Been searching for a good launcher for my Archos 70. I tried both ADW and Launcher Pro plus. They both worked good for me. But then i found the Go Launcher it works very well for me,smooth and fast. And it has a built in task manager. It has no widgets
yes the go launcher is the bet right now.
I use it on my 70 and my desire.
I also talked to the developers and metioned so bugs and requested some features and by what the told me some cool things will come up in version 2
Just loaded this up. Being a LauncherPro user I was hoping for a lot and I got it. Best launcher I've played with thus far. Wish it had 7x7 grid support though. Extremely fast.
Try requesting it .maybe they will do that
Had a quick look at the feature list, a few screenshots and a video... What makes it better that LauncherPro? In some ways it looks like a iOS-ripoff and I really hate that (ie Samsung's TouchWiz UI...) I see no need for a task manager/killer.
Looking forward to the first launcher that's 100% made for tablets... Haven't found anything like that yet. Maybe when more people buy tablets, and when Honeycomb shows up in more detail.
Tried it on the archos 101 (firmware 2.0.71) but found it laggier than launcher pro and zeam.
Never tried to launcher before. Coming from launcher pro and now using zeam launcher. It lean, mean and extremely fast. Try it...
im using this launcher for 4 days, and i must say i love it, just uninstall launcher pro. This is so fast love the task manager in main menu. You have my support thanks a lot.
I've been trying to get this on my archos 101 and I can't get it from the market. It doesnt come up when I search for it. I can't get any launcher to come up for that matter.
You'll have to do the market fix.
Try the search for finding it then you will find a lot more Apps.
how do we go about doing the market fix??
i'm having the same problem with not seeing apps in the market
thanks
ADW EX
Anybody tried ADW EX yet?
It's basically a fancier version of the stock ADW, very smooth on my phone (Archos yet to arrive)
Grid up to 10x10 too...
Interested in seeing how this works on the Archos family.
I switched to adw ex. ATM go launcher has some annoying bugs, but I'll watch out for further updates.
I especially like the new mainscreen transition animations on adw ex., and without wallpaper scrolling the animations look smith and nice.
I used LauncherPro, but lack of grid support is annoying when you want to place widgets.. just shifted to Zeam launcher. it supports 7x7 grid and is quite smooth too..
but both have an issue when waking up or coming back to home screen from an app..the screen stays a bit towards the left due to archos buttons and returns to normal only after you swipe at it a little..
That is not a problem of the launcher but of the archos itself, because even the stock launcher has this issue

There's a thread over on ArchosFans that says if you make the first home screen or the next-to-last home screen (when using more than 3 screens) will fix that problem. Haven't tried it yet as I just read it and my tab is at home, but several say that it works in LP & Zeam.
I have been using Zeam launcher for the last 2 weeks, its very fast and feature packed, definately more stable on my 101 than LauncherPro (which runs well on my HTC Desire).
Give it a go.
cant post a link yet...sorry
Zea
Tried Go, ADW, LP & Zeam...love Zeam...
I tried several launchers on my Archos 101. Go launcher ex can only provide a 5x5 grid what makes it kind of useless for a ten inch screen. So i'm back at zeam as well. I'm still waiting at a launcher specifically for tablets.
Zeam is the daddy

Hi u guys I'm in a big debate on wether which launcher is best and fast. I want your guys opinions.
I'm running my g2 with cyanogens latest nightly build.
First off
Adw: too slow for me
Launcher pro purchased: I had been using launcher pro for a really long time but it takes forever to come up and when u swtich the launcher to landscape mode everything goes bananas.
Go launcher: was using this for about 2 months but I don't like the theme selections.
Adw ex: what imusing right now, pretty fast but also a lil unstable.
What's best for u guys?
Have you tried the stock gingerbread launcher? What it lacks in customisation options it makes up in speed and stabilty.
[sig]My mission is to hit 1000 posts by 23/05/2011[sig]
can't beat adw ex as far as I'm concerned... the new 3d drawer is perfect (literally, I can't tell the difference between it and a vanilla android launcher), theme engine is solid, customization is much more thorough than LP.
I had way more issues with stability on LP than I do with ADW ex... what ultimately made me give up on LP was the 1 minute wait time upon boot (or force close if you're impatient)... that's just plain sloppy.
Agree with both answers. But I think you can see the smoothness of stock over adw ex. At least I can for sure. I wish stock came with three screens and removed those dots at the bottom. Id be in heaven then. Have you tried zeam?

yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if on setups not as stripped as mine, the stock launcher is still much smoother.
I'm only running 1 home screen with the google quick search box and eight app shortcuts. along with no transition animations or other eye candy, it's like butter, especially now that they've fixed the 3d app tray.. used to be a little choppy but now it really is reminiscent of a vanilla GB launcher in terms of smoothness.
I been using LP plus, and say I don't really have issue and it runs great and quick for me not real bloat options,I don't have to take 20 mins to setup the launcher how I like it as adw I don't like the dots, don't like thr trash on toop don't don't like drawer slook
For me launcher pro is definitely the best and runs smooth at all times (except when charging the phone).
Go Launcher Ex is fast, smooth and the most reliable. As far as I'm concerned its the best home launcher right now. I was a long time user of Launcher Pro Plus but the bugs and lack of timely updates really irritated me.
ADW/ex both don't have good enough support for icons other than adw icons and that buff icon set. I'm having the same issue with Launcher pro, although I do like their activity options in the widget menu.
Im using EX but i really want to use another but I can't find any good ones. I liked 91 panda, I don't think it's been updated but I haven't checked either.
launcher pro plus for sure! fast, stable and some nice widgets

How are you able to get one home screen???? Granted I have one screen that has one widget on it, the rest are blank, but there are still 7 total. ....wait...I think you are using adw ex right?

yes, using adw ex. all of the custom launcher apps I've used allow you to choose how many homescreens you have though, shouldn't matter which one you have.

you can use any icons you want as long as they're PNG (same as any other custom launcher).. creating an icon pack that will replace your app tray icons as well is a piece of cake.

Launcher pro for me but with the recent update. The slide out keyboard no longer opens go to landscape mode.
I like launcher pro
or you can use ADW launcher
if you like wp7's launcher, you can use 7 launcher
if you like 3D UI, you can use regina
Just wondering what launchers people are using on their zenfones? Do you stick with zen, use google now, or one of the other launchers? I like Zen well enough, and it's nice to have double tap sleep functionality in any space across the home screen, but on the other hand Zen is kind of wasteful of space, which negates the effect of having a large screen.
I'm using Google Now Launcher and I use Gravity Screen to turn screen on and off. Works well and doesn't seem to drain battery badly.
Out of the box launcher in use here and it's the smoothest launcher I've ever used... and I've used quite a lot. This device is truly a pleasurable one to use.

The zen launcher is OK, but I keep going back to ADW.
NOVA Launcher
I use Nova Launcher. It's the best. It's pretty light as well.
the double tap to sleep and double tap to wake works well with this launcher as well.
Nova Launcher here too!

Hi , How you enable double tap functionality in Nova launcher?

Nova launcher prime here....
The Google Now launcher is pretty good, so is Nova launcher.
I am still a fan of the ZenUI launcher. Very smooth, lots of features.
Google now, double tap still works on the lock screen, haven't rooted it yet but got used to do the greenify+lock thing.
Edit: Just found by mistake that double tap to lock still works on the status bar, no matter what are you running in the foreground.
crack HTC Blinkfeed (sense launcher) working very well...
TSF Launcher 3D Shell works fine
Dodol Launcher or Smart Launcher 3
I used to always use SL and when I got this phone I started running SL3 on it. Works great if you like the way SL changes how your phone's basic functions work. I was looking for something a little more simple and since then, I installed Dodol Launcher. I run it with status bar and dock both hidden, and instead just use gestures to open app drawer, launcher menu and notifications. For me, it feels really nice running it like this.
Have been using the stock Zen launcher in the new single layer mode for a couple of days now. Really like it - simple, clean and very fluid, with an economy of swipes and taps needed to do stuff. It's like iOS (and therefore appeals to my ocd need for neatness and the symetry of a nice grid ) but is better because you still have all the Android/ASUS UI customisability if you want it.
I use action Launcher 3
+1 For Nova Launcher Prime, most tweakable, very light 25-35Mb RAM and very fast. :good:
I was using SlimLauncher (Lightest I have tested other than my poor man's MTK 5Mb Launcher LoL) from slimroms with another phone and for ~5Mb more RAM you get all these with Stock ROM since SlimLauncher does barely has any customization or a settings app. Never looked back again for over a year since using Nova.
Asus Launcher is not bad. It necessitate an option to reduce all these visual effects and decrease the heavy RAM usage versus Nova Launcher Prime.

Hello all,
I am about to get the new moto z play as the seller has not shipped it yet, and in moto z play after coming from htc one m8 with its good sense ui and classic/freestlye layout themes, i will not want to use/keep the stock feel. So I want experts kind help, to tell me some great and importantly lag free launchers/ui paid or free for Moto Z Play ?
Just want to also tell that I will never root it. So no answers on custom roms, etc needed.
Will highly appreciate the answers. It may help many more too!
I love you XDA !!

Some say it is not as good (as it was,) on Marshmallow.
Edit, sadly I just realized wallpapers do not work.
No so, on our phone, albeit has one minor issue not showing all of the bottom row of app drawer icons. So the labels get chopped. For this I have a work around. Folders work, backup and restore and everything else.

Action Launcher 3 Pro is love <3
Stock launcher is actually fairly nice with little to no bloat. That being said I loaded Nova Prime since I had it already and love the tweaks it allows.
I personally use T-UI (called Shell launcher on the Play Store). It is completely different from the stock launcher and is lag free, but unless you like using a linux terminal you will not like it.
Action Launcher 3 Pro, Nova Launcher.
I have paid Nova with a live wallpaper and a white line icon pack to go with my black theme, and even with animations at stock speed and using the transition animations in Nova, it's super smooth.
I've been using Smart Launcher for awhile now.. find it to be really smooth and unbloated

Nova. I believe they have an offer/discount for the premium version on the playstore

Please forgive me for quoting myself.
I do not think most of you realize what a great launcher this is.
Let me count the ways...
Instantly sort apps by date, most used or name
Migrate browser favs which I have saved to many home pages, in various folders, after a FDR or to others phones. This is part of it's backup feature.
It is fast.
You do have to put up with a black only wallpaper and an app drawer that hides some of is bottom row. Which you can work around by touching the icon to see the whole row.
See pics.
Snip rant...
Action Launcher 3 Pro. Without a doubt one of the best launchers I've used and loaded with features. It makes it easy to replicate a Nougat look too.
Commented about lag in another thread on stock rom. Glad I'm not the only one.
If there is any way to make software fast instead of smooth please lmk. Every animation is off and it still chokes on a single factory widget.

Evie Launcher is the best. I think
Evie Launcher is free and adfree.
No lags... light weight with lot of features. better than default Oreo UI
Nova launcher here for the past 5 years fast smooth and very customisable.
I've been using Nova launcher for many years, but I really like the simplicity and speed of the stock launcher of this handset. Is there a way to apply icon themes to it? If not, which custom launcher resembles it the most? I like having google now one swipe to the right away, access to the app drawer with little arrow in the middle/top of home icon row, the small footprint and how responsive and fast it is. Tia!
Action Launcher
Got Action Launcher. So far, I like it a lot :good:
I've been using lightning pro for years. Its pretty complicated on initial setup but once you figure it out it's the most customizable launcher I've used.
