ADW replacement for CM7?

Well, I have to admit it that I dont like ADW launcher in CM7. I prefer much more simpler such like Gingerbread launcher. I found one but it kept FC on me. Do you know where to find one that is working properly?

I can't say I I have a gingerbread launcher apk, but "zeam" is a simple launcher in comparison to adw at least it has been to me in the past

It still falls along the line of a simpler launcher which is what the op is looking for.

I know i was just simply saying i remembered that back in 2010 haha. isnt AOSP simpler

launcher pro plus is worth every penny. LOVE IT.
you can try launcher pro the free version first..
beware of the other fake "launcher pro"'s out there though.

Go launcher works well

I'm currently using zeam, its excellent. Doesn't have the features of the others but its very fast and very stable. I haven't had it fc on me in 6 months.
From what I understand launcher pro has become rather bloated? What do you guys think?

I had Zeam on my phone for a looooong time. Gave up on it after a couple of bad updates that introduced lag and switched to LauncherPro. Despite having larger footprint, IMHO LP is pretty lag free and has the features that I want (scrolling widgets) as well as a way of saving the dock settings. Zeam kept crashing on my Epic, and there was no easy way to restore the icon spacing etc. settings. Granted, I never ran it on CM7 Epic, but still have Zeam as my choice launcher on my CM7 Nook Color. I also have ADW EX (the premium version of ADW) and feel that its interface is not very intuitive/somewhat clunky vs. both Zeam and Launcher Pro - but it is the most full-featured and customisable one of the three. Never tried Go Launcher but heard some very good things about it.

And another +1 for Go Launcher, although it seems like it's a bit too full-featured to be considered a "simple" replacement. I don't have any issues with the options, but I could see it being somewhat confusing for anyone wanting just a plain home replacement.

Am getting so frustrated!!! It's somehow gotta be my phone. I've cleared cache and memory and still they constantly crash disabling my phone!!! Any thoughts?

Try go browser. Its what I always use.

I like go launcher but I remember reading something from konane (I believe) and he said that within golauncher there was a similar service to carrier iq and that it sends reports (or something) to the developer with info about our phone. That is why most people inlcuding myself expirience poorer battery life with go launcher. Other than that I think Go launcher is the way to go!

Apex Pro on cm10/aokp because it can be themed pretty good, trebuchet on cm9 because I think it is a great launcher, the touchwiz one I modded with scrolling wallpapers on touchwiz because there is no point in running touchwiz unless you want the full experience.

I've found Nova to be the best since it's based off of the JB launcher. You can also rotate the screen into landscape mode while in the launcher which is a huge pro.

Apex can also be rotated into landscape mode When I had the gnex I was a big Nova fan but lately Apex has been winning me over. Also, the latest betas for Apex are based off JB. It really comes down to personal preference though.

GoLauncher EX here. Try it.....you'll like it! Very smooth. Never had a problem. Tons of themes.....many free. Check out "Cubed Theme".....my current weapon of choice

I find it funny that a lot of people are using a stock based ROM with a different launcher and claim their stock based ROM is the best, when every single ROM available has virtually the same tweaks in them. lol.

started with apex pro. didn't feel as smooth so i went with nova.

I've been using ADW EX for years and everytime I try a different one I go right back to ADW.

I'm rolling with Touch Wiz, the first phone I've ever owned where the stock launcher is very nice.

I don't want to flash because stock based ROMs don't offer enough improvements and new features to spend time flashing and reinstalling everything, while risking to brick the phone. I rooted the phone mainly to install AdBlock and Titanium Backup.
I run Go Launcher and Dialer One.
A question for those who went from Go to something else- what do other launchers have that Go doesn't?

Nova launcher prime ftw.
FTL launcher is good also .

My apologies I've never used scrolling widgets so I didn't know it did not work. As far as battery I have never noticed any extra drain by using different launchers.

Until UKB and Viper I was using CM10 and Apex Launcher was my go-to. It's got the persistent search bar as an option and also used my scrollable calendar widget with it.
EDIT: It's also free with the option to buy, which gives you more customization.

+1 on apex. I have a calendar widget that scrolls and it offers the persistent search.

I'm using the photo contacts widget and it won't work w apex. If you look on the market it says adw, go, etc ... any launcher that supports scrollable widgets. So should I assume the widget is at fault? Is there an option to enable it in apex that I'm missing?
Any of you guys have suggestions on a good contacts widget? I like the photo contacts one and have used it since day 1 but maybe its time to move on....

I haven't used it, so it's hard to say, but they don't specifically mention nova or apex. Wish I could be more helpful.

I've used nova, apex, and go, and I always seem to go back to trebuchet, I hardly ever use Widgets so its the cleanest launcher for me

Sure.
Not a big fan of the pop up menu in the new ADW. Would like to see it as optional. Also the transitions are a bit choppy even with some speed tweaks. Those were the only things I have noticed off the bat. I plan on playing with it more but will probably revert to Nova pending future ADW EX updates.

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

i use Nova with different icon packs. i also recommend SS launcher if you are looking for something different.

Personally I just found next launcher quite expensive but a pretty cool launcher and very polished

That's because it doesn't exist.
And why would you want it? There are not super special features of the touchwiz launcher. It's a pretty bare bones launcher. All teh features of the stock phone are built into the rom, not the launcher.

Because I like it. Same reason you want to use whatever launcher you use. I like the weather widget too, don't like any other ones as they just look like cheap imitations. I had one on the s3 but I guess nobody's made one for the s4 yet.

The widget adds ons aren't part of launcher. And those are even less likely to be ported.
What Im saying about other launchers is that TW is kind of basic so you could take a nova or apex and customize it to look just like a TW launcher.
But the widgets arent going to be available outside of touchwiz.
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda app-developers app

Yes it is possible, because I had the S4 launcher AND weather widget on my S3 running liquid smooth. It's just a matter of time before somebody makes one. I personally don't like any other launcher because they don't have that subtle smoothness that the TW launcher has no matter what you customize on them.
Also, nova and other launchers don't have the same transitions as TW.
