[Q] The best home screen for Arc? - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

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

[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...

[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 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

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] What is the best Launcher for GIO? Updated 18-2-2012

What would be the best/fastes Launcher for the GIO?
TouchWiz30Launcher seems to be my default on my 2.35 version (JonasHendrickx v3.1 rom) (There some modded versions of Touchwiz to. If anyone hase a link i ad it) This does not seems stable all the time when i turn on the phone. Lag. Mediascanner starts reading the sd and this can take a very long time. And sometimes crash the launcher. (A app called Rescan Media root from market can disable media scanner.)
Personally im looking for the fastest launcher for the GIO. I havent tested many my self yet.
Tested by me:
Default Touchwiz V30 works and looks oke. (Samsung's TouchWiz is quite a power eater i did read.)
Launcher Pro (Free version) Fast and basic. Anoying: The background picture turns black sometimes in the version that i used.
ADW Launcher i did test with (CM7) Fast and stable. Nice options.
This launcher seem nice to me:
Go Launcher link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1423043
ADW Launcher (CM7) Does have good options.
Sugested by forum users:
sgs II launcher = Ported by spacecaker.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1472318
Go Launcher EX = Most GO apps are cool and way better than stock samsung ones. This one seems very populair!
ADW Launcher (CM7)
Zeam Launcher = If you want other stuff and options you may use launcherpro or adw launcher ex
Launcher Pro = Has pretty basic functionality.
Balancer Launcher = Almost as fast as LauncherPro. it has some advanced tweaks and stuff.
360 launcher = Pretty and has nice themes and screenlocks also I love the images and video tab on app drawer. Also, folders on drawer is pretty neat as well. Only down side for some people, no landscape mode on this launcher.
MIUI Launcher =
Nytmarez tested: TouchWiz Launcher, Go Launcher EX, ADW Launcher (CM7), Zeam Launcher, Launcher Pro, and Balancer Launcher
He thinks the Laucher pro is the fasted one. Most others of the others seem pretty lagish on Gio is what Nytmarez thinks.
Please give me you're opinion on you're favorite launcher
In my opinion, LauncherPro is the best. It lags a little at boot (if you let your device be idle for a minute after boot, no lagging).
Also, if you are rooted, you can use app called Rescan Media root from market.
It can disable media scanner.

Color background has nothing to do with battery save on any display with backlight.
You have "brightness" in Settings/Display and that's all. If even one pixel must be of high brightness (clock numbers for example), the backlight will work at setted value.
It matters only for OLED displays.
Go Launcher Ex
Well gonna give my 2 cents about launcher as well
Personally I use 360 launcher on my gio. Found it while browsing SGT7 forum it's fast, pretty and has nice themes and screenlocks also I love the images and video tab on app drawer. Also, folders on drawer is pretty neat as well. Only down side for some people, no landscape mode on this launcher.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
I vote for Go Launcher Ex.
IMO most GO apps are cool and way better than stock Samsung ones.
I have tested the following:
TouchWiz Launcher
Go Launcher EX
ADW Launcher
Zeam Launcher
Launcher Pro
Balancer Launcher
IMHO for Gio, the fastest is Launcher Pro but it also has pretty basic functionality. Almost as fast as LauncherPro is Balancer Launcher and it has some advanced tweaks and stuff. All of the others seem pretty lagish on Gio to me.
I have GO Launcher. It seems to work as well as the default ADW does on CM7, but with more functionality.
And because I only have two pages, It doesn't seem to lag at all.
Go launcher EX
SGS II 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.
