Nova all the way if you like to customize your screens with widgets. It has an option that no other launcher has... The ability to send a widget on the background and on top when you overlap two widgets.. Priceless! Also it supports big grid ( like 15x15)

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..!!

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!
always used sense but feel like trying some thing different
will have been asked loads but now we have JB, what are people finding the best launcher, icon sets, fonts

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

For GB zeam launcher is smoothest and very low RAM consume.,

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.
But i think is the lightest launcher which offers a lot of customizable

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

I Don't thing this question is allowed to ask
as it could start a fight
"The Best" depends upon what you likes & what you want
plz don't ask questions which starts with Best
I don't know may be you could ask some thing like "Whats your Favorite Launcher for S3?"

As was said before, don't ask for whats best as what someone else says is best you may hate. As an example, I use apex launcher and love it, but that does not mean its the best. Only thing to do is try them till you find one you like.

I really like Next Launcher. Try it!
Action Launcher is my favorite. It has a few never seen before features as Covers (an app folder in which tapping the first app in it opens the app, a swipe opens the folder) and Shutters (swiping up an app shortcut displays a widget). The devs give great support. Albeit it does have some stability issues now and then, I can't go back to any other launcher

I always liked Go Launcher and Nova Launcher, but then again it's a personal preference. There are some new interesting launchers though
If you are looking for the best ways to theme but still want the smoothness of tw launcher then you dont need a custom launcher. You can get away with installing Xposed framework then xposed theme engine. ( both found in the apps and themes section )
Then simply download your favourite theme or icon pack and install them through xposed theme engine and away you go mate.

I actually like the Atom launcher, and it runs smoothly on my S3. I'll just echo what the others said regarding personal preference. )
I used to have Nova Launcher all the time because of a certain theme from mycolorscreen. but now I use Smart Launcher. it categorizes all apps and I don't have to think about where to put all the app icons anymore
edit: also most launchers mess up the look of the homescreens when switching from portrait to landscape mode. smart launcher looks even better in landscape mode

once i got my hands on the s3 (my first smartphone yes) i used the stock launcher for a while but then got sucked into the world of theming and modifying the android platform. it started innocent with the go launcher series. got pretty sick of that fast as it drained my battery with the insane amount of addons for it that all keep the phone awake or something. then moved to nova but that couldnt 100% satisfy me then went to apex for a long time. last week i made a jump and started to try tsf shell (if you are willing to pull out a few bucks). cant really say wich is the best just personal preferences. each telephone has their own personality as it is a extension of you.
I prefer Action Launcher over other launchers. The app drawer and the shutters (swipe over an shorcut to open a widget) won me.
Nova Launcher
When looking for a launcher I always looked for the ones with the less RAM usage and as most of you have mentioned NOVA Launcher has the best performance on less RAM as well it is highly customizable making it perfect for a daily driver on my S3.:good:
Holo Launcher HD, good Performance and many options.
