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 use launcher pro, its smooth and gives great customization

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

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.

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.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
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.
Okay, I've tested many costum launchers. And I just cant decide until now which launcher is the best.
I know that each of the launchers has it own + and - .
But please share here your experience on costum launcher, and which launcher is the best. To help me decide which costum launcher that should I use.
At the moment I'm using adw launcher ex.
Which is sometimes laggy and crash.
But I like the fully costumizeable features.

Now I'm using stock launcher, but I've also used GO Launcher EX long time (~ half a year) on my Xperia X8.
And it has many features like:
∞ Homescreens
GO Store
GO Themes
GO Widgets
...
The only thing I disliked about GO Launcher EX was the app drawer.
I think Go Launcher EX is very good and customizable but in design I prefer the stock launcher.
I use LauncherPro Plus
Fast, smooth and stable and customizable. I like it over Go Launcher.
And compared to a stock Desire Z with Go Launcher the Arc @ 1.4GHz with LauncherPro Plus flies and makes the Desire Z looking super slow and sluggish. Well, it really is, just even more compared to our awesome Arc
I like it

All launchers listed above are fast and highly customizable but, you will have a BIG surprise IF you like Sony's widgets (like I do), e.g. Music player, Picture frame, Timescape or Weather. They simply do not exist!
I've tried most launchers, the ones I remember: adw/ex, launcher pro, spb shell, regina3d, rocket launcher, miui, ics, honeycomb, go, zeam, helix, kite, crazy home, panda...and several others. Adw ex is the custom one I prefer, don't like go, lpp is good, rocket is good but weird, spb is v good but not really themable, regina is similar to spb, zeam is the lightest/fastest etc. Ironically, been using the se home, especially since the 7 screen 5*4 mod. Don't need more than that myself, and with dvr it's as themable as I need.

LauncherPro for me too.

Try Hi Launcher
Just thought I'd ask what your favourite Launcher is and why. Been playing around with different Launchers over the last few days and I've found that Nemus Launcher is the best one due to 4.5mb RAM usage!
I always used launcher pro because it runs really smooth. After switching to ICS i am now using the stock launcher.
Even without updates launcher pro is working with ICS but you can't use the calender widget. LP will crash immediately.
Nice! I'm still using Sebs sense 3.5 ROM. ICS is too buggy for me to use as a daily driver. Nemus Launcher is very light on resources and therefore more free RAM compared to sense
Stock / Launcher Pro.

Launcher Pro even though I'm not very satisfied with it. It runs really smooth but has some bugs and crashes sometimes. When CM9 is out I'll probably use Trebuchet.
I like the Go Launcher. It has some nice customizable options, and I found a real nice theme to go along with it.
Definitely Go Launcher Ex. Lots of options to play with, and very theme-able.
ADW with ADW.ICS Sqrd Theme ... I love it !!!!!
I loved ADW but now I'm using stock ICS launcher.

I use the market ICS Launcher.
Only google's default ICS Launcher works better. They make it possible to put more than one app in every launcher button.

In my opinion Go Launcher uses far too much RAM - 37mb! And I don't like Launcher pro, too basic in my opinion
LauncherPro, the fatest!

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

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.

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
I'm trying to work out which home launcher is better.
I paid for nova launcher prime. Also got Go Launcher. Also looking for good themes and icon packs.

Go launcher sucks. I would stick with Nova. Go launcher is bloated slow and ugly lol. Just my opinion though.

No contest, Go is made for crappy 2.3 devices
It should be Apex or Nova not Go.
Go Launcher's pure of crap.
OK I'll use nova. Just looking for some good themes and icons.

I love go launcher ex. Sure when you first load it you have to dump all the widgets, but so what? Works awesome once it's set up. And it's free, along with hundreds of free themes.
NOVA > all period ! and the go launcher themes works with nova ( lest the ones i tried )
One more for Nova I think is the best launcher for our Nexus phones I use it first time on my Galaxy Nexus and stick with him until now.Go is slow and eat many rams.

I prefer nova because it is lean and uncluttered. Go launcher is made for Gingerbread or something and annoys me with all those other Go apps they advertise for (Locker, keyboard, wallpapers, task manager, widgets etc.). For me a launcher should be built upon the AOSP one, otherwise it destroys the experience.
However, there is one big difference: Nova only supports icon themes, whereas Go can be themed entirely. (drawer tabs, dock separator etc) But you can achieve such theming level in Nova by installing themes for the Tmobile theme chooser which is integrated in every decent custom ROM. If you do that, not only nova, but the whole framework and many apps are themed too.
AW: Go Launcher Vs Nova Launcher.
I don't like the icon order in Nova, I have Nova and Apex , Apex is my favourite .

It was updated a couple of months ago and is very good now
I have bouth nova pro and Apex Launcher Pro and i think nova is a little bit faster, because when i wake up my device and scrolling throw the windows, i have some micro lag (Nexus 4).
Nova is by far my favorite, I haven't use go launcher since I had my Nexus S. For fast and an AOSP like experience I'd suggest nova.

I'm gonna have to say differently, I love Go Launcher, always been one of the best launchers on Android because it bring a unique and extreme customization to Android. Nova is a awesome launcher if you intend to run a pure android experience but with tons of customization. I have always gone back and forth from Nova and Go but since Go Launcher had an update to their UI last year I have been reporting a specific issue to them but they still have yet to fix this issue, so until they do I will not use it as my daily driver. I do have hopes that they will someday.
I find Nova less smooth than the stock Nexus launcher tbh
I tried them all and using Apex now. Never had any problems and its packed with features I use.
