What launcher do you use? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm sure there is probably another thread like this. But with so many new ones coming out all the time. I wanted to start a new thread that's more up to date. Go launcher use to be my go to launcher but I just downloaded QQ launcher pro and I really like it. Its similar to go launcher. Themes and such. But it also has an option for a new lock screen as well.

ADW Launcher EX is simply great

I have GO Launcher EX on my Nook Tablet, I like it, but I also haven't tried any other launchers other than the stock one. I used to use Launcher Pro when I had an Android phone.

ADW Launcher with my Guitar ADW theme.

Go launcher is my cup of tea, I believe it is one of the best launchers out there when it comes to battery consuming.

ADW launcher that comes with Elelinux

LauncherPro + LP SenseUI

Now I am using Launcher Pro

I have to give ADW love... Have used all. Go Launcher was my favorite until I got ADW.. Launcher Pro is nice as well, but ADW is all-around better for my needs. I would suggest trying all three with Home Switcher and see which one you like the best.
Adwex all the way. By far the best with the most options
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Here is what I've found with launchers
Most graphic effects and home screen customization: Regina Launcher
Lightest most efficient most customizable options : Launcher Pro and/or ADW
Best themed launcher: Launcher7
other good launchers: Sony Xperia Arc Launcher ($1.99), honeycomb launcher (a lot of bugs but very nice otherwise), and SPB Shell 3D Launcher ($14.99, I think).
Hope this helps I have personally tested all of these launcher and currently have all but the SPB launcher installed

I don't know if they've fixed it yet, but I found that Go Launcher was causing my internal sdcard to get wiped at least daily. As soon as I uninstalled it, the wiping stopped.
I moved to LauncherPro and haven't looked back since.

I find all are laggy at least on some occasions, which is slightly disappointing considering the hardware.

I've never had that happen with either Go Launcher or LauncherPro - however, I also don't use much in the way of widgets. If someone uses a lot of them, there may be no way around some occasional lag, no matter what launcher you use.
I'm currently using Go Launcher. It's running more stable than ADW for me.

What best launcher for the XT720?

For you which best launcher for the XT720?
I liked the Sony's Arc Launcher
But currently the best for me is the ADW launcher.
The Go Launcher is great, but in my XT720 always gave problem and restart the cellphone.
I prefer Zeam Launcher. Although it doesn't support scrollable widgets, it is fast, lightweight and stable.

Hi
I think the go launcher would be a good choice

Have tried many, nothing but launcher pro does it for me
I use ADWex bc that is what I used from the start, but I have a LPP backup bc I once got in a home loop and it sucked-big-time. Had to restored via TB in between loops. When I say it sucked, believe me, I'm not lying.
Launcher Pro Plus for sure. Aldo ADW and Go are pretty good too. Depends on personal preference I guess.

LPP is good but you need to purchase Plus version to use Widgets.
Go Launcher EX is the best and it is totally free. with widgets more than LPP. And also totally customizable.
i'm too using GO Launcher EX, very smooth and fast, lots of good FREE themes to choose from
I like try new launchers I'm now useing nemus launcher low memery use fast and the best thing its free.

good suggestion
i didn't even know that thing existed
i though they only made the IM chat software
I'm using Launcher pro for a while but, trying Go Launcher ex now.. it looks great and potential to my next default launcher
My favourite Go Launcher
just trying go launcher and here's my thought:
Go Launcher EX eats much more ram than launcher pro... 24 mb compare to launcher pro only 13 I think. what a pity since Go launcher has a lot of themes and customization, but no option to lower the ram comsumption.
Can we tweak Go launcher to use less ram?
Go Launcher Notification seems to be a good feature at first.. but after lot of FCs and a reboot, I realize that it takes 23-24mb to operate... so i needto turn it off.
so... maybe I go back to LP soon..
QQLauncher? It looks nice and I'll try it next
hmm... is there a way to use GO Calendar Widget with other launchers ?

[Q] ADW Launcher or Go Launcher ?

This poll is about which launcher you prefer on SGA. ADW o Go ?
I have long time with Go but i want to know if it's recommendable the ADW.
Go launcher is gud. It eats less memory. Adw is a lil bulky & sumtimes is force close. Stay with go launcher.

Never thought I'd say it as I'm a hardcore go fan, but adw is currently better.

I like more Go Launcher because ADW don't allow to create folders in app drawer. This is only option witch I'am missing in ADW.
Go Launcher is so much smoother, I think that ADW is good but I am a sucker for performance and eye candy.
Not much of a fan of either of the two, but I would prefer ADW to Go any day
adw ftw!

Launcher Pro all the way
But I'm switching to ADW as soon as I figure out how to hide apps from the drawer
I like ADWLauncher very much. . .
I will go for Go Launcher because of eye candy

Go launcher has a widget for almost everything and some cool customization. Uninstalled it from my ace because it makes my phone lag like hell and eats memory like no tomorrow. Currently using The best launcher out there: ADW EX. Its a paid app because its HELLA WORTH IT.
The speed and simpleness and all the high customization are just incredible. More than Go Launcher I must say. And the best of all, IT RUNS SMOOTHLY. Sure Go Launcher has eye candy to the max and go locker and all those things. But whatever. I prefer a mix of speed and eye candy. ADW EX is hands down the best out there for me.
Go launcher it has smoother app drawer and more themes

I'm going for GO launcher. Much smoother and much eye friendly. No doubt, I vote for GO.
I prefer adw launcher. Go launcher use more RAM. (not sure now).
I don't like go launcher app drawer(3 tabs!!!)
Adw free is open source and is used in Cyanogen as default launcher.
Bayint Naung you can disable the 3 tabs app drawer in Go Launcher settings .

[Q] What launcher do you use for your Android?

I'vs used so many launchers like Launcher Pro (Plus), ADW Launcher EX, Go Launcher EX, and so much more 3rd-party launchers, but I always seems to go back to stock GB launcher because of the graphic acceleration and the smoothness even with live wallpapers...
What launcher do you use and why? I really want to know Thanks
Stock, AdwEx, Nemus, Zeam and many more. I haven't found my "Favorite" yet. :-D

For slower phones I'm recommending LauncherPro, but for better-equipped mobiles GoLauncher is the best option due to large amount of cust. options, speed and reliability.
On LG GT540 I was using LauncherPro, and now on SGS - GoLauncher.
But what do you use? I'm just curious...

Nova Launcher is for ICS only.
It's a modified stock ICS launcher that gives your more options and customization.
Default Miui launcher, pretty much always use stock launchers.
Reason being, my attitude to computing devices is simple ...........
everything uses resources. On PC this isn't so much of an issue as PCs can have a deep pool of system resources to dip into. However on a mobile device thats not the case, so if i want my device to function quickly and
accurately then i need to NOT load it up with lots of non critical non productive
processes, that usually do nothing but impress n00bs with eyecandy.
oh, that sounds cool. I'll get that when i get ICS in my Nexus S thanks

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.

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

Active launcher, and i love ss launcher try that..

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.
