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 !

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

Hi guys,
I'm just waiting 2 receive my new mini and I don't have much experience yet with it since I have been using HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 so far.
Could you share your experience with various launchers, i.e. which one do you prefer and why?
I would need something simple with most important widgets like contacts, browser, weather etc.
Cheers

ADW is best.... Have many options and costomization
Helix is also good
Helix is very Stable and good
I have had many Force Stops with ADW
I use Helix. Simple and fast (And they say it increases your battery life).
BTW, Anyone knew how to make the app drawer transparent? The black background? I still want to see my wallpaper when I'm opening the app drawer (my wallpaper is Droid eating apple)
i tried EVERY launcher out there...the conclusion: ADW is the best for me;
astonishing customization, very good speed, stability and battery consumption and the only one so far with the ability to turn every application or widget in a useful icon; for example you can put a "smart search" icon on your bottom dock bar...indispensable for me.
maybe not to many themes for now though
Try Zeam 1.5.1 (for Donut).
It's simple, fast, efficient and just does the job
ADW Launcher and Helix!
@pulpoff, can you please pm me that version I cant find it anywhere, thanks
ADW! let your creativity takes you!
Get my apps folder from black theme thread, its included in it.

I use Zeam too -> Infopage: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=664149
Download: slideme.org/application/zeam
But the infopage above says that it is only available for android 2.1 and there has been no update yet. Right?
I liked ahome 4 beta. but it got expired
Is it necessary to delete the default launcher after you installed a custom one, and if yes, how is it performed?
thanx
There is no need to remove it.
Simply restart your phone and a pop-up will appear to choose the launcher you want.

Hi,
I have been using ADW Launcher for my SG 3 on Froyo. But is this the best launcher app available? How does it compare with the Launcher Pro as well as the stock Android Launcher?
Also, can i uninstall my stock android launcher using Titanium backup?
ADW EX is the BEST!
it all depends on what you want from a launcher, everybody is different.
try:
zeam launcher (free-lightweight)
go launcher (free-has some useful things i havent see in other launchers)
helix launcher
launcher pro (free and paid version)
live home
...
and decide
for me personally its between zeam and go
edit: fixed helio to helix
I like both ADW EX and Go Launcher EX. My number one thing is horizontal scrolling in the app drawer. Vertical scrolling is a joke and completely useless.
Imo, ADWEx. Hands down. The customization is just very high and the 4D gingerbread-drawer style is most epicly epic
ADW EX rocks! Would love a scrolling dockbar on it though (like in launcher pro)

Is ADW EX worth buying? What is the battery / system performance?
if your main concern is battery/system performance get zeam. its free
Will try zeam then.
There are
Launcher pro
Zeam
Go launcher
Adw launcher
Live home
aHome
Gigerbread launcher
Helium launcher(I don't know this one. I just saw something in previous post)
I am using adw. But there are no big diferences between launchers. Everithing is better than stock one. If I should say what's best:
1. Adw launcher and go launcher.
2. Zeam and launcher pro.
3. Others

MY advice is Adw launcher or Gigerbread launcher. I'm using ADWLauncher, but if you google the different launchers, you can see what's works best for you as an individual! everyone has different looks i.e. pros and cons

Gingerbread launcher sucks ! All u get is the dock. No customisations nothing !
Sent from my GT-I5801 using XDA App
ADW or check em out yourself.
I think GoLauncher is the best. For me it looks way faster than ADW.
Deffo LauncherPro for me, quickest out of the lot, and the dock customisation with swipe gesture gives you many more options for quick launch compared to other launchers.
But as everybody says try a few before you buy, as everybody individual.
I use *spark.
Launcher pro is my personal favourite. Swipe gesture actions with scrolling dock bar means 30 shortcuts on the dock alone. Invaluable.

You mean 15, right?
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.

N the fact is go launcher eats more ram than ADW..!

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!
Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda premium
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
Sent from my GT-S5830 using XDA App
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 .
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.

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?
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions &

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
