I know you can do this easily with ADW launcher, but not sure about any other..

Yup, get a 3rd party launcher like ADW EX, Launcher Pro, etc.
I use ADW EX and have found it suits me best out of all the launchers currently on offer.
or just use desktop visualizer

LauncherPro is the best the free version is available on the market. (And I won't post the pro version)

Sorry to hijack the thread. But WHY is launcherpro the best? I've used ADW and in my opinion its much better looking and much more functional. But anyway for that being said. ADW EX ftw

LauncherPro runs smoothly the moment you install it. ADW has to be optimized, and tweaked with to get it run barely like LauncherPro.
That's my reason too, i used both adw and lp and my opinion is that lp is better (faster)
Sent from my MB525 using xda premium
I've tried both LauncherPro and ADW and I have to vote for ADW over LauncherPro. Maybe the paid version is better.
What do you mean regarding optimize ADW also? How would this be done?
Go Launcher Ex
ADW Launcher and Zeam Launcher alternatively
For me ADW Launcher is the best because you can customize nearly every part of it
Launcher 7(wp 7 look alike) its free, check in market .

I've been pretty disappointed with the majority of the launchers I've downloaded. Not that they are bad, just not the experience that I'm looking for. They all end up looking the same to me. I like to make my phone unique, the reason I really like android, and most launchers have the same format.
I'm currently using Launcher7 because it's different that all the other android launchers I've seen. Granted, it just looks like WP7 but it's at least different than virtually every other android phone out there. I'm rather fond of the vertical scrolling and the tile aspect of the launcher. I can create my own tile icons, again it that customization, and I can scroll through all the tiles I want on one screen rather than flipping home screen to home screen. It also minimizes how often I need to go to the "app drawer" because all of my most used apps are on one "home screen". Just my opinion. Maybe, at some point, I create my own unique launcher. For now I really appreciate all of the hard work everyone has put into the launchers available.
Peace,
Ray
launcherpro is by far my favorite.
Launcher pro plus
Go launcher
Vtl launcher is the best bc you can edit everything and works with adw themes.

I've settled on adw but i just found dxhome on the market. The weather widget that comes with it only shows cities in china but i think the app as a whole has potential.
Whats every ones favorite home app?
Nova Launcher
Apex

+1 for Apex
Been using Apex
happy rocking Trebuchet now that I found a version that has an accessible settings menu.
Nova Launcher here.
Was an avid apex user, now I'm using SSlauncher. Its got a very cool and different setup. No dock, or nothing. You can make your labels. Very nice
I have been using Nova. It's quite nice having the ability to sort the applications in the app drawer. That was the feature that pushed me towards Nova otherwise I would have probably gave Apex a shot.
Go launcher is my favorite so many themes and widgets... and very very customizable. Check it out before you make your final decision.
Adw ex. Old school.

I use Nova too...and there's a setting in there somewhere to do this...can't remember where now, but it's in there. I don't have my phone by my side, can't check right now.
But yea, Nova > Apex >>>>>>> Go Launcher

Thanks

Go launcher ex best..

Apex Launcher/Launcher7/Nemus Launcher
My personal choices are Apex and Holo launcher. Both are very fast, and use little resources. But if you need more customization options, you should go with Go Launcher, it seems to be the first choice for most of the people...

Hi there!
Some good reading in this article may cast some light on your question!
If you are running gingerbread, Go Launcher EX is the way to go. If you are running ICS it's Apex or Nova.
But check out the link for yourself!
Don't forget to hit the thanks button if I helped in any way!

I found ambient time home, it's pretty nice, you should try it. And it does not require a lot of memory

Go launcher ex is the one I would recommend. Very good developer..
Sent from my LT15i using xda app-developers app
i recomment NOVA LAUNCHER its very fast and u can put widgets over other widgets
Go Launcher
For me: Go Launcher EX !!!
..because you can sort your apps in folders directly in the app drawer. Simply more overview and quick access in drawer
I think Apex is best for ICS.
And second is GO Launcher. Go Launcher is customizable than other launchers. It has many themes and special widgets.
Look at this AIO package to customize GO Launcher:

Tsf shell is the best but it's a paid app.

If you want speed choose launcher pro.

I'm using TouchWiz the launcher of Galaxy S3 it's faster than the native of xperia arc/arc s and more beautiful, another one good is Nova Launcher.

sslauncher ... far far better than everything else. unfortunetly people dont know it/it has too much options to be easily customised...
Depends on the purpose. I use the stock launcher so that I can use SE widgets. For light weight launcher, LauncherPro (GB) or Apex (ICS) is the best. And for lots of themes and show off, Go Launcher and TSF. Now you decide!
Sent from my LT15i using xda app-developers app
Use espier launcher for ios look. I used for a few days n thought it was good. If you like ios more I suggest this to you. I reverted back to stock launcher as I like android (personal view)

Nova launcher is the best.. Apex is also good but not as smooth as Nova.. Try for yourself
I thought it was a new feature that would allow TW to do this, but I've only been able to resize 1 native widgets out of 4, and no joy on any 3rd party widgets. So do I really have to run a 3rd party launcher to have this ability?
I can't think of any way of getting around that then running a third party launcher sorry, some good launchers are apex, adw and go launcher

Just get apex launcher pro. You will be very happy you did.
