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.
what do you guys think is the best home app? please tell me what you use and what you like from them
Wrong section, this belongs in Themes & Apps.
There are already too many threads on this, please use search next time.
So far the 2 favorites seem to be ADW and Launcher Pro, each has their pros and cons.
ah ok... sorry those are the ones im debating over...
I prefer Launcher Pro for it's speed and new widget skinning, but ADW is nice for dock customization and theming.
Depends on the person, really.
well i am using launcherpro right now not paid version and the only things that i would think of updating for would be resizing and the launcherpro widgets... but i looked at them right now and i dont think i will ever use any of those widgets
I use LP Sense UI.
Heavily modified LauncherPro Plus mod that looks and acts identical to Sense.

I've been using Zeam Launcher the past few days and am VERY pleased with it.
I just recently started using launcher 7. It's fast, stable and handles live wallpapers like a dream. Widgets even work. It's like a more customizable and functional wp7 ui. Ms should be made this is out lol the devs pooped on they're version.

Been using GO launcer recently really like it even tho I have launcher pro paid
Used to love Launcher Pro until I tried Go Launcher.
My vote goes for Go Launcher w/ Folder Organizer.
I have paid LP, Adw EX and tried SPB, Regina and Zeam. I really like ADW EX and it seems to use less memory compared to LP. My phone doesnt like Zeam at all, its a memory hog on my Epic. SPB was disappointing, it doesnt do anything better then adw or lp; same thing with Regina. Overall my favorite at the moment is Launcher Pro (paid), it seems slightly smoother animaton wise compared to adw.
GO launcher EX is my new choice because you can customize the home screens on the fly. You can add or delete screens and change the order easily. You cannot do this in Launcher pro. Go also has tabs in the app drawer which includes a task killer. IMHO it combines all the best features from both.
I liked the go launcher until it kept resetting my screens, and always setting them back up pissed me off...
Been on zeam for a while now, liking it a lot, no issues thus far
Edit: that was on my old epic though, perhaps my new one will play nicer
+1 on GO Launcher EX
Smoothest launcher, very customizeable and free.

After using Zeam, Launcher7, LauncherPro, and Adw...I'm going with ADW. Its fast, reliable and smooth. Sexy dockbar with is customizable as is everything else about it. Its my personal favorite.

1+ on ADW EX. Have tried alot others and it seems to be the perfect fit between the most stable,quick, and customizable in my opinion.

Either LauncherPro Plus or ADW EX. I paid for both and can't really decide so I use both of them

I had some similar issues with Go Launcher EX, but they updated it several weeks ago and it's been rock solid since.
I've got to give a huge +1 to Go Launcher for one reason - the app drawer customization. Has extra "tabs" for recent apps and running tasks, but most importantly it has the ability to create your own folders for organization. I've got folders for media apps (gallery, movie players, music players, etc), games, finance, and system tools. So much easier to find things and lets me keep my home screens clutter free.
LauncherPro, because their widgets are hard to beat. The facebook widget is better than anything else I could find, and now that they added custom skinning they are even better.
I start here a Poll for the Thread "Best Launcher for P500", if needed it can be merged with the original Thread.
I try to get all Launchers into the Poll i know of.
And after many Votes it may be be then a good help for new Users too.
I switch between Launcher Pro Plus and ADW Ex, and i have SPB 3D too but its somehow limited in my Eyes.

U forgot to add another.. SE Active Launcher...
And forgot also Panda Home / Panda Home 2.
Voted for LP+ and GO Launcher EX..
Edit: Add HelixLauncher, too.
You forgot to add one more: Gingerbread laucher. It is not much functional but some people (like me) like the stock Android look.
Voted for Launcher Pro and Launcher Pro Plus.
I voted for zeamlauncher. It works great, is fast and smooth

Am I the only one that cant seem to get go launcher running as smoothly as launcher pro plus? I really want to use it as a daily launcher but it just doesnt seem to as fluid :|

Works fine for me! Best launcher, most configurable.
Any screenshots of this 3D drawer?
I never have any issues with launchers but go launcher has never been fluid for me. This goes back to my samsung vibrant and the homescreens switch smooth but menu is choppy. I still use it everyday though lol.

I have tried most launchers, Go launcher Ex is the best in my opinion. I actually thought that touchwiz was based on it.
I think all laucher always decrease battery life!
So where's the download? Or is it inside the new GO launcher beta?
Honestly, I tried go launcher and it seemed good till all my widgets were in place. Launcherpro and adw ex are the only two that can handle my setup and remain completely smooth in performance. Eventually I found adw ex to be the better of the two, though it redraws more often than launcherpro did.

Used adw ex pro for long enough, then switched to launcher pro, i know the insides and outs of both, on go launcher now and not going back
Too slow for me. LPP or ADW are smoothest.
Go has improved significantly, but for my setup the widgets of launcher pro swings it for me.

Go Launcher EX 3D drawer is clearly faster than ADW EX 3D (transparent). LP still does not have transparent 3D drawer so cannot argue, but I'm sure it would be fastest. It's simply way smoother than any other launcher when it comes to extra desktop transitions and 3D drawer.
ADW EX would be my favorite launcher, but it constantly suffers from tiny lag when you have seven homescreens and stuff on most of them. It's not bad, but it always comes up enough to not feel super smooth.

Downloaded, plus installed all the widgets, tried it, now back with touchwiz, not for me, too much going on
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.
