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.

Not if you want speed, or light battery consumption.
I have used Go launcher and i keep coming back to LauncherPro because its so swift and fast.

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

+1 for ADW EX.
I'm using the stock MIUI launcher since I'm on an MIUI ROM. Also, how much smoother is ADW EX than the free ADW, because my experience with ADW has always been an awful slow lag-fest.
dxTop Pro, mostly because it was Amazon's free app of the day a few days ago.
i normally used go launcher, but it seems to be getting awefully bloated lately. i just tried launcher7 for the hell of it and im amazed, cool interface once you get used to it. and fassssst. giver a shot..its free..

Launcher Pro Plus, its the fastest (not most stable) launcher in my opinion.
I'm running CM7 and the default ADW is really laggy..
Launcher Pro Plus:
Zippy, and I like their widgets.
I was using adw since it is the launcher for cm7 but I tried go launcher ex and I love it! It's very fast with no lag at all. Tons of customization is available and I use android pro Widgets or apw in the market. Sense like Widgets. I highly recommend go launcher ex. It's free so it's worth a try. I think it's the best of the bunch. Just my two cents.
LauncherPro. It isn't really customized. I just have the Gingerbread dock to give my phone a pretty stock look. I tried the actual GB launcher and it was really slow doing screen transitions. So with LP, I have the look and all the quickness I need. I've also tried Zeam and Go and they weren't bad at all.

Posted by Mr. Z's Epic 4G Touch+Keyboard
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.
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.

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.

I prefer ICS Launcher, only Googles own ICS Launcher is better.
Hi guys,
I'm looking for some suggestions for a replacement launcher. I've been using CM7.2 on my wildfire for a while, and I love it, but the included ADW launcher is just a bit laggy.
I've tried Launcher Pro, and its almost perfect, except that it keeps giving me FCs, and its not been developed for a while now.
Lightning Launcher is supposed to be smooth and light, but I can't get it to work, just a black screen.
Zeam seems ok, but isn't quite as smooth as Launcher Pro, plus no scrolling widgets.
The things I'm looking for is something smooth and lightweight, and if it can support scrollable widgets, then even better.
Can anyone offer suggestions?
I used ADW... And it was OK then... Check your Over/Underclocking settings (This could make your phone smoother to run... You can use RAM Manager (from PlayStore) also to manage RAM. Cheers.
Buy ADWex or holo launcher is similar.if you search around there is a thread of all launchers.
MokeeOS
ok, as for my overclock / underclock settings, I'm running stock speeds, and using the SmartAssV2 governor. My aim is to make the phone smooth, and get a good battery life from it.
Is ADWex faster than ADW standard?
Try Nova Launcher or Trebuchet, I prefer Trebuchet.
Sweeterhome is also another!
I thought Nova and Trebuchet were for ICS+?

The right settings are the settings that work best for you/ the rom your using/your rom setup and your screen set up! So as you can see......it would be stupid of me to say "these are the right settings " because we all have our own preferences. Just play around until you find your best setup with any launcher you use.

+1 for ADW EX launcher,used to think launcher pro was smoothest but with ADW EX I can get that smoothness with right setting and loads of customization options,where launcher pro falls short.ADW EX is the best launcher IMO!
I only tried preinstalled launchers on roms (aka integrated) and I can say that ADW's the best :good:
