Hey,
Was just wondering what was the best launcher to use other than the stock TW Launcher? VTL.Launcher is REALLY laggy for me.
Haven't tried any other Launcher yet.
Let me know.
Adw ex...worth the $ to upgrade to pro version, also liked launcher pro until adw ex had its latest update

Is that a theme you're running, with the trays on the side? Like the looks of that weather widget, too! My ADWex setup looks pretty dang bland in comparison. :\
Sent from my GT-P7510 using Tapatalk
No theme, just a tabbed wallpaper using blank icons and screen shortcuts in adw. Made the wallpaper. Tapping on each "tab" takes you to its respective screen. The weather widget is HD Widgets.

ADWex is well worth the change, I've been using it on my eVo4g for over a year now. It was one of the first Apps I installed when I got my Tab. Super smooth and completely customizable.
With a little time you can get some kewl setups.

I strongly suggest using ADW Ex. Its the fastest speed-wise, and the most customizable.
I was using Launcher Pro but now am using Go Launcher EX. It has all LP had and more - more screens, resizable widgets, 3 docks with gesture launching, very configurable. And free.

Love Go Launcher on the tab, only issue is the app drawer icon labels are all compressed and hard to read so I just disable them. Other than that no issues. I love scrolling sidebar as the dock.
I still suggest that you all drop Launcher Pro and switch to ADW Launcher Ex. It runs faster and is more customizable.
Anything by the launcher pro guy should be dropped. He never has long term plans and abandons things for extended periods. Uber music has been stagnant as well as LP.

Im in need of a new launcher :/ i currently have launcher pro plus but doesnt look like its gunna get updated anytime soon. i have tried go launcher but it was meh. i have heard great things about ADW though. Opinions?
I have used all of those launchers, and I keep coming back to ADW. I think it runs the smoothest, has great theme options, and more customization options (IMHO).
I would definitely suggest try it out. The great thing is that you can download Homesmack, which is an app designed to help you toggle between launchers easily. That way, if you don't like ADW, you can easily switch back to another launcher.
EDIT: Also, this thread has A LOT of great info on launchers for you... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1428022
I have used a bunch of other launchers and I use both Launcher Pro Plus and ADW EX. LPP is my main launcher and ADW is used as my car dock in landscape mode. No other launchers really suit me. Even though LPP hasn't seen an update for a long time it's still the fastest and smoothest launcher to me.
Regina Launcher is not and got some nice options
Hi Launcher is amazing and is completely different from other launchers, instead of changing the homescreen, you can change part of it while keeping the other part as it is.
ICS Launcher by Team Syndicate is very good
I dig ADW Ex. I've been using it way before I even thought about rooting my phone, lol. It has vast customization options to tweak your phone how you want it. I can't go without it

I used launcher pro for quite a while, but after going without an update for months and months, I switched to go launcher. I liked go launcher, but there was a small delay whenever I clicked on the app drawer. Eventually I purchased and switched to ADW launcher. In my opinion, it is the best of the 3 I tried. So many themes available, and so much you can customize. Also runs the smoothest with a live wallpaper running.

I love go launcher ex. Came with a rom I flashed a while back and now I am addicted to the features.

I think launchers like launcher pro, ADW, Go Launcher, etc. are pretty much all the same. You get the multiple screens with widgets and an app drawer. I get bored with that stuff sometimes. I've enjoyed Go Launcher. But when I get bored with that, I switch to Launcher 7. Its really nice if you theme it right.
GO Launcher is kinda nice. I used it for awhile and really enjoyed all of the GO branded apps it allowed you to use. Im currently using ADW EX and I like it quite a bit. GO felt a little too gimmicky and unrefined in comparison to ADW EX. It wasnt as smooth. There would also be random times when GO somehow wouldnt work and I would be reverted to my old launcher.
If I were you I'd try the free version of ADW and GO then you could make a better pick.

what do you use to get your icons that big? I'm at 213 dpi and they look smaller than yours do at 192. Also your text looks bigger.

How did you get the asus weather widget to show Fahrenheit? And also how do I check to see if any apps are installed on my sdcard?
Edit: I look at the first two posts and the pics in it the status bars are different sizes. Sorry for all the questions, in addition to those first two questions, how are you guys customizing all those things? (status bar, icons, text, etc.)
Hmmm how do I make my apps look smaller?
I'm loving the ROM aside from the SD annoyance.

Im looking for the fastest launcher.
I already have ftl,zeam,tsf, SPB launcers.
For now the tsf is the fastest launcher but it takes a lot of ram that i need so the games will run smoothly.
zeam and ftl are fast but not enough when i exit from app with the home button it takes time to this launchers to load the widgets and the menu.
So i will be glad if u will recommend me launcher that is fast as tsf launcher but takes much less ram.

Go with holo. It's lightweight on RAM
I believe Holo Launcher and Launcher Pro are the fastest performance wise. However, it's hard to find themes for them for some reason. I know Holo Launcher is pretty much the newest of the bunch. But Launcher Pro has been out for a while.
Try Adw laucher,GO launcher or Android 7 launcher.

I am sure someone will disagree with me but, in my opinion, Nova, Apex and ADW are the top three.
Personally, I am using Apex.
A better idea would be to install Home Manager and several launchers. Home Manager will let you switch among them anytime soon you can keep them all at the same time.

You can create folders on each page to hold more apps. Just drag one icon on top of another, and the launcher will create a new folder and ask you to name it. That way you can have all your apps on your launcher desktop, organized in folders.

You can get Nova for free minus some of the bells and whistles which is really resource light and is basic Nexus 7 design.

Launcher and Locker
I have used many launchers in the past including Launcher 8 and Smart Launcher. However I prefer Apex Launcher over the latter because of the simplicity of the applications UI and the ability to customize down to the size of icons. I am currently running Apex Launcher and it doesn't seem to drain battery more than other launchers I have tested. Here are some of my home screens.
I went for a minimalistic look and used the option to disable the notification bar and dock. The notification bar can be accessed by a fast swipe down and the app drawer (also customizable) can be accessed by a fast swipe up. I used ZooperWidget for many of my widgets and SMPL White icons for ditching the colored app icons.
As for the locker I installed Holo Locker which gives a very clean look to the phone.
The paid version can be customized to show SMS and call notifications and I believe you need it to change to shortcuts as well.
All these apps can be found on the Play Store SMPL White icons and Holo Locker being the only paid ones. Using these two together gives the device a very sleek look. I would recommend them to anyone who is looking to improve upon stock UI without rooting!
I prefer Holo Launcher HD, Nova and Apex are too... Feature filled for me. Also I find that Holo HD uses less RAM and is smoother with less redraws on my P769
If you want somerhing a bit different, you can have a look at Atom launcher, it's one of my favourites

This Droid world is filled with many choices, so many that i feel spoiled.
Sony Xperia Z, MiHome, MiSpace, SoHo, Nova, Apex, Holo... these are the launchers I have used, and most of the times return to Xperia Z's home launcher, I wont tell you to go and install it, but I would rather tell you to "Explore to find out what suits your taste most!"
Happy Exploring!!
Xperia Z launcher has many features.....i prefer nova....saves battery.

Right now using Huawei Emotion Launcher, kind of modified MiHome launcher and feels slick and fluid, and the weather live wallpaper with auto wedgie sync is pretty sick!!

I am enjoying Nova myself but how do you download the Xperia Z launcher?
