Alternative Launchers - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Anyone try using an alternative launcher on their ET4G? Curious to see if there are any hiccups with switching on this device.

I dont have it yet but qqluncher pro is pretty nice... I've ben using it on my epic witht the iphoneish theme and its pretty simlar to miui... I like it and bettery didn't seem to change switching from lp to that so I'm sure it wouldn't effect the touch

Have Go Launcher EX running flawlessly on my E4GT

I'm 50/50 runnign either Touchwiz or Go Launcher Ex.

Using launcher 7 while i figure this touch wiz out.

it appears touchwiz widgets work on alternative launchers, that can't be right

Same, I've used many different launchers on my Inspire and always ended up going back to LP Pro Plus sooner or later.. but I'm using TW4 for now and it's not too bad.

Yup looks like it...I'm back and forth from adw ex and spb...not sure what to go with yet...i like adw because you can add rows and columns which really gives you alot of room on this screen. Might be able to do it with others as well..

You are not alone on this one......I think those against it don't want to pay....if it were free it may be the hottest launcher

I use ADW and when set to the fast preset, this phone absolutely flies.

Go Launcher EX >>>

I have been using adw ex with no problems

After using touchwiz for a day, I decided to use zeam launcher. I love the scrollable dock.

+1!
I've used it on every phone I've had recently. It rocks on our ET! Using some of the TW4 Widgets in combination really improves the overall feel of things!

Yeah I'm in the same boat. I downloaded it when it first came out and immediately removed it.
Yeah i tried i just want the launcher i have a theme with go launcher and the new acs ics with a twist is a good holdover but loving the lwp you and the keyboard awesome now time for the laucher

I did a Google search and am shocked no ones even tried to pull from the system dump
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
It has been attempted but the framework is so different that until there are stable ports to different devices it will not work out.
The one in the market to me just isn't good at all. I mean they did good work but just the fact that they insist on having those onscreen buttons there and not make them option is what bugs me the most. The app drawer is going to be a chore to try to even imitate. Like I said they do good work but they don't seem to take user input very seriously.
I feel the same about all android imitated launchers in the market, froyo, GB, ICS ex... But I think Ics is ugly anyways, that's why when it comes out for our phone, I will theme the hell out of it on day #1.

What is your preferred Launcher?

Not much of a TWiz fan. I've at one time swore by GoLauncher. As it got more bloated, it somewhat made my (previous) phones slow to a crawl. I decided to move away from it. Holo(HD) seemed to cover all the aspects that I needed in a Launcher. I've recently took a liking to 'Atom' Launcher very much.
What about you guys? Is everyone on Apex?
I'm just curious.....

Thanks. I searched using the XDA app but it turned up a lot in different areas. Sorry for the duplicate.. (then again, the Launcher world changes as much as phones are released... )
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
I use ilauncher and change the icons to cm10 jb styled icons.
Simply because the transition/resumes are smoother than any launcher to date. Just like iOS.

No reason to be sorry, just wanted to point you to a thread that had some good info. :good:
Go launcher all the way
SPB Shell 3D
It's pricey at $15 for an app, but hands down the best launcher I've used to date. I also was a GoLauncher fan, but it literally killed my wifes phone, and the search for a replacement led here. It has very cool features and built in widgets.
Which one?
I ask because there are a few in that range...?

Nova being 25 cents can live up to that hype. (for the billion app download sale)

Go launcher. Nova and apex are slow when scrolling through windows

To be honest i can't even decide on one. They are all awesome. However, i have ADWLauncher EX running now. The reason i am using it because i like their presets. There is one called Fast.... and OMG.... when i click on the drawer it shows up instantly and its SUPER smooth.... scrolling up and down ect.
Other then that im a Holo Launcher on my GN and my TFP
I like to use Nova

What's your favorite launcher?

I'm in the market for a new launcher and would like some opinions.. what launcher are you using and why?

Depends on the look you want and customization you want. I personally like Holo HD

The new ADWex or Nova prime but they have tons of tweaks.

I like Nova the most, but Apex is also really good. I switched to Nova during the $.25 sale. I love it... Overlapping widgs ftw! Especially since Bob clock uses up so much space.

I just installed the new ADW launcher. It's very different from what it used to me. Its good to see the DEV didn't abandon it for good.

I prefer the stock Jelly Bean Launcher tho
Nova has been my boy for awhile now. I was using cm9 trebuchet launcher for the longest time but scrolling dock and homescreen backup were too good to turn down. Love it.

I did jump on the Nova 25 cent sale but, Apex still has more features for free.
I guess I may be the only one but I like Go Launcher the best, followed by Apex Launcher.
