[Q] What home do you use? ADW, LP, TW, AOSP??

Hey guys. Kinda new around here, figured I'd post a poll and get to know the community somewhat. Feel free to take a look and choose an answer Anyways, were never going to find a definitive answer to whats better, LP, ADW, etc etc... there are many threads arguing the validity of why each one could be better than the next. It's all a matter of personal preference IMO and I really don't care why you hate one. All I'm wondering is which one you use yourself. Just to get a feel for what everyones using out there. Thanks! Of course you can leave supporting info to why you love the one you use, just try not to start arguing why one is great and OP Is a nubsauce and all that other junk! Thanks again!
My Vote goes to LP or LPP just probably because it's the one I'm most comfortable with and know the best. I can change anything on the fly and know right where it is under settings/on my home sreens. Just a personal preference. How about you?

Back when I had my Nexus, the first nonstock launcher I used was ADW because it was included in CyanogenMod.
ADW is nice in the fact that its really customizable, and that there are the swipe features. I tried Launcher Pro once or twice back then, but didn't like the dock and its white/grey icons.
Recently I got LauncherPro Donate, and now its the ONLY one I use. Combined with LauncherPro Icons, you get ultimate customization of the dock/icons. The swipe-able dock is freakin AWESOME, and the LP Widgets are perfect for what I want!
Being able to resize widgets, have scrolling widgets, combined with the speed of LP makes it the winner for me.

Launcher pro plus.
Customization is the best.
Don't care about themes.
Great dev support.

i use touchwiz with my epic experience rom because its well part of the epic experience
+i love the samsung widgets

I use launcher pro.
No lag on my epic, customizable dock bar with 5 icons. Does what I want.

I prefer ADW... my homescreen is completely blank with no status bar and only the app menu. and i swipe up for txt messages and down for phone/contacts. all my setscpu, cache clear, terminal, etc. is on the left screen and entertainment/work on the right screen. It feels very clean and customized.
(This is williams friend)

Touchwiz, and love it. No root, no roms, just stock.

Im rockin launcher pro plus and loving it
Tapatalkin' it from my EPIC 4g

I'm over from Winmo and brand new to the Epic and Android...I have Launcher Pro Plus on now but want to go back and try TW again until I learn more about Android. Is there a way to switch back and forth after you have chosen LP? I did have a option before. Sorry for the dumb question. I think LP is better but I need to keep it simple for now.

Try livehome. Its like adw+launcher pro but it also gives you transition animations like book page turning or 3d cube. I've used it for about a week now and I love it
Epic 4g
I would like to reitterate that my phone is much stronger than yours...

Launcher Pro. I love how many options it gives you. For example, I switch back and forth between this 2 setups:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

^^ This uses the scrollable Dock of LP to allow me 3 rows of shortcuts, 3 of which are folders. I never have to place icons on my homescreens. Just widgets.
^^ This is just a really fun setup inspired by a thread in the EVO forums.

Care to explain where you got the icons for the dock, what clock widget is that, and what widget is showing you the bluetooth wifi etc icons? It looks awesome.

So if I use launcher pro on a rom like uncommon or another sense default system, will Rosie and the sense still eat up memory/CPU? Also what app is a good alternative for the clock/timer/stopwatch in sense?

New to all this myself but recently found under manage applications the ability to deselect the default launcher. Find whatever is default in the list and hit home to select a new one. Not selecting to save the default prompts whenever the home key is set

Let's talk launchers !

What launcher should someone with a heavy passion for themes use?
Smoothest launcher other than TouchWiz ?
What do you guys use?

I use go launcher. It's free and really nice. Although I did roll back to an earlier version because one of the updates wasn't to my liking.
Tried loads, always return to go launcher.

If you like themes then I guess Go launcher is your best bet. I like Launcherpro / Launcher7 and those both are themable quite easily too

I alternate from TW 4.5 and GoLauncher, so far the latest update of GoLauncher is a winner for me. It's like the Charlie Sheen of Launchers.

Without doubt go launcher is the most functional and customizable launcher you can get and its free.

I'm struggling to see that as a compliment. I switched from LauncherPro to Go Launcher recently and haven't regretted the decision. I miss LauncherPro's built-in scrollable widgets, but have replaced those with Android Pro Widgets instead.
I'd been getting issues for some time with LauncherPro freezing for ages on startup, Go Launcher has no such problems and with the most recent update has the 3D app drawer too; bonus.

I use Go Launhcer!! A very good app, with lots of customizations ans a very active dev...Not very smooth as TW launcher though...

Go Launcher is ace, it has alot of themes out for it and i belive the devs also have a program to assist people in building there own.
For me its Go Launcher + Matted Blue theme = win.

I use SPB Shell 3D, works like a charm with the S2 and gives me all that I want!!

Having tried a few - openhome,go launcher and the original launcher, I came to the conclusion that ADW ex is the best of the bunch, runs smoothly, very customizable, including home icon size, home grid customization, and the screen transitions, appdock and drawer options are out of this world.

Most of the ones available on the Market are very good, and there's very little between them. TBH, the best thing you can do is just try them all and see which you prefer. Personally, I'm all over the GO apps at the minute - Launcher, SMS Pro, Contacts, Dialer - they're all great!
Seriously - ignore everyone and just try them all yourself for a day or two.

Sums up the Go launcher to a tee, this quotation, rather a mess, not as slick as others, a bit of a hodge podge, although Charlie Sheen goes one step further and equates to a complete W&$ker
I have tried so many launcher spent way to much time faffing about with them, back with TW, so slick and fast, and does everything I need.

Different custom ROMs sometimes come with themes you can flash. If you're not rooted, you're not going to be able to apply a theme anyway.

Unless you mean something like a custom Launcher. I use KJY's ROM but I have ADW launcher EX running on my tab. If I can recall correctly I think its the only custom launcher that has honeycomb support. With it I can change the icons to whatever I like (but your home, back and task switcher buttons will always look the same unless you download one of KJY;s themes, which are pretty slick).

Alright 2 launchers, but ADW is a little more affordable. I know the other launchers work too, but most of them you can't get from the market because they are deemed "incompatible", you will have to get them from other sources.
ADW actually has a tablet interface. I have attached a screen shot of it.

Something on Go Launcher: I just read that the dedicated tablet version will come in the coming month.

GO Launcher should release that asap I love SPB SHELL 3D but .. you can't customize it much Is very pretty though and well put together.
Adw has a crap load of themes and you can download these to spice up any theme.

That's what Android is all about right? Choice

I am currently using the SPB Shell 3D. I do really like it. I would however love to have the Go Launcher. That's what I use on my phone and I love it. I don't have any reason aside from themes to root my Iconia, so I won't. I think the Go Launcher and ADW Launcher are about the best options for theming for now.

i have adw launcher ex but I was talking about different flashable theme with a whole new look with different fonts and buttons colors etc...

Yea agreed but I wish go launcher tablet would be available cuz the current version lags during screen transition and after about an hour of use it asked about my resolution in which case it changes it to tiny mode with icons the size of half of the original .. I think every launcher development team is now seeing that tablets tegra 2 10.1 are dropping in price so more people are picking them up before they are discontinued for new tegra 3 devices.

Once again if you're not rooted there is nothing you can do!
If you are, there are quite a few stock based, and non-stock based ROMs that have flashable themes for them

Sorry bud, let's try and get back on track then.

I used SPB-shell for a time, the A500 runs cool. It is with a bit of lag if you add many widgets

Google launcher experience

I just want to share with all of you my experience with Google launcher. After installing the launcher, I notice the tablet is running really smoothly. No lags at all. Also apps open faster and reduce battery usage. Please do the same and share your experience here and let us know.
Note: if you are a big fan of the magazine UI you will lose it because it is a part of the TouchWiz. Not a big deal for me for faster performance, it is actually worth losing this feature.

Just think, we've paid a premium for a screen that's a little over 10 inches wide in landscape and launchers like this or Touchwiz piss away about 3 inches of it on margins. This is my #1 reason for installing Nova Prime within 20 minutes of owning the tablet LOL.

Yeah true. I guess its just the novelty of sideloading Google Launcher that's not really made for the Note Pro or something. I found it way too limited compared to Nova. I had Nova Prime on my Note Pro within a few minutes out of the box!

Wow clean home screen.
I try to use as much as I can on mine LOL.
Back on topic though I wouldn't mind always on search from Google Now Launcher. I currently run Switchr as a left sided swipe action so I wouldn't make use of the swipe for Google Now.
Currently I have long press of home button to trigger Google Now and then have to say Ok Google to bring up voice search (or double tap home to bring up Samsung's S-Search which I never use).

^ Those Widgets look great. Specifically the weather, calendar and tasks. Mind saying what those are?
I usually keep my main homepage pretty clear but have calendars and other Widgets on the secondary pages. But the Note Pro is so big there's room to stretch out a bit!

Anyone care to share their Google now apk. Thanks in advance

I tried this and while it was very quick, the lack of customizations made me go back to Apex then to Nova Prime. Think I'll stick with Nova for now. Google Launcher is just too basic for me at this point. Good start though.

I got it from here: http://d-h.st/iNW

There's one thing that bugs the crap out of me with the google kitkat launcher. When you hold down on the home screen and it brings up the 3 icons for wallpapers, widgets, and settings. "Settings," when you press it, it takes you to GOOGLE settings. The settings app that most people are unaware even exists. I keep forgetting and clicking on it hoping for the normal settings. Annoys me to no end. I always immediately revert to nova at that time.

There is a xposed module to configure the GEL called "xposed gel settings"

Different launchers ?

I have been testing out a few launchers such as next 3d go and nova and not really sure why people use these? The changes are minimal such as desktop transition and that's about it? I know you can use icon packs which is nice.
What do you see in your launcher ? I am most likely going to.buy Go or next 3d but not sure which. It seems some lag depending on which launcher I use.

Nova launcher does not lag a single bit and is actually smoother Than stock.... And just looking at my home screen it looks completely different than stock TW

nice iconpack, what is that.

Haven't used stock in probably 2 years. Nova has features not found anywhere in Stock launcher.
Dock as overlay, widget resizing (AND overlapping), app drawer customization, icon resizing, multiple/scrollable dock rows.....resize page grids...
The list is exhaustive. It's not really even comparable to stock.

I used Go Launcher prior to the release of Jelly Bean. After that, it seemed the Go Team had really fallen behind the times on what Android is capable of.
I've experimented with Next 3D on occasion. I love the effects, transitions, etc. But I've never felt I had more actual functionality than when I run Nova (or Apex for that matter).
I personally use the paid version of Nova (Prime). First and foremost to support the app developer, but you also receive about twice as more usable features on Nova Prime. Desktop backup is a great example! For those of us who flash ROMs a lot, this is an awesome feature.
Launchers are always about preference and how you use your phone. I saw a thread on here about people emailing each other Go Launcher Beta 5.0 invites. My personal thought was.... "really.. Go launcher... On Kit Kat!? That's just stupid...." LOL.
But again, some people love it and swear by it, just like I do with Nova Prime. I think every launcher brings it's own unique thing to Android...

I use aviate now cause it's so basic and simple. I've used nova and apex and thought like you. They barely changed anything.
Quantum matrix is a fun launcher. Probably the only true 3d one. All your apps are in the cube. Apps on corners are shown on all sides. You can have folders with more cubes in them. Was a fun launcher. But i like playing around with new stuff.
Went to TSF and I loved that. Literally performs like a pc desktop in that no more grid pattern. Place stuff where you want even on top of each other. Doesn't matter. No form you must stick to. Was so much fun. Even can spin then slightly so icons are on an angle. So many little tweaks too. Very fun launcher but very costly.
Only reason I use aviate now is i wanted something really simple and plain and this works. Will change up in a few months probably when i want something new

I always end up back with Nova. It works so well, yet adds useful features at a reasonable pace. It's the best mix of functionality and freedom. Definitely buy Prime.
I think I've used all the rest, and they are fun. Themer is a nice novelty, TSR is great in a big phone, Next is slick with a ton of little touches, but Nova hits it right.

Nova just got updated last month, but they didn't really add much. It isn't the 'flashiest' of launchers but IMO it's definitely the smoothest and snappiest.
