well a launcher is an application which provides you with the user interface. It is the homescreens, the dock, the appdrawer and all the aesthetics related to them are defined by the launcher application.

I support ADW Launcher..the best one..
I tried almost 10 different launchers..but found ADW Launcher is best..

Snap review of certain launchers tested on SGA
Personally used all these launchers on the Galaxy Ace
GO Launcher EX
Definitely a very good launcher lot of customisations comes with a lot of other plugins and theme packs and companion widgets like GO Contacts, GO Weather etc. Works well on the SGA doesnt consume too much ram and very responsive and best part a lot of options which other home launchers charge for, it provides for free.
Regina 3D Launcher
As the name suggests 3D like the SPB Shell 3D but free...fairly recent app so still some bugs a bit laggy on the SGA works better if you have fair amount of free ram and not as many widget support as SPB Shell 3D. Needs other companion apps for weather support. Has lot of potential.
Slidescreen
Been around for some time, completely different launcher only single homescreen with all your notifications including Facebook, twitter, SMS, appearing on one page...not very customisable...can be used as a side launcher with another main launcher...tested on SGA...no issues with speed. In one word Simple...maybe too simple for some
Zeam Launcher
Last...and the smallest in file size...less than half an mb..but not least in functionality and speed...consumes very little ram and highly customisable...and even has gesture support built in...inspite of being such a small size...works like a charm on the SGA and looks good too...my personal favourite...does what its supposed to do launch with not making you wait for it.

personally i prefer too the zeam launcher.

[Q] what is your favorite launcher? Why?

I'm just curious, as to what people think about these different launchers.
Me personally, have used launcher pro and go launcher. I recently used ADW, to me it just tried to copy go launcher with a different drawer and few different options. I favor go launcher the most, the options are amazing. I also like SPB shell add far a looks, but not many options.
I'm sure there are some that aren't popular, but good that I may want to try.

adw, it comes with cm7. lol.
I really, really, REALLY, want to like go launcher. but the text makes no sense. it shows up like
Code:
busyb
ox inst
aller
in the app drawer and its like wtf

I like Regina launcher alot like spb except free on the market.

Zeam 2.8.8, last update before developer decided to remove widget scrolling. Lightweight and reliable with a little extra functionality.

I've been using ADW since it came with CM back on my Nexus One and then moved to ADW Ex.
I love the extra hidden app drawer, scrollable widgets, and transitions between screens

Adw for me, was using it long before cm7. Good settings

I do jot have extensive experience with launchers. I don't like vanilla android launcher. I had the ics from acs for a few.
I always end up going back to launcher pro. I don't use many of it's options, but I like the home screen looping and the modifiable dock. Though on sure other launchers have those features too.
Sent from a secret underground bunker

I really like ADW EX because it allows you to change the icons in your homescreens and I wanted a vanilla feel. It also has a bunch of customizations. I loved launcher pro back in the day but I haven't used it in forever.

And now I see they have ICS launcher now on the market. So many ROMS, so many launchers, you could spend forever trying out these combinations.
I still feel like ADW copied GO launcher or vice versa. The only difference is the dock and the drawer.

Adw was first. Wayyyy first. And privacy problems with go...go is just a no...

Haha I've been a GO guy since I first downloaded it. Like an hour after release. Used less RAM than Launcher Pro and ADW and more than Zeam. It was really cool to watch it grow and become more and more comparable to them. Then it morphed into the mainstream, RAM guzzling EX that we all know today.
Using CM7 ADW now. Less RAM, snappier, and has the same functionality.

Zeam
1. Simple and fast.
2. Can customize home screen action binding for double-tapping home screen (Phone), swipe up (Phone) and swipe down (Open Notification)
3. Custom Home screen folders
4. Scrollable dock.

Most definitely Launcher Pro because you can customize the look and the widgets are awesome.

I LOVED Zeam until the latest update, which caused all kinds of FCs and freezes. Hopefully they'll get it fixed.
Until then, plain old TouchWiz for me. It works.

Vtl.Launcher @ 160dpi
Lots of options (7 rows/6 columns = ), docks everywhere, categories with swipe navigation, fast.

I like Launcher Pro and then Go Launcher.
The great thing about Android is you can us multiple launchers and not just one. If I want to impress my Iphone friends I go with Go Launcher. If for look I love the modified Launcher Pro with the glass scroll dock. I don't like the regular Launcher Pro but the modified Launcher Pro totally rocks.

Try Espier Launcher. Its an iPhone copy. Launcher7 for WinPho 7.

My first rom, TrInItY, came with Anarchy Launcher which I think they pulled but I love the cube feature so I've been running that ever since. very customizable with docks and the viper wheel I makes it easy to have a lot of apps easily accessible.

When I first started flashing Roms, I got hooked on the ACS Syndicate Frozen Roms and they bakes LauncherPro in with their standard or slim versions.
I loved certain features of it like the homescreens being in continuous loop and the scrollable dock so you can have as many apps in your dock as you want. The thing that turned me off is that any apps you have saved to your SD card the icons will not show up when you first boot your phone, you have to restart launcherpro which was extremely annoying. I also started getting FC's.
I'm still on Syndicate Frozen, but now I'm using ADW Launcher as I didn't originally know the difference between ADW and ADW ex. I will now be switching to ex.

Recommended launcher for Arc S with ICS?

Hey guys,
I just flashed CM9 on my Arc S and everything is fine,
Though I can still notice some lag while scrolling between homescreens \ entring the drawer.
I guess it could be improved with a good launcher.
What's the best launcher for this mission? I tried LauncherPro, it works good but it has that GB look
Thanks
Tom.

i suggest the sony stock one modded for CM9/CM10/AOKP

Thanks for the reply.
What does it mean?
How can I get both stock and CM together?

CM launcher is called trebuchet, Sony launcher is Xperia launcher or sth. They can coexist without problems.
I'm using Nova launcher (prime), which is based on stock ICS launcher, and for me it's the one, I recommend it.
Or you can try Apex. I prefer Nova, but some prefer Apex.
LauncherPro doesn't have GB look, but 2.2 or even 2.1 (I think its based on stock 2.1 launcher) look. It was great at the time, but developer fall asleep or sth, there hasnt been any update in couple of years now.

Apex
Use the Apex launcher.. its the simplest and best launcher out there.. you'll like it =)
easy and simple to configure.

Apex launcher works fine. You can also test Nova, which can import setings and desktops from apex.

Vote for Apex, you can preview in JJ Hybrid Rom's Thread

Used trebuchet, nova and xperia gx, but for me, Apex is the best!

Holo launcher HD check it out

Definierty Apex laucher, smooth, fast, stable, and support edit many thing, sr my eng

I was thinking the same thing...
when I had GB I used go launcher and was kinda of slow.......
Now I use ICS and I read the review on play store from GO and apparently still slow and consume a lot of ram...
I'm using jj's hybrid rom and I love it, my never was this faster and the battery is just perfect. but the launcher that they use is kind of ugly ( trebuchet ) and I cannot change my dock icons... I've read that the best out there are" 1: apex and 2: nova... which one will you recommend if you want to keep the phone run smooth and fast???
I install the apex for a couple minutes and after a few changes was kind of laggy... I'm using nova now and is responding a lot better but I would like the opinion of someone who has used this two launchers for more than a few minutes like....

i use apex concurrently with stock launcher and i think it's terrific. I enabled tablet UI mode so the default dock is gone and the google search is default instead and it looks great. It's pretty fast and not as laggy as go and stock despite the heavy usage I torture my arc with

I tried many, apex, nova, go launcher, stock, xperia s and also miui(using miui rom)... but I have to say that 360 launchers is better than all of them, smoother, faster and less ram usage, but yesterday I tried MIUI launcher again but this time I got it from the market using Sony ICS rom and I think works better than 360 launcher, way better, it does have few cons like that you can only change the icons using a miui theme...
But the performance is better than with anyother launcher, also you can use miui custom lockscreens...

Yup. And the combination of Apex Launcher & Blu-ray Theme is really awesome

I used to hate how the stock launcher looks like but now i kinda like it. Got bored with the ICS looks in apex and nova.
Been using Nova for quite some time and its great in terms of speed and customization options. Plus there's a backup and restore option which comes real handy for switching between roms after a full wipe. Here's how mine used to look like. :laugh::laugh:

[APP] Nova Launcher Beta (for 4.4.2 with KitKat look)

This the best Launcher I have ever used, fully customizable and looks just like KitKat works on 4.3 and 4.4.2 aswell.
What I like about it is that you can hide apps in the app drawer, like hide stuff or bloatware you don't use and also rename and change the icon of any app. Also works with transparent status bar and navigation buttons.

Still doesn't beat Action Launcher in terms of functionality. In fact, I've seen a lot of people running the Action Launcher 1-Swipe feature over Nova Launcher.

Always rated Nova as number 1.

I've honestly tried almost every other launcher out there, including Aviante. I keep coming back to Nova Launcher. The stock launcher has improved some, but there are still a few things I miss from Nova. The first thing is the pop-up when you long hold on a app icon. That pop-up has "Uninstall" right there, so I don't need to view the App Info just to uninstall it. I can also remove the icon without having to drag it to the top of the screen. Second thing is that other settings such as Wallpaper is within a long-hold + tap's reach. I can also add multiple app icons to the desktop whereas I can't with the default launcher.

Nova Launcher

I've been running TW since launch day and I've been considering using Nova Launcher. Has anyone been using Nova if so is it smoother? Have you noticed a difference in battery life? Do you lose any S-Pen and Multitasking functionality? Also could you share screenshots of your setup. Please feel free to share your experience with Nova and if you'd recommend it

I'm gonna answer the following questions; no, no, and no. Nova makes the phone more customizable not smoother; ie make folders for apps on the home screen. Battery life is for the use of the phone and how you use it; ie having many apps running, eating the crap out of your battery, or simply having that dreaded battery bug. The Spen does not have an impact on a launcher. I had pulled the SlimRoms launcher and installed it on my phone and worked fine with the Spen, no issues.

For me it's a little smoother. Battery life is about the same. S-pen works fine. I believe it uses a slightly less ram. Nova is very customizable. You won't be able to use some tw stock widgets such as calender. I use apw widgets as a replacement.
Here's a screen shot. Nothing special.

its all personal preference, really. Nova is very popular and is far more customizable. The only thing that you lose (that I can think of) is the ability to 'pin' S Notes to the homescreen as well as some TW widgets

I've been using Nova since 1 week after I got my phone. It isn't smoother (from what I've noticed), but you can speed up Nova in its settings, so it may become smoother if you play with it a bit.
No difference in battery life and no changes in multitasking. You do lose the ability to pin Action Memos (as mentioned in above post), and you can't use the Spen thing where you hover your pen over a folder and it expands so you can preview what's inside. Also, the stock weather and calendar widgets don't work right (just get a third party one like 1weather).
FYI, I'm using a TouchWiz theme in my screenshot lol. So it looks like TW, but is actually Nova.
I do recommend Nova due to its customizability, and especially because you can create multiple tabs (and folders) in the app drawer. Try the free version, and if you like it, buy the Prime version. That's all I can really say.

best thing about alternate launchers is that you can uninstall them and go back to TW. There really is NO reason not to try them.
