What's your favorite launcher? - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

I'm in the market for a new launcher and would like some opinions.. what launcher are you using and why?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA

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

I'm looking for something that is lightweight and looks good.. I don't need a ton of options.. only thing I typically change is grid size and swipe down/up functions.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA

I've always liked launcher pro. but as of late I've been running apex without any issues

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

Apex. It's very smooth

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.

Apex all day baby

I've been using adwex ever since my og evo and the most recent update is simply awesome.

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.

I like Go but lately has become a bloatware madness.

Alternative Launchers

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

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.

+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!

Give nemus launcher a try. Very fluid so far.

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... )

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...?

Go launcher. Nova and apex are slow when scrolling through windows
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
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

Nova launcher prime for .25 in play store

Read title. That is all.
I'm Paranoid Android build 30Sep version 2.16.
Y'all need to definitely pick this up before the sale ends, since it's the last day. It's the best launcher out there, period.
Bump for this!! I just had my wife grab it even though she uses Apex... For a quarter why not just get it for the hell of it!!
Apex FTW!
Just bought it, thanks!
I know the sale is over but damn this is the best launcher I've ever used.
Got it thanks
