[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

+1 for launcher pro. been using it for over a year now on all my devices. it does lag on the nook color.

How do you get launcher widgets on another Launcher?

I was curious I really like Go launcher ex but I like the launcher pro widgets I paid for more then the ones go launcher offers.Once I go to Go launcher ex as my home screen the launcher pro widgets section disappears and visa-versa
Or even if I was to have the launcher pro widgets on Touch wiz.
Can it be done and how do I do it?
Thanks.

Thanks, I use GO launcher EX atm because its so easy to customise

For me, ADW Launcher ex is the best, because thre's a lot of themes and i feel it good !

Yeah ADW is nice, and the ROM your using is same as me so great choice ;P

The only time I used it was the version you made, due to that bottom bar being way too oversized and hideous imo..
I didn't like the lack of any customization though so it didn't last long.

love ADW Laucher :x

GO Launcher EX with Suave theme. Simply beautiful. The wallpaper scroll/no-scroll option renders Wallpaper Wizardrii obsolete.

[Q] Home replacements

Is there a home replacement that changes screens something barrel it's a tweak I have in my Jailbroken ipod. I only used Adw Ex and they have some nice screen transitions but I really would like 1 like this 1 here is a quick video I did http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4G3Glr7N9I&context=C20041ADOEgsToPDskL31SraD6vwN-6Zx0xfxmga

I been seeing a lot of people talking about Launcher pro I am waiting for Miui to get updated then I'll be going back. I will have to give it Laucher pro a try 1 more question does this Launcher have the swipe up and down gestured like Adw

I use launcher pro plus and nothing else it is the best

I decided to give go launcher a try I like a couple of there themes and they have some nice screen transitions even 1 for going into the App drawer plus it's free

Launchers Review [12/2011]

Well after a long time trying lots of different browser, I'm back to the good old ADW EX (1.3.3.56 as of now). But I'll state here some experiences I've had during the process, as I believe I've tried some browsers not many have known of:
_ Launcher Pro: once the best launcher out there, for its smooth performance and rich settings. Comes with a set of useful widgets like facebook, twitter, sms,... (gmail is broken as of now). But hasn't been updated for a long time, so it's somehow outdated in comparison to other ones.
_ GO Launcher EX: one of the most popular right now, with almost everything you've ever wanted: the smoothness, support for many cool themes, widgets, even a lockscreen (GO Lockscreen),... But somehow the performance is therefore reduced, I personally find it not as smooth as ADW and Launcher Pro (especially in the app drawer).
_ Zeam Launcher: like Launcher Pro, it's popular from the good old days, mostly for the minimalist feeling. No fancy stuff, just basic functions but the performance is solid. Unlike Launcher Pro, it's still often updated.
_ Tencent Desktop / MIUI Mod: A new feeling with eye-candy graphics, but the smoothness is nowhere near Launcher Pro or ADW EX's level, not even close to GO EX. Nice set of widgets and icons also.
_ Espier Launcher: Another aproach, this time with iPhone-ish feeling. It has the iPhone icon effect, the homescreen is now filled with apps and no more widgets. It's up to users to decide if they like that or not. The performance is pretty solid also.
_ MX Home: pretty much like the other basic ones, but with an innovative app drawer with useful function, categories,... It also has a theme page (think of it as another page on the homescreen, farmost to the left, that can be changed with themes and is nice looking.
_ Hi Launcher: the successor to the Panda Launcher, it introduces a new layout of homescreen: widgets on top and apps in the bottom (swiping up and down maximizes the corresponding area). The smoothness is quite good, and it also has a lockscreen app and theming engine. The icons are a little small for me, and I didn't see any option to change that.
_ Regina and SPB Shell 3D: Both are 3D-oriented launcher, each with its own eye-candy effects, but for me that's too costly for the rather slow performance (on my phone).
And finally, the good old ADW Launcher EX: it's been on the market for about as long as Launcher Pro and GO EX, and also offer a nice set of features (theming, etc). The smoothness, for me, is top notch (with the right settings of course), and overall performance is very good.

Cool but you forget a lots of interesting launchers like QQ Launcher Pro or Claystone IMHO, Launcher Pro is the smoothest launcher ever!

I tried QQ and find it not much different from Tencent, maybe it's just me . Oh and feel free to share your experiences on other launchers too

Have you forgotten about CC Launcher, it's like Regina and QQ Launcher, rather sluggish in performance but stylish, also a quite frequent one of mine is Xperia Arc Launcher w/ 4 corners, I wish it had settings, this is not to be confused with the dock back version

Just tried the CC Launcher and it's like what you said. Thanks for the info . Guess I'm back to ADW EX again.

I wish there was a launcher that was totally user customizable, make your own theme instead of using premade
