try atom, the most less ram consuming and minimalistic launcher ever

It consumes more RAM than Nova (which is the best launcher ever)
And how you make the statusbar transparent when you use 3rd party launcher?:silly:
Apex is my best:good:
15-23 MB on my HOV
Nova Launcher - best launcher from what I used!

Apex. least ram consuming and has an option to make statusbar transparent
Nova is completely lag-free.
I experience some stutters in Apex while scrolling.
Nova is the best for me, Apex comes a close second.
Try Gravitybox.

Currently only launchers only support transparent status bars in 4.4 roms. For lower versions Gravitybox xposed module does it.

Hi everybody! After a while with stock rooted and modded sense, I decided to switch to cm7. But the launcher that comes with this Rom (adw launcher) is slow on my desire... so what launcher do you use or do you suggest to me?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Launcher Pro (my favorite) or Zeam.
Really its a question of which launcher on AOSP.
I Prefer Go Launcher.
Launcher Pro
or QQ Launcher for the MIUI look
Zeam is the most simple, with good customizations + it has the smoothness a launcher should have...worth trying
Hi guys I tried zeam launcher for the first time. As you say is very simple and light... but it seems to have some lag in the app drawer especially in horizontal mode, don't you think? Also tried QQ launcher but too laggy too... what about adw launcher EX that's completely different from adw launcher in cyanogen?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
GO Launcher EX is nice if you want speed, nice animated widgets and miui like interface. LauncherPro is still the fastest but its not updated a while so my opinion is if you want free good launcher try GO Launcher EX...
Launcher Pro is still a good choice if you want a stable and responsive launcher. There haven't been any updates for a while, but on the other hand it's quite finished and there's not much left to be desired.
Hmm, see even though I have LP Pro (all fully paid for) I dont use it. I find Go is Much smoother for me.
Espier Launcher FTW (though the iPhone look may piss some hardcore Androiders)
Herpderp Defy.
I use the Arc Launcher v2 posted by slither2006
It's just fast and the built-in folder management is quite useful.

C'mon.
What is your favourite Launcher? != Which launcher do you prefer using cm7?
I don't think so. Unless you can disprove me, this is beyond idiotic...

Totally agree. Go Launcher works better than LP on your rom, even though it's just a little.

has anyone tried apex launcher?i hear it is good...
I'm quite sure that Apex is ICS only.
ADW launcher is the best for me, simply and fast! I don't like Go Launcher, but I don't know why

I prefer ICS Launcher, only Googles own ICS Launcher is better.
Just installed Sandvolts ICS rom 4.1.5 and i am amazed at the amount of customization that has gone into it
I am posting as when i went into the installer it was asking me which launcher i wanted
in the end i thought i would start by trying Nova
I just am asking to find out what is everyone who uses ics what is your favorite launcher and why?
I use Nova launcher. Can't complain.
I 2nd Nova! great features and cant go wrong Other than Nova i do like Apex launcher aswell

Okay Nova Launcher is nice, but after some testing I have to say that Launcher Pro works better (overall best launcher for Android imho).

Meh x1000000
The dev hasn't updated it in over a year, it's now an abandoned project. Also GOLauncher has a lot more features and widgets. (still use Nova though )

If the app works fine, why should there be an update?
And these features you mention, I do not miss anything in LP, so who cares?
If Nova is as smooth as LP for me, I would change. But in the moment, no chance.
Apex
For me the best is apex smooth, stable

Same here, found no problems with Apex. Though, if you read the Sandroid thread there are a few having issues with the update but suspect this could be localised due to none full wipes and personalised settings...
Nova work pretty good for me. I use it with ICS by Sandvold
Another vote for Nova! ")
I find Apex is really lightweight, stable and smooth, and offers more customization than the free version of Nova.
+1 Apex Launcher, at least for now

To me LP feels way outdated in comparison to ICS. Yeah it's smoother, but I miss the search bar from ICS, the in drawer widgets, old animations, and the app drawer in ICS (or any palignated drawer) is a lot easier to navigate, using "menu" is back like it was in GB...
It feels like taking ICS, tearing a big hole in it and then patching it up with GB.
Nova Launcher! Seems to be the fastest in Sandvold's ICS Rom.
According my experience in using ICS by Sandvoid, both stock launcher and apex are smooth
may be stock is more stable
Apex, because it's smooth and stable.
always used sense but feel like trying some thing different
will have been asked loads but now we have JB, what are people finding the best launcher, icon sets, fonts
dont want to root my phone as i use apps that will not work on rooted devices
looking for a cool launcher with minimalistic icons and font
thanks for any help
I used apex launcher since it comes with some nice features and widgets. I bought it too so more stuff in it. My fav by far

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

Everything else I can find elsewhere.

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

Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
if you wanna be DIFFERENT, try ssLauncher :good:
Yandex.Shell Launcher is the best featured and shiny look launcher that there is for android (in my opinion ) and it based on the developers work of SPB SHELL Launcher. Till now it was available only for russian users, but from today its expands worldwide, and all of you can enjoy it also!!! its free

If u want less consumption of ram.. Use smart launcher.. It uses only 20 mb of ram. It automatically arranges application according to specific category....

Smart launcher ui is not good .

Lol i am talking of RAM consumption not about application space
any ways only problem with this launcher is we cant use themes of other launcher
what i think Holo Launcher HD is Alternative to this Stock grand launcher atleast till Mega 5.8 launcher is avilable for grand

Mega 5.8 launcher will have 7x7 touchwiz I guess
If u want to customize your grand.......then use NEXT LAUNCHER 3D
and if u want to use other phone themes..........then use NOVA LAUNCHER OR APEX LAUNCHER
thus they use less space and ram :laugh:

Next launcher consumes more ram and cpu.. Drains more battery... Its not advisable... Nova prime and apex launchers are good because of availability of more themes.. And average ram consumption
From galaxy grand AMCD stock firmware..
I use holo launcher hd, highly customisable and only 16-18 mb of ram consumption.
I've just downloaded zeam launcher and nemus launcher, they are said to be very ram friendly so I wanna try them and see if they are better than holo hd.
Zeam launcher is very light, I use to have it on my previous devices.
