Hi guys,
I'm just waiting 2 receive my new mini and I don't have much experience yet with it since I have been using HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 so far.
Could you share your experience with various launchers, i.e. which one do you prefer and why?
I would need something simple with most important widgets like contacts, browser, weather etc.
Cheers

ADW is best.... Have many options and costomization
Helix is also good
Helix is very Stable and good
I have had many Force Stops with ADW
I use Helix. Simple and fast (And they say it increases your battery life).
BTW, Anyone knew how to make the app drawer transparent? The black background? I still want to see my wallpaper when I'm opening the app drawer (my wallpaper is Droid eating apple)
i tried EVERY launcher out there...the conclusion: ADW is the best for me;
astonishing customization, very good speed, stability and battery consumption and the only one so far with the ability to turn every application or widget in a useful icon; for example you can put a "smart search" icon on your bottom dock bar...indispensable for me.
maybe not to many themes for now though
Try Zeam 1.5.1 (for Donut).
It's simple, fast, efficient and just does the job
ADW Launcher and Helix!
@pulpoff, can you please pm me that version I cant find it anywhere, thanks
ADW! let your creativity takes you!
Get my apps folder from black theme thread, its included in it.

pulpoff,can we change zeam bottom dock manually like launcher pro does? And does zeam has icon stretch like on ADW?

I use Zeam too -> Infopage: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=664149
Download: slideme.org/application/zeam
But the infopage above says that it is only available for android 2.1 and there has been no update yet. Right?
I liked ahome 4 beta. but it got expired
Is it necessary to delete the default launcher after you installed a custom one, and if yes, how is it performed?
thanx
There is no need to remove it.
Simply restart your phone and a pop-up will appear to choose the launcher you want.

Yes tried both GDE and ADW , Zeam is still the best.

Agreed. I think the right one is "Themes and Apps"
I use 'launcher pro'.
Launcher pro ftw smooth and nice

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

And I have tried ALL OF THEM!

Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
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.
Im a fan of go launcher ex but now I Luke the stock launcher in alien rom

I find all are laggy at least on some occasions, which is slightly disappointing considering the hardware.

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.
Hi, can I create folders? I am using Android 2.1., and I long press on the home screen but see no option to create folders!
Are you running SE Android 2.1 home launcher? If so, you can't make folders on the homescreen. You can run other launchers: Zeam, Arc Launcher, Launcher Pro, ADW Launcher (are a few that come to mind) to get that feature.

Most you can download from the market, there are free versions of all those. Arc launcher can be found via the mini pro themes and apps thread. Or search ''arc launcher'', should find it.
There is also a thread about the ''best launcher'' as well, but of course the best launcher for you is the one you find works the best for you.

Anyone know of a "minimalist" type launcher?
Nova Launcher is the best right now, but it's for ICS.
If you're still on GB, then use ADW EX.

Im currently using Nemus Launcher and i love it. Prettt smooth and the graphics are nice. Its kind of new, but it have all the features that you are going to need. It gets updated regulary, so the devs are still working with it.

You have to open the app drawer then hit then hit the menu button on your device then edit, now you should be able to drag/drop apps from the drawer onto the dock
Sent from my MB860 using XDA
Nope, just "Add page" / "Add folder"
In app drawer select edit from menu and drag the icon u want place on the dock in the dock area or change the number of dock icon from preferences/dock settiings.
Tw launcher is the smoothest for me, but it doesn't have landscape mode and hasn't been uptdated since ages ago so i switched to nemus... it would be great to have the best of both!

If it doesn't let you drag/drop then go into TWlauncher settings and go into Dock and change the icon count to 4, by default its on 1 I think, then restart & save and it should work

You could put all your apps on the homescreen and hide the dock? Lol

Just use Apex or ADW (New version kicks ass)..
Hide the docks, use multiple screens and have it place an icon on the desktop for new applications.
Be like iOS but with widgets.. Ain't seen anything with no app drawer really.. Those Windows launchers maybe?

Dude, seriously, if you don't want to move your finger a few times at initial setup and keep replying "I want this ONLY", do it yourself.
You've been offered a bunch of alternatives that will behave just the way you want, except that they'll need 5 minutes of your time to set up.
Lightening Launcher
Taken a look at Lightening Launcher?
Buy an iPhone?
Is there a launcher that looks like this?
