Launchers comparable to JB launcher? - Vibrant General

The JB launcher is quite smooth and fast and currently I haven't found any comparable launcher with more options, anyone have any ideas?
So far I've tried Go launcher EX, and 360Launcher, both great but lag.

Been using this on JB. Quite good.

I'm trying NOVA and APEX right now, does anyone remember what that one app is called which lets you move your homescreen layouts between launchers?

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.

Any new home launcher?

Is there any new fast launcher that looks good on the atrix lately?
I just got DarkSide rom but the launcher is so laggy.
I've used LauncherPro (not updated in a longtime) and Go Launcher (meh)
I need something new (and free)
Suggestions?

Zeam Launcher is probably the lightest but you loose a lot of functionality. There's also ADW.Launcher, QQLauncher, Launcher 7, and 360 Launcher which marko! suggested though I haven't tried it. I love Go Launcher but that's just me. Try out the other ones and see how you like them.
Been using GO launcher for about a month now, i love it. But there is always Adw....

Wish the lockscreen worked have to plug phone up to get it to come back on, but besides that its real smooth I wouold says smoothest I've seen and go launcher is super smooth but I think 360 takes the cake thanks for enlightenment on this launcher marko

Apex launcher is the most batter launcher on ICS stock rom?

Touchwiz is so boring. I want to change it.
Do you think Apex launcher is a good choice?
Thank you!
Better than Nova according to me
Inviato dal mio GT-N7000 con Tapatalk 2
Yes, its the most bAtter, you can even make cookies and cake from it
Don't know about stock ICS, but it's buttery smooth on CM9 and it has more juicy features than the other stock ICS based launchers.
Nova all the way for me.. Smooth and cube out transition is better. Apex one gives me headaches.

I think Apex is the best launcher i have ever tried, it's even better than the aosp ics launcher in terms of speed and stability.

You can't go wrong with either. I prefer Nova for it's stability and speed...way less drawer redraws than Apex. However, Apex has notification bubbles for your dock, ie Phone, SMS, etc. which I wish Nova had.

Try QuickPic. And to switch between scorllable portrait and fixed it is in the apex settings.
Apex used with minimal text app is amazing. Being able to add widgets to the dock is another great reason to use apex. It'll take a lot for me to change to a different launcher now.

TouchWiz FTW. I have tried Nova and Apex and ended up back on TW. Sammy have done a good job with their launcher and it's widgets and features.
I like Apex, It has a load of options and is easy to find themes for.... Paid version has a few extras as per normal and works well with JB. Devs seem to jump on any issues pretty quick too...

I completely agree with Kangburra. Stock Touchwiz is excellent.
BUT if you want to use another launcher, go for Apex Launcher. I've used Nova Launcher and I think Apex is much better. Just my opinion.
in terms of features : apex > nova > trebuchet > TW5 > stock android launcher
in terms of smoothness : stock android launcher > trebuchet > nova > TW5 > apex
my 2 cents
Apex
Nova Prime, hands down.
SS Launcher :thumbup:
Apex, Nova
I prefer Nova prime over Apex / TW.
But really looking forward to Action launcher's release. It looks promising.
"Best" <fill in the blank> threads are not allowed. It's subjective and what is personally the best for one person sucks for the other.

Which launcher do you prefer and why?

Title says it all. I am currently using Apex, but have wondered about Nova, Trebuchet etc...
Is there much of a difference between them? Also, if you select 'always' when asked which launcher to use (if you have more than one loaded) is there anyway to reverse that to use a different one?
BTW, I am using TWA_privs latest (0223) ROM and its unbelievably good...
Thanks....
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
I use the stock CM10.1 launcher. Trebuchet, I like the layout and settings for it. And t change launchers, go to setting an find the launcher you currently use user apps. And click clear defualts
For CM7 I prefer ADW EX and for 4.x.x+, I prefer Trebuchet I try to avoid launchers that will show up in the running category under Settings- Apps like Go Launcher and the newest ADW. The less running processes the better IS MY OPINION because the Kindle's limited memory.
I have grown to love Trebuchet because it usually is included as the stock launcher for JB ROMs. The reason I like ADW EX for CM7 is because ADW was included on the CM7 ROMs and one day I wanted to try the EX version of it and it was quite nice with the density hack to make the icons appear bigger.

I use holo launcher hd. It looks and acts a lot like apex and trebuchet, but has HD in the name (so its gotta be good!).
Try chameleon launcher..u would not come back to apex or trebuchet pr anything..and spb shell 3d is also a great launcher..very smooth..keep in mind that chameleon launcher is landscape only..

Chameleon Launcher is a good concept, but it never quite caught on. At first they released it for $12 in the play store. I got it and it need a lot of work it was still betas. I got a refund and haven't tried it since. I was reading reviews and it still is not up to par, with little actual customization and limited widgets. Makes it almost seem like ios
