What do you guys think ? I think Stock browser is slightly faster...

TW stock browser for sure! Much smoother then Chrome beta.
If you want the fastest browsing experience, not just page loads, you should check out and customize (to your liking) Boat Browser. Apart from customiseable menu's and side menus they have just incorporated gestures that you write directly on the page you are viewing. If you want a new tab write "N", close "C" and exit "e". Really well done!
IMO AOSP version is slightly better (i.e. tab management) than TW. Chrome worst because I don't like the don't and scrolling still isn't buttery.
Killer features Chrome lacks: dark theme at least, quick controls and full screen.
International S III 16GB @ 1.2GHz / Cyanogenmod 10.1 / Gokhan's SK
Try dolphin browser or AOSP browser. dolphin supports gesture too.
Ynt: TW4.1.2 Browser versus Chrome Beta
I've never used Stock Aosp browser. I wanna try it.
But what do you guys mean by Aosp browser, actually which one ? Cm10.1 browser ?

Chrome is just awful on Android. Aosp browser is amazing and the touchwiz browser is pretty good aswell

My Chrome experience on Nexus 4 with 4.2.1 OS is fantastic, much much better than the SIII + Chrome combo. Stock TW Browser is a bit faster, but more often than with Chrome some page elements are not rendered properly.

I hate the lag on the phone, sometimes it feels like my dell streak all over again! Go launcher seems to clear a lot of the lag out. I can't wait for an update.
Unless theres a kernel that can fix this lag now? Should I root?
uh, what new version? The latest I see is Feb. 29th.

Yes i ran go launcher on my skyrocket so i installed it on my note and it did indeed improve the lag but skyrocket is still smoother.

Instead of using the go launcher is there a way i can just use the same launcher that was on my nexus one? I liked it and it was faster on a less powerful phone.

You probably just want Zeam launcher. Its pretty close to stock Gingerbread and runs smooth on the Note. Alternatively, ADE Ex is also running great.

Another update for Go just came out this morning, I still have lag tho!!
Sent from my rooted Galaxy Note
I updated GoLauncher yesterday and it does seem a little less laggy. Still not as snappy as the Skyrocket. I noticed that if you change the scrolling speed under Screen Settings to 100 and decrease the elasticity to 0 it makes it much more responsive on the homescreen. BTW ADW launcher runs much faster IMO but the ICS theme doesn't look as good as with GoLauncher.
what phone did u use cus i cant get my ubdate for hd2
Sent from my HTC HD2 using xda premium
Yep still laggy. Nothing beats TW quite yet with this resolution.
Definitely not confirmed!
are all you guys running stock ROMs/Kernels?
I noticed that after flashing the overclock 1.9ghz kernel by Da_G + SauROM + V6 supercharger my go launcher is pretty smooth. I think the twLauncher may be SLIGHTLY better... but not much

Running on DaGs v2 at the moment. Any launcher besides TW is still laggy for me.

I'm running stock rooted from Mashi's exploit. I stayed with GoLauncher on an ICS theme. It's pretty smooth, less lag than stock TouchWiz. I noticed that newest version of ICS Launcher from the market (v1.4) is super laggy, but v1.2 is very smooth.
I had lag on all launchers until I rooted and got rid of all the bloat apps. Using go launcher now which is smoothest for me.

What lagg are you referring to? Mine lagged when I first got it but I quickly found that the "power saving mode" was causing the lagg. Without it turned on, smooth as silk.
Mine doesn't lag either. I found it to be quite the opposite...faster than my SGS2.

If you're not happy with twlauncher, why don't you just install another one? I used Go Launcher Ex for quite a while, much, much better than tw if you ask me
Nah Go launcher Ex has more features but uses ALOT more ram!
Bro TW does not use much ram and aint laggy on my device???
tw launcher was not heavy. if you use a launcher adw or go it will take a lot of ram

I beg to differ .
I love Touchwiz 4.0 , but I prefer TW to Sense , although it's good to see something new once in a while .
Unfortunately , we're stuck with 3.0 unless someone knows how to:
1) Remove the dependency of the lib on TW4 and mod it for ARMv6
2) Mod the Galaxy Ace to be ARMv7 compatible

Lags be based on small empty ram. If you use an automatic task killer, TW doesn't lag.
Advanced Task Killer is here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...sImNvbS5yZWNoaWxkLmFkdmFuY2VkdGFza2tpbGxlciJd
And i will recommend Go launcher, so it's very customizable and useful launcher I saw. And it's my favourite launcher with last update.

task killers are not good !!
they say that Android was designd to b ram intensive.....in android free ram is wasted ram ....android is developed enough to manage its apps and does a pretty good job by itself....task killers can be harmful( they say )
i have read this somewhere
Maybe it lags due to sudden wake from deep sleep? It doesnt lag normally.

Hey guys..
I was just wondering whats the BEST android launcher in your opinion?
My personal favorite is Zeam Launcher. I like its minimalistic look and its blazing fast too. It does not have any fancy features and it works great.
I also like Holo Launcher. I am still on Gingerbread so the Holo Launcher is a very appealing choice for me to try out because it is an ICS launcher. Holo Launcher works great and is one of my favorite. It has a lot of cool features but for some reason.. I keep finding myself going back to Zeam.
So guys... Whats your favorite android launcher?

Yeah.. A lot of people have told me to get Apex because its the "best" launcher for android if you have ICS. Unfortunately, I don't have ICS like most people. I hope to get a new phone though then I will be able to review ICS apps as well
If you like minimal and fast, try lightning launcher. I've been using it for months on all my devices now. It's great and let's you do loads of things that are just impossible on other launchers, like freely placing and rotating widgets and icons

Hey mate... I have actually tried this and I would agree with you that it is probaly the fastest launcher I have ever seen. However, it is not for everyone because their is only ONE home screen.
It may be fast but with only one home screen... its severely limited and putting apps on the home screen can sometimes screw up the grid. You just have to a little bit careful when you are placing or moving apps. Otherwise, its a great launcher.
Thanks for reminding me about this app mate...
Why does it look like your just promoting your review whenever you can? Besides, the best launcher question has been done a thousand times.

This would make a lot of sense because Go Launcher slows down your phone and if you have a higher end phone... it should be able to handle it fine. But still... Go Launcher is a battery whore.

Hmm... it seems like an impressive app but it seems more like a homescreen customizer. It is a also a whopping $16.80 in the Google Play store... hopefully its a typo but if its not... it seems awfully high for an app.
I have been recently wondering...
What's the fastest launcher?
Lightening Launcher is blazing fast but is there anything faster??
I have purchased tsf ui .. awesomely fast but take huge amount of ram. Nearly 45mb while others take 10-15mbs.

Its a quality app. We need to be willing to pay for quality apps if we want android to evolve more. That's just a couple of coffee drinks.
And 45mb is low for an eye candy app.

45 MB is the size of the app once installed?
Thats HUGE!!! ... I am on a Nexus One and thats like a 1/3 of all the space available on my phone.
Zeam is light, minimal and yet lots of customization, very good.
Apex is also great. Go Launcher is falling behind from my point of view in comparison.

Hi
I use go launcher ex i really like the effects but now i update to Jelly Bean 4.1.2 and i want to use the normal icons, is possible to only use go launcher effects? I did not find any similar theme
Enviado desde mi GT-I9100 usando Tapatalk
Not sure what you're going at but i dont think you can use Go launcher effects on Twlauncher
Are you talking about the themes or the transition animations? Go launcher has a huge number of themes, more so than any other, I believe. So getting a similar theme on another launcher may be difficult (not impossible)
If you mean animations, that's available on almost every launcher now. Try apex, nova launchers and see if they suit you. If not revert to go launcher. No harm done :thumbup:

For customization, go launcher pretty much beats anything out there....but....it is probably the most resource hungry launcher available. I used to use it on my old phone (galaxy W) and the amount of lag it caused was almost painful. Then i flashed a cusRom to it and started using trebuchet....much faster and smoother, but virtually no customization possible. I'm now using Apex...sort of half way between the 2 previous launchers....*some* customization and *virtually* no lag....Nova is at a similar level with Apex......

There are apps that allow for gesture control. Search the play store. As for transition effects, apex and nova have a few. Not as many as Go does, but c'est la vie. You can't have it all. Else if you can live with the (negligible) lag, stick with Go and find a way to skin it to look like the stock launcher.
