Hi everybody! After a while with stock rooted and modded sense, I decided to switch to cm7. But the launcher that comes with this Rom (adw launcher) is slow on my desire... so what launcher do you use or do you suggest to me?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Launcher Pro (my favorite) or Zeam.
Really its a question of which launcher on AOSP.
I Prefer Go Launcher.
Launcher Pro
or QQ Launcher for the MIUI look
Zeam is the most simple, with good customizations + it has the smoothness a launcher should have...worth trying
Hi guys I tried zeam launcher for the first time. As you say is very simple and light... but it seems to have some lag in the app drawer especially in horizontal mode, don't you think? Also tried QQ launcher but too laggy too... what about adw launcher EX that's completely different from adw launcher in cyanogen?

GO Launcher EX is nice if you want speed, nice animated widgets and miui like interface. LauncherPro is still the fastest but its not updated a while so my opinion is if you want free good launcher try GO Launcher EX...
Launcher Pro is still a good choice if you want a stable and responsive launcher. There haven't been any updates for a while, but on the other hand it's quite finished and there's not much left to be desired.
Hmm, see even though I have LP Pro (all fully paid for) I dont use it. I find Go is Much smoother for me.
Espier Launcher FTW (though the iPhone look may piss some hardcore Androiders)
Herpderp Defy.
I use the Arc Launcher v2 posted by slither2006
It's just fast and the built-in folder management is quite useful.

C'mon.
What is your favourite Launcher? != Which launcher do you prefer using cm7?
I don't think so. Unless you can disprove me, this is beyond idiotic...

Totally agree. Go Launcher works better than LP on your rom, even though it's just a little.

has anyone tried apex launcher?i hear it is good...
I'm quite sure that Apex is ICS only.
ADW launcher is the best for me, simply and fast! I don't like Go Launcher, but I don't know why

I prefer ICS Launcher, only Googles own ICS Launcher is better.
Does anyone have any good or even better great launchers they would recommend ?

Don't forget Go Launcher EX and all the ICS launchers in the market. Look for the ICS launcher made by ACS. That one is very good.
Mi nuh tek intimidation...
Without a doubt, GoLauncher EX! Then get yourself GoSmS Pro and GoKeyboard with all the plug-ins. Go Launcher has a pretty nice ICS theme...
Edit: You can always youtube these recommended launchers to help give you a better idea.
Here's a link to a GoLauncher video

Zeam Launcher is supposed to be the fastest.
I recommend go launcher ex it's fast and has a lot of themes

You know, I have to admit, Go Launcher LOOKS great... but I *ALWAYS* have a lag when swiping from screen to screen.
I never seem to get screen lag with ADW or Launcher Pro.
I like the stock ICS launcher, actually.

hmmmm. I experience no lag. Wasn't a big fan of ADW (maybe just too many cm7 roms) I was a big LP guy for the longest time, wouldn't give anything else a chance. Then I made the switch to GLEX. This runs on all of my devices...
On gb I liked tw launcher
On ics I'm using move because the pics version is missing a few features (choosing home screen and alphebeyical app drawer)
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
ADW EX on GB
Nova on ICS
Go Launcher Ex (for now)
360 laucher is pretty dam amazing fast too with a bunch of transitions

and it works great with just about every rom i have used
Can anyone help me with why I should use any launcher over GO Launcher? I have rooted and installed the new Calkulin V1.6 ROM.
Thanks!
Personally I feel as if Go Launcher was not specialized for Android 4.0, so I stuck with NOVA launcher. BTW you should give that a shot, I didn't like it at first, but I grew into and now its running great. I also run Calk's E4GT 2 v1.6, and it is great. It should come with NOVA launcher if you didn't apply the barebones converter.
Here's a link if you did:

Is there any to pull my screens from Go Launcher into Nova? Also, dumb question, how do I pull up the app drawer in Nova???

You can't transfer screens across different launchers, at least not to my knowledge, the format isn't really standardized. If you don't see the app drawer, hold onto any empty space in the launcher until a menu comes up. Select Nova Actions and the app drawer should be there. You can drag that into the dock so it stays there.
Go feels bloated and slow to me, switch back to regular or tw and its faster and smoother.
I use adw ex because go lags n freezes and doesnt have the draw animations I like
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
Really? Go never lags or freezes and I have about 30 themes installed and tons of apps.

I don't like GO because it looks tacky and it's really bloated. All the widgets just seem to suck battery. ADW EX all the way

Actually I take that back. I'm loving Launcher 7 right now!

Trebuchet or Nova
If you want as close to pure ICS as possible, download the Trebuchet launcher. If you want a few more features, I like Nova Prime. I've tried Go! Launcher several times, and although themes are plentiful and there are some impressive transitions, I always get bored of the fluff and extra menus and choose something more minimalist. In my case, I flashed to ICS because I wanted to have a simpler bloat-free experience, and intentionally adding more seems counterproductive.
If you're rooted, I say why use any rom other than blu kuban? Best experience I've had to date.

Apex to me seems to be the best as of right now and really stable. I even bought the pro key
I use Nova Launcher because it's really smooth, polished, and has a ton of features. I used to use GO but it has sooo much bloatware. Why does a Launcher need to have its own App store, Lockscreens, messages, etc.? GO runs really smooth, but the features and different aspects just make it look unorganized in my opinion and cluttered.
I used Apex launcher (Pro) because I'm running ICS as well and not only is is built for ICS (love the widget drawer!), but damn near has the same customization features of ADW Ex and it's quite speedy and smooth (which I use when I'm on GB).

Hi,
I wanted to know which launcher is running smooth on our S4 Mini.
I'm happy with the ADW.Launcher at the moment but maybe there is a better launcher on the market.
I personally use Apex launcher. Used Smart launcher on my old, slow android phone.
I'm using FTL Launcher - it's pretty fast
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lowveld.ftllauncherlite&hl=en
Here I use nova prime
There are various great customizable launchers for Android 4.2 like Nova, Apex, Next Launchers.
I myself run Go Launcher EX in combination with Go Locker, Go Weather & Go Toucher, which runs perfectly smooth & fast and just does things i cannot do with Apex or Nova (Like removing status bar & docks) and other things. I didn't experience lag or ram dropping rates.
You should try some out and see which one fits your needs.
Apex launcher is more pro, like you get to set the dock icon size, some more features. You cannot change an icon app on drawer, only desktop/dock. That sucks.
Nova launcher has few features, but you can change any icon on system. Quite cool.
Both run pretty fast and stable.
I use TSF Shell and I like it a lot.
It's weird at first but when u get used to use, all the options and things are nice to use and change
It runs really stable and fast on mine at least
Holo launcher HD.
Stable, fast, clean - yet customizable.

Next launcher 3d is the best......!!

I personally liked the Holo Launcher HD Plus.
Since there were constant FCs with Carbon Rom,
I switched back to Apex, which I was already using on my tablet.
They're both fast and stable launchers, Apex seems to be a bit more customizable, though.
I recommend Nova launcher, use it for a long time and no problem.
Apex or Nova!

GO Launcher is the best. IMHO.
I use Perfect Launcher and is very smooth and customizable. I like it alot.

isn't that obvious ?
Anything but
Samsung TouchWiz !
I'm currently using Google GEL and works fine except the always listening feature
Holo
Consider me a third vote for Holo. Very simple with a small cpu/ram footprint. Keeps things working in the background nicely.
'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
