I want to move to S3, but i want to know if it is 5x5 grid like in the Note.
Sent from Samsung Galaxy Note
Standard TW: No.
Apex, Nova,....: Yes
As above - however there are modified TW launchers on XDA - with 5x5 grids

I'm using apex now, I think its one of the best. ADW is good but I got tired of Go ex and nova pretty quickly.
5x5 works great on apex launcher
I'm using GoLauncher, which lets you freely choose the number of columns and rows.
I'm using 5x6 on ADW.

How can I set Apex launcher to show 5x5 or 5x6 icons in the applications drawer?
Thank you.

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.

If you mean the ics look no... but if you mean the customization then try go launcher theirs ics icons and its extremely customizable..

Go launcher is highly recommended. Adw is good...if you like how MIUI is set up, try SS launcher..

I did remember there was a ICS like launcher for GB called "ICS launcher" or something.
But to be honest that one s*cked.
If you are looking for a launcher replacement, go launcher worked pretty well for me when I was on GB.
I always just used a Ice Cream Sandwich theme that works with ADW and Go also I think some other lunchers too.

When I was using GB I was using GO launcher it works really well and allows you to do a lot of customizing.
Adw = apex
They have same menus and configs other than the ics features. My apex setup is exactly the same as adw when I was on gb.

Took the words right out of my mouth. I would highly recommend holo launcher. It's the only ics launcher that truly simulates the ics experience perfectly (or as perfectly as you can on gingerbread). The biggie for me was the stackable shortcuts feature. This is the only one I tried that truly got it right. Spot on. And it's super smooth too.

Could not agree more! Best that I have found. ADW is also really good... just really hard to customize. Especially with custom Icons. Here's a screen shot of Holo Launcher.
I think you should go for ADW Launcher buddy...
I use holo launcher before but ADW is so good... :good: just like some user said above its like Apex launcher
here is my GALAXY Ace Plus with ADW launcher

ADW Launcher Ex...for true customisation no other launcher even comes close! I purchased this app while back and then abandoned it but later when time came to customise my tablet, most of the setups I came across recommended using ADW. I went back to it and gosh am running the MetroUI setup currently and its awesome!
+ 1 for ADW EX
Apex launcher works great on my prime!
Lol i'm still running stock launcher .So far so good with it.

I've actually tried most all of them; Go Luncher Ex, Apex Launcher, ADWLauncher Ex, Go Launcher HD for Pad, and Nova Launcher.
I'm using Nova Launcher now. The one thing Nova Launcher does is allow me to use the entire screen. It seems that all the other launchers have very large margins on the left and right. With Nova Launcher, I can place icons and widgets right up to the edge for the screen.
Don't seem to be able to do that with the other launchers. Nova Launcher has a margin control setting.
+1 for ADW Launcher EX.
I use it for the customization.
Using HUBS on my Prime at the moment, and I love it!
This probably ought to be in the Themes and Apps forum, but I have been using Go HD for a few weeks, and I really dig it. It does glitch out every once in a while, but other than that, it has been great.

Which soda is best for killing my thirst? It's a matter of opinion!
I really like Nova Launcher. It is like what stock would be with more options. You can add rows and columns to the desktop and the drawer, resize widgets, and customize docks with scrolling and hiding, if you use them.
And Coke is the best
I used to use adw ex on tf101 with honeycomb, but adw ex doesn't work well with ics (scrolling Widgets problems) .
Now using nova and its quite nice..
Unfortunally less confifuration options and cannot resize all widgets....

Anyone have the apk for ADW, think I should give it a shot? It says it's not compatible with the Prime in the Play Store.
There seems to be enough screen space to fit 5x5 icons on the homescreens instead of 4x4.
What's the easiest way to do this on a stock SGS3?
I don't think there are any mods yet to change the stock TW launcher. You might want to check out Apex Launcher or Nova Launcher if you haven't already.

Or just install another launcher such as Go Launcher.

I tried out Nova (free) for a few days, have uninstalled due to:
- icons sometimes take a while to reappear.
- Calendar / S Planner widget sometimes takes a long time to populate.
The TW mods appear to need root... so I'm back to stock TW, and realizing that I don't need more than 4x4 that badly.
I currently use launcher 4.2 for my launcher I do not like the Google search bar at the top of the screen. Does anybody know of a good launcher that does not have the Google search bar?

I tried those launchers and they still have the google search bar at the top. I want to use 100% of my screen. I do not want part of it used by the google search option. BAMF ROM for my Nexus phone modifies the Laucher 4.2 and removes that search bar. They just do not have BAMF for the nexus 10 yet.
There is a option in nova to remove it. Nova settings - Desktop - Persistent Search Bar

Ok thanks. I decided to install the Launcher2.apk that is in my 4.2 ROM from my phone which has the search bar removed and it works fine so I am good. I do not really like all of these launchers that have all of these options. I just like a simple clean launcher. Thanks for all of the help.

Agreed. I downloaded Nova, but I can't stand the size of the dock. I tried fiddling with it to see if I could resize it, but no success. Sticking with stock launcher for now

You can adjust the grid size in most launchers, I use Apex Pro, and have no size issues, I use a 11x9 grid , which is more than the stock launcher, everything works fine ...
Also be sure to change the Margin size, makes a difference if using a higher density grid ..
Nova launcher Prime is the best.
