[Vote] Costum Launchers.

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.

[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.

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

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.

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.

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

I'm quite sure that Apex is ICS only.

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

WFS: What launcher

Please advise the best launcher for WFS, considering battery consumption. I use this ROM: [ROM] EQDKP Sense 3.5 - GB2.3.5 idogx base - OC [m1ndh4x8r mod] and GoLauncher, but battery life is realy short (16 hours). Thanks.

The only reason your battery life is short is because of the battery in the Wildfire S....it's smaller than it's predecessor!!!
My friends wildfire lasts easily up to a day but my wildfire S is in the same condition as yours....So your battery pretty much ok in terms of its capacity

Use zeam or launcherpro.

I second the notion of using Zeam. I like it because it's light and does the job.

Try Nemus Launcher it's pretty good.

I tried GO Launcher, ADW Launcher and Launcher Pro and imho the best is Launcher Pro, it's faster and better looking.

The issue with Launcher Pro is that it hasn't been updated in over a year, so it's not really worth paying for. ADW Ex is more or less the same (the last update was a sham to give the illusion the app was still being actively developed during the android market promo in december), which is a shame. ADW Ex And LPro are about the same in the performance department, but ADW Ex does offer a lot more features such as a opaque app drawer. I never really liked the lack of padding the dock icons receive in ADW Ex (so I hide it), but it instead gives you a great amount of control over how the desktop icons are displayed.
The thing that really irks me about Go Launcher (other than the privacy scandals) is that you're always left with a gap for the desktop indicator, even if you hide it. So if you use a widget that takes up the whole screen, you're still left with an unsightly gap at the top.

You can try Launcher 7 - it is very good and fast launcher
