Wats a good launcher - EVO Shift 4G General

I was wondering wats a good launcher for the shift I have been trying a few out and I like a few features in the ones I have tried and wish I could just combine the features I like all into one. And if anybody has tried how can I get the netfront life screen to work on my rooted phone it just acts like its going to open then closes and never loads thanks in advance

Good launchers to try are:
1. Launcherpro, lots of good feature
2. Adw launcher, free and lots of good features, even more for paid version
3. Go launcher ex, somewhere inbetween launcherpro and adw pro. And completly free
4. Nemus launcher, a interesting very fast and stable launcher
5. Claystone launcher, has a lot of odd, yet good features, just try it
And as for netfront, beyond just being rooted, what rom are you running?

ADW or Launcher 7

ADW Launcher! Or Zeam Launcher if you like slim.
Launcher 7 if you like the seven+ project

Launcher pro all the way!

what features did you like in all the launchers you've used? For the longest, I used ADW. Lot's of options and feature rich. Launcher pro is great but I preferred ADW's dockbar. Zeam is also great bec. it's simple and very minimal...

The one thing I missed from Sense was the different scenes. Instead, I use the Launcher Pro for work/home. I use ADW launcher for running/biking. I use homeswitcher to go back and forth. Also will occasionally switch to slidescreen and netfront from when out at night.

I like adw and launcher pros customization and go launchers themes and certain customization features and regina launcher is great just needs sum more customization I really love the workspaces and I'm trying to try netfront but I just can't get it to load which is really annoying me but I'm lookin for sumthing with all the customization so I can make it my own and not look so plain. Or maybe I'm asking for too much lol

I tried installing it, worked fine, but I thought it was kinda ****ty compared to SPB so I deleted it right away. Check out my screenshots. SPB is the best, most polished hands down. Just needs some customizability to come it's way

Not at all. Both are available on the market. Just look up launcher pro but when searching for adw use "ADW.Launcher", otherwise you will have to sift throught the seemingly endless ammount of themes for ADW

launcher pro all the way, anyone know where i could find some good icon packs for launcher pro? thanks.
got tired of the constant FC with LauncherPro Plus...uninstalled yet again and back to ADWLauncher
Looks like I'll be the odd man and say that I use the stock launcher. And I'm coming from using LauncherPro for two and a half weeks. Had a couple black screen issues and while that wasn't the reason why I switched back to stock, I wanted that stock feeling again. You can never go wrong with stock launcher.
And I can tell the same story with the web browser. I eventually came back to the stock browser after using Dolphin HD for a few weeks.

I've used both and I prefer to use LauncherPro Plus because I like to customize my phone a lot. I like the fact that you can adjust the size of widgets, customize icons on the dock, and the home button (which is customizable) when on the home screen shows you different desktops (reminds me of my Macbook). The last one I'm not sure if stock does or not.

I would use Launcher pro but the app drawer doesn't look as nice and work as smooth as stock launcher. It's somewhat smooth with overclock and no live wallpaper but with them it's a bit jumpy.
ADW.Launcher. Once LP gets a swipe gesture by which I can pull down the notification bar by swiping down anywhere on the screen, I might switch to that for its widget. Oh and I like the Galaxy S implementation of the app drawer option in ADW as well.
I might bathe only liner still using stock, but I luv it

The screens rename themselves according to the majority application type you place on them. >50% games will rename to entertainment for example. Hell, saves me some typing.

Go launcher lagging.

So I've been using cm9 for like 2 weeks along with go launcher. And I always noticed it being slow and always lagging and not smooth at all. So today I went back to thunderhawk and was amazed of how quick it was and was just amazed by it until I restored go launcher and I ended up with the same performance as I had on cm9 or even worseee. So I uninstalled it and wiped cache and dalvic and did a fresh install off the market and started to customize it and noticed that the more settings I change and the more apps I add to the homescreen the worse and worse it became.
I really don't even have all that much things. Just 3 pages, 3 widgets, 4 apps, and 4 bookmark shortcuts. And with only those it is very slow.
So I'm using tw launcher now and the whole ROM is amazing now.
Anyone notice this with go launcher? Anyone know any similar launcher that doesn't lag? What I'm looking for is the ability to custom choose icons from gallery, a scrollable dock, and some cool transition animations for homescreens + app drawer.
I know some may have these like adw launcher and launcher pro but I wanna see what you guys think is the best out of them all cuz I know there is some that I don't even know about.

Nova is "very" customizable and does support custom icons. Nova and Apex are right on the same level, and are both worth purchasing the licensed features. On Apex I randomly get lag in the app drawer, though. So I have since stuck with Nova since it's been flawless for me.

What's funny is do you remember ADW vs LauncherPro?
Well Apex is the same guy who made LauncherPro.
But i actually like NOVA better customization and barely any lag whatsoever.
With any lag issues that i have its because i'm using conservative for the cpu governor instead of OnDemand.
But both are very great and as well worth the money.
Forgot to mention that I am currently on a tw ROM so I need a launcher for tw until I go back to cm9 lol.

ADW will be your go to launcher then. Only other good one for Touchwiz. At least customization wise.

Ya I just tried out both adw and launcher pro and both don't seem as updated as go launcher was lol. I may just go back to an ics rom and try out nova or apex. I just really need more blue in my phone lol the icons don't look right if there not bluee lol.

Holo is slightly more updated for GB devices. It works for GB, ICS, and Jellybean. Icons can be changed. Small footprint is why I switched. Go doesn't work as well for our phones as it does newer models, which it runs lag free... even tho it 'sends your data to china'... Then I hope Chow Lung doesn't call my sister...

yes it is because a lot of the people who have reviewed it and know him actually said that it was him and he just changed the name of the org/app group who made the Apex one.

Why would he just abandon LauncherPro without notice?

Do you know if he plans on having widgets and custom icon support like Launcher Pro did?
