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'.

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.
Hello , i curious which launcher you are using if any ? and why ...
I tried Apex , Go HD .. I think apex its better
But stock is also nice
Nova 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....

+1 for ADW Launcher EX.
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.
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!

go launcher is laggy man
i use launcher pro as i think i purchased it for 10p ages ago and it allows me to shrink icons/ space etc so i can have more on my screen and more in the dock etc.
I still think apex or nova is superior,but 360 launcher is also nice and has some cool transitions
I bought Nova for nexus 7 and tried it on galaxy s3 and i must say I just missed touchwiz, I prefer touchwiz because of the elegant design, light and fastness

I'm really liking touchwizz myself. Never thought I would.
Samsung seems to have done something right with this version. I also tried pretty much every launcher there was. My favorite was apex until I got my GS3. but touchwizz just feels "right".

Same here. Would have been happily using the TW launcher if not for moving to CM ROMs.

I prefer whichever came with the ROM. I'm used to the CM's default trebuchet, and I've also used the TW launcher with minimal complaints.

Yes... when your launcher is so slow that it lags on a dual-core proc? Where is that uninstall button?
Apex launcher is the best. If your phone is rooted than you can use Titanium backup pro to convert the Apex Launcher apk to the SYSTEM APP and it will work perfectly fine and faster...
Try holo launcher hd plus its minimal and fast and absolutely no lag

360 launcher is indeed one of the best launcher I ever used, just so smooth but my gripe with it is the fact that it's not translated into English

Used since ICS Nova for my old S1 and for my new S3. Changed some weeks ago for TSF Shell.. Costs around ten bucks I think, but has several nice features (I love the folder option) and works flawlessy on S3 with livewallpaper. Doesn't suck so much battery as thought...
Personally I like the AOSP Launcher
The CM10 Trebuchet Launcher
Apex & Nova
As for TouchWizz the launcher isn't the problem, it's the ridiculous amount of crap that comes with it that slows down the device, well that and I can't move the Menu button to the middle like Stock Jelly Bean
But to be honest it's all down to personal taste, I prefer the Google Experience cause I use most of their apps, I have 0 time for the Samsung experience stuff. I mean seriously S-Voice over Google Now
For now i use Nova Prime. But from what little i have used TW in JB roms i will be using TW when official rom comes out.
But in the end it is all up to you!

Absolutely. The JB version is even nicer. This is the first version of TW I've actually preferred to use over third party launchers. It's really nice and very fast.
I use Apex and I'm very happy with it, no lag and nice features.
Look no further, might not be the most popular but is certainly one of,if not the best :good:

yes it's really annoying. I don't think it will be fixed.
I'm using stock, I would use Nova if the animations were less janky. Also I like the stock clock and health widgets which you can't use on Nova :/
I'm using the Rootless Pixel Launcher. Very smooth and, in my opinion, a much better fit to the screen of the P30 Pro
I use Nova. No animation problems here. I have also used Smart Launcher 5. It's good but still lacking in some areas. For a month or two I used Microsoft launcher and that worked fine.
Nova here too, have played about with the alpha version of Lawnchair 2 launcher and I like it a lot but would never switch from Nova
Nova launcher.
Has everything I need /want.
Action launcher here
Used Nova to begin with but I find the quick page on Action too handy to keep using Nova
Once emui10 hits I will try stock again.
Stock on 9.1 actually wasn't as terrible as the media and youtubers made out.

So am I, prefer it to Nova on a phone. Use Nova on my tablet.
Lawnchair.
Best Google-like experience IMO...
I use Microsoft Launcher, which I think is cool and very modern
I used OnePlus launcher when still on Android 9.
Unfortunately it doesn't work anymore with Emui 10.
So untill I get it working again using stock launcher.
Im on stock and its good for me. I try Nova, Action and Evie but stock work perfect for me

POCO Launcher is great and works just fine for me!
I think anyone who says they like the stock launcher hasn't used a third party launcher properly.

You know how to get the stock animations when going to the recent apps screen or when going to the home screen? All the launchers do it in such an ugly way...
