I've never used helix, but I'm one of the few that likes touchwiz quite alot
I use ADW on my mytouch3g and touchwiz on my vibrant, though I will say that I purchased the paid version of launcher pro as well and I generaly recomend launcher pro to new users as it is very simple to use.
i also love touchwiz but the devs doesn't support it.

Well I was going to try it out but I didn't see it as an option on the market. I'm running Froyo for what it's worth.
There is no perfect launcher imo, I would like launcher pro's home screen functionality with TW's horizontal tray. ADW doesn't cut it.

ADW actually has more homescreen options than launcher pro (it just doesent have the widgets that the paid version of LP has) and it has the horizontal drawer as an option, if thats what you wanted. you can also find equivilent widgets on the market to those of LP. the only features I've found that LP has that ADW does not is the ability to change the dockbar image and the 3d app drawer.
The newsest version of ADW is really pretty nice
although I will say that ADW is meant to be tweaked and customized, it has tons of options to play with, where Launcher Pro is set up pretty nicely as it is.
Show me how to have a scrolling dockbar, and use your own images in the dockbar of adw in the settings. Not to mention showing adw run as smooth as lp.

Launcher Pro is definitely the most functional and customizable launcher out right now...and it's going to get even better when the new code is finished.

The dev is rewriting all the code to clean it up and make it more efficient for better performance...supposed to be done in January.

That's why i don't use the ADW. It looks nice if you know how to customize, unfortunately i don't.

It would be perfect if he just added the horizontal tray as an option. I love options...
Tw vs Helix = i pick Tw
i personally use launcherpro.. but i still keep the TWlauncher as an option to switch back to from time to time
hello again recently i installed the ICS 4.0 theme(not launcher 2.4 i think launcher 2.4 is pathetic compared to the theme on GoLauncher).....and it made me have almost everything to look and function like the real ICS 4.0......but something happened it seems that my phone is a lot a lot faster and smoother than its ever been before it is rooted and it is gingerbread 2.3.4 KPH and i have not installed anything that can speed it up so why after installing this GoLauncher Theme is it sudenly become super fast and super smooth???
< sarcasm> I think your phone has thought u really installed ics < /sarcasm>

hahhahahah that could be one reason for it because this theme is very realistic and phones do get confused easily lol
I guess you are feeling the difference between 2 different launchers.
They all do perform differently, so thats where your "sudden" smoothness and speed could come from.
Cheers
theres a word for it, "placebo"
well i dont think its the differnece between the two launchers because i downloaded ICS launcher 2.4 and it was so horrible that i uninstalled it after just about 1min of use.......but could it just be the this GoLauncher ICS 4.0 theme thingy has some sort of accelerator(dont know what you guys call it in this forum) that might speed up my phone?

No, it does not.
The only thing I can think of is that youre storing the theme inside your (class 4)SD-card. The theme is maybe lighter which makes it load up faster.
Just a theory.
If you want a fast launcher i could recommend ADW Launcher Ex. If I wasnt so damn used to GOlauncher I'd switch to it.

but its not even how the theme loads its everything plus i forgot to mention it was its normal speed when i installed this golauncher theme and it was normal speed for like 2 days and then somehow all of the sudden out of nowwhere on day 3 it became super fast and super smooth that why i was concerned so i wanted to ask you guys if you have any ideas
ADW ex rocks!
+2!!! ADW Ex rocks. I tried out Go Launcher, and probably every launcher out there. If there's something that gives you almost every imaginable feature and yet doesn't slow down your phone. This has to be it.

It's faster, I'll admit that. I just switched over from the Go Launcher. But I feel like the Go Launcher has way more customization than the ADW Launcher. I'll keep giving it a try though. Liking some themes I saw. If anything I'll just back it up with Titanium just like Go Launcher and keep both.

a skin or theme for 3.6 is usless if we dont even have a rom for it
Launcher for Sense 3.0 and above is almost impossible as it requires some complex scripting. no luck no were

Like, it doesnt have to be sense but have that look. Like ICS Go launcher its not ics but it looks like it is.
Phoenix Launcher gives you a taste of it. But its still buggy as its still in development stages. Also it should be pushed as a /system/app so you can put widgets on the screen.
If you can get ICS Launcher from the market to work then that also gives you a taste.
I wouldn't recommend either launcher for daily use.

Oh! Sorry yeah i see where that is confusing. I wanted it to have like a sense look. Like be like Go launcher or Phoenix launcher but with that sense dock bar ect.
does anyone use Go Launcher on the Rezound?
The only reason I use it is because I like having
a lot of icons on one home screen. (6x7 to be
precise) HTC Sense doesn't seem to allow this,
or did I miss something?
THanks!
i tired and it lagged like hell on both ics and gingerbread. try adw ex, thing is smooth as butter.

I'm surprised it works fine on ics for you since I read a lot of compatibility complaints. I know it works fine on gb
I've used Sense, ADW, Go, Trebuchet, Nova, and now Apex. Out of all of them, only Go gave me a feeling of slow responsiveness. All custom launchers have lots of tweaks now (including grid size), so I go with whatever is in my current flavor of ICS unless I get issues.

Running GoLauncherEX myself. No lag at all
Have ran it on the following:
Ineffabilis Dues v1.01 and v1.4
CleanROM GBE, DE and SE
Still on old firmware as well. No problems
I use go everything. Rocks Widgets, keyboard, etc, it's super handy.

i'm using it on stock/unrooted....no issues whatsoever.
I had some lag on stock. Maybe I should give it another try...
im running it on CR 4.3 without lag or slugishness
I used goLauncher. However, I noticed the icons were very tiny, and widgets didn't take up the correct size of the screen. I'm using Apex Launcher now, so far no problems.
I absolutely love go launcher. It had all the options I need plus amazing themes. Rotation, gestures, custom fonts despite ics, and phenomenal updates, nothing even comes close. Sadly it only ran smooth on aosp or cm7 on tbolt. It runs like **** on rezound, after debloating and desensing , specially on ics. Ppl suggested other launchers but none come close in terms of themes maybe in options..
I just deal with the lags and hick ups and thank my god for their phenomenal dev team they came a long way on ics
Ask not what your developer can do for you, ask what you can do for your developer.
Used it for awhile and then noticed in my proxy logs that it was calling to china randomly throughout the day. adw ex now.

I tried go launcher when I was completely stock and it did lag so I decided I would try out sense for awhile. I ran go launcher on my Droid x running miui. I ended up not liking the sense launcher at all. Yesterday I rooted and tried out a couple of roms. Go launcher works great on cleanrom 1.7.5 and ineffabilis 1.4(currently on).

I use go launcher myself. I started using it real close to it's initial release and it definitely offers the most complete package among it's competitors in my opinion.
Whats up with the transitions for the amaze? Where can you turns those off? I mean I've looked just about everywhere; the square transition from page to page is annoying. Any way to turn it off or change it? Thanks
You can't change the page transitions on Sense, if it's too much to put up with, you could always use a third party launcher such as Go Launcher Ex or ADW Launcher Ex

Meh...this is one of the things i hate about sense...
HTC needs to step it up with sense. yeah they got sense 4.0 now but thats probably exclusive to the V X and S from the One series, until someone ports the roms over...I don't like the lockscreen, the app page, transitions, bland everything..its so bad. it's aosp for me or 4.0...but since i like ics ill deal with it for now... but it doesnt even feel like ics ;\
