Been searching for a good launcher for my Archos 70. I tried both ADW and Launcher Pro plus. They both worked good for me. But then i found the Go Launcher it works very well for me,smooth and fast. And it has a built in task manager. It has no widgets
yes the go launcher is the bet right now.
I use it on my 70 and my desire.
I also talked to the developers and metioned so bugs and requested some features and by what the told me some cool things will come up in version 2
Just loaded this up. Being a LauncherPro user I was hoping for a lot and I got it. Best launcher I've played with thus far. Wish it had 7x7 grid support though. Extremely fast.
Try requesting it .maybe they will do that
Had a quick look at the feature list, a few screenshots and a video... What makes it better that LauncherPro? In some ways it looks like a iOS-ripoff and I really hate that (ie Samsung's TouchWiz UI...) I see no need for a task manager/killer.
Looking forward to the first launcher that's 100% made for tablets... Haven't found anything like that yet. Maybe when more people buy tablets, and when Honeycomb shows up in more detail.
Tried it on the archos 101 (firmware 2.0.71) but found it laggier than launcher pro and zeam.
Never tried to launcher before. Coming from launcher pro and now using zeam launcher. It lean, mean and extremely fast. Try it...
im using this launcher for 4 days, and i must say i love it, just uninstall launcher pro. This is so fast love the task manager in main menu. You have my support thanks a lot.
I've been trying to get this on my archos 101 and I can't get it from the market. It doesnt come up when I search for it. I can't get any launcher to come up for that matter.
You'll have to do the market fix.
Try the search for finding it then you will find a lot more Apps.
how do we go about doing the market fix??
i'm having the same problem with not seeing apps in the market
thanks
ADW EX
Anybody tried ADW EX yet?
It's basically a fancier version of the stock ADW, very smooth on my phone (Archos yet to arrive)
Grid up to 10x10 too...
Interested in seeing how this works on the Archos family.
I switched to adw ex. ATM go launcher has some annoying bugs, but I'll watch out for further updates.
I especially like the new mainscreen transition animations on adw ex., and without wallpaper scrolling the animations look smith and nice.
I used LauncherPro, but lack of grid support is annoying when you want to place widgets.. just shifted to Zeam launcher. it supports 7x7 grid and is quite smooth too..
but both have an issue when waking up or coming back to home screen from an app..the screen stays a bit towards the left due to archos buttons and returns to normal only after you swipe at it a little..
That is not a problem of the launcher but of the archos itself, because even the stock launcher has this issue

There's a thread over on ArchosFans that says if you make the first home screen or the next-to-last home screen (when using more than 3 screens) will fix that problem. Haven't tried it yet as I just read it and my tab is at home, but several say that it works in LP & Zeam.
I have been using Zeam launcher for the last 2 weeks, its very fast and feature packed, definately more stable on my 101 than LauncherPro (which runs well on my HTC Desire).
Give it a go.
cant post a link yet...sorry
Zea
Tried Go, ADW, LP & Zeam...love Zeam...
I tried several launchers on my Archos 101. Go launcher ex can only provide a 5x5 grid what makes it kind of useless for a ten inch screen. So i'm back at zeam as well. I'm still waiting at a launcher specifically for tablets.
Zeam is the daddy

I need a launcher that is very customizable like ADW or GoLauncher. I tried both of them and for some reason they both had the same problem; when the screen rotates to landscape it jumps to the far right screen instead of staying on the screen I'm on.
Does anyone have any good launchers that are working properly on ICS? I also tried Nova launcher but its not customizable enough. I'm going to try launcher pro now and will report back if it works.
OK so I tried LauncherPro and same problem. This led me to investigate and I beleive I narrowed it down to the calendar widget. No matter what screen I'm on, when I rotate screen it automatically jumps to the screen with the calendar widget. Annoying...
you gotta give devs some time to adjust to the screen/ics etc. I would play around with the current flashable ones and wait for a major update that brings lots of customization options
ps have you tried adw ex?
I use adw ex.works flawlessly.I prefer stock though,its awesome!

Go works fine.
Go has always been my first choice. However, now with the Gnex and having folders pop down from the Top of the screen has made accessing apps really difficult with one hand. Because of that one issue, I went to Adw Launcher. That works great too.
Been using ADW Ex since day 1. Working flawlessly
After using ADW it's impossible to go back to anything else....
Ultimately I'd like the stock ICS with rotation and that stupid Google search removed but until the mods on here have their bugs ironed out I’m using GO.
My only bad point on GO is scrollable widgets you have to pause your finger on them a sec then scroll. (Is there a setting in there to fix this?) I like the stock responsiveness where you can swing between screens and flick apps around instantly.

I started using it on day 2 . With only one home screen, one clock, one weather widget, a 5 icons dock and three folders, I'm done.
I'm using Nova launcher, it's stock with a very nice twist.
GO completely locked me up and caused reboots to the point that i had to reimage back to stock.

Another Vote for Nova
I really like the ICS experience, and Nova allows me to keep that with options (including backup via Titanium & homescreen rotation)

Yup, been using Nova since last night. Takes something good and makes it great.
I used LPP on my OG, DX, DX2, RAZR cuz no matter what I did the stock Moto launcher was always a bit laggy. I kept the modded Rosie on my TB cuz it looked lol. And Nowthe GNex ICS launcher was almost perfect to me until Nova came along

Caveat: This is by no means meant as a disrespect to the amazing devs behind ADW, LP and Go EX.
when I got my hands on the GN, i was hooked on to the Android 4.0 look and feel. Previously alternative launchers were needed because (a) Android used to be ugly and (b) stock widgets sucked.
All that has changed now. I cannot bring myself to use anything but the stock launcher. However, I WILL like it if (a) I can utilize the space occupied by the stupid Google widget - its not a widget at all but a shortcut, a complete waste of space and (b) homescreens would be increased from 5. All those wonderful widgets need more space.
I don't want to root, although I have a feeling CM9 will have what I am asking for. In the meantime, I am testing out Nova.
I think as we all know Nova Launcher just doesn't play well with the Edge screen. I like having my Edge screen available to me at all times. Its why i bought the phone but with Nova, it blacks it out.
I don't have a rooted or custom ROM and I don't have the time now till winter to play around with the phone. Is there any app that will let me have a scrollable background?
Since no one could tell me, just got a bunch of people viewing, I found the solution. I downloaded an app called landscape wallpaper. It allows for scrollable background. Only reason I ever used Nova launcher. Now that they dont' care enough about the Edge phone, screw it. TouchWiz 4.4.4 does Edge better than anything else out there
I have the Apex on my Note 7
After i install Themes all the icons change
But the Phone Icon does not change
can anyone Help Plz
this launcher hasn't been updated since 2014. may have something to do with it.
Swap to Nova. Much better, and works perfectly.
Apex and Nova used to be fairly cloneish with almost exactly the same feature set. It is as pointed out already, abandoned. Nova is a good rec, also for something a little different you might try Action Launcher 3, it plays well with edge devices since it has pull outs from the side and you can still keep your edge pullouts. I used to use Nova but switched over to AL and after getting used to blinds and shutters I'm unable to go back. Not quite game changers but they greatly increase your options when you lay out screens. Combined with the scrolling bin and custom pull out page you've got something just a little bit more than your mothers launcher.
So many functions in Apex are Free
& in Nova have to get Paid version so not worth it

Yes its old but worked fine on S7 Edge
I picked up my replacement Note 7 yesterday and set it all up last night. Downloaded all my apps and set my home screen up. I use Google Now Launcher, and always have had the Weather & Clock Widget on my front screen. This worked just fine last night, and this morning after the update the widget disappeared. When I went into the widgets section, the only thing there now is just "Weather" which is a huge 5x2 widget that looks ridiculous IMO. The 5x1 Clock was so much better, and I'm wondering if anyone else noticed this when they did the OTA update this morning.
I know that this used to be common to have these widgets disappear when you download a new launcher, but the Note 5, S7 Edge, and Note 7 all worked just fine with this setup. I may have to go back to touch wiz and just put the google now widget on a screen to the left of home, but I'd love to be able to keep the now launcher.
Thank you!

I got the same issue. Hope there is a fix as I prefer the 5x1
I may go back to touchwiz for a while until/if it comes back to now launcher. The one weather widget that is available is oversized and just an eyesore.
Never mind, thought you were referring to different widget..
