I want to know what the best launcher is in terms of uniqueness and not just speed. I want a launcher that is different from other launchers and has actually been well thought out. Thank you.
Personal favourite
I quite like Launcher Pro - lots of icon packs and easy to customise! Can be as simple or as complex as you want it to be. Only issue is that it hasn't been updated for a while
If you want custom themes without having to pay for Launcher Pro Plus, then try GoLauncher - not a personal favourite of mine but is again very customisable and does pack in a few unique features.
I used to use Zedge for pure speed, but it was a bit limited customisation-wise and I overclocked my phone, so I didn't need a really fast launcher any more
i tryed many launchers...but Launcher Pro is the best choice for me...so i stick with it a long time now
deff Launcher Pro You can do what ever you want
<Mod Edit> External link!
i like launcher pro & go launcher too
I use Launcher Pro too... even I uninstall/erase other launchers.

Yes. I had also tried it. not very good. Instead ended up using Go Launcher Ex with ICS theme.
I just got ADW Launcher EX the other day from the 10c app promotions per day google is doing and i'm loving it so far.. lots of new features compared to the free version
Might be a good idea for people to keep watch incase it goes up for 10c again.. few days left of apps
Try this 360 launcher. Link:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1345601 pretty smooth, not bad so far.

Yea 360 launcher is awesome. Just never have seen these app drawer animations in any other launcher. very nice and very smooth. And the themes are good looking too
Edit: I just noticed that there is a lockscreen setting in its preferences using which we can have a variety of lockscreens too. And there are lockscreens available for download within the app itself.
This is f**king awesome
Only 3 lockscreens are available. But all 3 are good especially The iPhone lock screen and ics lock screen are looking great
Nemus
I use Nemus Launcher. It's fast and does what I need
Hi all
just wondering whats the best launcher for you? I just formatted my phone and i used to use Go launcher EX ..i tried many others like Launcher 7 , Launcher pro , Nemu , and MX ..but still all those is pretty weak compared to EX ..so heres my review / thoughts over those launchers
1. Launcher Pro - it's a good launcher easily , smooth , responsive ,lightweight and stable doesn't have much problems but it feels a little basic for me .
used for about a month or so
2.Nemu -Oddly thou when i first use this launcher what surprises me is the smoothness , its very very smooth and the folders are very unique , the app drawer is also pretty basic but it's beautiful still i hardly use folders so its not my cup of tea
used about 2 days =P
3.Launcher 7 - Beautiful and sexy launcher , looks like a Rom than a launcher , mimics WP 7 nearly perfectly and all looks great , smooth and stable but theres one big problem ...it has very very few to no widgets and adding apps to homescreen is ugly (its very blur ) ..sadly , but if you not into widgets this is perfect for you !
4.MX- feels like a weaker version of ex but well weirdly thou its the launcher i am currently using ..it feels sleek and fast , the app drawer is basic but its also beautiful and most of all it has a clock at the end of the screen ! feels faster then EX tho ...
5.Go launcher EX - IMO the perfect launcher , resizable widgets , touch sensors ( scroll up to launch etc .) , build in task manager , tons of extra and useful widgets , tons of themes and easy to apply , feels natural and good scrollable extra bottom page ..man it's a excellent launcher , it's a little lag sometimes but it's still great ..use it for about 4months changing to MX for something new got a little bored of it =)
conclusion : EX is the best but imma chaging to something new for a change
so whats your opinion of the best launcher?
-SPB shell 3D; stylish,very good UI,but use more ram and the price (i think ) 2 expensive
-netfront life v2 ; this launcher very different in style & UI.
i love it,but not smooth like other..
-HeLauncher2: small size,,only change dock,but smooth,i use this launcher
-panda series.. ; ?
go launcher ex best launcher for me more customisable then any launcher out there
Sent from planet mars
Go Launcher Ex is the best -I tried so many launchers and Go Launcher Ex is customisable and smooth at the same time. Stick with it dude
Strange, go Launcher Ex was the most heavy and with the most terrible themes I ever saw. Using ADW launcher EX.
Man Mx kinda sucks...i think i going back to EX =(
IMO,
I can never stick with one launcher for a long time. I switch around. Maybe, GOL EX for a week or 2 then Active and maybe LP. And so on....
I just can't stick with a certain launcher! Also, for those users WHO use go launcher, check out my friend "Quinny898". He has a MIUI Theme for GO launcher!

hmm i think i gonna use launcher 7 for a few more days ...it really looks good ..just a question does anyone know how to add folders ?and still does anyone know how to add widgets and apps to screen properly? it really looks odd when i click pin to screen
Active Launcher (ICS Mod)
My favorite so far.

why noone is saying launcher 7?? its quite good...unique and it's smoother than go launcher ..but no widget..but still it's sexy..
Using Launcher pro!
The App drawer i like.
Some custom icons...
if u love go launcher pro then you must love EX =)
I dont get it..Adw launcher or Ex launcher..which is newer!
think is EX
I'm currently using launcher pro.
I think that adw launcher is very customizable but very laggy and ugly. "GO" is the launcher i used before "pro".

I find Zeam launcher to be almost as fast as LauncherPro which I also like on the x8.
Try it, efficient on memory of both kinds.
LauncherPro is the best launcher and its clean

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:

Nova launcher sooo much better
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2
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......

Everyone has their own opinion on launchers. Try them, find one that you like and will be happy with.
I myself use GO EX also (I froze TW). I'm happy with this one.

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.

Hi, I am really, really interested in this phone. However, I am somewhat put off by the non standard software. Has anyone changed the launcher to a more standard one? Is operation compromised on anyway if you use Google Now launcher for example?
That was the first thing I did. But I use Nova or Erie. Works great!
For reviewing purposes i always use the standard software/launcher the first week. I'm still not a fan, altho it's getting better every phone they make.
Using Nova for a few days now and works flawlessly.
But any launcher that is android 8.0 oreo compatible, will work (so almost all launcher)
I used Apex launcher and it is great with lots of very nice features

I installed Nova, but the flashlight (Torch) is not working no more. Do you have the same problem?

Yes I have the same problem with Nova Launcher. I get a "Permission Denied" message when I try to open the Torch app and also get a "App not installed" when I try to add the Screen Lock widget to the homescreen.
I'm on BLA-L29 8.0.0.119 (C636)
I use TSF Shell 3d.... It is really good with tons of unique features...
I love Evie, very light, very responsive and enough features.
I'm using nova too and yes it's a bit buggy at the moment. I've the issue with the torch app, but it seems that it works ok from the notification center.
About other stuff:
I hate the fact that there is no animation when you push on the Google search bar. I had to remove it from the home because any time i clicked on it i felt like i was going to puke. Furthermore, if you want to enable the google feed page, you have to download the google companion apk from the web.
All in all it works, but I'm a bit worried that the switch from the standard launcher can block out some of the huawei AI features.
huawei's launcher is not bad at all. It is really smooth, and of course being it tailored on the device in the first place, it's totally bug free and it's the one that best matches the rest of the system. The problem is that it doesn't allow you to customize much stuff. For example applying play store icon packs it's a total mess, and the default icons are totally, completely, absolutely ****. You can just try to sort out something from the huawei theme app, but at the moment the themes sold there are not even worth a download. I switched to android because i wanted to try the "customize" experience and if I'm not having it, i get nervous.

Because I don't like stock launcher cause it tries to mimic iOS I use Nova with no crashes or anything else, you can use also pixel launcher with custom icons applied with Huawei themes from playstore.

You can change this and switch to app drawer mode for the same stock launcher
Yeah I know but the look of the icons is the same iOS style.

You can different icon pack from theme store or emui theme factory
This is my Launcher, Evie, with Amphetamine icons pack. The only things that don't change are the Set tin and notification drop down.

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...
