I agree, go launcher is awesome very customizable. and if you want widgets get color widgets in the market for facebook, contacts etc.

Im using the ADW with the ICS icons.

This is a massive bit of personal opinion war waiting to happen. Personally, I've used lpp for awhile now and have tried the others but never been really satisfied.

Launcher Pro Plus! Great Widgets...
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA Premium App

Try the sony ericsson 4 corner launcher. I use that one.

I'm using regina. Give it a shot.

I really like Launcher Pro's option to hide apps from the drawer but like options from other launchers. Is there any other launcher that can hide apps?

Getting ready to try Lpp now. Thanks for the replies.

GO launcher is the first I've tried, but I really like it. It's very customizable.
I still have to try out the others... But I've decided that landscape and slick animated transitions are must-have features for me after using GO launcher.
Sent from my Galaxy S II using Tapatalk.

I was a long time user of Launcher Pro but recently switched to go launcher. It really can do everything LPP can do and more. Widgets are.... different.... I don't think one has a widget advantage on the other but I'm sure many will disagree with me. Go launcher has plently of easy to assemble custom themes where launcher pro you really have to change things manually. Go launcher lets you do that also. I felt Launcher pro ran smoother on my evo4g but on my gsII go launcher runs awesome

sorry Zeam launcher is the best in my opinion, very sleek and it has just enough options to make it great.

try the themes given by the devs who made the launchersyou can find a lot of themes on market for free

Themes are themes, launcher is launcher.
Launcher is the home app, for example touchwiz launcher in stock gio.
Cm7 themes are framework mods.

iLauncher or Launcher7 are the best!

Hello.
I've used Go Launcher first, then QQ Launcher and now ADW (included in CyanogenMod 7.2-GIO-KANG). My opinion is that every launcher had his specific and pros or cons. Try the most popular of them and use the one u like most. Because for me or other a launcher is great but for you might suck.
Best wishes!

[Q] STOCK 4.0.X Launcher on SGS2

Hi Guys.
Is it possible to use the original android launcher for the Galaxy S2 (ICS 4.0.3.)? If so, where can I get it?
Now TouchWiz is installed and tells me not at all.
Thanks to all

yes, and if it does not work after that, try to reboot your phone

Alternatively, you could just download the Nova Launcher from the market. It's also based on the AOSP Launcher, but more customizable. You can make it look and behave just like the stock launcher, though.
It feels a bit more polished than Trebuchet to me ATM.

I found ApexLauncher on Play Store. A little bit better as nova

afaik none of the three support folders or tabs (to emulate new pages in TW) in app drawer, so TW still has some use

Hello guys,
I tried apex and nova .. not bad, but not allow you to create folders in the app drawer: (
Unfortunately this is a big problem .. I prefer the theme golauncher ics (golauncher is free but the theme costs about 1.50 €).

Is there any way to transfer over the tw launcher used in the last few beta roms? I really liked the transition effect of it.

Zeam launcher is light
Sent from my GT-I8150 using xda app-developers app

For GB zeam launcher is smoothest and very low RAM consume.,
But for ICS i think Nova launcher is best, costumizable, and smooth

I'd say vire launcher. Cool transitions and works good on lower ram devices. Smooth on my g1

smoothest one ive ever tried is launcher 8 https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lx.launcher8&hl=en its fast and simple but won't b interesting unless ur into windows phone 8 style

Lightning Launcher
The installer size is only 198 KiB.

If you can stand with just basic features, and you don't give a f**k with customization, then Lightning Launcher is your best choice. (Links in pep's post, just above mine). It is said that it is Super-customizable. (However when I used ssLauncher I realized a super-customizable launcher should be no grids so I can determine what's the best for my screen).
But if you give f**k to those and you want to express yourself (or just take some from MyColorScreen) then you may want to try ssLauncher, even if in an instructions he/she instructs to use any launcher.

Well, LL is super-customizable alright... you can disable its grid, you can rotate icons and widgets, you can scroll any ways (left-right but also up-down), you can use labels instead of icons, and labels/icons can open a fully-customizable "surface" not just an icon-list folder...
What it doesn't have, is slick animations.

Apex or Nova are nice and customizable. And light to although not as light as Zeam or lightning launcher.

FTL launcher is nice! You just need a Sense 4 clock
Too much flashing! I'm blinded on my Galaxy W!

with ics or jb i would prefer apex. with all the things mentioned above, i think it's somewhere in the middle, balanced.

So far I think next launcher is the smoothest, but its lack if costumization

I do like launcher pro. Very simple, so don't have greatest "addons" in relation with the others. Very fast as well. I did like it between all I tried
