adwlauncher vs launcherpro

Which would you prefer and why? I like adw's robust options but it seems that launcherpro is more stable. Could be a placebo though. What do u guys think?

i use AWD
(10 char)

I have both installed on my Froyo Nexus and I'm constantly going back and forth between the two. It's like a personal war between the 2 devs/teams. Its pushing both of them hard and its awesome.
I finally made my choice today and went with ADW because of the number of rows and columns I can make as well as edit the widgets to my liking. I use 5 x 6 and its pretty nice I think.
Thing I miss the most from LP is the 3d launcher and the new dock.
Both of them seem stable for everyday use for me.
But once ADW added the custom widget sizing thing, I knew ADW was the winner for me. I'll still keep LauncherPro and follow its progress but right now, its ADW.
I have 7 screens but here are the middle 3.

The top 86 is my current weather.
The 28% and 30 is one of them didn't update as fast as the other.
The 29.0c/84.2f is the battery temp.
Hope that clears it up.

I use LP. It already has scrollable lower row (with shortcuts), rows/columns change in Launcher mode, and 3D app drawer.

I have both installed and have gone between them countless times but this last week I've been leaning towards LP. It's not a placebo, Launcher pro isn't quite as customizable as ADW [yet] but updates are coming twice a week and it's gets better every time.

LP - I think a great app does not need thousands of options. While they are nice, lp just seems to work how I want and requires very little from me. I tried adw many times, but always go back.
I wish it would allow you to change the launcher background color and transparency though, like adw.
I was not a fan of changing my desktop from 4x4... Everything seemed weird at 5x5 for me.

I love launcherpro, the dev is constantly improving it and now we have a side-scrollable dock with 10 extra buttons, it really is amazing.

After realizing ADW is open source and Launcher pro is not, I'm sticking with ADW.

It'd be nice if you could just switch launchers without setting EVERYTHING up again... Widgets, apps... I'm using LauncherPro right now, it's really nice.. Haven't tried ADW yet, but perhaps I will sometime.

I use adw and love it! I think that it is much cleaner and more "android" looking. The adw dev just released an update today that made it WAY more stable.

ADW FTW! i have both and constantly switching too, but i like adw best

Launcher Pro. I hate ADW launcher for some reason..

I have been using ADW and decided to try launcher pro after reading this thread. They both seem to be doing a great job. They have introduced unique ideas to almost same tasks.
If the developers of both the launchers are reading this forum, please try to see if you guys can collaborate.

Both are amazing!!
And it´s freaking great, that we can choose, what we wanna use!
Android & Android Devs rock !!!!****

I use ADW Launcher because it's open source
But Launcher Pro is very good too

I to really like ADW and especially the open source side of things
However one feature i really like on LP is the screen selector notifier bar thingy at the bottom that's real nice
but still ADW is my launcher of choice! and i only just found out about the swiping up on the bottom thing yesterday! even though that's probably been in a few versions

LauncherPro.

Hate to move away from the topic.. but I have to ask someone...
What is this instant diversion people have to closed-source software?
Just because something is open-sourced doesn't mean it is instantly better than the competition, or does it?
I myself have both installed, I switch back and forth - generally with new updates to check them out. Right now, ADW is my default, the custom widget sizes makes using a 6x6 layout possible. Which rocks!
But, LauncherPro has some great features, and is equally as good a product.

Your favorite launcher?

I've downloaded ZEAM and LauncherPro....are there any others that I might like better?

Adw and launcherpro seem to be the most popular. I like launcherpro myself, but adw is still good.

yea adw or LP
i like LP best for the >>>SPEED>>>

You can try out.
ADW.launcher
HelixLauncher
LiveHome
GDE (not free)
All are on the market.
I have Launcher pro as my default right now but I think that LiveHome may be quicker. I also hear that aHome has a new beta out.

Launcher pro! Super fast

ADW Launcher is what I use. It is free and open source. Plenty fast too.

ADW is pretty fast for me D: .. i didn't eve bother with touchwiz lol LP was nice as well..

ADW. It even has themes now.

ADW is the way for me, works great !!!

I use LP..
Wish it had innate theme capability..

I currently use stock Nexus One launcher. like it very much.

Check out the donate version of LP (get free version then do in app upgrade) the calendar widget is pretty baller, I find myself unable to live without it now

I wish I could change dock background in ADW
I wish Notification tab would be back in ADW
I wish I could have dots in LP (with Captivate lack of trackball and bottom icons too close to my left palm)
I wish I could change desktop columns amount in LP

Used to use LauncherPro, but now using ADW because:
1) Supports more columns and more rows (needed especially after changing LCD Density to 200, works great with 5 columns and 6 rows (LP max is 4 columns and 5 rows)
2) It seems that ADW closes a lot less because it uses less ram, and also seems to load apps quicker (?)

same here i use to use launcher pro then switched to adw launcher and im liking adw better i just miss the 3d app drawer but i like scrolling horizontally better tho

I used to use ADW, but I switched to Launcher Pro. I plan on alternating between the two (one of the reasons to love Android). I'm now using Launcher Pro because of:
*3D app drawer
*hidden apps
*multiple docks
*appearance (I like the icons)
*speed
I'll echo the opinion that ADW and LP are the best.

ADW and LP Dev's need to team up and make a super launcher...

If LP had a horizontal app drawer id be in heaven. Until then adw is win.

Best home replacement

Hello to all my fellow xda-developers...
I was wondering what your personal favorite choice for homes are.
personally I use Zeam, its simple, straightforward, and has a dock! Unfortunately it is still missing some features that I absolutely desire (specifically an organizable app drawer).
Well anyway on to my question........​
What is your favorite home replacement?
We all have heard of those such as:
Launcher pro
Zeam
GDE
AHome
PandaHome
OpenHome
Others....
And then there are those that come default:
HTC sense
MotoBlur
TouchWiz
Xperia X10
(yes i know those are UI's but they have custom home's too)
So which style adorns your home screen?​

do we really need another one of these threads? anyway i say launcher pro, simply because it's awesome.

i prefer launcher pro plus

LauncherPro.

i really liked SweeterHome. it;s really a fanastic launcher and it certainly has potential beyond all but LauncherPro. but it's a terrible ***** theming it. i walked away after a few days...
SweeterHome 2 is coming out, should be worth a look. anyway, LauncherPro is everyone's final answer but tell me this isn't beautiful: http://sweeterskins.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Borderline_promo.jpg

Launcher pro plus

I really liked Slidescreen, but it was a bit too heavy for my G1 - I imagine it would be superb on a bigger screened/more powerful phone. A major departure from every other home replacement, with a pretty steep learning-curve, but very pretty.

There are alot of people with different flavours, but don't we get to see this in the post your homescreen section ?
Sorry for this question

im using launcher pro plus and different themes from colormeandroid dot com

[Q]Replicate touchwiz 4.0?

Hello everyone!
I'm trying to replicate touchwiz 4 on my android powered HD2;
i dont use touchwiz 4.5 by Fr4gg0t cause it too unstable for daily use,so what i'm trying to accomplish is a closed imitation of that UI.
Atm i have 2 ways of doing it
1-Using launcher pro plus with it's widgets themed with launcher pro corporate theme (1&2),beautiful widget pro.
cons: there is no way to make the drawer scroll orizzontally
2-using ADW EX,android pro widgets (in simple b&w theme) again beautiful widget and minimal reader pro with sqaured widgets.
cons:it just look not properly..right!
so right to the question:do you guys know any other squared widget that can be "touhwiz 4-like"?is there any way to get a properly spaced) 4 icons dock on adw-ex or lpp?

Maybe this one; https://market.android.com/details?...auncher.reloaded2&feature=more_from_developer

Hi,
I don't really understand what you actually want. Give me more details and maybe I can help.
As of 4 icons dock, I believe MIUI ROM and Sony Ericsson Home use 4 icons dock (search the forums).

i''ve sent you a private message cause i cant post images due my low post count :S

I know what he means I like the touch wiz ui. I would love to have a nice theme for adw.ex launcher if possible. Does anybody know of any? Free would be preferred price range.

What's your favorite launcher?

Please, vote for the launcher and share the name of your favorite theme!
I have another post about the same thing but couldn't add poll to it, so I'm starting this one with poll. Moderator would be kind enough to delete the other thread. Here is the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=49754302

The stock sense is the best!
Best performance

I voted Nova and I probably believe that, but I have been using Google Experience Launcher for a few days and am really enjoying it.

I have really loved Next Launcher and before that Go Launcher. I've used Nova and ADW and just didn't find them any better than various stock or trebechet (sp?). Unfortunately, Next is expensive (although it is on sale right now). I also have observed that EVERYTHING is getting more and more expensive.
The themes I've used and liked are a combination of free and paid. Love the memscape themes but to theme every app I could with say, New York - expensive! My faves are probably the cobalt themes for cm roms and go sms but they do not have launcher themes. The Go folks, e.g. zt.art, have decent free themes.
On my One I am currently using the Next 3D scene mode with Steel 3D (faisca art - They also have a beautiful Christmas theme both classic and 3D). I simply can't afford to try more.

Apex here
Apex all the way for me, purely for two reasons: I can set grid size (I like 7x5/5x7 for the Homescreen/drawer) and change icon size (I set them to 80% for Homescreen, drawer and dock)
I'd go back to GEL or stock if I could do the same with those (I actually quite like Blinkfeed)

Aviate wins hands down
