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

You can use nova,apex,adw,go launcher,Sony experia launcher or wait for chameleon laucher. I use (private beta) chameleon launcher on my tablet and it is fantastic. You can try also holo launcher HD.

Thanks, I thought about using adw or launcher pro but decided to go with apex. So far I love it! I can even still use the cobalt theme that I was using on the stock jb theme. I may have to check out chameleon launcher as I have not heard anything about it. Thanks!

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.

Nova Launcher is the best right now, but it's for ICS.
If you're still on GB, then use ADW EX.

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
Sent from my MB860 using XDA
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

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!

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) .

What is the best launcher for Galaxy y?
sTOCk launcher
adw w/ ics icons..
It's a matter of personal preference imo.
Mos popular launchers: GO Launcher EX, ADW, LP
All of those offer tons of customization. If you're after something light try Zeam, FTL or 360 Launcher. QQ Launcher is similar to 360, although 360 is lighter. They offer the same amount of customization.
Another launcher worth noting is Nemus Launcher. You can also try 3d launchers like SPB Shell, TSF Shell, or Regina 3d.

Stock Launcher/Holo launcher.
i,m using adw ex launcher with the minimalist theme its simple,very fast and beautifull.greeeeeetz
before i used ADW Ex with minimalist for 2 months, now im on ADW Ex + Suave HD
ADW Ex for me is simply the best, tested all launchers for SGY, be it stock, modified stock, touchwiz, sense, LP, zeam, phoenix, the one on WeUI (forgot the name), and many more,
my simplest answer- ADW Ex lets me do what i want for my screen, has all the options i need and many more, further exceeds my expectations,
you can use :
Stock rom = 1st for me is no.1
ADw Launcher = i dont like this launcher
GO Launcher = not bad launcher
Lighting Launcher = you can get it in market and try it !
.
ADW Ex!!
Used to use Go Launcher Ex! No doubt it's gr888!! Bt it has too much features, transitions nd animations make it heavy!
Now using ADW Launcher Ex.. it's much li8er! using it with Glow Legacy Pro theme!
I only wish TouchWiz Launcher let us modify it more.. then I never would hv tried another one! As I don't like similar apps installed in my device!
Im using a modified stock launcher works great. Simple and Transparent just the way I like it. And I like to keep it as close to stock as much as I can.
Try LauncherPro Sense UI
Looks great along with Fancy Widgets and Nexus Revamped Live Wallpaper
mobint's holo launcher is nice n light. xperia launcher with corner shortcut is also light and a little bit fancy with xperia style.
