Is it possible to make all icons rounded like it's done in MIUI ROM? Are there any mods, patches, kernels, themes whatsoever for this? I would like to have it for a sense HD ROM.
ADW Launcher EX
Launcher Pro Plus
Thank you guys for pointing me to the launchers. I found a free Launcher that includes this feature and has some other REALLY nice features too: GO Launcher EX!
Only drawback is, it doesn't support sense widgets...
I've been through a few launchers now and am still undecided as to which will be my daily driver. For a long time it was GO Launcher from the market due to the amount of options baked in for free, but it was just too buggy, so I plunked down some cash to try Launcher Pro and it was pretty similar overall, but the lack of a true home screen chaps my cheeks. Now I'm wondering (after seeing so many different screenshots of YOUR amazing setups on your Epic...) what Launcher do you prefer, and why?
ADW Launcher is my cup of tea. It is very customizable from docks, downloadable themes/icons, to the overwhelming setting options to make it just how you want it. The free version is by far superior to the other free launchers by offering more ways of customization. you could of course support the Dev by purchasing the ADW Launcher EX which jams a lot more into it. From a themer stand point the ADW is a very workable Launcher for changing things around to fit your needs for the said theme you would like it to be included in. As stated above though, once you settle into a Launcher that you decide to stick with, support the Dev by buying the full version for all their hard work in bringing it to your disposal.
GO Launcher EX. I have them all (LP, ADW and Go) . ADW is a mess when you start going into the menu's. GO Launcher seems to have taken the best from LP and ADW IMO>
ADW is by far the most customizable imo. I use ADW EX and love it. Some people swear by LP. Try them out and use what works for you. As said above support for devs hard work and time is always appreciated.

Touchwiz, to me its really clean and I can't seem to stray to far from it when I change launchers.
There is a "true" gingerbread launcher out now its pretty sweet that I am currently using though...
ADW for me as well. I have the paid version but the free version is still an awesome find. Lots of great features and customizable themes and icons. I've tried just about all of them and most have a lot of the same features, but I always find myself going back to ADW.
Up until about a month ago I was using adw (free), then I upgraded to Adw EX. It's fantastic. The only complaint I had with adw was the pretty horrible menu organization...Adw EX has solved that! I will say there are a lot of fru-fru options in EX that I don't use (like changing the animation on home screen scrolling) but the dev is super helpful, found plenty of themes and on adw ex, anything I've seen in the "post your homescreen" area, I've been able to recreate.
Oh, and only other thing I didn't like in adw (free) was the inability to ovelap widgets... can do that in EX tho

Launcher pro, I love the scrollable dock. It keeps my homescreens clutterfree.

Launcher Pro, the 3D drawer in this is stunning.
Launcher Pro. I love the smooth 3D drawer and the included widgets are actually pretty useful!

Ditto here. LP is nothing special (although pretty stable) and you have to pay for ADW to get the features and customization you get for free with GO Launcher.
I've had no issues whatsoever with GO Launcher. It's been stable, fast and has more options than I even know what to do with.
Sprint ID!...LMAO, J/K!!!....I'm TouchWiz for 4ever, LauncherPro is nice, but it doesn't have the widgets I like. ADW FC's and Crashes like a cheap paper airplane, GO is a close second.
launcher pro, clean and simple yet still alot of customizing available
I really like some of ADW's features but LauncherPRO's widgets are what keeps me using it, plus the developer is working on a complete rewrite of LauncherPRO to make it more efficient and lighter.
Interesting that no one had said anything about Zeam... Yes, it is light on features, but that also means it's light on resources as well (and I don't care how fast you overclock, lighter is always better for performance). Scrolling dock, gestures, and desktop resizing; simple and sweet.

I've tried launcherpro, adw, tw, and lately Go launcher ex. Right now I'm really liking go launcher ex. Clean, fast, stable, and features that I like.
Launcher pro plus for me. Like stated above, the scrollable dock and the included widgets you get with the plus version is nice. I downloaded a themed version that has all the widgets transparent with blue highlights and all the buttons at the bottom of the widgets instead of the top and they're also more finger friendly. Check it out there are other themed versions also. You have to buy the plus version to get full benefits of launcher pro IMO.

I just switched to adw after 8 mths of touchwiz because of cm7. Adw has tons of options. If it was fc'ing there is an option for wallpaper hack that is suppose to make it not fc. I love adw and will not go back to touchwiz.
I searched and could not find an answer. I am running Cyanogenmod 7.1 and have grown fond of ADW Launcher that ships with it. I noticed that there is a paid version, ADW Launcher EX on the Market. What I am having trouble finding is what the paid version offers over the version that came with CM 7.1?
Just compare regular adw launcher with adw ex. It has more features and is updated recently
Having trouble with AOSP? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1295702
I've been a longtime user of ADW and LauncherPro...I just recently switched to GO Launcher and I'm liking it a lot so far. Give that one a shot. Smooth transitions and low memory usage. Easy customization.
I believe that Anderwebs is only updating the Ex version (or updating it more frequently than the free version). You have the ability to change both the normal and hidden dock backgrounds with custom ones, screen looping, screen transitions, etc - if you don't already have those options. I haven't used it in a while because I've been using the default MIUI launcher, but it's my favorite launcher replacement by far - and I've tried most of them.
Check out Anderwebs site here and look through the changelog to see what features you don't have.
I strongly recommend buying it, if for no reason other than to support development.

Go Launcher EX already has those features and it is free. I love Go Launcher. OP, give Go launcher EX a try and see how you like it compared to ADW EX. Go Launcher is updated constantly and The Go Dev Team have GREAT products.
Hello all,
I've seen roms with ADW Launcher and Launcher Pro and Launcher 2 as a default or optional (built in, not an extra install) launcher.
Does anyone know of a rom with GO Launcher Ex as either the default launcher or an optional launcher?
Sorry I can't post a link to the Go Launcher Ex website as I'm a new user but they are in the Market and their site is golauncher[dot]goforandroid[dot]com
None that I know of. Its decent launcher, but probably not the most popular. It would simply take someone who likes GO to cook it into a ROM (and permission from the software developer, of course).
On the other hand, not really much point in cooking in a variety of launchers, when you can just install them yourself in a minute. In particular, it seems like a waste to cook in apps that get updated frequently.
ILWT CM7
ILWT CM7 has GO Laucher as optional launcher, default is ADW. And it is the best ROM ever for our Vision
