So I played around with a couple of other launchers (LauncherPro and ADW), but have a feeling that TouchWiz might be hardware accelerated by using the GPU chip on the i9000 where as others probably aren't ?
For example enable a resource hungry live wallpaper and open applications. Now scrolling the applications is still very smooth on the touchwiz where as on the other launchers I tried, I can feel scrolling the app list becomes much more choppy because the live wallpaper seems to be running in the background.
That made me wonder if Touchwiz is perhaps using GPU acceleration instuctions taking advantage of the samsung hardware, or perhaps Touchwiz is just more clever to temporarely disable live wallpaper when it's not visible, where the other launchers still have them running in the background when viewing app list.
Maybe it's a placebo effect, but it also felt like phone got warmer using other launchers (indicating they use more processor and perhaps not taking advantage of samsung hardware GPU in the same way like Touchwiz does).

ill give a try to touchwizz right now
I think it runs great to, but as long as you can't set the middle as default, it's not for me. Anyone found a way to do this with rooting yet?

Use SGS Tools.
Doesn't work. Just tried it again on Froyo. :-(
You can change the default page in froyo touchwiz, but you have to edit the .apk to do it. But it's very simple.
SGS tools worked for me to edit touchwiz. I have 3 homepages and set 2 as my default homepage by setting it to 1(0 is the first page). I am on JPM tatyamas lite ROM

Doesn't even take a resource-hungry live wallpaper for me. If I enable any live wallpaper it will make LauncherPro quite laggy, in the app drawer but also a bit on the homescreen itself, whereas TouchWiz stays perfectly smooth.
I guess it would make sense that TW would be better tailored to the SGS it's included with as opposed to other launchers that need to maintain compatibility with everything, but I'm still pretty surprised. My interest is piqued now so I'll just have to give it a go!
I can confirm all findings here. I use launcher pro but its laggy, even with no live wallpaper but with 3 full pages of widgets. Considering gpu performance on benchmarks you expect it to be smooooooooth.
Will be interested to see if the performance improves.

Coming from LauncherPro.

AOSP Froyo Launcher is also very very smooth with/without Live Wallpaper give it a try...
You must push the Apk to System/app to use the Launcher.. ;DD
I´ve the Link push and then enjoy...! ;DD

Gave it a go using TW for a day and I have to admit it does seem a helluva lot smoother than Launcher Pro, even with a LWP on. Colour me impressed!

I'm a TouchWiz fan for it's looks and smoothness.
Sure it isn't as customizable as all the other launchers out there, but on it's own TouchWiz looks great IMHO. I know a lot of people who hate the iPhone-esque look though so appearance is just all a matter of personal taste. Still, for me TouchWiz is great; no need to go through the trouble of finding the perfect theme/icons or setting things up perfectly to your liking.
I'm obsessive compulsive though so I guess it really does take me forever to set everything up exactly the way I like them to be. I've tried LauncherPro and some other launchers and I got overwhelmed and tired with all the control I had over the look and feel of my SGS. Don't get me wrong...I love customization and the whole process of doing so...but I'm just too OC.
Added to that was how they just didn't feel as smooth as TouchWiz. Even on a freshly flashed and cleaned up phone alternative launchers don't seem to match TouchWiz in terms of the overall feel. Maybe it's just me
So even if I may not have a great looking and extra-functional dock, resizable widgets, and hundreds of layout possibilities..sometimes simpler is easier and better.
I might change my mind once I get bored of my current layout. Haha!
I'll tinker with the apk's and see what customization possibilities I can unlock while sticking to TouchWiz.
TW: If I wanted an iPhone, I would have gotten one. Scrolling right finding an app drives me insane. I disagree with some in this thread on its performance. IMO it's not fasther than e.g. LP once you put stuff on the home screen
ADW: used to be great, I don't know what they were thinking with the last couple of releases, it has gotten incredibly slow.
LP: love it. Unlike some other people that replied: I hate the widgets they look ugly as they offer no option to make them transperant. Has the prettiest dock and allows you to custom set the homescreen grid. Especially the latter is awesome
Zeam: Love it, very similar to LP in daily usage actually, but faster.
I'm sticking with LP for now because it allow me to set a 5 icon application grid which saves you 2 minutes scrolling through your application grid per day. The dock is the prettiest so I guess it has the best customizability vs performance balance. If just want the fastest out there go with Zeam.
i'd go with LPP too

On froyo you can do a pinch gesture to bring up an overview of all your panes of apps. I find it a quick way to find and jump to the app youre looking for. I feel it's rather zippy especially with voodoo in place. That's just my opinion though! JUst wanted to comment on your complaint about scrolling right.

Why do lwps make adw so choppy? Its so annoying that I'm kind of forced to use a normal wallpaper unless I want choppyness. The stock launcher, 2.3 launcher, and touchwiz work perfectly fine with them. Is there some option or something to make it work better?

Why can't ADW just work well? I use stock. Try contacting Anderweb and convince him to stop wasting his time.

haha, amen.
ADW has never worked for me on any devices I've owned that used it. I do like that you can get pretty deep into the settings, but unfortunately, none of those settings seem to be able to remedy the choppiness and general lag (at least for me). the only setting that ever made a noticable difference for me was disabling the wallpaper hack (or enabling? whatever the opposite of what it is by default is). I am not on the development side of things, but I feel like with these launchers, the more feature-packed they are, the more buggy they are.
launcher pro was so much smoother for me, but it force closed, again on multiple devices, every time the phone booted.. and I don't like that.
I finally went to virtuous and am giving it a shot with its stock launcher... no issues thus far. of course going to a sense rom isn't really a solution to your problem. I'm getting used to it but I do miss CM.
Don't get me wrong, adw is VERY smooth (adw ex at least) but lwps just slow the bujeezus outta that thing. I don't really use them often but I mean really. Stock has no lag or choppyness, neither 2.3, neither touchwiz, neither sense. It seems that all launchers that come with the phone work fine with live wallpapers but not market ones. I tried launcherpro, adw, adw ex, and go and they were all pretty incompatible with live wallpapers.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Interesting... You are on a G2 or Desire Z I suppose?
I am, and I found all launchers to be smooth up to very smooth on my device, with the 'Grass' live wallpaper set. I am running the latest nightlies of CM7.
Of the different launchers, GO Launcher was 'worst' in app list scrolling and Launcher Pro's shortcut bar just doesnt appeal to me. Zeam is very cool as well, but doesnt offer widget resizeability. So for the time being I'm stuck with ADW, which is very very smooth both in homescreen swiping as well as (vertical) app list scroll orgies.
Where does your setup differ from mine? Do you have a lot of background tasks (FB, Twitter, ...) or a taskkiller or similar at work?
...I almost forget: or a lot of widgets? Animated content? Semi transparent widgets or the likes...?
I have fully transparent widgets to fit my theme and I am using the paginated app drawer. When I scroll in the paginated drawer, it is very choppy. Also scrolling on the desktop is choppier than usual and the app drawer animation is EXTREMELY choppy. I am using adw ex.

Hey guys and girls this will be my first android device and reading up on all the apps and widgets is a little daunting.
So this is the question : im going to be changing my dock icons because they remind me to much of my current Iphone 4, So i need a launcher?
What launcher does everyone suggest i try out and why?
I dont mind paying for a launcher just as long as its not to buggy or a memory/power hog.
Thanks in advance.
i'm going to go for LP Sense:
https://market.android.com/details?id=fr.clockwidget.lpslatesense
runs great on my Hero...just need to get a SGS2
why use a different launcher off the block.. try the new twiz 4 launcher that comes with it first for a while..
I personally like ADW EX i like the swipe animations and the overall feel of it on my EVO. I have seen it run slowly on lower power devices. The level of customizations that are available to the user is amazing. And you can get it for free in some Roms. Thats how i stumbled upon it. It has several ways to anaimate screen swipes. But if you want a true 3d effect try shell 3d. I dont know of a way to get it for free but i did try it out for a while and it was pretty cool, but it even felt kind of slow on my evo.
Ive gone with slide screen its beautiful, how about a lock screen, this drag the background thing is so poor

Try LauncherPro.. The best in my opinion
I tried launcher pro and finds its not smooth atm on this phone, it feels a bit jerky when going in to the apps window.

That's weird, it's flawlessly smooth on my Galaxy S 1. However, if you're using a live wallpaper then the transition into the app drawer (and then scrolling through it) is stuttery.
Apart from that, I'd throw my vote to LauncherPro too, especially if you buy the Plus version.
Reasons:
- Easily resize widgets and change homescreen grid sizes
- Virtual looping of homescreens (get to the end and it'll flick back to the farthest, no need to scroll all the way back)
- Homescreen transitions (instead of boring sideways scrolling can have 3D flips or the widgets rotate away)
- 'Plus' adds lots of extremely handy smooth, scrollable widgets almsot identical to what HTC Sense provides
- These widgets have now been made theme-able as of the latest update
- Can use in landscape or portrait
- Scrollable dock (scroll through 3 docks of 5 icons each)
- Dock icons and background can be changed, so my icons look like WP7's
- Can set an action for swiping up from any dock icon (eg: touching Internet icon launches the browser, but swiping the Internet icon instead displays a list of bookmarks!)
- On my Galaxy S was smoother for me than ADW

I'm going to use the wp live wallpaper so I don't need a clock, but I do like the animated weather on wake up ( reminds me of my HD2 love you forever and ever ) so that sounds like a good pick.
what about go launcher ? any thoughts?
And I've seen touch wiz in vids I like the tiled widgets but I dislike the dock icons looking like iPhone. so can I Change the dock icons to stock android without a launcher?

Thanks again for all the replys guys they are helping a tone.
Also what launcher has more icon themes ?
Launcherpro for me. Smooth as silk, really quick and it just works...
Launcher pro is not as smooth as before with sgs2. it was better on my htc desire.
I have been using AWD EX as not being able to change the messaging for Chomp SMS on the touchwiz was driving me mad. But I am getting cronic lag on switching screens. Not all the time. Just often enough to be anoying. Reading what others have been saying, I can only assume we need to tweek the phone a bit.
Hi u guys I'm in a big debate on wether which launcher is best and fast. I want your guys opinions.
I'm running my g2 with cyanogens latest nightly build.
First off
Adw: too slow for me
Launcher pro purchased: I had been using launcher pro for a really long time but it takes forever to come up and when u swtich the launcher to landscape mode everything goes bananas.
Go launcher: was using this for about 2 months but I don't like the theme selections.
Adw ex: what imusing right now, pretty fast but also a lil unstable.
What's best for u guys?
Have you tried the stock gingerbread launcher? What it lacks in customisation options it makes up in speed and stabilty.
[sig]My mission is to hit 1000 posts by 23/05/2011[sig]
can't beat adw ex as far as I'm concerned... the new 3d drawer is perfect (literally, I can't tell the difference between it and a vanilla android launcher), theme engine is solid, customization is much more thorough than LP.
I had way more issues with stability on LP than I do with ADW ex... what ultimately made me give up on LP was the 1 minute wait time upon boot (or force close if you're impatient)... that's just plain sloppy.
Agree with both answers. But I think you can see the smoothness of stock over adw ex. At least I can for sure. I wish stock came with three screens and removed those dots at the bottom. Id be in heaven then. Have you tried zeam?

yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if on setups not as stripped as mine, the stock launcher is still much smoother.
I'm only running 1 home screen with the google quick search box and eight app shortcuts. along with no transition animations or other eye candy, it's like butter, especially now that they've fixed the 3d app tray.. used to be a little choppy but now it really is reminiscent of a vanilla GB launcher in terms of smoothness.
I been using LP plus, and say I don't really have issue and it runs great and quick for me not real bloat options,I don't have to take 20 mins to setup the launcher how I like it as adw I don't like the dots, don't like thr trash on toop don't don't like drawer slook
For me launcher pro is definitely the best and runs smooth at all times (except when charging the phone).
Go Launcher Ex is fast, smooth and the most reliable. As far as I'm concerned its the best home launcher right now. I was a long time user of Launcher Pro Plus but the bugs and lack of timely updates really irritated me.
ADW/ex both don't have good enough support for icons other than adw icons and that buff icon set. I'm having the same issue with Launcher pro, although I do like their activity options in the widget menu.
Im using EX but i really want to use another but I can't find any good ones. I liked 91 panda, I don't think it's been updated but I haven't checked either.
launcher pro plus for sure! fast, stable and some nice widgets

you can use any icons you want as long as they're PNG (same as any other custom launcher).. creating an icon pack that will replace your app tray icons as well is a piece of cake.

Launcher pro for me but with the recent update. The slide out keyboard no longer opens go to landscape mode.
I like launcher pro
or you can use ADW launcher
if you like wp7's launcher, you can use 7 launcher
if you like 3D UI, you can use regina
Wondering if anybody else has seen or used this launcher.
I'm trying it out but I have my doubts as to whether I'll keep it. I'm currently using the Anaconda rom so obviously it works on ICS. So far I'm liking it. It's very fast and very stable. What is the best part is that is very small it doesn't use so much memory. It's fully customizable even to the point where you can turn your icons on there axis and resize them.
Just search for the lightning launcher in the play store. Check out the screen shots and tell me what you think.
Looks pretty nice, good that it's lightweight as well. I'm still perfectly happy with Cyanogen's Trebuchet Launcher even in its Alpha state as we have it, but always good to see more variety.
The reflections are pooched in the launcher lol...
But I do like the icon rotation and resizing, might have to try this one out.
the reflections can be turned off or adjusted by length, depth, density, etc...
not too impressed with it, except for the free mode which i've suggested to every other launcher dev (adw, launcher pro, go launcher, apex launcher, nova launcher, etc etc) in the past and all the devs said it's not possible... so wtf. the menus are really hard to navigate, and it doesn't offer an easy way to change the background.
has potential, but right now it's a no-go.
Love it on my Droid 1. It's the fastest launcher with the fewest redraws that I've been able to find. It's also more customizable in way that are important to me than any other launcher. 5 star app.
Here's what I did with it...I like one simple home page.

I never liked Touchwiz on the S2. Now that was bland and boring.
does TW allow custom icons and the use of beautiful widets and apps lke that?
nova launcher....
got both paid nova and apex...still prefer nova
Nova, purely for the in-App Drawer folder
Thanks for sharing
TW launcher is great, but it has one big bug. If you put two or more app icons that have long names (try Go SMS Pro next to Chrome Beta), you'll see the launcher starts to lag noticeably while shifting between homescreens and scrolling through scrollable widgets. Once you remove one of the two, the lag disappears. It's weird. I tried clearing data and everything and it's still there.
That being said, the only thing I miss about the TW launcher is the app drawer animation. Get Nova launcher, make the drawer background semi-clear. Then check the option to hide the dock divider. BAM! You have a lag-free version of the TouchWiz launcher.

Features? What features? It lacks features.... It looks way better than previous TW launchers and everything but it doesn't do anything special beyond that.
There are no gesture shortcuts, , no grouping/tabs/advanced folders like Nova has, no grid scaling options, no widget overlay options...
