Which launcher??

Hi guys,
Just wondering what launcher you guys are using?? I used to use Apex on my One X which was awesome but it seems pretty laggy on the note 2 as does Nova and Holo.
Cheers,

Stock, what's wrong with the stock launcher?? It seems pretty fast and smooth.

No offense, but the stock launcher sucks....I hate being stuck with big icons and low grid arrangement

Ive tried them all. And always come back to go launcher ex.
Reasons to switch from stock. Landscape homescreen view and customise grid layouts and my main two. Add a clock/weather widget from beautiful widgets and happy days.

Go Launcher Ex here too... Though it seems a little less smooth as the stock launcher, I prefer a custom grid (I use 5x6) and icon resizing over a 4x4 grid with too much empty useless space. Why else would you have a 5,5" screen.
A few good improvements on TouchWiz on the Note2 though, are the ability to sort the application list in the app drawer, and a 5 icon dock when running stock.

Yeah, stock launcher sucks donkeys balls for the reason already mentioned- crappy grid arrangement that you can't change. Have tried Ex, it's pretty cool, very smooth. I do prefer Apex but I'd rather have a launcher nice and smooth than laggy.

I'm using Nova. On the Note 2, it's the smoothest launcher I've ever used.

For those who doesn't know, the transparency bug in nova is already fixed

Nova launcher pro and 6x5 grid, but i miss the context screen on touchwith. When i have some time spare, i test again Go launcher, on my previous phone (Arc S), it unusable, cause it's use too much memory.

I have a page here with a few Android launchers on it, if you fancy trying a few others.

Nova Launcher Premium with Circles theme > than all

Tsf is actually pretty cool. Takes some time to get used to..but what awesome look and feel. And works amazing on this beast.

I hated TW on my Galaxy S and Note 1, so I used Go Launcher, Launcher Pro and ADW EX. But on the Note 2, TW seems the smoothest for me switching between screens and opening apps and the app drawer.
I'm using the TW mod that gives me a 5x4 grid plus the dock on the home screen and a 6x5 grid in the app draw.
There's a 6x5 grid mod for the homescreen too.

Yes, the Nova launcher are the best:good:

Go Launcher Ex All The Way!
Here's Why:
I've also found it to be very smooth and the least glitchy on Jelly Bean.

I just grabbed my note II and compared them, honestly it's really hard to tell but you may be right. TW is the tiniest bit smoother, but it's negligible

Stupid Question Alert

Ok, so how the heck do you add widgets to the Home Screen?
When I long press all I get is the wallpaper option.
Sorry, but thanks

Go to the app drawer.

From ICS onwards (no one cares about Honeycomb) widgets were moved to the applications tray/drawer. At the top you can switch between apps and widgets.

Does the G2 have launcher landscape rotation?

Hi guys thinking about moving from the Note 3 to the LG G2.
One thing that is annoying on the note 3 is that the launcher does not rotate to lanscapw mode. This is very annoying as my car dock is landscape.
Does the G2 do this even with a mod?
Cheers!

If you're using the stock launcher, you may be in the minority. Most if not all of the alternative launchers like Nova, ADW, Go, have landscape capability, you'd not be limited to such a small icon grid, and they don't require root.

post your screenshots / home screens / lock screens

Looking forward to seeing everyone's screenshots!

I've had nova prime for years. I signed up for beta test. Hands down one of the best launchers out there. So many options to make it the way you want it.

Can't stand Trebuchet, so this is the one I use.

I have had nova prime for a while. I rarely use it. I like simple launchers. I use Google now launcher. If I'm on my launcher I'm checking the time or launching an app. I also try to only have one page with all my apps in folders. I prefer simplicity for my launchers. Thanks for showing deals btw!
