Looks kinda cool, but a little cartoonish.
I was looking at the market pictures and it looked cartoonish, I installed anyways just to see why it got good reviews. I guess the cartoon look is an icon pack, because when I installed it doesn't look cartoonish at all. It actually looks really sharp.
I like that it's different with 2 dock bars, 3 row docks at the bottom like other launchers and another in the middle. You can hide the middle bar by swiping down on it. Still messing with it, but it might actually replace my Go Launcher...
Adw ex FTW
I just discovered (a new one to me) ss launcher. It is completely different than any other launcher I've used. Its definitely worth checking out if you are into trying new looks. Its pretty cool to have such a great selection of launchers these days other than the "big 3"- ADW, LP, and go which are all awesome but essentially work and look very similar. Thanks OP for suggesting this one. I will check it out.

sslauncher reminds me of windowsphone 7.

I just want a freaking launcher to look clean, sharp, and have the ICS screen switch transitions. You know the one that makes it look like the next screen comes from underneath. Give me that and it is perfect.

cool concept. i dont like having multiple swipeable (word?) areas. its pretty much a pretty ui for folders on my main screen. not a terrible idea, would be my second choice to the tops (Go, ADW, LPP) over stuff like metro ui or ssLauncher

Go Launcher. Is there any other launchers with such an organized app drawer, like Go Launcher's?

Next launcher
TSF Shell launcher
Tried both of those and went back to Go Launcher...
Next Launcher is still too BETA to me and lacking a lot of stuff that Go has, you'd think they'd combined the two... Hopefully they do eventually.
Tried TSF Once and it felt too much like SPB with SPB Features taken outta it.

Go Launcher to me IDK Seems like it isn't meant for ICS or JB.

LoL! The only reasons I drew back away from them was cause of the lack of a better app drawer. I'm stuck inbetween a rock and a hard place! Grrr
I liked that they had the widgets panel on the app draw but they didn't have the recent apps and running apps panel like Go does.
Same could be said said for ADW.

Trying Next to see if they changed anything in the last couple weeks since I tried it.

On a side note Go's Next Launcher 3D is looking a lil better since I last used it. I could prolly see paying that much for it, only thing I dislike is that stupid ugly OS X looking dock bar, if they had a way to rid of that then I'd pay for it most certainly. Still a lil room left for improvement, also I WISHED They'd incorporate Go Launcher Widgets into Next Launcher. Those are still my only 2 draw backs about it.
try holo launcher
try adw ex. Using with JB 4.1.2 now
hahahh. You will see all suggestions from all launchers in the market
ADW Ex and Holo have the unorganized app drawer, where gotta create ya own individual labels and how would have a go about creating labels/tabs for "running" and "recent" if it was possible?
^---I sent this with my voice and TouchPal from my Samsung Note 2 i317 using Tapatalk 2
Went ahead and bought neXt Launcher 3D.
I'll prolly keep it installed in the background, so I can keep updated on it. But it's still not worth 16 bucks IMO.
They've still gotta long ways to go with it.
Hey n1nj4Lo, Leland from the Atom Launcher team here. How did you like Atom?
We are aiming to get absolute cutting-edge-screaming speed out of the launcher while keeping the customization and easy theming/usability. Would love your feedback and comments here and on our Facebook community (Atom Launcher search should bring you there - I cannot post a link as a new user).
Try NoLauncher.

Well the only thing that bugged me was I couldn't find a way to change the Atom Bar (I think it's called) font color, maybe I'm missing an option somewhere IDK but I think thats really important to me due to wallpapers. Everything else was really nice and I liked the App Drawer second to Go Launchers, it was very customizable and organized, didn't really have any other problems with the whole launcher itself. If I didn't use Go Launcher a lot I could see substituting this for it.
Ohh and in Transition effect if ya added a random or shuffled option of all transitions.

Maybe that was the one I liked Apex, Nova, Holo and ADW all look the same though, it just looks like the only thing different about them is the names they're all very very eerily similar. LoL
How do ya do that though?

Found Atom launcher because of this thread. Been using it ever since. Great on ram and battery. Very smooth, never had lag or stutter. Options are good, would love to see more added. Overall the best I've used so far. Love how it is still simple yet has all the things I need, along side good speed.
Hi everybody,
The Launcher plays a huge role in a smartphone experience. It can enhance it or break it. There is a multitude of new Launchers out there and of course I haven' try them all. I've been using Nova Prime as my home screen launcher for quite some time now. I tried Apex, Go Launcher, SPB Shell and more but I always come back to Nova. I just love the gesture and speed this lightweight launcher can give.
So what is your preferred launcher and WHY? Which one do you think should be called the KING of Launcher?

Nova. It's fast, it's clean, it's well laid out and easy to use.

Nova was never the king. Apex is. It has more features. It's lighter and costs less.
I use next launcher its smooth and efffects r very attractive!!
Nova, hands down. And I've tried Apex - it's alright, but never really liked it. Hated Go Launcher.
Next Launcher
Try this and you never go back to other launchers !

For some reasons I can't install it.
I've tried a few different launchers but find Nova to be the best, so much so that i bought it.
Not really sure the difference between paid versions of Nova or Apex though as the free versions seem very similar. Any big difference between the two??

I also agree tha nova is the best, I've tried several launchers and always come back yo it.
For me is the launcher that should come with Android by default and I'm using the free version...

In the Play Store at the bottom of the description of the free version they'll tell you what you get if you get the Prime (paid) version.
TT Launcher is good also http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=37696403
Used Go for a long time .tried Next, Apex and found a home with Nova. Tried some of the more graphical launchers but the simplicity of Nova draws me back.
+1 for Nova

Tried Next Launcher and went back to Nova. :cyclops: Frankly nothing special about it for me.
TSF shell have some cool widgets and can have some unconventional nice layout IF they could only come out with a bugless version.
Now using Launcher 8, kinda cool and different. Really like it for now.
Nova is still the most stable and smooth for me. Its always installed while i try other launchers.
Just noticed that Holo Launcher HD is smoother than Nova, in case of scrolling through home screens and app drawer, for me.

Hi,
I'm looking around for an Android launcher with a really innovative, good looking and yet simple android launcher. The closest I've come is Aviate. Any thing else on your mind? Please point out!
you can try Buzz launcher http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2206094

Done that.... Still on the old grid system with practically no new extremely innovative features
I love Action Launcher.
It has shutters which is awesome, and the app drawer is on the side.

'Ive been looking for a good launcher, and i'm tired of looking on the Playstore. I currently have aviate, apex launcher and nova launcher free. I've looked on the playstore many times and i'm tired of the same stuff they have. Any unique launcher you cant get on the Playstore?
I had xperia home and the huawei, but didnt like either. Any good recommendations? Best not be any that require root or pushing to the system/ folder. I currently do not have root nor do i wish to.
Take a look to aviate. I'da been an apex user and it's good but I was searching for somethig different, simple, clear and with great usability. Then I was invited to Aviate launcher. And finally I'm happy. Look at some video on YouTube

Lightning launcher mate. It has options for vertical and horizontal scrolling on homescreen and each icon can be customized be an icon with or without label and has pinch zooming in the app draw and on home screen to. It takes a bit to get sorted at first but once you do its pretty cool. Really light to so no RAM used hardly.

I've always been stuck with nova, only launcher that has a unique look to it within the settings.
I'm trying to look away from lucid launcher. i really dislike the whole thing, no offence to the developer/developers.
Im looking for something unique, buzz launcher , aviate, and others dont count no go launcher crap
