[Q] Launcher questions...

I am trying to settle on a launcher to use with CM7. So far this is what I see.
ADW is nice but a bit laggy at times.
Zeam super fast but I cannot see how to change icons for apps.
Gingerbread launcher, can't customize the launcher or number of screens. 5 is default but I only need 3.
Thanks,
RA

Just tried Launcher Pro... pretty nice and VERY customizable. I am going to give it a few days and see if it can become my standard. Thanks for the tip. I saw a lot of people using it but REALLY wanted Zeam to work. Oh well, Android certainly does give plenty of choices.

Personally i am HUGE fan of AWDLauncher EX. I've used Zeam, LP and AWDEX and out of the three i like EX the best. Way more options than Launcher pro.

I really liked AWD but like I stated it was a bit laggy at times. I am finding launcher pro VERY smooth and also pretty configurable.

Thanks for the props. ADW is complete different than EX when it comes to speed.

Launcher pro and go launcher ex. They are the best. I switch between them frequntly because I love them so much I can't get enough of either one. Try out go launcher ex. You will be surprised.

No problems mate but to be honest why launcherpro beats adw its because launcherpro is very simple basic made not like adw too much useless tweaks if you want to try out spb mobile shell leave me a pm ill send you a vid that does a demo of the home launcher and step by step how to install the launcher

I lime adw ex. I have tried launcher pro(paid version) and it didn't seem as polished as adw. The transitions are far superior than in lp. They are smoother. I keep coming back to adw

I am using launcher pro and it works great. I love the facebook widget a lot.

Launcherpro paid version offers very smooth and sexy widgets that adw doesnt + you can resize any widget easily and as desired
Sent from my X10i using XDA App

Imho, adw has become too bloated with customizations and tweaks. Too many choices makes a headache for me. Launcher pro is a bit smoother, just as tweakable without as many settings, a bit more straight forward, and has nice htc-like widgets. I like the sliding dock with custom dock skins too compared to the pop-up dock bar in adw.

I rocked launcher pro for a while but wana give adw a chance .....u know change things up ........but launcher pro IMO is prob better .......

You can resize stuff with AWD.
And for one who doesn't use Facebook nor twitter launcher pro calendar widget is rather plain looking

What is the best Weather Widget

As the title states, any suggestions... or anything other than using beautiful widgets

I use fancy widget. Got it free from Amazon and been using it ever since on miui

Can you post any pics?

Try go weather, its free and quite nice
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App

Will do, I'm using the MeXdroid rom and for some reason it's touchy about widgets so I have pick and choose which ones work

Weather Bug paid version, got it free via Amazon a while back. It has the best Widgets IMHO.
Fancy Widgets is nice to but it uses up the most real estate.

Sense based customizable (adw-launcher pro) launcher

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.

I've seen and tried some of the things you pointed out. But I guess I'm really just trying to make use of my sense rom. I'm using launcher pro and I love it but not being able to you the weather widget has always bugged me.

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.

GO Weather maybe?

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)

Hopefully they release their Sense SDK soon like they said they would.

Palmary Weather Pro is very close. I think it's a buck or 2 in the market. I love it.

Best latest launcher?

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.

im sticking with my launcher pro plus

zeam launcher for me, the lowest memory usage among all others with almost all features present (only missing thing is scrollable widgets)

.........Bingo!

Just downloaded it! I was using launcher Pro and it was so slow! Amazon has a free Organizer app, today only, that goes well with Go Launcher. I'm glad I bought this xda forum apparently otherwise I wouldn't have found this

you got Go launcher? I've been wanting to try out other launchers, but launcher pro has all my home settings and everything is perfect so idk if i'd want to change unless if the launcher was just AMAZING.

ADW launcher serves me just fine.

Launcher suggestions

Hey anyone have some nice ones they know of with nice themes? I refuse to use go launcher because it has a cluttered menu. I want simple like stock but fast and smooth and themed like ics or sense 4.0

Adw has very nice ics themes

you can change the app drawer between vertical and horizontal, or 4D. you can also change the background.

The Xperia Home launcher found in this rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1675639
I was utterly amazed when I found this launcher on here.
I extracted it using Titanium Backup, Flashed MikG 3.11, installed Xperia Home and pushed to system apps.
This works very well in unison with the Car-O-Dope tweak as the launcher is quick and smooth to begin with.

I was looking for launchers like A month ago and someone recommended sslaincher and I have fell in love with it I use to be a go launcher Guy but sslaincher is the most customizable launcher you can pretty much make your home screens anyway you want them in any which way if you can imagine it you can do it

The Holo Launcher is very ICS.
