Whwenever I hit home key I get Launcher and TWLauncher to pick from. Just wondering what's the difference between the two?

If your looking at system apk's, launcher is stock AOSP launcher, TW = TouchWiz/ Samsung...

Launcher is very basic, TW is more graphical. Most of us have gone to third party launchers like Launcher Pro, Zeam, or ADW Launcher.
On top of what they said, Launcher is also, for us, the Sprint iD launcher.

Touchwiz is a rip off from the Iphone and it scroll from left to right. Laucher is more android like and it scroll up and down. Touchwiz is not compatible with Density changing programs and launcher is. If you want your phone to feel more like an Iphone use touchwiz but if you want the android feel use launcher. I personally use launcher pro plus.
For me I love go launcher ex

Nova. Because it works on ICS and I can swipe my icons to launch applications.
ADW Ex because I paid for it.
Go Launcher EX. Endless customization... Used Zeam and ADW for the longest time prior.

Right now Nova prime because of the gesture swipes and app drawer but I still like to use ADW EX because of how easy it is too customized

Thirded on the Nova launcher. Because I'm on ICS, but also because it's more featured than trebuchet or touchwiz, but faster and more nimble than apex.

Apex...
Extended Dock Feature...Which I like Next is Go Launcher... And then ADW EX...
All three are loaded on My Roms...Apex runs the best...IMHO...But I like all three...
Touchwiz, still haven't found anything faster. Love go launcher but it still lags on the app drawer.

ADW EX.cause thats my choice

Nova Prime set to hide status bar with swipe and same with open app drawer. Then my ADW EX set to hide dock and status bar with swipes. I use Home Switcher to go between the two. I love them both on ICS

I'm still rocking Launcher Pro Plus. For me, its faster the GO Launcher and far less battery drain.
I tried ADW, but whenever I show my phone to somebody who isn't an Android geek ,they manage to screw something up like making the app tray vanish.
I'm still waiting for a *true* daily ICS ROM that I don't have to put up with app install issues or dramatically poorer battery life than GB, so I haven't tried Nova or Trebuchet.
has anyone tried the ported launcher from the Sony Xperia S its kick ass
running CM9
adw ex; i like apex, but adw is faster. nova not as configurable as either (no swipe up/down)
apex, you can use 190dpi and adjust the margins to use the entire home screen.

Hey,
I'm currently using the stock launcher.
What do you think is the best launcher for G9?
I heard about Nova, Apex, Go, Trebouchet, which one do you think is the best?
I'm using ADW and love it.

Hi All
it's been a while that I've been testing different launchers both on my galaxy s2 and archos g9,
Here are some of my thoughts:
Go launcher HD - very beautiful and quick launcher, many customization and the brilliant feature of creating hand gestures!!!
Although medium amount of screens and icons per screen, but all in all it's my current launcher on the tablet.
Apex launcher - it's the heavy duty, the real deal for all the professionals out there - tons of screens and icons per screen,
A lot of customization, many ways and styles to scroll the screens (advantage over others), but lacks the creativity of go launcher's learninggestures. In conclusion - super pro but medium graphics... it's my current launcher on galaxy s2.
Nova launcher - disappointed of this launcher, it's a lame copy of other launcher. Medium features, medium graphics and creativity.
Stay away of this.
The verdict would be go launcher HD for tablets - beauty and power :angel:
Go launcher HD +1
I use Go Launcher HD.
I just wish I could apply a theme (transparent) to the GO Calender Widget. Otherwise it does exactly what I want from a launcher.

Apex
I love Apex launcher due to his tweaks. Definitely try it.
So after your recommendations - I did installed Go Launcher.
And I think it has the advantages over other launchers.
Many cool widgets
Cool Application list
Very iOS like behavior
So for now, i'm sticking with this one.
I was using go launcher on my archos and my galaxy s2x. Both were slower, with more crashes using it. Went back to stock and smooth as butter again. Its just extra bloat and using resources that could be used better in the running of the system.

I want to see if anyone else finds the app trays too crowded. Can this be edited on the prop build or something
You can download another launcher and change it there.

I recommend Holo Launcher. It's exactly the same as the stock launcher, but it has much more options and customisability.. including app drawer options and transitions and stuff.
It looks way too empty with 4x4 rows though in my opinion:
Nova launcher let's you do this. I switched it down too as I also felt it was too crowded.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
nova, apex, go, I think almost any third party launcher will let you do it.
Pretty much what everybody else said. If recommend nova or apex.

Looking for some opinions.. I've always used Go Launcher EX and recently went to Nova. I love all the different "scrolling effects" you get with GLEX. What's everyone's favorite? I will try them all out as FREE versions but if I was to go to a paid version which one do you like the best?

TSF Shell
Hands down the best launcher till date. I was into Nova Prime before but TSF takes the launcher experience to a whole new level. Agreed that the price is a little steep, but it's totally worth every last penny.

Mark me down for Nova Prime
Just switched from Nova Prime to Action Launcher Pro. Both are definitely worth checking out.
Nova for me
Nova Prime. It just works, customizable and super fast.

I'd have to say nova prime but Themer has been really nice as well so my opinion may change as it progresses and adds more features.

Next Launcher and Go Launcher Ex are the best launchers thus far, with tons of features and customizations...... My only other two choices if I can't use Next or Go Launcher would be TouchWiz or Nova Launcher....
Nova
My Favorit launcher is nova.
U can do a lot of Weeks an fiddle around with it
I really like go launcher's ability to set random transitions, but I;m not a fan of it in general. So now i just use nova prime. Any other launchers with randomized transitions?
I pretty much live by Nova I always use it... I've tried others and nothing matches up
Starting to look at Aviate..not too bad especially for a beta.
Even everything.me launcher is pretty good.
Holo Launcher HD

I'm not much for the launcher game so adw and adw.ex had been my launchers of choice all the way from my Samsung Moment days (spring 2010) to about a month ago. But then I found Apex.
I've used them all -- Helix, LauncherPro, 7, Go Launcher, Holo Launcher, Nova, ICS Launcher+, SL Launcher, Themer, a launcher that currently loses me on the name that had no actual home screen, Regina Launcher...you get the point. Right now, Apex is my launcher of choice. Themes I've used from day one of ADW still work, and I think it's speedy and well executed
