What is the best launcher in your opinion ?
I'm not looking for something too fancy, just a good launcher with smooth transitions between homescreens and app drawer..
I'v tried alot of them including :
Hi launcher
ADW ex + free
Go launcher ex
Launcher pro - currently using.
Nemus
Zeem
QQ
and some more...
And another Q's...Is there a GOOD touchwiz launcher that really simulates TW UI ?
Edit : Or the Xperia launcher
Thanks !
I'v tried those:
ADW ex
ADW free
Go launcher ex
Launcher pro
Zeem

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

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

when my phone was in CM7 i used ADW launcher it was great
in CM9 i use nova launcher
I have been using Go Launcher lately. I really like the app drawer layout!
Just curious if there is a launcher like Apex that's compatible with GB Roms. Thanks.

If you mean the ics look no... but if you mean the customization then try go launcher theirs ics icons and its extremely customizable..

Go launcher is highly recommended. Adw is good...if you like how MIUI is set up, try SS launcher..

I did remember there was a ICS like launcher for GB called "ICS launcher" or something.
But to be honest that one s*cked.
If you are looking for a launcher replacement, go launcher worked pretty well for me when I was on GB.
I always just used a Ice Cream Sandwich theme that works with ADW and Go also I think some other lunchers too.

When I was using GB I was using GO launcher it works really well and allows you to do a lot of customizing.
Adw = apex
They have same menus and configs other than the ics features. My apex setup is exactly the same as adw when I was on gb.

Took the words right out of my mouth. I would highly recommend holo launcher. It's the only ics launcher that truly simulates the ics experience perfectly (or as perfectly as you can on gingerbread). The biggie for me was the stackable shortcuts feature. This is the only one I tried that truly got it right. Spot on. And it's super smooth too.

Could not agree more! Best that I have found. ADW is also really good... just really hard to customize. Especially with custom Icons. Here's a screen shot of Holo Launcher.
I think you should go for ADW Launcher buddy...
I use holo launcher before but ADW is so good... :good: just like some user said above its like Apex launcher
here is my GALAXY Ace Plus with ADW launcher

I so confused which launcher i choose so i want know ur best launcher you prefer !!!!!!
I use ADW EX for customisations, 360 if I want something that looks nice but also uses less battery, and if I just want to use my phone I use MIUI'S home launcher - Launcher/MIUIHome

GO Launcher EX is the best one if performance doesn't count. Otherwise, the same as okmijnlp said.

I was using the stock Android 2.2 launcher but then decided I would modify it to imitate the one found in Android 4.0. So that is what I am running.
My phone barely has any RAM so I hate using third party launchers, even with the force-into-memory tweak.
ADW Launcher EX, with Sense HD Theme

I agree with this guy, Go Launcher is pretty amazing and you can custom pretty much everything with the app.
Still rockin' the LauncherProPlus after 2 years. Never regret the purchase, still the fastest launcher i've seen.
i'm using the stock launcher that comes with ics 4.0.3, running smooth and stable
Go Launcher is the best
Launcher
Active launcher, and i love ss launcher try that..
Did U tried nova launcher?

Moving to Q&A
Launcher Pro Plus - very fast and stable
on 2.3.6 i used launcherpro! It was pretty fast, however, the only problem was the folders weren't customizable and would freeze every once in a while.
I have used Go Launcher and Holo Launcher, however I know there are a ton of different launchers out there. Just wanted to see what other user's views were! If you could add what you specifically like about your launcher! Thanks

You can use nova,apex,adw,go launcher,Sony experia launcher or wait for chameleon laucher. I use (private beta) chameleon launcher on my tablet and it is fantastic. You can try also holo launcher HD.

Thanks, I thought about using adw or launcher pro but decided to go with apex. So far I love it! I can even still use the cobalt theme that I was using on the stock jb theme. I may have to check out chameleon launcher as I have not heard anything about it. Thanks!

What is the best launcher for jelly bean???
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda app-developers app
It depends on your own taste. Try typing launcher in Play Store.
I personally prefer HoloLauncher.
Wow, if you ask five people you might get five different answers. As eksasol said, it depends on what you like and what you want from your launcher. I've used holo HD, apex, TW, ADW, and of course trebuchet. I just started using holo, its real nice. Apex is a good launcher as well. My suggestion is test them and decide which works for you.
Paranoid, sitting in a deep sweat...
Yes its depend on your Taste personally i use trebuchet or Apex
Trebuchet on my S3 and Apex on my girlfriend's S2.
Nova with Nova Prime is my fav. It's the only one I use

Hi I've read on other threads that there is a new "Android JellyBean Launcher" but unfortunately I cannot find it. Do they mean the out of the box launcher?? If so I do not see what is the purpose...
Anyway if anyone has the answer
I found Xperia Home so fast, stable and it really looks great with some simple but amazing functions..
Nova launcher is the only one i use

Try Buzz launcher.
ADW

I am trying smart launcher now... give it a try.. u might like it.... light n simple interface ..
I'm using Holo HD right now, and I can say that its fast and much more customisable than Apex or Nova...... Trebuchet is too heavy on my ROM, takes up about 13 mb of precious space...

Apex for me was lighter than holo... is this a new release?? because 13mb is really a very small ram consumption (compared to trebuchet / shendu laucher etc etc)

I wasn't taliking abt ROm... I'm no fan of apps 2 SD, so I prefer internal memory. there trebuchet takes up 13 mb... Holo HD takes just 1 mb.
love xperia laucher.... for simple, small, minimalist launcher, try Zeam.

Try Action launcher. Covers are an amazing idea and a great way to have all your favorite widgets easily accessible with out clutter and taking up lots of space on your home screen.
