Just got this phone.. so sick..
I bought launcher pro for my evo a while ago.. its OK, but haven't used it in a while... do you guys like adw better??any pros or cons for each???
Thanks.
Launcher pro has the sense like widgets etc... as far as customizing goes i think adw ex has the advantage but i stick with launcher pro. Im fully satisfied with it.

Out of these 2 I like ADW EX the best, but I really am beginning to like the TW launcher a lot right now.
I spent $15 and bought spb launcher awhile back just to try something different and it was an amazing launcher... But I went back to launcher pro after only 2 or 3 days. ADW is pretty good I think but I'm too used to the way launcher pro runs.

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!
I wanted to give TouchWiz a chance but I could only deal with it for about an hour. At first I replaced it with Holo Launcher since thats what I used on my SGS Vibrant but it was a bit buggy on the SGS3. I then installed Nova Launcher and its been pretty good.
Whats your favorite launcher to replace TouchWiz?
Apex Pro, no doubt!
Pebble Blue Samsung Galaxy S3 (T-Mobile Style)
Agreed apex pro

Nova Prime hands down.
Hands down after testing all of them the lightest and most customizable is adwlauncher ex.

You're kidding right ?
Hmm just for fun this should have been a poll hehe.
Apex pro for me so far is the best. It's fast, minimal, but feature packed. I used a bunch of other ones but they either too bloated, development is dead, or I noticed my battery starting to suffer. Apex pro is owning hard.
Does using an alternate launcher actually avoid loading touch wiz in the background? Asking because i see TW uses about 70 mb of ram and i don't really want two launchers taking up memory in the background.

Go Launcher Ex all the way, just as fast as Nova or Apex but with more features. I have tried all 3 and I noticed Nova is a bit smoother than Go Launcher but I dont think its worth it to give up the customization that Goi Launcher offers
Nova Prime!
Apex pro without a doubt
Gotta agree with some of the others. Nova.
Apex pro here

Tried them all, Go Launcher Ex is the best one I have used, they also have a lot of other apps, like Go SMS, Go Calender widget, that are integrated very nicely.
Give them a try and go with what suits your needs best, I did and I always went back to Go Launcher Ex.
They all copy from each other, Apex, Go, and ADW seem to have the same level of customization options, plus or minus one or two here and there.
Apex pro ftw. My girlfriend uses Nova and they are pretty much the same.

i know, i know, this has probably been asked a million times, but i'm directing this to S3 users here in our little corner of the world, please don't hate
i've been using the holo launcher hd pro now for some time and i truly love the way it works. its smooth, elegant, doesnt get in the way, and best off all, gives me an AOSP look and feel when running a non-AOSP rom. i also use the holo locker as well. i use this launcher on both my S3 and my Xoom tablet
it seems to me that the holo launcher doesnt get enough respect. i see many a custom rom that includes nova or apex, but not holo (or even adw or go launchers for that matter).
when i search for "launcher" on the play store the first five results are in order GO, ADW, Nova, Apex, and Launcher 7, with Nova Prime and Apex Pro 6th and 7th.
Holo is on the first page of results, but is second from the bottom. hardly respectable if you ask me. there are themes that show up higher in that search
anyway, so lets keep it civil and not bash on each others choice of launcher. i just want to get a feel for how popular these launchers are on the S3 or do you prefer the stock TouchWiz interface?
let your voice be heard and vote above!

why do you think that? launchers are apps.
My favorite one is the one that gets launched when i press the home button
I use nova prime because of the folders in the app drawer. Go launcher is too heavy.

I use the stock TouchWiz one, but when I root it I use LGUI3.0 It's so much better, and gives you alot more customization options than TouchWiz. I think TouchWiz is so bland...
I was surprised to see that the default launcher with CM10 doesn't have a back-up function. I switched back to ADW because I was familiar with it from CM7. I also missed the infinite scroll feature that's available in ADW (and some of the others).

have you tried holo launcher at all? i just did a test and it does use about 59mg of ram where as apex shows as cached and ready when you need it, so from that, it seems that apex is much lighter on resources, but i still really love holo, you should try it

Moving to General, as I think that it will garner more votes/views/opinions as opposed to staying in the Themes/Apps section.

Looking for some opinions.. I've always used Go Launcher EX and recently went to Nova. I love all the different "scrolling effects" you get with GLEX. What's everyone's favorite? I will try them all out as FREE versions but if I was to go to a paid version which one do you like the best?

TSF Shell
Hands down the best launcher till date. I was into Nova Prime before but TSF takes the launcher experience to a whole new level. Agreed that the price is a little steep, but it's totally worth every last penny.

Next Launcher and Go Launcher Ex are the best launchers thus far, with tons of features and customizations...... My only other two choices if I can't use Next or Go Launcher would be TouchWiz or Nova Launcher....
Nova
My Favorit launcher is nova.
U can do a lot of Weeks an fiddle around with it
I really like go launcher's ability to set random transitions, but I;m not a fan of it in general. So now i just use nova prime. Any other launchers with randomized transitions?
I pretty much live by Nova I always use it... I've tried others and nothing matches up
Starting to look at Aviate..not too bad especially for a beta.
Even everything.me launcher is pretty good.

I'm not much for the launcher game so adw and adw.ex had been my launchers of choice all the way from my Samsung Moment days (spring 2010) to about a month ago. But then I found Apex.
I've used them all -- Helix, LauncherPro, 7, Go Launcher, Holo Launcher, Nova, ICS Launcher+, SL Launcher, Themer, a launcher that currently loses me on the name that had no actual home screen, Regina Launcher...you get the point. Right now, Apex is my launcher of choice. Themes I've used from day one of ADW still work, and I think it's speedy and well executed
