Hello, what launcher I offered to go very well on mini s3? So far we have used Next launcher consumes a lot of resources and I gave it up!
So what I offer?
There are so many Launchers, I think you'll simply have to try one or another.
I'm using Apex since my X10i-days. Meanwhile I bought it, my Impression is that Apex doesn't consume too many resources.
Sorry for my bad english, I'm still learning...

Thank you, I'll try, do not worry about English because I'm so )
Oh, I forgot: I also tried GO!-Launcher but it was not to my satisfaction, that was 'too much' for me, simply overloaded.
Nova launcher is great if u want to get "stock" android experience, launcher8 if u like windows phone look, GO launcher if u want to get lots of functions.. But I like touchwiz or nova launcher the best

Hey guys,
Be honest, which of these three launcher do you prefer and WHY?
1.) ADW.Launcher (not EX)
2.) LauncherPro (not plus)
3.) Go Launcher EX
Which one do you guys use and why?
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Personally I like the stock Launcher2. You may find this thread helpful even though it's a bit dated: [Poll] New Launcher...
I have LPP, I think without the plus you just don't get the widgets??? (I don't use them anyway).
I tried ADW a while ago and I like LP, but I didn't find TOO much difference. I find LP to basically be stock but has more features (transitions, landscape). It's fast, and for me, like I said, I just keep it looking mostly like stock.
In adw you could resize Widgets while in launcher pro (free) you can't. That is sort of a big thing. In the other hand you don't get screen transitions in adw. Go launcher takes paid thing from both and makes it free. I try all of them but I find myself changing them constantly.
Which do you guys prefer?

But it really is personal preference. I personally love ADW (and love ADW EX even more which I bought to support the dev... the extra features are just a bonus). I find it much better and more intuitive than both the stock launcher in Android and Launcher Pro. I have never tried Go EX because I am perfectly happy with what I have. Certain options may be a must-have for some, while others will never use it (like I never use widget resizing).
I know many people who can't stand ADW and love Launcher Pro. There is no quantifiable proof saying one is better than the other that applies to everyone. It is like saying Sense is better than stock. For some it is, for some it isn't (I can't stand Sense, but my buddy misses it even though he loves CM7 more than his stock experience). The same goes for MIUI vs CM.
This is the beauty of Android. There isn't just one cookie cutter design that everyone has to learn to live with. You can try different things and make the decision for yourself (or constantly change if you can't make a decision).
None of the above...I prefer the lightness of Zeam!

Of course it's personal preference. A good example is that I don't care about resizing widgets. No widgets I use need to be resized. I, personally, don't prefer those kinds of widgets. But I can see how someone else might.

If I had a tablet with 3.1, I'd put up some widgets and resize them, but on my phone I just prefer to open an app.
BUUUT, to me that's the point of a thread like this. Get everyone else's personal preference, and decide which one best suits your needs.

I would reword your reply (or original post) saying that you don't want people to JUST say it is personal preference. And that you are wondering the reasons why people prefer the launcher that they do.
The way you asked made it seem like you were looking for a definitive "best" launcher, which there isn't one launcher that will fill that for everyone.
Number 2 becuz its so customizable and it fits what i want

Now that i've finally tried it i can't believe i waited so long to install Launcher Pro. It really is so much better than the other Launchers i've used. Launcher Pro is to Launchers what Cyanogenmod is to ROMs.

In term of 'free' features, which has more. ..(not including go ex)
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
What I like in a launcher is speed going to all apps, back home, going to menu... I hate when it lags and redraws the icons or something.
I've been using go ex for a while and now I've changed to launcher pro and now I think I'll try Zeam (looks like the lighter).
In term of features I think ADW is the one with more options
GO launcher EX
Reasons:
1) allows you to create folders in you app drawer.
2) allows you to hide apps from the app drawer ( i think launcher pro does too)
3) you can do gestures on the home screen
4) scrollable dock with as many as 3 rows
5) you can have notifications on the dock
hey, i was wondering whats the best launcher for the 2x.
so far ive tried adw, launcher pro, go launcher ex (still using)
go launcher ex is still the smoothest of them all, but im begining to think it uses quite some battery, what are your experiences ?
I'm using Launcher Pro and I really like it. So far it's been very smooth and I've had no excessive battery draining from using it.
I haven't had time to try out any others yet, my O2x is still a baby

GO Launcher EX.
Tried a couple of others, but GO offers the best mix of being fast and flexible.
I'm a fan of ADW EX. Tons of customization available.
im on adw ex right now as well. buts its laggy (not much but still) compared to go launcher ex. lol. and im missing some customizations.. but the theme stuff is quite nice
the bad thing is that i only like launchers with vertical scroll in app drawer
LG home would suffice, but the app drawer is the only place that launcher DOESNT lag at. so lame.
i'm using launcher7 donate
i like it , simple and fast
Im using MX Home and realy impresed with performance, realy nice home app , but what im realy waiting to try out is this one

Plus additional downloads of go dialer and go contacts are also worth a download if you're running a custom rom.

Where did you get some of these launchers? I can't seem to find all of them on the market. Which ones did you like?
I'm using Go Launcher at the moment after everybody here recommended it and I like it a lot more than Launcher Pro. Smooth and very customizable.

currently i am using TW4...simple reason being is that,i have been samsung user through out...so i am more comfertable with touchwiz
and about your querry "where to find it"...
just googled it mate u'll get plenty...try it out...cheers
Another interesting Launcher is Regina 3d.
I don't like it enough to skip my beloved GO Launcher EX, but it's an interesting concept.

hve fun,cheers
[if u like WP7's over all look then if u want u can try out few themes of widget locker lockscreens(few possiblities i've uploaded down for your refrence) as well just to get the whole feel of WP7 on ur 'android' !!! just a suggestion]
1) functional costumised lockscreen
2)WP7 lockscreen !!!
3)samsung galaxy s-II lockscreen
[all the lockscreens are on LG O2X ofcorse !!!]
after using adw ex i went back to go launcher. its just the best (smoothest)
From my own experience, and from speaking to other members of XDA and other android forums, I've noticed that 95% of people (approx) aren't totally happy with their home launcher but won't change because it offers the closest to what they feel they need.
Running off this, I thought what launchers would you mix together to create your "perfect" launcher(if you could).
Personally, I'd put together Holo launcher and Go launcher ex together with the addition of a launcher where I could totally change my dock, as Ive seen some great docks on DroidIcon.
I choose these because I like the smoothness and general use of holo but love the array of themes and widgets available specifically for go launcher.
What would you choose and why?

After finding out about TSF Shell yesterday and wwatching the youtube videos of it, I'd say a lot of features from there would be a good incorporation aswell. It would take a lot to make all that run nice and smooth without problems though

id say something like apex with the ability to change the dock and also resize the icons(more emphasis on risizing icons since theyre so tiny on nova and apex).
I would do something similar to Go Launcher without all the bloat.
Trebuchet!!
I would like to merge trebuchet and nova launcher. Nova launcher without too much of customizability and nova's shadow option rocks with treb!
:good:
This is the best theme I've ever seen..
But this thread should be in general thread...
Greetings Guy...Wanna know about yours expieriece, wich one culd be the best laucher for the TP???
nova seems the smoothest to me. and of course has plenty of options.
I use Apex, but there are many good ones available. It's a matter of personal preference.
Nova has plenty of options and is quite fast. But the stock one that comes with cm is quite fine too (trebuchet) and if you don't need too much customization is quite similar to nova.
I personally use Nova because I got it for $0.25 during one of Google's sales. It's a good smooth browser with a bunch of customization options. That said, there are a bunch of launchers out there that take a different view on things. There are 3d launchers like Next that run adequately on the TP. Action Launcher has a couple of very nice features that I like as well... but not enough to give up the customization of Nova.
In the end, it really is all up to what you like and what you want. That's what Android is all about. Do you want fancy? Do you want smooth? Do you want customization? Try em all out and see which one you like.
I Like the GO Launcher EX

I have always used Holo Launcher, and now Holo Launcher HD on my touchpad. Lightweight but smooth and responsive.
Not heavy on customization like Nova or Apex.

I don't think that's possible... and even if it is possible then it will obviously require a lot of modding and editing of God knows how many files.... :silly:
I love and use Nova; because its simply the best! (according to me)
Have you tried launchers like Apex Launcher, Nova Launcher, Holo Launcher, Buzz Launcher, Next Launcher, TSF Shell, Atom Launcher, Go Launcher, ADW Launcher or the Stock 4.2 browser??
(hope I get a thanks for this, because I seriously searched and typed all the popular launchers from Google Play )

But to get back to the topic: custom launchers are the only way I guess. No one has discoverd this yet. But I think it can be done with a lot of file editing and modding.

yeah dude, its embarrassing to ask for "thanks" without really helping
anyways getting back to topic, what is it that you hate in other launchers and like it in the TouchWiz launcher? I mean TouchWiz launcher is laggy sometimes (in transitions, page scrolling, etc.).. it is buggy sometimes (if you have an app in your external sd card, then after rebooting, the icon shifts its position to the end of the very last page).. etc.
On the other hand, custom launchers like Apex or Nova are really customizable; you can literally modify its settings to your preferences...
I've even uninstalled Touchwiz with Titanium Backup, after installed Nova!
