I have darky's rom. It has original Samsung launcher and gingerbread launcher.
I like gingerbread smoothness and 3d app drawer but I can't customize it at all.
I would like it to be smooth and I wanna be able to reorder apps in app drawer as I like it. I tried LauncherPro, adw launcher ex, Go launcher ex but all of them isn't smooth to me as original and gingerbread launcher.
So my question is what customizable launcher is the smoothest?
Original on stock rom.
jje
launcher pro
ADW Ex has everything you would need in a launcher and more
Gingerbread. After trying lots of them for a long time I just love it's simplicity and reliability.
Try Zeam. It's really smooth.

Ok...to make the collection complete: GoLauncher Ex
Its very smooth and customizable!
Launcher pro and adw ex. I prefere launcher pro because of dock customize.
ADW EX, has customizable Doc now new features every week almost , or Zeam for something lite but isn't very customizable or updated.
Smoothness issues are fixed using a kernel like Speedmod etc with tweaks and a different file system like EXT4 that Google phones use now as there stock fs.
Zeam, lightweight and fast.
Isnt the GB launcher on darky's just a skinned LP ?
I always used the gtg version of touchwiz. works extraordinary. I recommend

ditto. was on LP but find it to be too slow upon startup.
TouchWizGTG Launcher is by far the smoothest but little customization without having access to the source code.
ADW launcher EX for sure

Zeam is amazing if you like stripped down blazing fast stuff.
I like how you can have up to 7 icons in the dock on one screen (add more to scroll)
I also like how you can change the transparancy of the app drawer
Finally, the action bindings is great - e.g double tap anywhere on the screen to open app drawer or swipe up anywhere to open dialler
Also, changing the no of columns/rows on the homescreen is a standard feature as is changing the size of widgets
If you want to change the icons get desktop visualiser (DVR), get an icon pack and creat the shortcut on Zeam, then simply drop the themed icon into the dock.
I used to use LP+ but find it too bloated these days, and I think the reason Zeam is not updated regularly is because it is where it needs to be - it is specifically designed to be light and fast
LP or ADW EX.
I have been working with ADW EX more after never really giving it a chance and its growing on me so either one is perfect for my needs.
I use Go Launcher. It is great. You can make folders. And you can have only few icons instead 100 or 200
My phone with Doc's Rom and Hardcore kernel
zeam is pretty good and smooth and the dock is customizable as well
and works even better when ur sgs is OC !!!
Go Launcher EX is the best at the moment
quick fast, fully loaded, all free
think of LauncherPro Plus + ADW EX + Stock + Task Manager + Handsent SMS + ...
yes all those combined into 1 package, it's awesome!
He guys, I have a question: is it possible to hide the adw dock when opening the app-drawer?
I've been searching the adw menu for hours but I can't find any solution for my problem.
I use CM 7.1.0 and in the beginning, I think I had such a configuration (not pretty sure).
Thx in advance
Menu > ADW Settings > UI Settings > Drawer Settings > Full Screen.
That's using ADW Launcher EX, I assume the setting is in the same place for ADW Launcher.
Unfortunately there isn't such a menu point to find. I made some screenshots of what I can see in UI-settings. Is it possible that the 5 icon dock inhibits what i want?

Don't think it's anything to do with the number of icons on the dock, I can use 5 here with full screen app drawer without a problem. I guess ADW EX has its settings menu laid out differently to the normal ADW launcher (screenshot attached of the relevant option in ADW EX); maybe it isn't possible in the free version then?
Edit: This post by the ADW dev seems to indicate that it was a feature added to ADW EX, so you might have to stump up the £2.00 for that version if you want it that badly.
That would definitively explain why I can't find a way to do that. What confuses me, is that I think I already had the dock disappearing, I must be tripping
So I guess I have to purchase ADW EX. It could be worse^^
And a big thx for helping me!
im currently running cm7 and was wondering if there was anyway of having more pages and how to change the main dock
You can get some changes by changing some settings in Menu>Settings>ADWlauncher
But I'll suggest getting another home application like GO Launcher EX which is much more customizable.
will that give me more pages and a sense like launcher with the curve
I'm using GO launcher EX and I can add as much pages as I want

the CM7 launcher has up2 7 pages that you can add and remove as necessary. Press "menu" on the home page then press "edit"
If you want to change the dock, there are a few styles in ADW Settings but search 'custom docks' in the forum search bar, there are loads of customizable options.
Launcher Pro Plus seems to be the best option (paid launcher pro)
I'm happy with ADW laucher.
plenty of launchers to use, choose the one you like and customize as needed.
I do say that the best launcher with customization is Ofcourse Nova launcher.
Nova launcher beta version is now Google companion supported. It will soon roll out for Stable Nova version.
Nova vs System Launcher
[Nova launcher]✓
1-App drawer
2-Change Grid
3-change dimensions
4-Widget resizing overlapping.
5-Custom folder options
6-Backup and restore Configs
7-App drawer Configs
8-Desktop Configs
[System Launcher]✓
1- Lite weight Ram friendly
2-Clean UI
3-Minimal options
4-Supported with Themes
5-beautiful Setup
Some screenshots here with some themes.
Actually System Launcher takes more RAM than nova, both are good in their own features.
MIUI launcher also has live icons for Clock, Calendar and Weather app. Almost all the launchers have live Calendar option now but if I remember correctly, MIUI v6, v7 or maybe both also had seconds display along with hour and minute hands on the clock app icon. That looks pretty if you ask me
I've used Nova launcher before. It's nice. Lots of customization. However. I am using the default MIUI launcher now and I honestly don't miss Nova.
System Launcher
I am more stock admirer so nova hands down... I actually have only one page in nova and launching most apps with appdialer. I use launcher page mainly for some informational widgets and shortcuts
Nova all the way, light and well performing
Nova its customizable, you can turn off / Block screen with Double Tap. Also support 3rd party beauty icons. The bad Thing is some widgets like clock do not work properly.
MIUI stock its very good and support a lot of beautiful themes. Pretty widget and Wallpapers but you can put apps icons by alphabetic order.
smart launcher is way better than both of them, i really dont understand why it isnt more popular
No way default launcher of mi can beat nova...ecen stock Android launcher is better than mi home launcher...After buying a mi phone the first thing I did was to install Nova launcher.
And for the second choise use Buzz launcher
System launcher

pls share the link of the themes u have applied ?
I liked Nova Launcher but i like simplicity of Evie Launcher. It has double tap lock and supports different icon packs available on playstore. Give it a try. One more thing is its Free and Ad Free. Enjoy.
I like Nova launcher for the fact you can edit truncated app names, and scroll the dock plus other things. The ONE thing MIUI launcher has in its favor is the Quick Function Widget has a toggle that will turn Mobile data on and off directly without going thru the settings. Thats a big plus for me, but you cant edit app names, or scroll the dock Its a real shame that you cant directly toggle mobile data on and off with nova or power toggle, like you can do with Native MIUI launcher
I've been using Nova launcher for many years, but I really like the simplicity and speed of the stock launcher of this handset. Is there a way to apply icon themes to it? If not, which custom launcher resembles it the most? I like having google now one swipe to the right away, access to the app drawer with little arrow in the middle/top of home icon row, the small footprint and how responsive and fast it is. Tia!
Action Launcher
Got Action Launcher. So far, I like it a lot :good:
I've been using lightning pro for years. Its pretty complicated on initial setup but once you figure it out it's the most customizable launcher I've used.
