, but you can repeat the process as needed.
Odd behavior to say the least.
I use Nova Launcher Prime with a very minimalist layout. With the card stack animation (for both homescreen and app drawer), and MultiPic LWP on 3D rotate, it looks amazing.
I guess I'll get around to putting some screenshots up in the screenshot thread sometime.
Thanks to those who recommended apex. Using it now and love it!

Same here, exactly the reason i use Trebuchet too.
ADW-EX. Nothing else does HUBS properly that I've found. Scrollable widgets are busted as has been noted and the workaround isn't great, so I'm going to give LPP a try I guess.
I use Nova launcher prime . i love the gestures , and transitions . apex is good too
I've been using apex for the last few days and really like it.. seems like stock launcher with a heck of alot more options.
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:
