On my other android devices there were hacks (scripts) renice (reprioritize) the stock Android launcher to make it more responsive.
Are there any tweaks for TouchWiz (HC 3.2) to make the launcher more responsive? e.g. stay in memory? It's kind of frustrating how when I hit the home button the launcher has to reload all the widgets and it takes 1-2 secs.
Thanks!
the only thing that helps to speed things up is a custom rom, Task650s Galaxy Task ROM for example.
Or using ADW Launcher Ex...

Just curious if there's a Launcher which is faster to load on CM5. It seems to take about 7 seconds to load as soon as I close any app, locking it in memory doesn't help. I don't care about the features of ADW, ideally I'd like the stock launcher from 2.1 with the Droid drawables. I tried a droid themed launcher from 2.0.1 but that didn't work, any suggestions?
Just tried out LauncherPro, loaded a few apps, press home and boom, no waiting
How it works the ADW launcher on the Galaxy S? Which is his interaction with the Samsung'sTouchWiz?
I explain better: if I use the ADW instead of touchwiz, the touchwiz process will be killed or remain in background? The system will be more reactive or I have 2 launcher that eat my resources instead of one?
Thank you for any answer
I go for Go Launcher EX
lacher ex has rly nice transition effects

Go Launcher Ex!
Launcher Pro is a bit faster from what i experienced but still Go Launcher offers the most, and most of all, for free. Go Dev Team got lots of awesome apps for Android.
I use:
Go Launcher Ex - HoneyComb theme + notification plugin
Go SMS Pro - with Emojicon plugin

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I have the same setup (minus the honeycomb theme), I used the wizmod theme
I prefer go launcher ex to launcher pro mainly because these two very similar in features and it's free.
Go launcher also has its own widgets, similar to launcher pro
can someone say what "launchers" really are?? I dont know anyting about them..
pretty much the user interface of your home screens and app drawer. look at images on for launcher pro and go launcher on the market, you'll see the differences.
As for my choice, definitely going with go launcher. I think the ONLY thing I miss about launcher pro was having the sense widgets, and being able to edit the dock bar which I''m surprised hasn't been done in go launcher yet
Go Launcher Ex uses more Ram, but it has an integrated taskmanager and some other nice features. I prefere it.
I've become pretty accustomed to launcher pro since i used to use it on my mt4g and now again since it was included with g-lite on my G2 but i have always been curious about go launcher... it looks like it has more customization options and features than launcher pro but i'm not sure and i don't necessarily feel like re doing all my launcher settings and stuff if go launcher sucks.
So does anyone use go launcher? Is it any better or different from launcher pro? Does it consume any more or less resources than launcher pro would probably be the biggest thing...
Thanks in advance.

theyre both pretty much the same now, launcher pro is still a bit ahead cause the widgets are kinda cooler
if you want less resources consumed and no lags at all use the stock launcher, it doesnt have customizations tho
You won't have to redo your Launcher Pro configuration/settings if you try Go Launcher. You can try/install as many launchers as you want. If you want to switch back to another launcher, you just need to clear defaults in Settings>Applications>Manage applications>(current launcher). Then press home, and pick the launcher that you want to switch to, and it will still be setup how you left it. Or use an app like Home Switcher for Foryo (works for Gingerbread, too). to make switching a bit faster.
It's can be use and all the same. With g-lite ROM i'm using GoLauncher, when i want i use Launcher7 - winphone7 launcher - with no problem
I remember i read somewhere that if you clear the launchers default it will ask you if you want to launch holo or the manufacturers overlay of android when you go home. Can i do that to my tab with ics?
Just the launcher? That doesn't work on every device, In fact, I think the only device that ever did it was the EVO 4G, mainly because HTC left the other launcher in there, which is uncommon. You can always install Trebuchet (not on Google Play), Apex Launcher or Nova Launcher. The three are based on the original 4.0 launcher. My personal favorite it Apex, it's the smoothest of them all and it feels like you're still using vanilla.
