Best launcher for SGS2

Hi
What is the best launcher for SGS2?
1- GO Launcher EX
2- ADWLauncher EX
3- LauncherPro
4- Zeam Launcher
5- MXHome Launcher

My vote goes to Launcher Pro because I've been using it for a long time and I've grown accustomed to it. For a while I used Go and I liked it a lot but eventually I got back to LP.

I'm using GO launcher at the moment and really like it so far.
I've used LauncherPro with Litening 1.5, but ik kept freezing and force-closing on boot...

What's wrong with touchwiz?
I'm using touchwiz 4.5 and I'm very happy with it.

GoLauncher rulez._
On my previous phone (SGS) I used for almost 6 months straight LauncherPro and I was fine!
When I bought SGS II (2 months ago) I installed GoLauncher EX and I was stunned!!!
Of course I have also tried 99% of the launchers out there, so far.
None is as complete, smooth, revolutionary etc, as GoLauncher EX! Serious work is being made.
So my vote goes to extraordinairy GoLauncher EX.

Have you ever tried another 3rd party launcher dude???

Launcher pro gets my vote, used it on my hero and incredible, although that being said, the only other launcher i've tried is ADW and really didnt like it.
Can't say about the other launchers on the poll

I hate launchers with docks that have small icons. I like to use my phones with one hand and it's so hard to hit those small dock icons correctly everytime. ADW launcher is very flexible in this regard. You can even remove the dock altogether and put normal icons there and then make them %125 size, which is what I do.
What I really want though, is Windows Phone 7 like sliding launcher. I want just one single homepage with icons and widgets that slides up and down, but I want to be able to put more that 2 icons side by side, so WP7 clones don't work for me. Until someone comes up with something like that, it's ADW for me.

I think adb shell 3d is the best i have it and works perfect!!!!!

I tried all the popular launchers available, and for me touchwiz is the best. And I see lots of people who prefers using TouchWiz.

I use vtlauncher.. a adw version for tablets were u ..can choose were to place the menu bar.. i have two.. the main with telefon msg camera and browser at the bottom.. and a secondary at the left with the spanish tv channels of zatto

i´m using ZEAM Launcher... it is small, clean and very fast....

I have used LauncherPro Plus on my 5 other devices (milestone, sgs, desire z, o2x and the sensation) and was planning to do that on the sgs2 but once I got it, I found myself liking touchwiz so I've kept on using it.

Here.
I don't know TouchWiz is the best or not but definitely far better than the launchers mentioned here. I've tried Go, Launcher Pro and ADW, I didn't like any of them, had a feeling that they all are unfinished. Couldn't even set a wallpaper without Hazy background! But of them, ADW was the simplest and nicest, but still I am talking about choosing something from a worst list
All are my opinion only, don't take it personally as I didn't mean it that way.
Regards.

I've been using Slidescreen 2 beta.

Confirm.... TW4. 5 is very awsome and very fast
I love also Zeam launcher,simply,useful and light

About myself, Go launcher ex is the best, i feel with free with this launcher, beautiful, faster and flexible

TouchWiz
Hi There,
I've tested every single launcher and my choice is definitely touchwiz

I use Go launcher atm.. Tried ADW awhile.. But folder functions wasent wery pleasing for it. I know how to create folders but I get bugged out because the app stays in main app folder too..

[Q] launchers for cm7 other than adw launcher..??

hey ..
i just want to as that if there are more launchers for wildfire other than adw launcher..i m currently using cm7.1.0.1 stable and adw launcher..so are there any other launchers..if yes plz let me know and plz alos tell me how to flash them..
thnakss

They are available as installable APK's. You need not flash any launcher. Just download from the market, install, and press the Home key, which will bring up the launcher selection panel. Here, select the launcher you wish to use.
Pretty much all launchers will work with the Wildfire, except, obviously, the Sense Launcher (In CM7), and all 3D launchers like SPB Shell, Regina etc. Notable ones that work are ADW EX, Launcher Pro, Launcher Pro Plus, GO Launcher, Zeam Launcher etc.

Last I checked Regina worked, it worked slow, but it still worked

Also a couple I switch between for something different to adw are launcher7 and espier launcher both are very nice once setup.

thnxx everyone...all the launchers you have told are really good..!!

360 launcher works great for me...

i tried launcher pro and even paid for the plus version but GO-L-EX is the smoothest and i like the transitions. Especially sphere, i'm amazed by it.

[Q] What launcher do you use?

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.
Sent from my R800x using XDA App

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.
Sent from my R800i using Tapatalk

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 use launcher pro, its smooth and gives great customization
Sent from my R800at using XDA App

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

I was disapointed after i bought SPB, i loved SPB Shell and SBP Pocket + ect on winmo. But i expected more wigets and more sizes for them on SPB.

ADW Launcher EX. I was so close to switching to Go Launcher, but ADW udated with ICS styled folders
Sent from R800x

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.

[Q] The best home screen for Arc?

Hey Frnds,
I m looking for best homescreen replacement for my stock one. Currently I am using SPB Shell 3D.. I tried with many others but this is the one looks quite awesome with its 3D effects but it takes too much of memory so I am looking for some nice home screen.. Please help...

I would recommand adw launcher ex. i Use it myself and it's awesome. You can customize everything
Sent from my Arc S using XDA App

i have LauncherPro (free version) und you can also customizing everything. I tried ADWLauncher on my X10minipro, but for me LauncherPro is better. (on X10minipro AND Arc S)

LauncherPro Plus all the way

Go Laucher EX
I suggest Go Laucher EX. It's free, have lots of widget and the waterfall effect in menu is wonderful... I wonder if its possible to create that effect with other laucher? Give to Arc S a very cool look... Also you can custumise everything. For me is nº1

Hello, I test many launcher, I use adw launcher because it is on cyanogen, but I also tested launcher pro and also it is awesome.
Zeam launcher is a good choice for older phones.
Sent from my LT15i using xda premium

I use Go Launcher EX because of the widgets available to it, such as the twitter and facebook ones (which I much prefer to the SE homescreen).
Also, it has made my phone look more like ICS, when themed, without having to unlock my bootloader

Which launcher do you prefer using cm7?

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.

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.

has anyone tried apex launcher?i hear it is good...

I'm quite sure that Apex is ICS only.

ADW launcher is the best for me, simply and fast! I don't like Go Launcher, but I don't know why

Espier and ADW launcher are smooth enough for me

I prefer ICS Launcher, only Googles own ICS Launcher is better.
