Inefficient design; don't use it. To be honest, most Go Team apps are poorly programmed. I'd avoid them whenever possible.

Yea I guess your right, I decided to try something new and people praised go launcher Ex so I finally tried it and it uses way more ram than nova, I bet it'll drain my battery as well

As stated above. Avoid all go apps.

If you root your phone you can remove bloatware like Sprint nav, Sprint tv, Sprint zone, some of the HTC things like news stocks I mean you can do a whole lot once rooted

There are apps to control start up apps too once you root.

Alright well I just rooted my phone, do you suggest any apps to control the start ups?
Startup cleaner 2.0 looks well..but there aren't many apps that delay starting..so if you want to look into it go ahead but the difference wouldn't be enormous

TO CHEFS: Launcher Suggestion for your ROMs

To all the Chefs out there that are cooking up these delicious ROMs we are so blessed with everyday. We know that most of you use LauncherPro for your ROMs. Last month I was using a launcher called GO Launcher. It is free, includes options that only the paid LauncherPro Plus includes. It is stable and has a very active dev team that is really passionate about perfecting their launcher. Just a suggestion. Check it out and see if it something you prefer. Think it would be neat to see it in some ROMs.
Go launcher is old news but its a good advice however this is the wrong section this needs to.go in general

Too many add onns too much memory and space. My view is no. good program way to big and resource hog. Go sms is huge resource hog

Go launcher isnt old news cause it's one of the newest out there LOL It's smoother, faster and better than Launcher Pro and best of all it's free! With Go SMS and Go contacts and themes that match all 3 you cant go wrong with Go

I like go sms, but not go launcher. I prefer adw launcher. I like the hidden dock bar.

Just cause you like go launcher it don't mean we do. If you don't like launcher pro install go launcher from the market.

i think it was the urban fury or the nova roms that were using go launcher for some time, and honestly, kinda slow. rob's midnight is super fast with launcher pro as well as ACS's roms with launcher pro.
Why don't u make your own Tom using go launcher? Then u don't have to worry if it has launcher pro. I don't understand why u are even complaining. Its not hard to dl go launcher from the market.

Maybe a little too harsh..
I mean he did thank the devs, but then again he's kinda being selfish reason being stated in quote...
Sent from my SPH-D700
Relax
He is simply suggesting and commenting on a launcher he thinks is suitable. He is not in any way telling Devs. what to include in the Roms. Some of you take this a bit too serious.

Go Launcher is meh, but Zeam is great for ROMS. I did switched to ADW after I learned it too had a hidden dockbar like Zeam.
And just as a side note, Go launcher also includes a hidden dockbar. I would be intersted, however, to learn the memory/battery impact of the different launchers. I would imagine that the more options it has the more resources it uses.

I just checked out Zeam and I didn't see a hidden dock bar. If it had it, that would be perfect. It is definitely nice and lightweight.

Zeam is great! I have been using it for months now. Its light and never has failed on me.

second that..
if people were loosing time with normal FB apps cant imagine how they will deal with a fb launcher.. :/ :/
addiction at 200%
Thank you for sharing.
Wow, it's not that it doesn't work well, it's rather smooth but... it manages to be underwhelming and overkill at the same time. It doesn't do half facebook actually allows but going so far as to create a launcher with whatever it actually has being so spread out... wasn't really necessary. All we needed was a decent app. Like one that wouldn't linger in the background consuming memory and battery at all times. A smooth interface would also be cool, not that laggy crap most people experience.
But that's just what i think. I'm not replacing my launcher with this.
There is already a thread for this in Themes and Apps. Please utilize that one, as it was created first.

1 month slow down

It's been a month and I have tons of apps and now the phones all of a sudden lagging. Anyone else notice this?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Like everything lags or just particular apps/functions (sms, recent apps, etc)? Have you tried wiping cache in recovery?
R u rooted and do u have a recovery?
How about using the built in memory cleaner that frees up ram.add a swap along with your ram.I guess more info is needed to help u
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda premium
Use holo launcher hd as ur default launcher....im convinced touchwiz has leaks
I havr advanfed task killer installed and let it run idling. ...normally I never use it but on the rare super lag I kill everything in memory (I.e. no auto kill as normally android does better memory management on its own)
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda app-developers app
Had mine for exactly one month today and nope, no lags at all.
Are you using Greenify (if rooted)?

i mean yeah it works and all but it doesnt mean it stops the lag lol...
Have a ton of crap on your phone will slow it down, and I'm assuming you already knew this. I'm going to assume that you mean your phone took a massive lag attack all of a sudden.
I'm going to say it's something in your memory that keeps launching itself. What's the last app you installed? How many apps run in the background on your phone?

It's all personal preference really, depends on how you want your screens set up, how you want the device to look etc. (PS Best threads are against XDA rules, so expect this to be closed)
Oh right ok i didnt know so do i need to be rooted to change launcher
Sent from my SM-G900F using xda app-developers app
Nope, can grab Nova /Apex etc from the playstore and test them out, premium features you have to pay for, but in regards to Nova it's superb I've used it for a long time now.
