I agree, go launcher is awesome very customizable. and if you want widgets get color widgets in the market for facebook, contacts etc.

Im using the ADW with the ICS icons.

This is a massive bit of personal opinion war waiting to happen. Personally, I've used lpp for awhile now and have tried the others but never been really satisfied.

Launcher Pro Plus! Great Widgets...

Try the sony ericsson 4 corner launcher. I use that one.

I'm using regina. Give it a shot.

I really like Launcher Pro's option to hide apps from the drawer but like options from other launchers. Is there any other launcher that can hide apps?

Getting ready to try Lpp now. Thanks for the replies.

GO launcher is the first I've tried, but I really like it. It's very customizable.
I still have to try out the others... But I've decided that landscape and slick animated transitions are must-have features for me after using GO launcher.

I was a long time user of Launcher Pro but recently switched to go launcher. It really can do everything LPP can do and more. Widgets are.... different.... I don't think one has a widget advantage on the other but I'm sure many will disagree with me. Go launcher has plently of easy to assemble custom themes where launcher pro you really have to change things manually. Go launcher lets you do that also. I felt Launcher pro ran smoother on my evo4g but on my gsII go launcher runs awesome

sorry Zeam launcher is the best in my opinion, very sleek and it has just enough options to make it great.

Can I get a hell yeah for WidgetLocker? One of the best apps ever, period.

Wave Launcher
WidgetLocker
LPP FB Widget
Minimal Reader Pro
MIUI Evolution Reload Clock
Minimalistic Text
Desktop Visualizer

just a quick reminder here guys before it goes out of hand
no warez in XDA
only legit links to legit market places, like Android Market, Amazon Market, Getjar, and... errh... forgot the name of that other one that looks really dodgy but is legit

yea i use it too very good stuff

I also prefer Swipepad over wave launcher. I really wanted to like wave launcher, but it kept getting in the way of other actions, like the dockbar shortcuts and sliding the notification bar back up.
Is there a way to change from where it launches, like you can with Swipepad? I couldn't find the option.

ADW Launcher is Back

Remember ADW Launcher from Donut/Gingerbread days? It's back!
ADW Free: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.adw.launcher
ADWEX: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wsMSwxLDEwMiwib3JnLmFkd2ZyZWFrLmxhdW5jaGVyIl0.
Going to give it a try and see how it does when paired up against Nova & Apex.

Holy s**t, I gave up on ADW ages ago and jumped to Apex... I'm going to have to give it another shot and see how it compares. Thanks for the heads-up.

It's been a long time I haven't used ADW...
It looks good, I've been playing with screens and settings for 20mn... it feels like home, but better.
The best feature Apex desn't have is changing icons size... Just for that, I could forget Apex and stick to ADW (why creating 128x128 icons when Apex resize them to some tiny half sized icons ?!!)
I've encountered some few bugs (I guess) with theming dock.. nothing important though, as I usually get rid of it and go for full screen
Adding widgets pop up is amazing.. think tablet mode.. 2 panels with previews.. that's trully sexy.. <3

Then don't use it, simple as that. No need for the unnecessary language.

cant use adw on my gnexus ;o instant crash when im going into adw settings...running JB Milestone 1..
really annoying =(

Looking good, the only thing I don't like is the auto adjust dock bar, I mean we can't put for ex. 3 icons on the left and have the right side free.

I wonder if they'd replace Trebucket with ADW as they did back during the CM7 days when ADW was the default launcher.

That will be nice. Trebuchet is good but I think that we can do more things with adw. I have some hours with the new adw and works really nice to me and my cm10..XD
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

Did ADW ever go anywhere? They brought ICS style like months ago..before I got my Nexus I remember trying it out. In fact pretty sure I was running ICS at the time on my Xperia, so it was my first choice since it had the ICS look and Launcher pro didn't.

I don't particularly like it more than Nova, but at least I don't present my own opinion in such an unpleasant manner. *sets tea down
Jolly good to hear ADW back in business though! Now where did fedrico go..

The revamped ui is AWESOME!! And its super smooth!! Awesome stuff!!

Just as icons, double tap on any folders, and a pop up appears to delete or edit it.. choose edit and rename..

Sg3 4.2.2 protected by UAG case .....

Thanks for the heads up man. Very cool launcher. Anyone figure out how to add additional screens though? Most themes only come with 1 or 2 screens and I like more than that for my widgets.

I just found this launcher today. Still figuring it out. But I think it is using quite a bit if memory. Pretty cool easy theming though without relying on uccw. I did add screens but it was by accident so I do know it is possible.

Very good launcher I would say it beats all launchers out there but it eats 144 of ram on my note 2! So I can't imagine what it would do to devices with less than 2 gigs of ram! Anybody having same issues????

If you bring up the launcher settings, click on upload. That will bring up a "normal" home screen manager" that also lets you upload your homescreen

Note 4 home screen setup

What's up everyone! Hope yall love your note 4 as much as I do. I'm curious about how your setting up your homescreen. I really don't know where to begin as I want to take advantage of this screen and have something great to look at. Post your homescreen here.

Here's my home screen for now. I use nova launcher and ultimately I'll be changing the amount of rows and columns but I don't know what else to put on there yet!

I much rather wait for root too be enabled before this phone really is optimized. It's really missing this. Badly, i had root with my note 3,fully awesome. I had all the best of the note 4 apps, the s5 and the other apk files, I had hooked up. No custom rom. It's just lacking at the moment. The note 4 is super besides that. I'm running GO LAUNCHER EX, cherry g pro icon Pack. Its dry up awesomely. Yes I paid the 20 bucks to unlock all the features, even for the GO LOCKER.
