Notes
1)"My script is setup to wipe everything so make a backup of anything on internal sd you dont want to lose
2)I am not responsible for any loss or damage to your phone if you flash this rom
3)the kernel im using does not work well with the animations in sense 4 tmartin says chad is working on another fix for this so it won be long hopefully... so until then when you first boot you need to go straight to settings and turn off animations or the screen will freeze constantly....
4)if you are s off all you will have to do is wipe and install the rom... if your s on from htc-dev you will need to flash the boot.img after the rom... ill post it with the rom for those who need it
5)this build was kinda rushed and by no means my best work but its a start i wanted you guys to be able to enjoy it alittle while we work on fixes and such, so post bugs here and preferably in my bug thread on the mikmik so i dont have to read a million pages to see one bug
6)directions for flashing boot in fastboot for those who need them
**Installation instructions for rom**
-download rom
-copy to sd
-reboot to recovery
-wipe data, system, and dalvik
-Flash rom
**Installation of boot.img**
-download boot.img

Woohoo... Newt just join the party!
I've put this thread here to give you guys a variety of launchers found on the market. I, like many of you, get bored using the stock launcher or it hasn't got the ability to customize it the way we'd like, so we'd like more a choice. So rather than having to find them all over the place I will keep everything here in one place.
If you notice any information in this guide which is incorrect, or any bad links, let me know and I'll fix it as soon as possible. Also, I know that there are a load that aren't on this list, so if there are some which aren't on the list but you think they should be, let me know and I'll look into them and update the list.

Lightning Launcher - 1.5+
Description and features
Lose the fat, keep the muscle. Be warned, Lightning Launcher is on steroïds.
Lightning Launcher: Lose the fat, keep the muscle. Be warned, this launcher is on steroïds.
Tips, please read this first:
Use "LLW App Widget" if you want to add Android widgets.
This app is started through the HOME key and not from your app drawer since LL is itself a launcher. If you cannot select it through the HOME key then you need to clear the defaults for your current launcher.
for any question or suggestion, do not hesitate to ask: [email protected]
This application has been designed to minimize memory usage and be fast: the more memory you have for your applications, the faster they will run. In other words Lightning Launcher has been built from the ground to preserve your phone's resources and keep it smooth.
In spite of its ridiculously small size (less than 60kb!), Lightning Launcher is packed with a fair amount of features and brings to Android a very unique concept: the home screen can be seen as a giant surface on which you are free to put icons, shortcuts or widgets exactly where YOU WANT, and not limited to a 4x4 grid. Pinch to zoom in or out the desktop, use the home key to switch between a full scale view or the normal size, or double tap on empty space as in the web browser to immediately see all your icons. And everything stay functional whatever the zoom level is: widgets are alive, icons can be clicked, and so on.
Lightning Launcher drops rarely used features and focuses on useful ones but comes nevertheless with numerous customization options. Icons and widgets can be moved, scaled and even rotated freely. Each object can be configured independently, you can change the font, the label, the icon and much more !
The package is extremely small, only a few kilobytes. What it means is that the Android system do not need to load several megabytes to run this app. Lightning Launcher starts faster and run in perfect harmony with your other apps.
For people kindly asking why the CALL_PHONE permission is needed (notice that this the only one needed by LL!): this is needed for direct call shortcuts, and this permission is included in all major launchers, including Go and Pro.
For other people not asking why and putting stupid one star comments: go away, you have just lost a unique chance to try something new and better, have a good day.

FTL Launcher Pro - 2.3+
Description and features
Make no mistake, this is the fastest launcher you'll ever run. Small, light, configurable. The Gingerbread launcher as it should have been. No useless stuff, no compromises. Performance and usability are the driving forces here.
On version 3.0 Pro users have a all new game to play now: The Pro version can use existing ADW, GoLauncher and LauncherPro Icon and Dock themes, giving FTL and unprecedented array of possible theming. You can even mix Dock and Icon themes from different launchers. Google Play is yours for the take.
And of course you still have the other extras: configurable homsecreen grid from 4x4 to 6x6, resizeable widgets, and, never seen in any launcher: control over core Android window animation speed.
Important: FTL supports all resolutions and ICS, but only 800x480, 854x480, 960x540 and 480x320 devices have 3D drawer enabled! But as it is natively accelerated anyway, 2D drawer should be very fast.

Tweaked for extreme speed and smoothness
Fully accelerated 3D Waterfall app drawer
Option to use "normal" 2D app drawer

Choice between 3 and 5 icon Dock

Cheers man. Yeah I did notice the other suggestions, but I'll leave them for now and see what the people in this one suggest, it keeps everyone more involved that way
And even though I've got reserve spaces, I'll need those for the other launchers, but I've asked one of the mods if he can add a few spaces in right after the OP, so at least that way it's all one after the other, rather than all over the place. I'm just awaiting a reply to see if he can do it :fingerscrossed:

Zeam Launcher
Description
To add Applications grid shortcut, select Add > Shortcuts > Applications grid.

Lightning Launcher
Description and features
Lose the fat, keep the muscle. Be warned, Lightning Launcher is on steroïds.
Lightning Launcher: Lose the fat, keep the muscle. Be warned, this launcher is on steroïds.
Tips, please read this first:
Use "LLW App Widget" if you want to add Android widgets.
This app is started through the HOME key and not from your app drawer since LL is itself a launcher. If you cannot select it through the HOME key then you need to clear the defaults for your current launcher.
for any question or suggestion, do not hesitate to ask: [email protected]
This application has been designed to minimize memory usage and be fast: the more memory you have for your applications, the faster they will run. In other words Lightning Launcher has been built from the ground to preserve your phone's resources and keep it smooth.
In spite of its ridiculously small size (less than 60kb!), Lightning Launcher is packed with a fair amount of features and brings to Android a very unique concept: the home screen can be seen as a giant surface on which you are free to put icons, shortcuts or widgets exactly where YOU WANT, and not limited to a 4x4 grid. Pinch to zoom in or out the desktop, use the home key to switch between a full scale view or the normal size, or double tap on empty space as in the web browser to immediately see all your icons. And everything stay functional whatever the zoom level is: widgets are alive, icons can be clicked, and so on.
Lightning Launcher drops rarely used features and focuses on useful ones but comes nevertheless with numerous customization options. Icons and widgets can be moved, scaled and even rotated freely. Each object can be configured independently, you can change the font, the label, the icon and much more !
The package is extremely small, only a few kilobytes. What it means is that the Android system do not need to load several megabytes to run this app. Lightning Launcher starts faster and run in perfect harmony with your other apps.
For people kindly asking why the CALL_PHONE permission is needed (notice that this the only one needed by LL!): this is needed for direct call shortcuts, and this permission is included in all major launchers, including Go and Pro.
For other people not asking why and putting stupid one star comments: go away, you have just lost a unique chance to try something new and better, have a good day.

FTL Launcher Pro
Description and features
Make no mistake, this is the fastest launcher you'll ever run. Small, light, configurable. The Gingerbread launcher as it should have been. No useless stuff, no compromises. Performance and usability are the driving forces here.
On version 3.0 Pro users have a all new game to play now: The Pro version can use existing ADW, GoLauncher and LauncherPro Icon and Dock themes, giving FTL and unprecedented array of possible theming. You can even mix Dock and Icon themes from different launchers. Google Play is yours for the take.
And of course you still have the other extras: configurable homsecreen grid from 4x4 to 6x6, resizeable widgets, and, never seen in any launcher: control over core Android window animation speed.
Important: FTL supports all resolutions and ICS, but only 800x480, 854x480, 960x540 and 480x320 devices have 3D drawer enabled! Also ICS has no 3D drawer because it does not contain the "old" opengl interface. But as it is natively accelerated anyway, 2D drawer should be very fast.
Features:
Theming support: The Pro version can use existing ADW, GoLauncher and LauncherPro Icon and Dock themes, giving FTL and unprecedented array of possible theming.
Tweaked for extreme speed and smoothness
Fully accelerated 3D Waterfall app drawer
Option to use "normal" 2D app drawer
Configurable support for resizeable widgets: only when adding them to the homescreen, you cannot edit them later.
Configurable Homescreen grid: From 4 to 6 rows, and 4 to 6 columns
Configurable number of homescreens: from 1 to 9 with configurable default homescreen
Choice between 3 and 5 icon Dock
Configurable Dock icons size
Configurable "swipe down" and "swipe down" independently to any of the following:
Includes anim speed: precise control over core Android windows/transition animation speed
Configurable Support for launcher auto-rotation
Configurable Infinite looping of homescreens
Configurable support for scrollable widgets
Configurable bounce effect on homescreen transitions
Configurable wallpaper scrolling
Configurable transition speed of homescreens

Chameleon is a revolutionary tablet-specific launcher that lets you create multiple home screens, each with your own layout of widgets and apps. The Chameleon system includes an innovative context based home screen system giving you the most relevant information that you want, when you want it.
The Next Generation of Widgets.
Android widgets are not all created equally - and that's the problem - so we decided to raise the bar. The result is widgets that look beautiful together and are as easy to layout as drawing on a screen. Take a look at some of our other widgets or build your own with our custom API.
-Calendar (Coming Soon!)
-Clock
-Facebook
-Google+(Coming Soon!)
-Instagram
-Media Player (Coming soon!)
-RSS News Reader
-Switches
-Twitter
-YouTube
Home Screens that Change With You
Your information needs may change throughout your day, so Chameleon includes an innovative context system. You can create context rules based on GPS locations, WiFi networks and time ranges, allowing you to define which Home Screen is the most relevant for any situation.
App Tray & Launcher
Chameleon doesn't just let you customize your Home Screens with the widgets you want. It also lets you customize your own mini App Tray. Giving you the apps you want up front, without having to swim through a large grid of apps.
Super Easy To Customize
Quickly set up Home Screens, Widgets, App Trays, and Wallpapers all with a few gestures.
EDIT: If you are using Paranoid Android rom you can purchase this launcher and using it on your phone. Any other roms it will not work. You can try AOKP rom which gives you the tablet mode feature but have not tried to see if it works

Hi Guys,
Here are a few more screenshots of Android Launchers for anyone curious or interested.
The page has been around for quite a while, but it gets added to now and then.
I'll be getting my Note 2 in November. I can't wait! :good:
Hi Goku,
I had installed Mi Locker and had used for 2 days, Issues found were
1) Zipper does not work on my Note2, I mean the background is not getting set.
2) Inspite of installing this locker, randomly stock locker also crops ups making me to go with an extra step.
3) Pressing home key makes the locker ineffective and opens the lock.
Are there any specific settings that have to be done, if yes then can you pls share them. I am using Apex launcher.
Rgds,
Shammi

Which is the most stable lockscreen in the list? I just want a simple lockscreen that will work with Poweramp and stuff. I seriously hate it when Samsung modifies the stock lockscreen.

Some themes have shortcuts that jumps to specific desktop pages, giving the illusion that there is only a single home screen.
The swiping gesture that changes the page breaks that flow with the transition animation.
It would be nice to be able either to disable the scrolling gesture or to be able disable page transition animations.
i want to know too

Hi,
We would love it too! The only problem is that it's a very complex feature to implement, therefore it will take some time for us to work on it. Hopefully next year we will have more resources to add in features such as this Sorry about that!

Hi,
I found this post, because it is exactly what bugs me in this launcher and it was frankly the only reason I stoped using it. I just installed it to see if this was resolved, but still not If only the transition effecet coould be disabled that would help a lot
