Adw launcher or launcherpro beta? Whats your take?

I just cant decide which one is the best. I prefer the pinch preview feature that launcher pro has. Works almost like sense ui's, but I like everything else on adw. Mainly the docks and functionality tweaks in the preferences menu. Launcher pro is a bit more snappy, but the pinch preview has gotten me hooked. But the sense ui scroll bouncing is way way better on adw. It gels mute like sense when I scroll. which do you prefer?

I like them both alot .....been using ADW for quite sometime,,,,back when you had to flash it before it was in market ....but now that Launcher Pro allows you to modify the app launchers I am starting to like it more .....
but now i just keep them both installed

I been using adw since it was a flashable zip as well. I remember emailing anderweb about putting it on the market. Still a great app, but launcher pro has upped the ante on better functionality.

I really like launcher pro....I tried Adw but thought laucher pro was visually nicer and faster.

They are both great launchers, I have both installed but currently using ADW. I think, at this point, the scales are tipped toward ADW for me. But you really can't go wrong either way, both great devs and they work in cooperation with each other helping with each others work to make it better. How awesome is that?

Using ADW and haven't tried LP yet.

Well if that's the case, then they need to combine their apps and create the ultimate masterpiece. their pretty much very similar in many ways. The two seem like fragments of what the apps are supposed to be. They just need to bring the two together and form like voltron!! they'll take over the market together.

ADW on Ic3 Rom here and I love it. I tried launcher pro briefly but I really like the layout of adw better.

LP for me. All the icons I use most are included, phone contacts ect...

I downloaded LauncherPro last week and then I reset my phone and now I can't find in the market anymore.

The developer has acknowledged some kind of problem with the market. You can download the apk from his website. I cannot post links but it is
www dot launcherpro dot com

Awesome! Thanks dude!

launcher pro!!!
it even has the option to make it look like AWD launcher!!
hahaah.. pwnage

Im on the launcher pro bandwagon. Its much better performancE wise. The main thing I like about adw is that 6 icon retractable dock and the way it scrolls. Feels just like sense when you configure it properly. It lags a lil tho. Lp is a lil more reliable, although it had its lags in some areas as well.

Can't use LauncherPro b/c it requires Android 2.1 but ADW Launcher is great, and the latest version has the pinch-preview desktop switching now too.

Adw and launcher pro are now tied in my book.

Twlauncher vs launcher pro vs adw

I just wanted to know y'all s personal opinion on these lauchers. I and using darky 8.1 and the twlaucher on it is pretty satisfying but I am thinking about switching...
Please write about what you think is the best launcher.
P.s. I think this is a question but I'm not sure about general. So sorry if I put it in the wrong section

Currently using adw, was using lp for a long time. Main reason for adw or lp is the ability to customize the appearance if you're home screen.

I use launcher pro because it has the most features, after the most recent update 8.3 which has home screen animations. It also gives you a lot of dock custimization abilities (swipe actsions)

I would recommend using all three, and deciding since its a personal choice.
I tend to go with launcher pro since it does not allow to uninstall an app from home screen or from apps list.
Was using ADW earlier, but stopped using since the update that let an app be uninstalled with a long press on that in the home screen.

I'm currently using HeLauncher... pretty sweet!

I tried ADW launcher for a while but it just seemed, okay. I tried out GoLauncher for a few days but I kept getting FC on many apps. I am currently using Zema launcher and really like it.

Are other launcher like zeam, go, etc good too?
Sent from my phone

Launchers are in a way like roms. There are several good options and it is personal preference as towhich is best

I hate all of these aftermarket options. Stock Gingerbread launcher for me.

I'm currently using Zeam and really like it. I did really enjoy Go Launcher but I was having force closes, not sure if it was Go launcher or not but I haven't had any since I switch. If they update to remove some bugs, I may go back. LauncherPro was really good too. ADW seemed kind of drab to me but I'm not sure.

All about Zeam imo. Great light-weight launcher (actually makes the phone feel faster).

im a big fan of lightweight and minimalistic programs in general, even though i see my phone as quite powerful (SGS2) but the zeam launcher doesnt do it for me. scrolling in the app list is not even close to being as smooth as the LP, thats why im sticking with that one.

I use TWLauncher 4.5 and theres enough customization for everyone with Fr40gg0rs hacked version. Its way better looking than launcherpro and is just as fast. And I prefer the TW app drawer as well, which is also very custmizable..

[Q] What is The best launcher ?

for me it is the 360 launcher
what is yours ?

I used Go Launcher EX for a pretty long time when i had an HTC Desire as it worked unbelievably smooth. Now that i've gotten a SGS it somehow isn't as snappy... But the features are the same so I'll be sticking to it untill I find some launcher with as much (or more) features and hopefully smoother working..

This is very subjective.... but I like the native launcher from ICS : Trebuchet

I would have to agree with terbuchet.

ex is good but its very heavy
try 360 you may like it & you can do more with it than ex

Nova launcher working well for me. Also heard good things about apex launcher but havent tried it yet. Nova launcher is ics only & i think apex is also but not sure.

launcher 7 and go launcher seems to work the best for me. i switch the two every now and then.

Nova launcher on ICS

Hi,
Launcher 7 for me.

on gingerbread:go launcher ex
on ICS:ıcs launcher
i dont know why but go launcher eating too much ram like yandex.shell in ics.(70-100 mb ram ***)

best launcher
for me is the apex launcher the best

the new Nova Launcher Prime - finally with appdrawer groups!

Have people tried ssLauncher? It may be a bit complicated at first but later it'll make sense. It has damn many settings and it's very unique. I switched to it from go launcher and I think it's lighter and faster.

Apex launcher

Apex Launcher and Launcher7 for me

Apex for sure. I donated to pro
Gesendet von meinem GT-I9000 mit Tapatalk 2

nice
got to say there is sooooo many launcher 90% is rubbish and look the same
so i guess the best are
apex
nova
ex
ss & 7 looks weird but they are nice
but i will keep on 360

nova and EX!!

go ex, and apex for ics

I really like touchwiz design, but it lacks of costumization and it' slow

Best launcher poll

What's the best launcher for the N7? If other, please specify which one.

In my opinion, I enjoy using NOVA.

Nova

I should've added Go Launcher to the poll.

I've never used a bad launcher. Apex is my current favorite. My least favorite was Go.

*nvm*

Nova for me, just like how they are showing the initiative

completely stock, Jelly Bean!
When using Samsung, HTC phones you become so jealous of the stock android launcher that it becomes an obsession.
Whilst touchwiz and sense offer some things that are better, as a past/current user of these phones, we just want to speed and compatibility that nexus devices can offer.
I don't think I'll ever root & install a custom rom on my Nexus 7, it's sexy, super fast & smooth & just what I wanted.
Enough to make me also consider a Nexus phone as my next phone too.
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2

I use go launcher ex, not the HD tablet version. The one for the phone just works better for me.

I like the paid version of Nova the best, but if I wanted a free replacement I'd go with Apex.

At the moment I like the stock launcher the best. I can't really seem to get either Nova or Apex to look the way I want them to.
Apex for some reason I can't have 6 rows in landscape mode, because the gap between the icons and the labels is larger than normal that the labels end up vanishing with more than 5 rows in landscape.
Also I don't like how the dock bar rotates with the screen.
Nova launcher seems to have gotten better after the recent update, I can move icons easier now. One cosmetic issue that bugs me though is I've turned off the google search bar, however in landscape mode it still shows the divider bar between where the search bar was and the rest of the screen on the left side. I really wish that could be removed.

Nova is amazing, and blazingly fast. Very clear difference from Apex, which I used for a few days. Sticking with Nova Pro.

I like sslauncher. Different and loved it on my note as well. Just wished had more themes
From the Note to Nexus 7

Stock is great, using Nova to hide apps and sort apps into folders though, and is just as good

Using Nova Prime. Mimics 4.1 quite well and adds more function. No regrets. The reason I purchased Prime is because I already own Widget Locker and I chose to continue my support for the developer.

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 )

Lol you didn't really help ME in particular but thanks for the reasearch you earned it man!
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.
I wish you very good luck haha

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!
