I love ADWEX. More customization options including swipe gestures. Had LauncherPRO for a while and the widgets are great, but in the end, I like ADWEX a whole lot more.
Both have free versions on the market you can play around with before you buy. Give Go launcher and Zeam a try too.
I used LPP for a long long time, but now, I'd say ADW EX by far
Go launcher or adw ex, imho.
My vote is for ADW EX. Definitely more customization. The only thing LPP has is its reputation & its widgets - but you can get very similar widgets for ADW EX or other launchers. I didn't even use the widgets though, and I find it absurd that you can't resize widgets with the free version of LauncherPro... and resizing in the paid version is only available in one direction.

I'd have to say ADW EX as well. I currently am back on Sense because of Synergy ROM, but if I wasn't on Sense, I'd definitely use ADW.
I'm using ADWEX on Synergy RLS1. I'm not a fan of the Rosie setup but I do enjoy the sense features. Very solid and stable launcher. Check it out!

Go Launcher EX can do just about everything that ADW and LPP can do...and it's FREE. It wouldn't hurt to check it out prior to purchasing a launcher. There is also a newer launcher that I kinda like called QQ Launcher. It doesn't have as much functionality as the others do yet, but it's contstantly being updated so it should catch up soon.
Zeam. After Sense of course

Well I made a similar thread in the mini pro a few months back and it was pretty sweet so I decided to start one here so I'll start!
I use zeam launcher basically because its light and fast and it has the features that I like

These days, Go Launcher, its free, its skinable, and also has a bunch of free widgests (for me, a sense-like calendar, and a messaging widget).
lol stock rosie launcher on sense 3.0
LauncherPro Plus. I just switched my wife's G2 to LPP because the default ADW in CM7 is laggy as hell.
Go Launcher, I love the sphere effect.
ADW EX i like all the customizations

+1 for ADW EX.
I'm using the stock MIUI launcher since I'm on an MIUI ROM. Also, how much smoother is ADW EX than the free ADW, because my experience with ADW has always been an awful slow lag-fest.
dxTop Pro, mostly because it was Amazon's free app of the day a few days ago.
i normally used go launcher, but it seems to be getting awefully bloated lately. i just tried launcher7 for the hell of it and im amazed, cool interface once you get used to it. and fassssst. giver a shot..its free..

Launcher Pro Plus, its the fastest (not most stable) launcher in my opinion.
I'm running CM7 and the default ADW is really laggy..
Launcher Pro Plus:
Zippy, and I like their widgets.
I was using adw since it is the launcher for cm7 but I tried go launcher ex and I love it! It's very fast with no lag at all. Tons of customization is available and I use android pro Widgets or apw in the market. Sense like Widgets. I highly recommend go launcher ex. It's free so it's worth a try. I think it's the best of the bunch. Just my two cents.
LauncherPro. It isn't really customized. I just have the Gingerbread dock to give my phone a pretty stock look. I tried the actual GB launcher and it was really slow doing screen transitions. So with LP, I have the look and all the quickness I need. I've also tried Zeam and Go and they weren't bad at all.
Hey if you guys want you. Can upload some screenshots

Lol like the look. Is that windows seven launcher?
Which is faster I want to have the faster launcher possible.....
GO Launcher
I've been pretty impressed w/ GO's speed and stability. It doesn't offer quite as many customizations, but I guess that'd be the trade off.
Have you tried zeam?

Honestly it all depends on how many screens, icons, and widgets you have but I know on my old moment zeam was the fastest launcher.

Long time Launcher Pro user. Finally tried out Go Launcher over the weekend and I'm not going back. Love it.
Go launcer wins!!!
i have tried both.. both are nice but for me Go Launcher wins.
I can't live without the scrolling themeable lightweight built in twitter and gmail widgets in the paid launcher pro plus. Go launcher seemed to complicate things a bit.

Go launcher for sure.

go launcher ex ftw..
also try launcher 7.
its pretty cool. nice and simple and fast
+1 for zeam also
Go launcher, its more customizable, plus you don't have to pay for the features like you would with LPP.
And not to mention its really fast and stable.

Go Launcher Keeps Me Going!! Lotsa Options!!
Launcher7 is the best imo

Seems as if all OEM launchers are buggier/laggier over time when run on top of a TW/Custom TW UI. GoEX is by far the slickest as far as effects/customizations. It is not that damn laggy people, though I do enjoy the easy add-abillity of "Anycut" like system activity Custom Shortcuts. Seems over and over though that GoEX is the 1st to start the .comprovider fc's and stuff, but they all do over the top of system TW UI. And furthermore the truly fakt thing is that a full-wipe re-install is the only cure.
Can tell you from many trials that ADW EX lasts longest with the most scrollable widget laden screens. Yeah I know, K l U n K y.
But hey, I am on Justin's Rebirth EC05 RC1 with Go Launcher, his Custom TW, and ADW EX all installed with Circle launcher, Beautiful Widgets 4x1,GoChat,Google+,Pure Grid Calendar,Pure Messenger on 3 Screens on each launcher-with ViperPad underneath (CPU 1120 Governor CONSERVATIVE I/O-NOOP) for over 2.5 weeks- not a glitch, and 30+ batt. @ moderate usage.
Every other ROM 9all GB's included do not perform like this.
Go launcher or qq launcher pro.

I would say to experiment with both launchers on whatever ROM that you're running to see which one works best for you. I've switched back and forth between the two several times now. On my current ROM (Simply AOSP v4) Launcher Pro takes the lead.
I have the adw ex and I was just wondering how do you get the original sense clocks to work with it? I seen on the market, on the adw screenshots, the person has original stock operational 2.3.3 sense widgets! I was just wondering, how do I go about doing that myself

Beautiful or fancy widgets it is in the market both have sense like clocks

Sense widgets can only be used in the Sense Rosie. There are other lookalike available in the Market though

I looked at some videos of launcher pro and it seems like somehow the two are very similar but ADW has less features apparently

Not really. ADW (especially the EX) is updated more often than Launcher Pro and has many themes! It has a lot of added functionality, but some people prefer Launcher Pro because of simplicity and widgets in the Plus version.
Launcher Pro hasn't really been updated in a long while, mostly because there isn't really anything to complain about. ADW EX used to be buggy in its first few releases, but it has become quite stable. I would try both of them, play around with them both. No harm in doing so
Launcher pro doesn't really have the ability to add themes though! I'm using it now and for some reason I can't even change the dock bar like I could with ease in ADW EX
Sent From KaoMinerva
Launcher Pro
Launcher Pro Plus has the LP widgets. They can be themed. There are theme packs that include a Sense-like clock widget
How do I get the dock bars?

What launcher do you guys use on your Xperia Play? Recently I have been debating between Go Launcher Ex and Adw Ex.
Adw ex imo is better I use loads though always changing it up.

I have Go Launcher and ADW, but LauncherPro is the one I like the most.
Very smooth, and allows some customization options that GoLauncher and ADW don't.
Launcher 7. Smoothest and the least laggy launcher I have used. It almost feels hardware accelerated because it's so smooth in all its transitions/scrollings.
Not everybody likes the wp7 layout. But I do. Very fast and functional to use.
Stock.

Picked up adw ex in the recent sales (10 cent) and I've been pretty happy with it.

I always used pretty much all of the Go apps on my LG O2X.
However on my play managed to get adw ex for 12p and I really love it. Seems smoother than Go. I like being able to resize the icon sizes.
The only thing I do miss is being able to put folders in the app list like you can in go. Handy to have all games together etc.
i used 360 (very good even in beta) with stock rom but now i have cm7 and go launcher
ADW Ex is great on the play. Very fast and snappy.
I'm running the free version of ADW. I like how you can organize your apps into different groups in the app drawer and then put a shortcut to the groups on your desktop with Launcher Actions.

I always used Launcher Pro on all my devices, but I much prefer Go Launcher with my Play. Go looks great on the large screen and it's easily the most functional of all the launchers for me. Plus Launcher Pro seems to have been abandoned while Go is in active development, with an update roughly every week or two
iam using the stock cm9 launcher. It works very well and very smooth

ADW Launcher EX. I was so close to switching to Go Launcher, but ADW udated with ICS styled folders

Was using LauncherPro for a while, then tried GO Launcher. Now I'm trying out Zeam. Decent little launcher. Small footprint. Downside is it crashes a lot and redraws take forever.
Might go back to GO Launcher.
Hi everybody! After a while with stock rooted and modded sense, I decided to switch to cm7. But the launcher that comes with this Rom (adw launcher) is slow on my desire... so what launcher do you use or do you suggest to me?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Launcher Pro (my favorite) or Zeam.
Really its a question of which launcher on AOSP.
I Prefer Go Launcher.
Launcher Pro
or QQ Launcher for the MIUI look
Zeam is the most simple, with good customizations + it has the smoothness a launcher should have...worth trying
Hi guys I tried zeam launcher for the first time. As you say is very simple and light... but it seems to have some lag in the app drawer especially in horizontal mode, don't you think? Also tried QQ launcher but too laggy too... what about adw launcher EX that's completely different from adw launcher in cyanogen?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
GO Launcher EX is nice if you want speed, nice animated widgets and miui like interface. LauncherPro is still the fastest but its not updated a while so my opinion is if you want free good launcher try GO Launcher EX...
Launcher Pro is still a good choice if you want a stable and responsive launcher. There haven't been any updates for a while, but on the other hand it's quite finished and there's not much left to be desired.
Hmm, see even though I have LP Pro (all fully paid for) I dont use it. I find Go is Much smoother for me.
Espier Launcher FTW (though the iPhone look may piss some hardcore Androiders)
Herpderp Defy.
I use the Arc Launcher v2 posted by slither2006
It's just fast and the built-in folder management is quite useful.

C'mon.
What is your favourite Launcher? != Which launcher do you prefer using cm7?
I don't think so. Unless you can disprove me, this is beyond idiotic...

Totally agree. Go Launcher works better than LP on your rom, even though it's just a little.
