I love CM7. I run it on my Droid Incredible and I wouldn't want to run any other ROM, but since I have the paid versions of both ADW and Launcher Pro I don't have any need for the free version of ADW that comes packed with CM7. I found a mod that replaces ADW with the default Gingerbread launcher, and I've found that I prefer the stock launcher over any of the replacements I've tried. It's fast, minimal, and it just works. My only problem is that launcher2 only has five home screens, and I want seven. A Google search brought me to a version of the stock launcher with seven home screens, and I was able to install it on the latest CM7 nightly, but whenever I pressed the phone icon I got an error message telling me that "this application is not installed on your phone". I tried the launcher on both OMGB and OMFGB with the same results. Is there a version of the stock Gingerbread launcher out there that I can use on CM7 that has seven home screens and a working phone shortcut?
Holo Launcher maybe?

That is ADW EX launcher and works fine on any 2.1 or higher build for Streak.

try adw, launcher pro, go launcher, and get home switcher for froyo so you can switch back and forth! Hope that helps some
I personally have been using Launcher Pro Plus on my Nexus and the Streak for a long time. I actually really like the Sense widgets, I know a lot of people don't like Sense. I love the customizations available in the alternative launchers. I'm sure you will find one that suits your needs.

Ok i was using ADW which seemed quite nice....then i just gave Launcher Pro a go a few minutes ago, immediately paid for plus and now sticking with it.
I'm running 1.9.1 and with Launcher Pro the general interface is lightning quick and has all the widgets i've been hunting for built in and more stable than the alternatives i'd been putting up with
I'm still using Zeam, and still love it!
I was using launcher Pro for a very long time, but then I tried out go launcher and I much prefer go launcher.
I tried launcher 7 its ok but just not for me
+1 for Zeam launcher, still the best.
Switched to GO Launcher
I too was using ADW Launcher EX but it was hanging up no matter what I did, even after fresh flashes so I decided to try GO Launcher and I really like it so far...
One of the things I like the most is the three App Drawer Modes.
Although I wish it did have the set of customization that ADW offers, that would be the only reason I would go back to ADW is the amount of personalization it offers.
Heard a lot about ZEAM but haven't tried yet, may have to give it a whirl

Same here. Read that it was a small and speedy launcher so I installed that when I went 1.9.0. No complaints.
I've tried a whole bunch. Right now I'm using the latest Go Launcher EX (2.21)
Ones I've used:
Regina
SPB Shell 3D
Launcher Pro Plus
ADW EX
Dell Stage
Claystone
Launcher 7
VTL.Launcher
Zeam
It's all down to personal preference. Big and flashy? Go with SPB. One you can make do anything, basically? ADW, Go, LPP are all good choices. VTL is just a port of Launcher Pro (I think?) but it functions well if you use the phone in landscape mode. Just try the free versions to see if you like it, the paid versions usually only have a couple more tricks up their sleeves.
I use VTL.Laucnher because it optimize for landscape mode. I have SPB3D too,use it only when I play with portrait mode.
I have been using the vtl for a while a I like it a lot
I'm using adw ex paid or whatever and it works perfect for me. I find that the speed correlates to how heavy your widgets are (obviously). I might try go launcher as I've heard good things about it. Launcher Pro Plus is quite nice as well. Their facebook widget is the only thing I wish I could have taken with me to adw.
Question: When you or anyone used SPB Mobile Shell 3D, did it work well in landscape? what were your pros & cons? I'm currently using Go Launcher and love it. Just curious..

I just loaded up Go yesterday and immediately liked it enough to uninstall Stage.
I also use something called Smart Taskbar.
I am using VTL and enjoy all the docks, left, right and bottom, actually the bottom is enough for me as it has a lot of space in lanscape mode. This launcher is made for lanscape mode.
It is a take off drom ADW.

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.
does anyone have an idea how to replace the ADWLauncher with the new one thats really awesome the spd 3d one everytime i try to load it manually and set it as default the stock adwl overwrites it and pops back up few minutes later, i even removed the ADWLauncher with root uninstall and then i had no access to settings on the phone and later on wouldnt start so i had to reflash it, if anyone could help would be nice
hrm
all i need to know is how to replace the ADWLauncher on Cyanogen 7mod on the Defy, with something else without damaging the settings and phone...
Delete adw from system/app with root explorer or freeze it with titanium backup

The truth that this is secondary, for now. All you need now is to cyanogen for all functions at 100%. I do not ask more than that, if sis isis
All I did was just install Launcher Pro Plus and it replaced ADW. Everything works smoothly now.

launcherpro is way better than ADW..
if launcherpro have grouping feature just like LG launcher,
and have change-icon feature.
it would be the best ever.
Currently in use Launcher Pro
I'm using Launcher 7 with cm7 without any problems
greetings
I'm using launcher pro since my old galaxy lite with 1.6.
Just flashed to 2.3.3 and I was hoping to use the default google home.
Does anyone knows why it's not included in CM?

CM has used ADW Launcher for ages now. It was back in CM5 (IIRC) and the general consensus from the users was that they preferred ADW over stock, and thus ADW became default.
Personally, I like ADW.
Launcher Pro the free one is better than ADW, but ADW launcher EX is better than Launcher. Personally , I like ADW more than Launcher Pro.
I use launcher pro since 2.1 stock rom and with CM7, it is just perfect for me, smooth, very easy to custom
I'm using Launcher Pro since ever.
It's the best Launcher available and it really runs smooth
How do you add a different launcher to Beastmod 1.3.1? Was looking around and couldn't find it...
I noticed people were talking about prolauncher and golauncher. Which one runs better ?
Thanks
You go to the Android Market and download one. I've never heard of either of those launchers though. Go with ADW or LauncherPro. I prefer ADW.
Thanks. I'm trying one out but sometime ill hit the back button and it goes to the original launcher screen. is there a way to fix this?
You know that to switch launchers you press the home button, it should bring up a menu with launchers that you installed.
If not download home switcher from the market (its free) and you can set home defaults by pressing home
I use Launcher Pro and love it. I cant remember why I liked it better than ADW or GO, but there was something so that's what I use. It works with BeastMOD no problems, but if you try to use it on stock with sense, the phone becomes nearly unusable because of lag.
Just like everyone has already posted, download your choice of launcher from the market, install, make default, and enjoy. Some launchers do not play nice with a sense framework--even though it is aosp-like, there is still residual code that can make some of the less intricate launchers have issues. Stick with the more 'known' launchers (launcher pro, et Al.).
I just want to know what you guys think the best launcher available on the android operating system is. I am currently using the launcher pro plus that came per-installed on my cyanogen mod ROM. do you know any other launchers that aer good.

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.
