I found go launcher ex to be the fastest ...
I don't believe this belongs in development.

Agreed. I think the right one is "Themes and Apps"
I use 'launcher pro'.
Launcher pro ftw smooth and nice

I have to give ADW love... Have used all. Go Launcher was my favorite until I got ADW.. Launcher Pro is nice as well, but ADW is all-around better for my needs. I would suggest trying all three with Home Switcher and see which one you like the best.
Adwex all the way. By far the best with the most options

Here is what I've found with launchers
Most graphic effects and home screen customization: Regina Launcher
Lightest most efficient most customizable options : Launcher Pro and/or ADW
Best themed launcher: Launcher7
other good launchers: Sony Xperia Arc Launcher ($1.99), honeycomb launcher (a lot of bugs but very nice otherwise), and SPB Shell 3D Launcher ($14.99, I think).
Hope this helps I have personally tested all of these launcher and currently have all but the SPB launcher installed

I don't know if they've fixed it yet, but I found that Go Launcher was causing my internal sdcard to get wiped at least daily. As soon as I uninstalled it, the wiping stopped.
I moved to LauncherPro and haven't looked back since.
Im a fan of go launcher ex but now I Luke the stock launcher in alien rom

I find all are laggy at least on some occasions, which is slightly disappointing considering the hardware.

I've never had that happen with either Go Launcher or LauncherPro - however, I also don't use much in the way of widgets. If someone uses a lot of them, there may be no way around some occasional lag, no matter what launcher you use.
I'm currently using Go Launcher. It's running more stable than ADW for me.
Hi, I'm using go launcher because its far the best launcher for me...but its using up to twenty mb in its background service. Does anyone know how to lower it our even disable it? No other launcher have it (but yupee every other launcher lagging on my device since I updated to gingerbread and I'm can't root it..) Thnx for reply

i ll have to dissapoint you but as another member said to me :Go launcher is just a ram hog.As for the memory usage im sorry but there is no option in go launcher
that allows you to change the memory preset.Go launcher uses too much memory because it has nice style and lots of themes and customizations.If you like themes and customization you can also try ADW Launcher
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.

Dont jus say thanks, use d 'THANKS' button. [XDA RULE]
I find ADW Launcher better than GO Launcher
ADW launcher FTW..!!
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.
Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda premium
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

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 .

-a five by five grid for apps like the stock one
-landscape mode

Plus its free and offers much more functionality than other launchers.
It even supports some absurdly high number of home screens (it 'was' 30 but I dont know if they reduced this or not).
Offers everything you are looking for + the ability to hide apps (useful for those of us who havent gotten around to rooting / debloating yet) and has a pretty low memory footprint. Has alot of features other paid launchers have too.

It seems ADW and Go Launcher's lagginess are different for different people. ADW was quite a bit slower than Go Launcher for me.
I personally like SSLauncher

If money doesnt matter a lot for you, go for SPB Shell. It's the best you can make use of for your dual core processor

ROM - Paranoid Android By ByteCode.
Sent via XDA App.
I installed and I liked it - for a day. On day 2 it started an update that was not a normal Play Store update. There were download notifications in chinese. Seems really suspucious epsecially considering where it was developed. Also the support web site is all chinese rendering it useless to a lot of people. Beware.
Guess u tried updating from the in-app update option.
I update only via google play hence did not come across this issue.

Windoss 8 style launcher is more boring.
Windoss 8 style is more boring, but not bad WP8 launcher... nice:good:
Used it for about hour and restored to Trebuchet... This is good for bigger phones (screen size OFC).
Have any of you experienced a lot of lag with this launcher? I'm used to launchers like nova and trebuchet that are nice and smooth while this one seems to be choppy. I like it a lot though
