Doesn't exists a launcher "king of the hill", try some yourself and maybe you will find the best for your needs. None is perfect, if it's complete and higly customizable is slow, if it's fast and smooth is too simple, if it's higly customizable and smooth has small icons, id it's fast, smooth, higly customizable with big icons is unstable, and so on... good luck!
I think it's Go Launcher Ex or ADW laucher
after try go launcher, launcher pro,regina launcher and zeam im always back to adw couse have lots and lots of options to costumize ;-)

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 !
Sent from my GT-I5801 using XDA App
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.

You mean 15, right?
Let me clarify my question, if I replaced(removed) the stock launcher package with a paid launcher, will performance of the paid launcher improve?
Depends on the launcher. One with alot of features will probably be a bit slower, but more minimal ones designed for speed would be a bit faster.
There are free ones too that are just as fast. It's going to depend on your particular phones setup also, How many apps or widgets you have, stuff like that.
*insert sig here*
It depends...a feature-filled launcher like adw or launcher pro won't be as fast as zeam or another lightweight launcher

LauncherPro is blazingly fast for me. I have every animation/feature turned on except homescreen transitions.
Way faster than Zeam.
Give golauncher a go. I prefer it over launcher pro. Adw is another solid choice if you want a minimal build.

For me it has not slowed down at all. I'm using Adw ex and it works very quick. Just go into the settings and configure it to your liking. I run seven screens with many Widgets and I actually feel it faster than my stock launcher. Try go launcher ex. Great and free. Adw I suggest as well but its preference. Good luck.
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
Sent from my XT720 using XDA Premium App
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 want to know what the best launcher is in terms of uniqueness and not just speed. I want a launcher that is different from other launchers and has actually been well thought out. Thank you.
Personal favourite
I quite like Launcher Pro - lots of icon packs and easy to customise! Can be as simple or as complex as you want it to be. Only issue is that it hasn't been updated for a while
If you want custom themes without having to pay for Launcher Pro Plus, then try GoLauncher - not a personal favourite of mine but is again very customisable and does pack in a few unique features.
I used to use Zedge for pure speed, but it was a bit limited customisation-wise and I overclocked my phone, so I didn't need a really fast launcher any more
i tryed many launchers...but Launcher Pro is the best choice for me...so i stick with it a long time now
deff Launcher Pro You can do what ever you want
<Mod Edit> External link!
i like launcher pro & go launcher too
I use Launcher Pro too... even I uninstall/erase other launchers.

Yes. I had also tried it. not very good. Instead ended up using Go Launcher Ex with ICS theme.
I just got ADW Launcher EX the other day from the 10c app promotions per day google is doing and i'm loving it so far.. lots of new features compared to the free version
Might be a good idea for people to keep watch incase it goes up for 10c again.. few days left of apps
Try this 360 launcher. Link:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1345601 pretty smooth, not bad so far.
Sent from my GT-i5801 using XDA App
Yea 360 launcher is awesome. Just never have seen these app drawer animations in any other launcher. very nice and very smooth. And the themes are good looking too
Edit: I just noticed that there is a lockscreen setting in its preferences using which we can have a variety of lockscreens too. And there are lockscreens available for download within the app itself.
This is f**king awesome
Only 3 lockscreens are available. But all 3 are good especially The iPhone lock screen and ics lock screen are looking great
Nemus
I use Nemus Launcher. It's fast and does what I need
Hey guys, i'd like to know which launcher is the most fastest, smoothest and if not very battery-heavy.
launcher pro but if you like style use go launcher
but i am an stock lover

zeam launcher if u want lighweight and smooth, go launcher if u want feature pack and occasional lag
i usually use go launcher ex. its smoother and faster than ADW and Launcher Pro lags sometimes when opening app drawer :/.
ADW for me
Yes suggest to use LauncherPro, its smooth better... low memory peformances
i think launcher pro have no side to side scrolling option. it just lists apps in a single page.
Launcher 7
i'm using Launcher 7 on CM7 and like it so much, it is simple. and lightweight on Memory. i have removed the ADWLauncher.
Nemus Launcher is fast and lightweight. It uses about the same RAM/CPU as Zeam and has excellent folder organisation. I use Claystone on my HD2 but the Ace is slightly underpowered for it although it still works well.
Sent from a phone with an app.
Launcher Pro the best
Would I need to use something like titanium backup to remove the ADW launcher from Grifs CM7? If so would I need to install another one first?
