Give a try for Next launcher.
I used to use Go Launcher EX before. But after some times, I rather use the launcher comes with custom roms. Just simpler and neater.

Using such launchers consumes more ram... I use stock roms.... try to replace your home.apk with some other launcher. I like Xperia s home screen...

What you guys are saying is true onl for some launchers, and the one mentioned in this post certinly isn't famous for being light and fast and is probably one of he heaviest around. I made comparisons on actual data, with nova or apex installed as system apps i alwas get around 18-20mb of ram. xperia gx home i tried recently was shooting at around 25-28 which is about the same i got with go...Imo nova has best speed to options ratio available atm

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

Yeah, 2 years ago, when I was using it, Launcher Pro was one of the best launchers. But now, it is still the same because it has not been updated for 1 year.
Still with stock launcher after 3 years and 3 Xperias

Still like Xperia Home.. Simple but Beautiful launcher with sony widgets..
Yep sticking with the xperia stock launcher. It really is a nice looking one and I've tried others but always gone back to it.
Stock for sure! Love the theme, the distiction!

Stock Xperia!!:highfive:
Yeah, I love Xperia Home, too. It is probably the nicest launcher out there and it is also pretty fast with no lags.
In my view, Sony makes the most beautiful interface among all Android manufactures, while they keep the feel of the vanilla Android. Maybe their updates take a little bit longer but they are very well optimized and bring some additional features unlike Samsung, who keep the interface same and just update it to the newer version.
Xperia home. I think timescape ui wins

Sony is very original (design, ui, apps, Cosmic Flow, Floating Touch, White Magic etc.) and yet everything is absolutelly beautiful unlike Samsung, who copies almost everything from Apple (design, ui-touchwiz, s voice.....) and guess what....everything is ugly and worse. Sony also updated all of its 2011 phones, when tried to offer all of their features. Samsung offers new features only to their new Galaxy S series, when you have lower end phone and get update for GB to ICS it still looks the same. It is sad that they still hold most of the market, I wish Sony had more market share than Samsung because they try hard and they really deserve it.
Also what no one seems to notice but sony was the first to use the look of the notification draw icon in the middle with two apps either side of it. This interface was then adopted my google in the stock version of ICS and now other manufacturers have skinned their ICS skin to this look as well (HTC one series for example)
Is it just me or anyone else? I experience terrible lags in app drawer scrolling in all Apex/Nova/Go launchers. Trebuchet launcher is flawless without any lag. I dont know what could be the reason behind this despite the awesome hardware our phone has.
It happens for me in CM9 official and Stock ROM too.
Can anybody please give some input on this? Is there a solution at all?
I use Apex Launcher on mine and it's fine for speed. Tried a reinstall?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
Yes they are laggy as hell. GO Launcher was really fast but after last few updates app drawer is choppy.
But, there is a solution, find Cyanogen launcher, Trebuchet. I've used it on Cyanogenmod but now I'm using it on stock rom and it works flawless.
Typing from my phone so I'll provide links a bit later.
Cheers
Apex Launcher is working perfect for me

Either people cannot recognize choppy graphics or Sony made different versions of Xperia S for different markets.
It is choppy, even with a stock launcher (not always but it does happen) l.
The term "butter smooth" should be used by ones who actually have oportunity to compare it either to iOS or Nexus

Compared with a Galaxy Nexus (Had one).
I must say that running the .45 firmware and the beta version of apex launcher which is you can get from their site or download in the advanced menu of the app. The phone is running amazingly smooth. I think it's a combination of both but especially after the latest firmware that the phone is flying.

Novo and apex is smooth. Go launcher lags for a split second when opening app drawer

So is it just your app drawer scrolling? How is your home screen scrolling? How many pages of apps do you have?
It seems strange if you lag is just restricted to the app drawer

That actually leads me to believe that vendors like Sony have different versions of Xperia S for different markets. Which sucks.
What is the best launcher for jelly bean???
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda app-developers app
It depends on your own taste. Try typing launcher in Play Store.
I personally prefer HoloLauncher.
Wow, if you ask five people you might get five different answers. As eksasol said, it depends on what you like and what you want from your launcher. I've used holo HD, apex, TW, ADW, and of course trebuchet. I just started using holo, its real nice. Apex is a good launcher as well. My suggestion is test them and decide which works for you.
Paranoid, sitting in a deep sweat...
Yes its depend on your Taste personally i use trebuchet or Apex
Trebuchet on my S3 and Apex on my girlfriend's S2.
Nova with Nova Prime is my fav. It's the only one I use

Hi I've read on other threads that there is a new "Android JellyBean Launcher" but unfortunately I cannot find it. Do they mean the out of the box launcher?? If so I do not see what is the purpose...
Anyway if anyone has the answer
I found Xperia Home so fast, stable and it really looks great with some simple but amazing functions..
Nova launcher is the only one i use

Try Buzz launcher.

I am trying smart launcher now... give it a try.. u might like it.... light n simple interface ..
I'm using Holo HD right now, and I can say that its fast and much more customisable than Apex or Nova...... Trebuchet is too heavy on my ROM, takes up about 13 mb of precious space...

Apex for me was lighter than holo... is this a new release?? because 13mb is really a very small ram consumption (compared to trebuchet / shendu laucher etc etc)

I wasn't taliking abt ROm... I'm no fan of apps 2 SD, so I prefer internal memory. there trebuchet takes up 13 mb... Holo HD takes just 1 mb.

Try Action launcher. Covers are an amazing idea and a great way to have all your favorite widgets easily accessible with out clutter and taking up lots of space on your home screen.

Is there any way to decrease the RAM usage of the default launcher of xperia mini??
Do u use the official Facebook and Google Maps apps? If not, u can uninstall these two with root uninstaller (provided that u hav root access). These two eat a lot of the RAM

Decrease the number of widgets on your home screen.. and if u want a smoother launcher use apex launcher it's smoother than sony home and takes smaller size on ram.. Although I'm using sony home

Try to supercharge your device and make your launcher smoother, and lag-free
