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.

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?

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.

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
What is the best launcher for SGS2?
1- GO Launcher EX
2- ADWLauncher EX
3- LauncherPro
4- Zeam Launcher
5- MXHome Launcher
My vote goes to Launcher Pro because I've been using it for a long time and I've grown accustomed to it. For a while I used Go and I liked it a lot but eventually I got back to LP.

What's wrong with touchwiz?
I'm using touchwiz 4.5 and I'm very happy with it.
GoLauncher rulez._
On my previous phone (SGS) I used for almost 6 months straight LauncherPro and I was fine!
When I bought SGS II (2 months ago) I installed GoLauncher EX and I was stunned!!!
Of course I have also tried 99% of the launchers out there, so far.
None is as complete, smooth, revolutionary etc, as GoLauncher EX! Serious work is being made.
So my vote goes to extraordinairy GoLauncher EX.

Have you ever tried another 3rd party launcher dude???
Launcher pro gets my vote, used it on my hero and incredible, although that being said, the only other launcher i've tried is ADW and really didnt like it.
Can't say about the other launchers on the poll
I hate launchers with docks that have small icons. I like to use my phones with one hand and it's so hard to hit those small dock icons correctly everytime. ADW launcher is very flexible in this regard. You can even remove the dock altogether and put normal icons there and then make them %125 size, which is what I do.
What I really want though, is Windows Phone 7 like sliding launcher. I want just one single homepage with icons and widgets that slides up and down, but I want to be able to put more that 2 icons side by side, so WP7 clones don't work for me. Until someone comes up with something like that, it's ADW for me.
I think adb shell 3d is the best i have it and works perfect!!!!!

I tried all the popular launchers available, and for me touchwiz is the best. And I see lots of people who prefers using TouchWiz.
I use vtlauncher.. a adw version for tablets were u ..can choose were to place the menu bar.. i have two.. the main with telefon msg camera and browser at the bottom.. and a secondary at the left with the spanish tv channels of zatto
i´m using ZEAM Launcher... it is small, clean and very fast....
I have used LauncherPro Plus on my 5 other devices (milestone, sgs, desire z, o2x and the sensation) and was planning to do that on the sgs2 but once I got it, I found myself liking touchwiz so I've kept on using it.

Here.
I don't know TouchWiz is the best or not but definitely far better than the launchers mentioned here. I've tried Go, Launcher Pro and ADW, I didn't like any of them, had a feeling that they all are unfinished. Couldn't even set a wallpaper without Hazy background! But of them, ADW was the simplest and nicest, but still I am talking about choosing something from a worst list
All are my opinion only, don't take it personally as I didn't mean it that way.

TouchWiz
Hi There,
I've tested every single launcher and my choice is definitely touchwiz
I use Go launcher atm.. Tried ADW awhile.. But folder functions wasent wery pleasing for it. I know how to create folders but I get bugged out because the app stays in main app folder too..
So Ive tried all kinds of launchers out there. And after a few weeks or so I keep finding myself going back to touchwiz. I'm always reading how people hate touchwiz but Im starting to thing that its the best launcher.
I was using GOLauncher for the longest but it just doesn't feel as nice as touchwiz.
What launchers are you using that you think is better than touchwiz?
I'm using ADW Launcher. Right now, I have 4 icons of my choice on the bottom, to go to my App Drawer, you have to swipe up, and swiping down anywhere brings the notification down, so I don't have to reach all the way to the top.
I think the real thing is TouchWiz vs MotoBlur vs HTC Sense. I don't really mind TouchWiz, but I really do lyk being able to swipe up for the app drawer. BTW, I really prefer HTC Sense. It's so awesome.
Also, TouchWiz uses a lot of resources. That's also a reason why the Vibrant isn't getting ICS with TouchWiz. TouchWiz has too much going on with it, which slows the phone down.
You probably won't notice the slow down, unless you change your ROM and use an AOSP ROM. (Vanilla Android)
I don't think the epic 4g touch will ever slow down. Touch Wizz home screen is hardware accerrated which means scroling side to side will be made smoother than a non HW accellerates launcher (tecknically). How ever i have used GOlauncher PRO which isnt HW accellarated and its practically just as smooth even though on any phone of lesser hardware it would be noticably laggier. This phone just powers through with ease how ever. Eventually i went back to touch wizz because its simple and works flawlessly and isnt bad looking (unlike how i feel about how htc sense looks). OP i went down the same exact test road you did and honestly Touch Wiz is my personal choice. Its really up to you and what style you like. This phone will breeze through any aftermarket launcher wether its HW accellerated or not. I would suggest dooling around and testing several out. There lots of different tweaks that ADB launcher and GO launcher offer that Touch Wizz doesnt. But i love how simple and easy it is and looks.
Oh FYI HTC Sense and MotoBlur arnt available for a samsung phone. Honestly i prefer Touch Wizz over sense any day after using sense for over 2 years. I know you were asking for what launchers people think are the best. I like stock the most but have done TONS of research of after market launchers and it seems the the one you and i have both already tested GO Launcher Pro is by far the most widely used and the overall favorite for after market ones.

The customizable dock and gestures are a large reason I like the look and feel of GO Launcher EX over TouchWiz. I even played some with ADW, but still like GO Launcher slightly better. It may be because I'm an iPhone convert [FREE AT LAST!] and felt I could customize GO Launcher a little more to match things I'm used to like sideways scrolling in the app drawer, etc.
Haven't compared speed too carefully, but it seems as fast. I recently rooted, put down the Blazer ROM, and overclocked, so either way it's blazing.

The newest iteration of ADW EX is the best launcher experience I've ever used: To me, even better than Go Launcher, what with the new ICS-like interface.
That's one of the apps that I'm so glad I paid for, as the dev is totally on his game as far as updates and cutting-edge releases go.
There's a reason that Teamdouche included ADW as part of CyanogenMod for all that time:
It works REALLY well, and has enough customization out-of-the-box that even those guys basically said "Yeah, this'll work fine for us."
That speaks volumes, to me.
ADW EX ftw, for now, and for the foreseeable future, as well.

Sorry about that. Ment to also put that it does have a 5app dock also. Give it a try,this is what stock outa the box should be. Samsung needs to fire there whole R&D department and hire some of the dev's here on XDA.

One last thing. Have you tried to hold your finger on the bottom page indicator dots and slide your finger? It will move through your pages super fast but not so fast that you cant see your apps. I feel this much faster than any scrolling app drawer. Just my two cents. It works the same on the home screen also.

I've paid for and used Launcher Pro and ADW EX each for months, then I saw saw the thread here on sslauncher. Free, and amazing. I'm never going back to the others.
Launcher Pro was my favorite, but it is becoming outdated due to lack of updates. GO Launcher EX has great features and is free. ADW EX is also good but it is a paid app. I would go with GO Launcher EX. Its fast, lots of customization, and its free.
I actually like TW compared to the others I tried (which is about all of them). I like to be able to touch the dots to change screens instead of swiping. I can go from homescreen 1 to 5 with just one touch. Same with the app drawer. I have 12 pages of apps. I don't need to keep swiping from one page to the other to get through them all, or if I have it on continuous, I don't have to scroll from top to bottom. If I'm on page 1, and I need page 10, I just tap that dot.
I like Go better than all the rest. I like the ease of being able to long press an icon and then being able to delete from screen, change the icon, or add a gesture on the homescreen.
I also like the fact that in the app drawer you can hide apps from showing without having to freeze them using titanium backup. I use this to keep my app drawer organized. I hide all the apps in the app drawer that i have in my dock. No point in having them show up in 2 places.
Also with Go you can have up to 3 docks. you just swipe left or right to get to more apps on the dock. I use this to keep my homescreen as clean looking as possible.
ADW Launcher EX is great! But on ICS I use APEX, Nova Prime, and sometimes Trebuchet, but I only have ICS on my Kindle Fire right now so I can't get the full experience on my phone. ADW Launcher EX can be themed in multiple ways, I use the ICS theme on my phone. So basically use ADW!

I like Apex. I used Nova when it was built into some roms, but apex seems to have a few more options. It's been a while since I used Nova, so I can't remember the specifics. I like using swipe gestures in Apex to launch the app drawer and Google search. I don't remember if you can do that in Nova. Performance wise they seemed about the same to me. I can't really think of any cons.

Hands down Apex Launcher, I used Nova when I first put ICS on my phone but then the developers created a paid version and put all of the good stuff into the paid only. Apex has all those same features in the free version and offers only some neat little additions in their paid version that won't sway the people that don't want to buy it. It's also very quick.

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?

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 !
Listener launcher

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...

Never tried it before just having a play with it now. It looks quite good but is it worth the price upgrading to the full version? Not to sure what extras there are

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.
