I find that go launcher is not battery-friendly and i would like to ask which launcher is better

Stock TouchWiz launcher for the win. Super smooth and I love it. If you don't like TW though, I'd go with GoLauncher - it seems to be ssecond best for battery.

Zeam is the most energy efficient, as it is the simplest and smallest launcher.
But In terms of configuration and functionality GoLauncherEX is the winner !
Stock seems to work well for me. Updated to KI4 (2.3.5) and battery life is quite good.
Ive been usign tsf and spb shell. Tsf options are awsome but they both kinda eat up a lot of battery. With the right rom and JD settings ive gotton up to 2 days without charging. Still looking for a Launcher thats the best though
apex launcher pro
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.

Never thought I'd say it as I'm a hardcore go fan, but adw is currently better.

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!

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

They have friendstream widget yet?

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 .
I so confused which launcher i choose so i want know ur best launcher you prefer !!!!!!
I use ADW EX for customisations, 360 if I want something that looks nice but also uses less battery, and if I just want to use my phone I use MIUI'S home launcher - Launcher/MIUIHome

ADW Ex on my phone.
Apex Launcher on my tablet.

GO Launcher EX is the best one if performance doesn't count. Otherwise, the same as okmijnlp said.

I was using the stock Android 2.2 launcher but then decided I would modify it to imitate the one found in Android 4.0. So that is what I am running.
My phone barely has any RAM so I hate using third party launchers, even with the force-into-memory tweak.
ADW Launcher EX, with Sense HD Theme

I agree with this guy, Go Launcher is pretty amazing and you can custom pretty much everything with the app.
Still rockin' the LauncherProPlus after 2 years. Never regret the purchase, still the fastest launcher i've seen.
i'm using the stock launcher that comes with ics 4.0.3, running smooth and stable
Go Launcher is the best

Active launcher, and i love ss launcher try that..
Did U tried nova launcher?

Moving to Q&A
Launcher Pro Plus - very fast and stable
on 2.3.6 i used launcherpro! It was pretty fast, however, the only problem was the folders weren't customizable and would freeze every once in a while.
I am on Eclipse 2.2 but am interested in upgrading to an ICS rom and see that they use different launchers. I have bought launcher pro plus and ADW EX, but am actually still using the "dead" launcher pro because it is still faster than ADW. I am very anal about speed and lag. Hopefully both ICS launchers are fast and I don't have to worry about performance? what are your thoughts on the ICS launchers? Performances and speed is my number one concern, and I am willing to pay. Thank you.

Also +1. Dunno why but always had some weird issues with Nova while Apex is indeed running smooth and have better options for me. I recommand you to go for Apex, wont be disappointed imo.
Apex all the way...its clean,simple and user friendly.
Apex is the best i won't change it ever
Apex all the way
They both have free versions in the play store. Try them both out and use the one to your liking. I am partial to Nova, myself.
try both, they both have free version on the market, for me nova is the choice...
Since I have ICS, I'm using Apex free launcher; It's very smooth and the best I've tried. When you try it, you'll hate other launchers.
Since Apex fixed the FC's a while ago I am very happy with it. All the settings and features available even in the free version are awesome. Swiping down to expand notifications is my favourite.
I like Nova
Nova for me. I started using it for the dock swiping when the Galaxy Nexus first came out. Now it looks like the Pro version of Apex has the same feature. Honestly, they are verging on the exact same feature set. Someone should put together a comparison chart.
I prefer Apex because the free version allows hiding of apps in the app drawer.

Thanks for all the input guys. Anymore thoughts on the speed and performance of both?

I was using Nova, but I switched to Apex as Nova was quite slow on my Desire. Apex is much smoother for me. They have pretty much the same features (I haven't noticed much difference although I haven't looked that far into either) I would give both a try and see which works best for you
Nova hands down, my friend is currently using it and I have to say its one of the best ICS launchers out there.
I'm quite impressed with Nova, but it might be that you need a fast processor to handle it, because it's incredibly smooth and responsive on my Galaxy Note.
I've tested them both, and Nova uses a lot more RAM resouces, so if you have an older phone definately Apex, and i think Apex is better in features too.
Hi guys just switched to go launcher ex (latest version) from original touchwiz on stock ics 4.0.4. It seems like it is consuming more battery on standby, i was wondering if others who use it notice that?
Also if i move go launcher app + theme to system, and integrate it into the rom, would that help in terms of consuming less battery? any tips?
Thanks
Yea, Go Launcher eats more battery.
Why don't you try Apex Launcher?
Go Launcher is very rich in features but consumes more battery due to that, because it uses more RAM.
Apex or Nova are very good indeed.

I have used go laucher ex before on my old htc and i am quite used to that. Does apex consume less battery? any other advantages of apex? thanks
Yes, it consume less battery, and Apex has many features:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.anddoes.launcher
AFAIK yes, it drains a little bit more battery.
I'm using Dorimanx kernel (usually battery friendly), but with go launcher was a professional battery drainer...
now I switched to the default JB launcher ... much better (in terms of battery):good:
That's odd I've found Go Launcher to be the most battery friendly.
When I tried Apex I felt the battery wasn't as good.
I guess like all battery questions, it comes down to how you use your phone.

I am using apex laucher pro now on my s2 and it seems to be good and better than go launcher in terms of battery. However apex does feel abit laggy at times plus it dont have much extras like go launcher. But i guess you cant get everything. Cheers for comments nevertheless. Btw do you keep your go launcher app as system app integrated in rom? Or just installed as normal?
Lets try nova launcher. Its very smooth and cool.
