Thanks for the recommendation. I was using ADW Launcher for a while and then switched to Go Launcher and really like that one. I've never heard of Circle Launcher so I'll check it out.
I found it to be a little laggy too, and was looking for an alternative. Checked out the simi folder mentioned above and I like it a lot.
not a fan of circle launcher.
I dislike how the app is called "Circle Launcher" when it isn't actually a launcher. It basically just makes fancy folders (only using the resources of a widget), which for me, seems unnecessary.

Agreed....I use launcher pro plus, and the scrollable dock station allows me to accomplish the same taks...Only faster.

launcherpro plus
circle battery widget
minimalistic text widgets
launcherpro icons app
desktop visualizer
those are my mainstays for visual customizations. I also use the Minimal Magic theme with the theme chooser built into the CM7 roms.
I ended up using Adw ex, pure calendar, pure grid calendar, battstat pro, pure music player, fancy Widgets pro, SMS unread count, blue theme for cm7, and senses theme for cm7 and I'm pretty happy with it. I had beautiful Widgets before fancy Widgets but it seemed to have raped my battery so I switched

I gave it a trial run.. its kind of a memory hog and it also runs a little choppy but its not completely bad. Not sure how it will run if you're not overclocked.. it does look pretty good though. I ended up going back to Adw ex though

Good info, thanks.
First let me say I'm not rooted. With that out of the way, are there any home launchers that are optimized for this tegra 2 phone? I've used ADW, Launcher pro, and Go Launcher and all 3 of them ran slightly slower than just using the stock launcher.

Since dual core is so new there are no launchers or even many apps that make any use of the extra power

Unfortunately that's what I was afraid of. Has anyone had any success with a home launcher running fast and smoothly on a non rooted atrix?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
GO Launcher EX ran fast on my non-rooted Atrix. There are a lot of settings for GO Launcher and I just set all the transitions to the fastest settings and it ran fine. I didn't notice any lag at all. I'm rooted now and I'm still using GO Launcher EX.
In fact I'm using all their add-ons for SMS, Dialer, Weather, Score, etc and they all run pretty fast on the Atrix.

When you installed the launcher, did you remove all the widgets you had on the stock launcher? If you didn't, they'll still be there running even when you use a new launcher. Remove everything then add the new launcher and set it up the way you like. Should be a lot smoother.
Also, have you tried Zeam? It's fairly minimal but quick.

Or he could just freeze the stock launcher with titanium backup that works well.

Yeah, I went through all the usual proper steps. Just for kicks I just reinstalled go launcher a few hours ago. Within 1 hour it started freezing my phone causing my screen to either stutter or just go totally unresponsive. Going to go back to adw and see if it happens with that

Same here. It's the best option for Android phones.
Do you think the Fancy Widget clock widget might be a problem? I've read that it does some funky freezing to some people.

It's a strong possibility.
Since my Galaxy S, I've stopped using all running widgets.
Actually come to think of it, all my current icons are shortcuts which is probably why Launcher Pro runs as smooth as butter for me...

My LWP runs MUCH smoother after freezing all the recommended stuff I'm on GingerBlur 3.5 BTW
JUST ROOT!!
Running adw ex.. noo slow downs whatsoever
Xda app via atrix
+1 for zeam, I've been using it for months now and its very smooth. It is very minimal by comparison to most others though.... which is what I was looking for actually.
Im using go launcher and having no problems whatsoever... I also use fancy widget on my home screen.
Have also used both lpp and adw* both ran pretty good as well. I just prefer go launcher

Root, flash GladiAtrix 3, then use ADW Launcher or Launcher Pro. I use both. You will see a significant speed increase.
Hmmm I might bite the bullet and do that. What's the best root method for a bell canadian atrix?

Get to the french 2.1.1 sbf section and get to there... Its seriously fun
on a side note go launcher ex just got updated and there are some new app drawer animations that I like.
Sent from my Googletron
Ive used both Launcher Pro Plus and GO Launcher EX extensively, and GO Launcher EX has been the smoothest, fastest, best launcher.
I can vouch for the new update with the Icon Transition in the app drawer, its pretty slick. Good stuff here.. not sure how the GO team keeps this stuff free.
same as post above, golauncher is just as good if not better than lp plus, and its free. no brainer
I know there's an app that makes sub-categories that group Widgets based on the app they come from but I can't think of the name of it, the setup I'm looking for is found in the widget menu of cm7.
It's actually based on the Launcher you're using. CM7 uses ADW as its stock launcher, which includes that functionality.

I swear I remember seeing an app for it, I'm using ADW EX and mine aren't grouped and IIRC there isn't a setting for it....

I used launcherpro plus with cm7 and still had that functionality, so it might be deeper that that.
I too would like to know if there is an app for this because that feature is awesome!
Pretty much I'm asking. Is there a launcher that is like adw and launcher pro but is compatible with sense widgets.
I've been looking but not finding.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
There isn't one. Sense, including the widgets, is proprietary to HTC and they are very quick to sue when it comes to their property. There are some skins available that make use of the google apps, calendar and music, that work well with LauncherPro. I've used Pure Music Widget by francois Deslanders and it has a nice transparent 4x4 widget.
Sad face...
Hmm I see the issue. No one would wanna do that work for free. Thx for quick response.

Beautiful Widgets has almost the exact same weather/clock widget as HTC, plus hundred of others to choose from. Only problem I ever had with it is it gets my location wrong sometimes.
Thx I've looked into beautiful widgets but I'm talking about the full screen weather widget the one with the forcast.
The reason I was asking was mainly because of the resizing of widgets in these launchers.

Yeah it only has a 4x1 weather widget which kind of sucks. Launcher Pro does allow resizing but it just keeps the same 4x1 widget and enlarges it to about 4x2 and it doesn't look good.
Cool so I just got done trying out the go weather app. Its not bad but I only really like it because of the live wallpaper.
But for that same reason It's not what I'm looking for. I do appreciate the idea. Oh well still looking.
I guess what I'm really looking for is that sense 4x4 forcast widget on one of my launcher pro screens. (I know not possible lol)

What is the best latest launcher available? I'm tired of launcher pro and the other launchers.
For some reason I love my launcher7. It is simple and because I don't like horizontal scrolling.
Go launcher is really good and its free to. Alot of customization and there are some nice themes available. If you don't mind shelling out a few bucks awd launcher is nice to. There's also a free version of it out so you can give it a whirl. Try some and pick your fav.
