Go launcher

Been searching for a good launcher for my Archos 70. I tried both ADW and Launcher Pro plus. They both worked good for me. But then i found the Go Launcher it works very well for me,smooth and fast. And it has a built in task manager. It has no widgets

yes the go launcher is the bet right now.
I use it on my 70 and my desire.
I also talked to the developers and metioned so bugs and requested some features and by what the told me some cool things will come up in version 2

Just loaded this up. Being a LauncherPro user I was hoping for a lot and I got it. Best launcher I've played with thus far. Wish it had 7x7 grid support though. Extremely fast.

Try requesting it .maybe they will do that

Had a quick look at the feature list, a few screenshots and a video... What makes it better that LauncherPro? In some ways it looks like a iOS-ripoff and I really hate that (ie Samsung's TouchWiz UI...) I see no need for a task manager/killer.
Looking forward to the first launcher that's 100% made for tablets... Haven't found anything like that yet. Maybe when more people buy tablets, and when Honeycomb shows up in more detail.

Tried it on the archos 101 (firmware 2.0.71) but found it laggier than launcher pro and zeam.

Never tried to launcher before. Coming from launcher pro and now using zeam launcher. It lean, mean and extremely fast. Try it...

im using this launcher for 4 days, and i must say i love it, just uninstall launcher pro. This is so fast love the task manager in main menu. You have my support thanks a lot.

I've been trying to get this on my archos 101 and I can't get it from the market. It doesnt come up when I search for it. I can't get any launcher to come up for that matter.

You'll have to do the market fix.
Try the search for finding it then you will find a lot more Apps.

how do we go about doing the market fix??
i'm having the same problem with not seeing apps in the market
thanks

ADW EX
Anybody tried ADW EX yet?
It's basically a fancier version of the stock ADW, very smooth on my phone (Archos yet to arrive)
Grid up to 10x10 too...
Interested in seeing how this works on the Archos family.

I switched to adw ex. ATM go launcher has some annoying bugs, but I'll watch out for further updates.
I especially like the new mainscreen transition animations on adw ex., and without wallpaper scrolling the animations look smith and nice.

I used LauncherPro, but lack of grid support is annoying when you want to place widgets.. just shifted to Zeam launcher. it supports 7x7 grid and is quite smooth too..
but both have an issue when waking up or coming back to home screen from an app..the screen stays a bit towards the left due to archos buttons and returns to normal only after you swipe at it a little..

That is not a problem of the launcher but of the archos itself, because even the stock launcher has this issue

There's a thread over on ArchosFans that says if you make the first home screen or the next-to-last home screen (when using more than 3 screens) will fix that problem. Haven't tried it yet as I just read it and my tab is at home, but several say that it works in LP & Zeam.

I have been using Zeam launcher for the last 2 weeks, its very fast and feature packed, definately more stable on my 101 than LauncherPro (which runs well on my HTC Desire).
Give it a go.
cant post a link yet...sorry

Zea
Tried Go, ADW, LP & Zeam...love Zeam...

I tried several launchers on my Archos 101. Go launcher ex can only provide a 5x5 grid what makes it kind of useless for a ten inch screen. So i'm back at zeam as well. I'm still waiting at a launcher specifically for tablets.

Zeam is the daddy

What launcher to use?

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!

[Q] What is your favorite launcher and why?

I've been through a few launchers now and am still undecided as to which will be my daily driver. For a long time it was GO Launcher from the market due to the amount of options baked in for free, but it was just too buggy, so I plunked down some cash to try Launcher Pro and it was pretty similar overall, but the lack of a true home screen chaps my cheeks. Now I'm wondering (after seeing so many different screenshots of YOUR amazing setups on your Epic...) what Launcher do you prefer, and why?

ADW Launcher is my cup of tea. It is very customizable from docks, downloadable themes/icons, to the overwhelming setting options to make it just how you want it. The free version is by far superior to the other free launchers by offering more ways of customization. you could of course support the Dev by purchasing the ADW Launcher EX which jams a lot more into it. From a themer stand point the ADW is a very workable Launcher for changing things around to fit your needs for the said theme you would like it to be included in. As stated above though, once you settle into a Launcher that you decide to stick with, support the Dev by buying the full version for all their hard work in bringing it to your disposal.

GO Launcher EX. I have them all (LP, ADW and Go) . ADW is a mess when you start going into the menu's. GO Launcher seems to have taken the best from LP and ADW IMO>

ADW is by far the most customizable imo. I use ADW EX and love it. Some people swear by LP. Try them out and use what works for you. As said above support for devs hard work and time is always appreciated.

Touchwiz, to me its really clean and I can't seem to stray to far from it when I change launchers.
There is a "true" gingerbread launcher out now its pretty sweet that I am currently using though...

ADW for me as well. I have the paid version but the free version is still an awesome find. Lots of great features and customizable themes and icons. I've tried just about all of them and most have a lot of the same features, but I always find myself going back to ADW.

Up until about a month ago I was using adw (free), then I upgraded to Adw EX. It's fantastic. The only complaint I had with adw was the pretty horrible menu organization...Adw EX has solved that! I will say there are a lot of fru-fru options in EX that I don't use (like changing the animation on home screen scrolling) but the dev is super helpful, found plenty of themes and on adw ex, anything I've seen in the "post your homescreen" area, I've been able to recreate.
Oh, and only other thing I didn't like in adw (free) was the inability to ovelap widgets... can do that in EX tho

Launcher pro, I love the scrollable dock. It keeps my homescreens clutterfree.

Launcher Pro, the 3D drawer in this is stunning.

Launcher Pro. I love the smooth 3D drawer and the included widgets are actually pretty useful!

Ditto here. LP is nothing special (although pretty stable) and you have to pay for ADW to get the features and customization you get for free with GO Launcher.
I've had no issues whatsoever with GO Launcher. It's been stable, fast and has more options than I even know what to do with.

Sprint ID!...LMAO, J/K!!!....I'm TouchWiz for 4ever, LauncherPro is nice, but it doesn't have the widgets I like. ADW FC's and Crashes like a cheap paper airplane, GO is a close second.

launcher pro, clean and simple yet still alot of customizing available

I really like some of ADW's features but LauncherPRO's widgets are what keeps me using it, plus the developer is working on a complete rewrite of LauncherPRO to make it more efficient and lighter.

Interesting that no one had said anything about Zeam... Yes, it is light on features, but that also means it's light on resources as well (and I don't care how fast you overclock, lighter is always better for performance). Scrolling dock, gestures, and desktop resizing; simple and sweet.

I've tried launcherpro, adw, tw, and lately Go launcher ex. Right now I'm really liking go launcher ex. Clean, fast, stable, and features that I like.

Launcher pro plus for me. Like stated above, the scrollable dock and the included widgets you get with the plus version is nice. I downloaded a themed version that has all the widgets transparent with blue highlights and all the buttons at the bottom of the widgets instead of the top and they're also more finger friendly. Check it out there are other themed versions also. You have to buy the plus version to get full benefits of launcher pro IMO.

Launcher 7
Sent from XDA app with 2.2 powered Epic 4g

I just switched to adw after 8 mths of touchwiz because of cm7. Adw has tons of options. If it was fc'ing there is an option for wallpaper hack that is suppose to make it not fc. I love adw and will not go back to touchwiz.

Launcher Poll

What launcher do you preffer?
Links to try:
Stock - no comments
Launcher Pro
ADW Launcher
Zeam
VTL.Launcher
Other - please provide links...
To switch between launchers use Home Switcher for Froyo

I use ADW Launcher EX ... does everything I need, and allows me to make the UI almost identical between my A7 and my Evo (also running ADW Launcher EX)
I don't know if the "EX" part is important, but I am pretty sure there are a lot of features that are not available in the free version.

I use launcher pro plus on both my A7 and EVo because everything in it is customizable down to the memory usage.
Vtl launcher I'm starting to lean towards on the A7 because of the docking option, but its still in beta

VTL Launcher. for a while Launcher Pro was my choice @ one time but VTL has a much better look with task bar at the bottom, google search is in color...

ADW launcher with the free honeycomb layout and free honeycomb clock. Love the look and feel of ADW. Customizable UI and able to re size widgets like the eloblur.
Will test VTL tonight.
Update wish I could revote
VTL love it

I preffered Zeam. It doesn't have a lot of features, but i like speed and minimal design)
ps. Who chose "Other"? What launcher are you using?

HeLauncher is also a nice alternative, with scalable widgets for some, like Motorola Blur (semilike)

You must try the vtl if you haven't. Got a kick out of the android 7 too

i generally prefer zeam. been around a long time and has always been free. the scrolling bottom dock bar in vtbar is available in zeam as well, but not sidebars.
@dexter; you know if helauncher was ever updated to use the "back" button for exiting the apps tray/menu? it was always a sticking point for me that you had to use the "home" key, where every other app and launcher uses the back button. couldn't get used to that.

Anything that is ment for tablet and not for phone I lean towards, all the launchers above I have install at the moment include the one Dexter post but none look and feel better to me than VTL..

360 Launcher (translated version) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1345601

Why not make it a poll? That'd be easier to see with more and more people voting.

I use Nova Prime. Sometimes a little laggy, but the fact that I can hide aps plus the gestures control is a huge plus.

nova prime is awesome bt sometimes it reloads the widgets which is a pain...but 360 launcher is one awesome stuff!

Trebuchet & Apex are both nice. Apex causes little bit lag in my Arc, but works great

ok.. i looked for this APEX launcher that ppl recommended and... i can't download him in google play?~~ they said this application is not for my phone?! wtf? i need flash him or what?

do you like apex launcher ?

Trebuchet for me too.

-Trebuchet launcher has a nifty feature: A google search bar that sticks on all screens without wasting any widget space.
-Samsung Touchvis S3 is very smooth on ICS compared with stock.
-Go Ex is also good, lots of niffty extras (but a bug with Xperia bookmark widgets on ICS.
-Apex and Nova almost sama same, nice also but not so smooth scrolling on LT15.
PS. all lauchers can be used with on-screen-button (from 22dpi to 45dpi but the hang-up button will be covered on .431 firmware, so I went to settings in the phone (ICS) and chosed "hang-up with hardware button" and now its GOOD.
