try go luncher
well i would of suggested apex but since you do not want to try i tthen try nova or zeam
You won't have access to htc widgets on an alternative launcher. For widgets i use apw for twitter, calender and messages. Very nice.

Nova with APW and beautiful widgets combined is pretty close to Sense.

apex is far superior...you can't customize as much in nova...
if you have the paid version of apw, it even gives you a timeline widget better than friends widget...
beautiful widget is so much better than stock sense weather widget...i don't get ppl which are so fascinated by the sense widgets...personaly, I don't use any sense widget, there simply are better ones out there...
I just try Nova, my first feeling tell me that Nova is very very similiar to Apex? Any relationship between them?
Go launcher! ..or Espier Launcher(very fast)

They are both based off the stock ICS launcher, that's why they are so similar. I personally started using NOVA when it was beta/free and bought Nova Prime, but at the moment i feel Apex is superior, it simply gives you more customization for free.
I love Go Launcher as it allows you to create folders in the app draw. Apex and Nova about the same, but Apex allow the apps to be arranged in vertical scroll which I found more friendly to us than swapping horizontally.
However, my major issue with 3rd party launchers on One X is they have to be re-draw when exit an app once in a while. I guess it must be One X software issue as I've never experience this bug on other android phones.
I like GO Launcher, but not until I root my machine to remove the 3 dot menu, I will not use it.
GO launcher provide more widgets and themes, which is far better than other competitors.
You can try SPB Shell 3D or Yandex Shell. Both of them are same. Yandex Shell is free version of SPB Shell 3D.
Launcher pro app drawer is very laggy on one x

I have the adw ex and I was just wondering how do you get the original sense clocks to work with it? I seen on the market, on the adw screenshots, the person has original stock operational 2.3.3 sense widgets! I was just wondering, how do I go about doing that myself

Sense widgets can only be used in the Sense Rosie. There are other lookalike available in the Market though

Not really. ADW (especially the EX) is updated more often than Launcher Pro and has many themes! It has a lot of added functionality, but some people prefer Launcher Pro because of simplicity and widgets in the Plus version.
Launcher Pro hasn't really been updated in a long while, mostly because there isn't really anything to complain about. ADW EX used to be buggy in its first few releases, but it has become quite stable. I would try both of them, play around with them both. No harm in doing so
Launcher pro doesn't really have the ability to add themes though! I'm using it now and for some reason I can't even change the dock bar like I could with ease in ADW EX
Sent From KaoMinerva
Launcher Pro
Launcher Pro Plus has the LP widgets. They can be themed. There are theme packs that include a Sense-like clock widget
How do I get the dock bars?

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..!!

Hi
I recently shifted to the ADW launcher because of the unsightly HTC sense dock at the bottom of the screen. But then I am unable to access HTC sense widgets, like the music widget for example. I am aware that I have the option of getting a Pure Music kinda app to solve this problem. But I just wanted to know if there is any way of moving around the HTC Music Widget apk file (or any other file for that matter) so that it is activated in ADW?
I have seen the same (similar) question across a lot of different forums and the answer has always been "NO". But hope springs eternal
Thanks
ucannot have sense widget's if u move onto another launcher

You can't add sense widgets in another launcher, but may i ask you why do you use adw launcher instead of nova launcher or spex launcher? Adw launcher is so old, is made for gingerbread and froyo. Nova and apex are made only for ICS.

I guess I just grew comfortable with ADW over the years. Thanks for the suggestion, I shall try out nova / spex.
The result with Nova and Spex will be the same. HTC widgets work with the supplied HTC launcher only.
yeah that's true. But I don't understand why they have to be so microsoftishly possessive that it limits the users customisation needs. The lockscreen for example, I personally find their renowned "ring" quite blingy and there seems to be no way to edit it. So if i install MIUI locker to customise the lockscreen I occassionally have to deal with two lockscreens - first the HTC ring and then whatever else I have set. C'est la vie!
You cannot add sense widgets to adw but do not worry, use apw widgets, these look very similar to sense widgets...
Well as close as you can get without being sued by HTC ofcourse...

Nova Launcher and Apex Launcher are head to head usually. Both are excellent. You can also try Holo Launcher HD or the new Action Launcher Pro. Nova, Apex and Holo are all pretty much the same in terms of features, but Action Launcher is something new.
I use Nova Launcher as I got the paid version for 25 cents during the Google Play 25 billion apps sale. It's fast, works well and has all the features I need.
yeah but Nova launcher has some downsizes...isnt so customable has the others ..but the real benefit(Also) is the Battery..nova consume lowest batter of all launcher..so give it a shot because is a nice launcheer...and also u can try NEXT launcher..because is something different.
Im currently using Atom, on ICS i got better battery life than nova.

This tread will be better as pool but anyway
I use APEX
why dont u guys use SENSE LAUNCHER ? I like sense beecause it has alot of widgets..and if i change it with NOVA..or apex some widgets will dissaper

Personally I just found next launcher quite expensive but a pretty cool launcher and very polished

'Ive been looking for a good launcher, and i'm tired of looking on the Playstore. I currently have aviate, apex launcher and nova launcher free. I've looked on the playstore many times and i'm tired of the same stuff they have. Any unique launcher you cant get on the Playstore?
I had xperia home and the huawei, but didnt like either. Any good recommendations? Best not be any that require root or pushing to the system/ folder. I currently do not have root nor do i wish to.
Take a look to aviate. I'da been an apex user and it's good but I was searching for somethig different, simple, clear and with great usability. Then I was invited to Aviate launcher. And finally I'm happy. Look at some video on YouTube

Lightning launcher mate. It has options for vertical and horizontal scrolling on homescreen and each icon can be customized be an icon with or without label and has pinch zooming in the app draw and on home screen to. It takes a bit to get sorted at first but once you do its pretty cool. Really light to so no RAM used hardly.

I've always been stuck with nova, only launcher that has a unique look to it within the settings.
I'm trying to look away from lucid launcher. i really dislike the whole thing, no offence to the developer/developers.
Im looking for something unique, buzz launcher , aviate, and others dont count no go launcher crap
