I've never used helix, but I'm one of the few that likes touchwiz quite alot
I use ADW on my mytouch3g and touchwiz on my vibrant, though I will say that I purchased the paid version of launcher pro as well and I generaly recomend launcher pro to new users as it is very simple to use.
i also love touchwiz but the devs doesn't support it.

Well I was going to try it out but I didn't see it as an option on the market. I'm running Froyo for what it's worth.
There is no perfect launcher imo, I would like launcher pro's home screen functionality with TW's horizontal tray. ADW doesn't cut it.

ADW actually has more homescreen options than launcher pro (it just doesent have the widgets that the paid version of LP has) and it has the horizontal drawer as an option, if thats what you wanted. you can also find equivilent widgets on the market to those of LP. the only features I've found that LP has that ADW does not is the ability to change the dockbar image and the 3d app drawer.
The newsest version of ADW is really pretty nice
although I will say that ADW is meant to be tweaked and customized, it has tons of options to play with, where Launcher Pro is set up pretty nicely as it is.
Show me how to have a scrolling dockbar, and use your own images in the dockbar of adw in the settings. Not to mention showing adw run as smooth as lp.

Launcher Pro is definitely the most functional and customizable launcher out right now...and it's going to get even better when the new code is finished.

That's why i don't use the ADW. It looks nice if you know how to customize, unfortunately i don't.

It would be perfect if he just added the horizontal tray as an option. I love options...
Tw vs Helix = i pick Tw
i personally use launcherpro.. but i still keep the TWlauncher as an option to switch back to from time to time
I Installed Go Launcher EX on my SE wt19i over the stock (SE) launcher....and since then my ginger(GO)bread experience has become much more smooth, fast nd exciting...do giv it a try...the best launcher available for mdpi devices...nd the best thing is that it has a lot of additional apps nd widgets which makes android experience ever more beautiful...it's also free to d/l from Google Playstore..!!!
Stock is better IMO.
Sent from my WT19i using XDA
Stock much better.i love 4 corners SE defualt
Go, in my opinion, is much better. You can't have folders in app drawer in stock launcher. In stock homescreen you can have 16 icons distributed in 4 corners... you can have the same number of icons in the dock if agruped by folders, which takes less space than the 4 corners.
Launchers are basically a matter of opinion.
In the stock launcher you can have, 4 corners x 4 folders x 4 icons = 64 icons. I actually hardly install more than 10 apps on my phone so i couldnt care less I just want it to be clean, and fast.

Wrong. If you put folder onto corner, it will just go away.
I personally like the smoothness and Sony Ericsson touch of the default launcher.
Lol you're too late to discovered GO launcher
Everyone is actually using it.
Yeah I love go launcher and replacing my stock launcher with that launcher. But imo, stock launcher is much smoother

i tried couple of launchers including the go launcher but, i do realy like the stock cause it's much smoother to use.
Only one thing I've still used stock launcher is "Walkman Widget". :\

Totally agree with that..!! nd the same is for me...not more dan 8-12 apps...
other launcher is good, but some stock widget cannot applied, also other launcher eats a lot of RAM,
so, stock xperia home is much better for smoothness and battery life.
sent from my Walkman
I personally have been using stock launcher always, with a dock and not corners. Why? Because I like it and it is enough for me. Other launchers have lots of functions, but I don't need to those. On my home screen, I just have Beautiful Widgets 4x2 widget and most used apps I have placed on homescreen.
Also, I have noticed higher RAM usage from other launchers(Go, ADW, LauncherPro, some more), smoothness has always been the same for me.
I think Go Launcher is better than stock, but that's only my opinion. It's pretty much customizable and stuff. But I would like to use stock launcher only if the app drawer can be changed to vertical continuous (option you can use with Go Launcher) and the automatic orientation (app drawer) is there a way to change that? I have Arc Launcher instead of the 4 courner that Live has, because I think it looks nicer.
Maybe someone can recommend apps that can put folders in the app drawer or change app drawer orientation, many things you can do without using go launcher maybe i change to stock, but i really like go, i have been using a lot of time and its great.
With launcherpro phone works best.

Stock much better
I find this widget selection screen clumsy and ugly in Touchwiz, it's much better in GolacherEX and other launchers.
Anyone know how to make it display widgets list alike, like it was before?

long press home screen, select widgets from menu....job done
Thats exactly how widgets look when i do that, this was like this on SGS3Touchwiz, Galaxy S2 had this list alike widget list, also had mod that same widgets were grouped together.

If you need stock TW launcher then I think you need to get used to it. This is how stock ICS launcher handles widgets and apparantly sammy didn't bother changing it.. But I kinda like it.
Lots of things sammy dont think, they should have listen the users more. Nova is ok, Golauncher seems better, but i stick with stock till someone makes new hacked version of this touchwiz.
I really like how stock launcher change pages, havent seen so cool looking on any launchers even they have more options to change it.

I do like TW launcher but what bugs me a lot is the way TW launcher create folder. Samsung choose to use ICS style on the widgets but decided not to use ICS style on adding folder. Doesn't make any sense. :banghead:

Maybe use apex launcher and then choose touchwiz theme as design? Dunno if that fits all your needs though
I use sslauncher and hitting the menu key gives the traditional.Samsung options, like settings / wallpaper and long press the screen gives options for Widgets etc.

Just use Apex or ADW (New version kicks ass)..
Hide the docks, use multiple screens and have it place an icon on the desktop for new applications.
Be like iOS but with widgets.. Ain't seen anything with no app drawer really.. Those Windows launchers maybe?

Dude, seriously, if you don't want to move your finger a few times at initial setup and keep replying "I want this ONLY", do it yourself.
You've been offered a bunch of alternatives that will behave just the way you want, except that they'll need 5 minutes of your time to set up.
Lightening Launcher
Taken a look at Lightening Launcher?
Buy an iPhone?
Is there a launcher that looks like this?
Just curious if people prefer stock or a replacement launcher?

Nova.
I used ROM Cleaner to remove the sense launcher.
Ha I was also wondering this. Was just about to ask and saw this thread. I was wanting to make a sleek simple homescreen and someone said I couldn't change icons with stock launcher.
How easy is it to switch back and forth between launchers?
As easy as installing from the play store and running it.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
But would it keep all the settings. Like could you set up two different launchers and have them set the way you want. Then just feel like going to a different look one day just because you feel like it lol.
Yes. A launcher is just an app like any other app. Settings get saved.
Nova, have used it since I got my Galaxy S2. Love it easy backup/restore change icons individually, and more!
Just installed Nova Launcher and gotta say its pretty cool. Here's what I created. Just two questions. Can nova launcher make the status bar clear? And I used simple text to change icons on the dock but it has black background behind the words. Can I make that clear somehow.
I use apex launcher and as nova
It's amazing, I had no trouble changing plenty of phones while keeping my layout

Action Launcher - allows minimalist approach, very fast to select apps. And Blink Feed app from appstore switches back into sense launcher so I can go back and forth.
Apex
This may be the perfect place to post this:
Does anyone know of a launcher (or can creat one) that is JUST the Sense 5 app drawer?
i.e: unlock your phone, and hit the app drawer button: THAT is ALL I want to see.

I've always liked the stock launchers over Nova, Apex, etc. Although I did enjoy them on CM roms on the One X when I had it. Usually I'm not a fan of stock Android. I've always much preferred the manufacturer skins.
