[Q] Which luncher do you use? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Yesterday I went from TW to Go Luncher it is prety awsome but I don't like that things that then you hit contacts from the dock and thenn want to go back (with key). first of all you go to phone and then I have to press back again in oder to return to home screen. And other thing is app drawer, then I open an app and hit back to close it I go to home screen not back to drawer. i feel inconvienent . Tell your experience with lunchers on yours S2
Thanks

I don't understand what you mean by pressing contacts in the dock and going back using a key.
There is no launcher that keeps open the drawer when selecting an app. I use MIUI, it has no drawer, apps are installed to the home-screen. So actually this takes away the 'inconvenience' you say you have.
Sidenote: Miui is not a launcher. It's a rom.

At home screen, at the buttom there are 5 icons and one is for contacts. Then I click on it it opens contacts list and then I want to exit I press back key (that light sensor) and it sends me not to home screen but to phone app (dial pad). On TW where was such thing.
I know that there aren't. But image that I open file explorer from drawer I use it, and then want to exit on TW I pressed back key and I would get back to drawer because I opened the program from it. But with GO luncher then I hit back I go to home screen. Maybe I miss something.
Sorry my english isn't very good

same thing happened with me when i tried go launcher. I use launcher pro now and never had any issues with it. Only thing is their aren't as many themes/icon packs for it as there are go launcher which is a shame

It is weird. Maybe someone knows how to repair it?

Using Go for a while now, love it have to say. Just remove that Stock Contact icon and replace with the system Contact icon, simple. The default dock icons of Go aren't pretty, black and white, ehh. I always replace all of them.
About other launchers, LP, Zeam and etc, they all are ****. What type of launcher is one in which you can't select a 480x800 wallpaper.
Nemus launcher is another good option, but it is still very basic.
And there is already a thread regarding launchers in Theme and App section.

Can you explain how to remove that Stock Contact icon and replace with the system Contact icon. I quite new here

Press and hold the stock contact icon, you will get options like Delete, Replace, Gesture. Click Delete. You will see a + icon, add Application, then select Contacts.
DONE.

Go Launcher for its widgets, was a launcher pro plus user but now prefer Go as they are constantly updating lpp seems to have gone to sleep.

Just change all the the default dock icons in the same way as Contacts. Then you'll have a dock like me
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

Done but in the future I think I will look for icon pack because the default was so cute .
So there left one problem. And it is with drawer and apps which I mention previously maybe someone have solution for it?
And in oder not to creat a new thread, I would like an app which shows what apps are running (something like the task maneger widget in TW). Go task maneger isn't very good for me. Maybe some knows something similar?

In the app drawer of Go there is a Running tab. You can choose and close apps from there.
