How come when using a high 3D grafic live walppaper, like KOI for example, the app drawer scrolling lags like Hell, but the Desktop scrolling is smooth, using same number of icons? I would expect that the Desktop scrolling to lag more cause of more complex transitions, lile scatter? Also, generally, app drawer sliding lags more than desktop, even without any wallp, but more visibe on live wallp background. And no matter if using transparent or dark background. Sliding lags even if setting background to black, if using a live wallp.
Transparency in app drawer...

Remove transparency and you will have the same lag. As i said, even on black background the lag is there when using live wallp. Why not on desktop too?
It may happen because of the fact that with app drawer open, you have twice as much icons loaded (desktop + drawer) so it's not really the same number of icons. Just a tought.

No difference.
But the lag exists between app drawer and desktop no matter the transparency. All launchers have that lag, no matter they use or not transparency on app drawer. That was the question.
At least on launchers we talked about> ADW, Zeam, Go and Nemus. The last two are a bit faster indeed, but lag is still there.Why?
no lag on GO for me.. :?
and as said, even a little transparency will lead to lag on ADW, you need to put up a total solid color

Did that and still lags when having live wallp in background.
I'll stay on ADW. Using static wallp no lag or stock live wallp only some. Besides it's the most versatile launcher of all. Probably the reason for using it as deault by Cyanogen.
I say use Launcher Pro, it's best
Also, which rom u use?? Stock one just sucks! any launcher used to suck on stock for me

I use LaunchPro instead of TouchWiz and I'm very satisfied,
I can configure more rows / icons than so graphics looks better, I can configure dock (2 or 3 docks also with gesture support) and better support for App2sd after reboot.
What do you use as your home enviroment ?
i use GO Launcher is very fast and simple
I use Stock TouchWiz, i've tried ADWLauncher, LauncherPro and GoLauncher, both a bit too slow for me.. But i'll give i5510's touchwiz launcher à try (For the Landscape support \o/).
The LG Optimus launcher is awesome too, but it doesn't work well on the i5800... it needs some work

home orientation change is the fastest among all the launchers..
i have go launcher only and uninstalled all launchers even tw launcher thru titanium backup.....
I prefer them in this order :
ADW Launcher (hiding dock and resizable widgets are my favourites)
Go Launcher (a very complete package but consumes a lot of battery)
Launcher Pro (activities and swipe gestures are favourites here)
Zeam (very light weight)
Live Home (3D awesome effects)
I have all of them and keeps changing (killing all other through Task Manager) as per my mood
Launcher Pro is the best of all....

I want Photo Widgets But it seems theses Home replaceMents Dont have them
Launcher pro and ADW use to have Photo widgets but not anymore
do you guys have any ideas or should i just stick to Sense

I use adw now....been for about 7 mo.that now...I used to use LP....been a while tho....but I'm almost positive that LP had the people widgets but adw doesn't.....I guess it all comes down to personal preference....but there's a TON in the market....but I.always though.adw was a bit more stable

Actually, I've been using 'HE Launcher 2' lately (free from the market) and I love it. You can choose from all the popular docks (including a perfect Sense rosie, stock Gingerbread, Samsung, Froyo, espresso, blur, etc.), it has swipe-to-hide notification bar feature that works perfectly, and you can completely customize the size of your homescreens AND widgets.
Plus, Custom transitions, a blazing fast FULL app drawer, supports live wallpaper too..
I added a flip-clock with fancy widgets home, so now my phone LOOKS like it's running the Stock launcher, but it's waaay faster.

I have been using LP for a while now, sense was driving me nuts lol.
The stock android photo frame widget will work with any launcher..
Try out Go Launcher, it's free with alot of different themes and widgets (including a people, messaging, and Facebook widget)
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
Go launcher EX works wonders for me , couple it with the pure messenger and calendar and built in FB widget its stunning.
So I know this might seem funny to some people...
But I REALLY love the people widget that Sense has that lists favorites along the left but their last interaction next to them. Like latest facebook status, or call timing, or text message, etc.
Does any replacement launcher offer something similar?
Or is there a standalone app/widget that can do this?
If so, I definitely wouldn't mind parting with Sense...
I know that I'm not the only Launcherpro user out there!
Honestly I originally chose LPP because of the sense like widgets, but with the addition of themes (icon and widget) and transition animations, I really can't use anything else.
Plus I've found LPP to be more responsive than go or Adw, but i know many would argue on this point.
Really its just personal preference- they're all great launchers.

I'm anxious to see which launcher will be the first to be in 3D, similar to the EVO3D commercials, which shows the Sense home screen in 3D.
I have tried all launchers outhere and always go back to launcher pro. If you know how to set it up you'll have the smoother best looking launcher. LP is running at a cap 60fps scrolling with no lag. Transition effect "scale" and even iphone user are shock in how much more smoother my launcher is compare to an iphone 4. The widget are awesome too. Im using facebook, calendar and bookmark with honeycomb theme. Would not go back to any other launcher again. If anyone mention stutter or lag in LP is because they have not set it up right in the setting cause i was getting lag at first too.

Do you know where to find more working widgets? Only SiMi clock and simple calendar work in QQ.
I agree it does look good, but would like more widgets for it as well. Also pin codes don't work as you have to unlock the screen twice.
Yes it's blazing fast but many widget didn't work properly. Also if you use the custom lock you can't insert your pin as electric said. I will follow the development anyway, it looks very promising!
I'm using GO Launcher now but sometimes it slows down I think I will give ADW Launcher a try...
Yeah, it may improve and fix the bug with inserting a pin etc and more widgets etc, it has potential.

Tried ADWLauncher EX for two days. It does not offer so much more functions compared to the default launcher. Also, the default launcher has a easier and more intuitive UI and looks nice as well.
Worst part is that ADW EX lags as hell. Might be because the default launcher was still running with all wigets on it, but I was fed up with ADW anyway.
Launcher7 is till now the best replacement launcher for me, you should try it, even if you don't like WP7, change the tiles to transparent and choose a nice background and it wil look very different.
If I can share my experience I also tried GO Launcher EX and Launcher PRO in these days.
GO Launcher has a lot of way to customize your homescreen but feels a little choppy sometimes.
Now I'm running with Launcher PRO, it is very fast and has a good amount of customizations, but it's a little outdated (may 2011). I hope the developer will release a fresh version soon...

ADW was just a row of lags on my phone, and I only had 4 homescreens with approximately 5 widgets in total. The only replacement launcher that does not suck is Launcher7 imo, but it has a totally different lay-out than other launchers, which you got to love or hate. The default launcher is not bad at all.

Go, in my opinion, is much better. You can't have folders in app drawer in stock launcher. In stock homescreen you can have 16 icons distributed in 4 corners... you can have the same number of icons in the dock if agruped by folders, which takes less space than the 4 corners.
Launchers are basically a matter of opinion.
In the stock launcher you can have, 4 corners x 4 folders x 4 icons = 64 icons. I actually hardly install more than 10 apps on my phone so i couldnt care less I just want it to be clean, and fast.

I personally have been using stock launcher always, with a dock and not corners. Why? Because I like it and it is enough for me. Other launchers have lots of functions, but I don't need to those. On my home screen, I just have Beautiful Widgets 4x2 widget and most used apps I have placed on homescreen.
Also, I have noticed higher RAM usage from other launchers(Go, ADW, LauncherPro, some more), smoothness has always been the same for me.
I think Go Launcher is better than stock, but that's only my opinion. It's pretty much customizable and stuff. But I would like to use stock launcher only if the app drawer can be changed to vertical continuous (option you can use with Go Launcher) and the automatic orientation (app drawer) is there a way to change that? I have Arc Launcher instead of the 4 courner that Live has, because I think it looks nicer.
Maybe someone can recommend apps that can put folders in the app drawer or change app drawer orientation, many things you can do without using go launcher maybe i change to stock, but i really like go, i have been using a lot of time and its great.
With launcherpro phone works best.

You should try adw launcher. It is the only one I found that has a categorized app drawer. Makes things soo much more organized. And you can just put folder-like category shortcuts on your homescreen for easy access.
Beautyful transition-effects, great dock customisations... Gove it a try, if you are looking for a new favorite launcher.

I installed Nova and I must say I'm pretty impressed so far. I can configure the apps drawer in an alphabetical list style and much more.
One thing I find a little disappointing but that seems to be the same problem for all launchers is that the non resizable widgets are screwed up if I add them to the home screen when the grid size is changed to 5x5 or more
