GO Launcher v2.87 Beta.. just came out.. highly recommended!
The last one was great.. but this one takes the smoothness level to a whole new level.
My home screen is cluttered with icons.. but is finally stutter free !

I still prefer ADW for gingerbread and Apex for ICS roms. Seems like go launcher always sucked extra battery on my devices.

Wow its definitely a LOT faster on my Note.
The only thing that bugs me is the smooth/slow transition when launching apps. Compared to Apex in which the apps launch very quickly. It's like Go launcher is almost toooo smooth in that respect.
I'll also monitor battery use via "bad assbattery monitor" since the last version definitely used more battery than other launchers.
It is my favorite launcher even though I switched to Apex the last week. I'll give Go another try

I just installed the beta and I don't notice any difference at all. That being said, go launcher is my favorite Gab launcher and definitely smoother than all of them except touchwiz.

Take a read thru the description on the blog, all the changes are there.
Namely, the major change I like is the new method for adding shortcuts, widgets, etc. Long press any empty area on the screen and instead of the ugly menu, a list is displayed at the bottom.
Also, the app drawer (the screen that shows the list of apps) is also much better.
Is it more fluid/smooth/faster? Eh...
It could still be better but its never going to be as smooth as IOS due to how Android works vs IOS. Android physically moves each pixel around on the screen using 'math' to determine where each pixel should be drawn, one pixel at a time, then draws the frame, repeating frame by frame where as IOS uses pre-processed pictures in rapid succession similar to how film on a projector works.
Downloading now can't wait to try it.

The app drawer is just as choppy as it ever was. Mine is mostly slow entering the app drawer. I would also be in favor of cutting off the animation all together.

No Go. After random nonsense with their apps, including dragging phones down to their knees with running logcat hundreds of times in an apparent public debug release, no. Avoid all Go junk.
Plus... ios look? really?
Beta 3 is up. Beta 2 I had no battery issues. Actually go has never given me battery problems to over a year and two phones.

Hi Guys,
Quick question out of Adw launcher and LauncherPro or Go Launcher Which is the best to use??
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
KiK me at username CellOo
thanks
I just tried Go Launcher Ex for the first time yesterday and I must say I am in love. Hands down the best launcher I have used to date. There are so many options and I love all the cool transitions. The Touch Wiz skin is pretty cool as well...It also has it's own free widgets that you can download.
I thought I was going to miss the Sense launcher but I do not see myself going back anytime soon.
The 3Evo was born to have 5 rows in it's launcher. It just fits perfectly. Add that with some Beautiful widgets, and it just can't be beat!
ive been using ADW and lovin it

Was using ADWex but it isn't as smooth as launcher pro (when lp works properly anyway) so I tried go launcher, love it, extremely smooth, do miss the 3d (aka 4d) drawer though. Aside from that it kicks lp's ass.

D. None of the above.
Spb 3d mobile shell is the only other launcher I use. Go back and forth between it and stock. It's widgets are by far the best in my opinion. It's not quite as smooth as sense and it costs... But well worth the money if you ask me.

I like that one a lot too. Use it intermittently. Only thing I don't like about that one is that when you go to "all apps" and you scroll fast, when you touch to stop the scroll, the apps crawl up or down for a second or more (to lock on to a row) and if you try to touch an icon to start an app while the scroll is still crawling, it ignores it. You have to wait until the crawling scroll is done and then tap again. So I've gone back to Sense just because the fact that it scrolls all apps a page at a time is nice.
Mike
I can't use any of them, because none of them (without root) will give me a simple 1x1 widget that will display my unread exchange emails. (I can't use k-9 because my work uses Exchange 2010).
15 BUCKS FOR A FREAKING LAUNCHER???
bwahahahahahahaha joke right?
I also like Go Launcher but the sense is really fast and go Launcher has a lag when changing pages.
I see that spb has experimental stereoscopic built into it. does that do anything on the evo3d?
Personally, I have tried all that you've listed... Also GDE.
I have stuck with Go ever since I really figured it out. It gets my vote!
I tried Go for a little bit. (Few hours) Unless I missed it in the options I didn't see where I could get a full screen app drawer. I just felt like I was missing a lot if real estate when I opened the drawer. Got in my nerves :/ Small I know, but that's me.

I switch between ADW EX & Go Launcher....I like to keep things clean looking, so Go Launcher I set up with the scrolling dockbar hidden (revealed with a down swipe). With ADW EX I use basically a dual dockbar & toggle between the 2 with a downswipe on the screen. 1 home screen and lots of real estate to actually enjoy my wallpaper.

I am enjoying my 3vo. But being my first real android, I do miss having quality apps from winmo days. They do cost more, but worked and looked better to me. Every one seems to be used to free mediocre apps that no one tries the pay apps. Unfortunately if no one pays there won't be many quality apps. I used SPB MS in winmo and will now try it here. I miss Agenda One as my calender also.

Either the people in this thread don't know what silky smooth is or their phones are better than ours for some reason. But the display at the sprint store dis the same thing. The stock launcher is already laggy as hell so a lwp makes it non issue on stock launcher. But on any other launcher, there are issues.
My EVO 3d was the same way. Pure vanilla phones seem to do better with lwp...like the LG g2x and nexus s

Here's a tip: STOP USING LIVE WALLPAPERS THEY KILL YOUR BATTERY. Also LWP shouldnt slow your phone down if anything it should be faster since lwp keep your cpu clock speed a bit higher.

Anything that requires resources and CPU cycles should slow things down. Albeit how much depends on many factors. Video based apps like live wallpaper especially could be resource intensive.

Dont you mean lower? Higher, in theory, would make it slower because it needs that power to multi-task for whatever reason? But then again, some of my servers run well over 200% and no one complains? Oh well............

I mean live wallpapers keep the cpu active, you fire up the screen so its already faster than the phone with regular wallpaper because it needs to continuously keep the lwp going? Idk maybe im seeing this wrong......seems like the phone using lwp should be more responsive and able to multitask over the phone with regular wallpaper since the cores have to fire up upon the screen wake.

I notice with the GS3, Apex and Nova both show signs of a shutter type lag while swiping through screens. Anyone notice this as well? I have another buddy with a Verizon version and his also does it. I know I didn't see this type of lag on my E4GT and he doesn't see it on his gnex. I would assume that the additional gig of ram would help keep things smooth as can be but I'm just not seeing it. Other observations, there isn't any lag in tw launcher, tsf shell or even in the actual app drawer in Apex. So I'm just curious why we are seeing this or is there a fix? Thanks for looking.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2
I noticed this as well. It was more noticeable in Nova though.
I use Apex with card stack homescreen scrolling and a min. scroll time of 40, and it's barely noticeable now.
I suspect resolution and caching are to blame, but not sure if there's a fix...
Did you check keep in memory under advance settings? It seems to help.

Yeah, if I set the scroll speed to a faster setting, it definitely makes it not noticeable but then the animation isn't as cool. Kinda disappointing since apex is my favorite.

I see lag in every launcher on every ROM I've tried. Nova, Apex, TW all lag somewhat at one point or another. Sometimes they're smooth, other times they're laggy. I'm hoping Jelly Bean will improve things. The CM10 beta seems a lot smoother.
Maybe give go launcher ex a try. Barely lags for me and only when I wake up the phone and not all the time. I use stack transition. Using default, cube in, wave, are also super smooth.

Lag is very noticeable for me in both Nova and TW launchers. Nova has "faster than light" animation speed as well as no animation - these help.

I'm using Go Launcher right now, and I'm pretty satisfied. Is there any better theme app than this? what apps do you use for your theme?
I really like go sms pro and a few others They make a lot of decent apps, all highly customizable. I used go launcher before I got CM9. As for others? Idk.

Same with me, that's a waste of space. Apex launcher doesn't have that black menu bar. Not sure about other launchers.
I used it in the past but found it "choppier" then other options. ADWLauncher EX is my go-to nowadays. never had a problem with it.
I'm trying it right now. It seems to be the only one that I can find that offers a 5 column app drawer and allows resizable widgets for free.
It seems pretty fast, there is choppiness every now and then but that is usually when I'm running other stuff at the same time.
The biggest downside is the Honeycomb menu bar. I emailed the developer about this issue, hopefully they will take care of it since it is a fairly simple fix. If some of you like it too (except for the menu bar), I'd encourage you to email them and complain. The more complaints the higher the chances of a fix. [email protected]

It sounds like you're definitely having an issue with the launcher configuration. I've dealt with that before too, but the good thing is sometimes I'll have trouble with nova trying to get the settings dialed in perfect and it still will feel off, and I'll try apex and the stock settings out of the box perform crazy fast and smooth. Or it might be vice versa, but I would tinker with that.
Also, make absolutely sure you aren't restoring your launcher backup or settings or anything that you used on the S3 over to the DNA.

I'm talking about the settings in the Nova launcher settings, not the ones in developer settings. There are speed settings in Nova launcher's settings that you can tell it to give priority to speed over graphics.
Edit: Found another person's post on another site about it:
To make it even faster go to nova settings, look and feel and change scroll and animation speed to faster than light.

Maybe you just aren't used to sense? Sense has always been known for being a heavier skin. I'm fine with it, however sense 5 is way faster and smoother. Just because the phone doesn't feel fast, doesn't mean it isn't. It is a very quick device.

I don't know if this thread is dead but for people with this issue in either nova or apex in their respective advanced settings you can make the launcher stay in memory. This brings redraws to nothing on apex for me.
