So I have been using Apex lately but want to know which one everyone prefers and why
Sent from my MB870 using xda premium
I really dont see that big of a difference between the two.
Honestly, apex. It has features in the free version that you have to pay for in Nova. I like the app drawer setting to hide apps from the drawer. It seemed smoother for me too. I put apex, nova, trebuche and miui launchers through the paces and I found apex to be the best. If miui launcher wasn't so buggy, I'd use that but yea. I use apex on miui and cm9

Its actually pretty nice. Features arent all there, but still nice for a simple launcher.
Apex because of the options and customizing I can do with it.
Sent from my CM9'd Galaxy 2
Yeah I prefer apex too, just a better experience overall than nova. I've got the paid version but as mentioned before if you're going for free, apex is absolutely the way to go.

Isn't Apex for ICS (4.0)? If so then why is this even in DX2 ?
I'm just saying...
Slim!

Because CM9 and MIUI that we have are ICS albeit without the kernel
Sent from my MB870 using xda premium
Its too bad that the X2 is not on a nightly CM9 build schedule like the Nook Color. The CM9 trebuche launcher is getting better everyday and is almost on par with Apex now. Soon it will exceed in features, but we are stuck on an old build of CM9.
Can we not just grab the trebuchet launcher apk from a nightly and give it a try?

Cool. I installed it and all seems fine. I dont know what changes were made though. I've been using Apex but may switch to this since it is a system app and seems to runs faster.

Really? Which variant?
I use the 5 screen one and it's flawless. Haven't found a better launcher. I just wish it had landscape mode. Sometimes if I use WidgetLocker and it's in landscape mode, the SE Launcher reloads itself but in landscape mode. Aside from the icons not being placed properly it otherwise looks great.
Wish someone with enough skills could make a variant with landscape mode!
Works great. I think I like it better than the touchwiz one on here

TW laucher is faster than this, in fact i think its the fastest launcher for our atrix right now. Anyway if you want to make arc launcher faster try reducing the number of applications in each appdrawer page.

Oops meant to press quote, but you could try using the stock HC launcher. I like that the best out of all the ones I've tried
I basically have 3 issues with it #1 wasted screen real estate, #2 no folder support, and and #3, can't delete unused home screens

I think he meant the stock honeycomb launcher, not the stock htc launcher. The stock honeycomb launcher does not have wasted space, the other two I'm not sure about.
Ah yeah I saw a "t" in there that wasn't there lol. Yeah I saw the team syndicate one and I tried it out, only problem is it was kinda designed for gb and froyo so it has a virtual notification bar that can't be disabled... However that was the free version it might be able to be disabled on the paid I dunno. Anywhere on XDA I could just grab the apk for the actual stock launcher and install it?

GO Launcher EX is good. Has lots of features that most Launchers don't
But I always miss the glorious sense widgets that you cannot get any where else.
Honestly I've warmed up to the sense launcher a bit. Its basic and bare but the cool animations and awesome sense widgets make it worth using. As far as real estate, Go launcher HD had the issue too, just seems to be a honeycomb thing so whatever really. Think I'll just stick with Sense for now!
yea go launcher HD (beta) is a nice alternative to the stock or htc launchers for sure. just started using it today and really like the folder support
it's not on the market u'll have to search around for it
Yeah I found it from a google search, had a download link,and thats how I got it
Yeah I tried Go Launcher HD and it certainly a beta. Need lots of work.

Agreed! Came here to just root my phone to shut off some system apps and free up some ram.
I thought official gb 2.3.6 was good enough for me. Then after reading countless tutorials I decided i'd try a few custom ROMS. I'm running SHOstock2 V3 and it's just pure sex!
Try ADW Launcher. Kinda similar in style to APEX
Yea, apex is pretty nice. Seems very customizable but most importantly, i can back up all my setting, but im sure other launchers can do that too.
