I always used to hate GO Launcher. It was a nice idea but it ran so slow. On the beast of a phone though I may have a new favorite launcher.

somehow my home default reset and there was a choice of Launcher or Tw Launcher .
Whats the diference ?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
Launcher is just the stock Android launcher and twlauncher is TouchWiz
I tried switching to launcher and it was taking too long so I cancled it, how long does your phone take to switch

It has to set it up for the first time mines took about 45 sec I believe. And the stock launcher is not all that bad. Really smooth as well!

Earlier today my TW launcher somehow moved the app icon from furthest right to 2nd from right, and after some fiddling on my end, to the middle. I backed up my apps on TB and full phone on TWRP and after reboot the app icon was back to its original spot. Also back on the same spot after restoring my backup, clearing cache, etc. So it seems though that this is plausible.... is anyone able to decipher how to make this permanent to TW?

This and having the app drawer scroll through widgets and apps together like the stock launcher would be nice

Apex
You could always switch to something like Apex Launcher... Much more customizable in those respects.
I actually like touchwiz...I used nova before and the smoothnes just doesn't match with stock.

Yeah I'm glad i'm not the only one that likes touchwiz. I love it. It so smooth
But this mod would be very nice I'll try to see if I can figure out something
EDIT: There is a way but it's a lot more complicated then it's worth..
I'm wondering which launcher to use on my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747. So I'm considering either Nova or Apex. I like how Nova Is more customizable but Apex has more functions. I also like the stock Touchwiz theme. Which launcher should I use? Also can anyone suggest any other launchers besides GO Launcher EX.
I personally use nova and I love it. It's fast and smooth.
Nova

I also use Nova but have been trying Next Launcher for the past couple days and I like it so far for it being in the early stages.

You should try ADW Launcher.It's one of the first, and it's come a long way.

Nova prime mostly, but sometimes go back to apex they're both great

I have 3 launchers set up which I swap between depending what I'm doing. I use Nova occasionally whilst driving. The gestures make it very easy to quickly open apps with one hand. I use TouchWiz daily for the S-Planner widget, which only works on TouchWiz. When I feel creative or get an idea for a UI I use sslauncher, which gives gridless design possibilities, overlapping widgets and resizable icons and the ability to have different wallpapers on every page. I use "Home chooser pro" to swap.
+1 for ADW! I use the paid version personally, and I love it.
I used apex for the longest time but recently switched to nova and love it.

One of the first things I did was to install Nova Prime on my S3.
Nova. Nuff said.

I switched to Nova because ADW was dead. Now it's back. Not sure I'll switch back to it.

ADW EX, and nova are my favorite. I like ADW EX because you can scale the size of your icons.

I use Nova Launcher and I love it. From my experience it is much smoother than the stock launcher.

I used ADW Ex for the longest time and thought it was great but switched to Holo HD and have been super happy with it since.

Holo Launcher HD Pro
I've used Holo HD before and didn't like it. What are the best features?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
Ever since I started using it, I feel battery life has deteriorated. Before I was using Launcher Pro.
Seems the same for me.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
if you have more than one launcher installed use titanium backup or settings apps to freeze the others.
You should compare with a third launcher to see if it's doing that for you... Try out Holo HD, it's a lot like Nova, and it doesn't matter how many launchers you have...
I use Nova even with bells it's not power hungry. Must be diverging else Try reinstalling

I have nova premium. Been using for quite some time now. Don't see it using much power.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
Try Apex Launcher and compare...

So what kinds of Launcher's you guys using? My personal favorite has always been Holo Launcher Hd. Great launcher with tons of options. And I love the landscape home.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app
I use nova.
I never tried anything else because I was always so happy with Holo. But I might try nova now. Great to hear other options.

Just in case you are still not sold.. lol. I am adding another vote for nova launcher. Always keep coming back to it.
Random q: anybody know if there is a separate flashable file or something to get transition animations like the *gulp* iLauncher

Next Launcher. You can actually score it free on Facebook too cause they post betas before they do a new release.
SS launcher was on Nova launcher for years and switched to this cause the scrolling up and down instead of pages. But also has pages. Great launcher

I use TSF Shell. Best launcher ever if you can stomach the price.

I've bounced between Nova and Apex, but Nova mainly.
Both are pretty slick and both also put some effort into the notification side of things. I am accustomed to the bubble notifications and bothe Apex and Nova has them with support for Samsung Mail as well as Google Voice. Nova also supports MissedIt! which gives you bubble notifications for just about anything that puts a notification on the top status bar.
I wish more of these launchers would put more effort into the notification side.
Smart Launcher is where its at for me
Before they release an update the Go team releases a beta on Facebook that is fully functional. I purchased this launcher when it first was released but now you can pretty much get it for free. I think you will like it.
