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

Agreed.

launcher pro plus gets my vote

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.

Launcher Pro Plus

Don't wanna be a pain, but what use of info do we get out of this ?
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
Greetz.

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

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

Any one got a good recommendations for launchers?

Nova. Love it!

The most popular ones are Apex or Nova Launcher.
Both are great and you can't go wrong with either, I personally use Nova.

i've been using Nova forever and it's great. finally back on a Nexus with Verizon and giving Google Now launcher a run, really enjoy it but missing gestures (especially with such a large device) and icon packs. Wish there was a way to get icon packs to run on here without xposed.

I use Apex when I want the classic style launcher back. It works well.

+1 Nova Launcher Prime

Hands down Nova with prime, I also have Apex but it's nowhere near as smooth.

Action Launcher if you're looking for something a little different. Shutters and covers will change the way you use your phone.

Nova Launcher Prime is definitely the best launcher I've used

Nova Prime for me as well. I have tried others but always come back to Nova

Themer and yahoo if lazy, Nova or Apex if you aren't haha

anyone know if there is a way to back up your launcher set up/widgets in Titanium Backup? I tried backing up Google Now Launcher data and restore it when flashing a new ROM but to no avail...

Buzz Launcher
One of my very first thoughts when I got to the home screen on my N6 was wow the icons are huge. I love the Now launcher but give us some stock options for adjusting....as a result I installed buzz launcher (never used before). I have been very happy with it and I love the quick abilities to change themes. Of course, like other launchers you can change the grid sizes.

Nova The Best!!!

Nova Prime is my favorite.

Nova. Best ever. Epic launcher is a close 2nd.

Nova hands down.
Been rocking it since the days of the T-Mobile HTC G2. Ended up going for Nova Prime and never looked back.

Nova Prime - Beta

Definately, I struggle to use any other launcher. Everything about it is just well thought out.

Nova prime

Best lollipop launcher?

I've been using Solo launcher for a LONG time and love all the customizations it can do, but after I got my nexus 6 the solo will not let me open an app from the app drawer, i have to drag it to my home screen first.
so what launcher do you guys find is best?

Love nova, very smooth and a lot of customizations

I would say either Nova or Apex. They ware about the same, but Nova has a little more customizability.

Nova... Easily...

Just expect majority of the response will be nova.

Stock!

+1

As I said before in a similar thread, I use and love Flow Home. It's like blinkfeed...but better.
Still in development, but I already use it as my daily.
Good luck choosing, there is a lot of choice out there

what do you like about it over nova?

Long time nova prime user here. It works good on here besides the odd persistant google search box in the recent apps menu bug that feels a tad glitchy. It seems to me like it could use an update. Anyone try stock with xposed gel settings? So I'm on stock for the moment.

the thing i find about nova that's annoying is that i can't double tap the desktop to make it turn the screen off... which i could do in solo

You can do it if you have Greenify, then set the command for "Hibernate + lock screen" and done...!

About once a week I'll install Nova, customize the layout and screens, put a new icon pack on... then that same day I'll uninstall it and go back to the stock launcher. I am pretty indecisive when it comes to layouts. I probably change my wallpaper 3-4 times a day.

Me too.
It has some amazing features like Shutters, Quickpage and Quickdrawer, which, after you get used to, you just can't live without.

Nova Prime, been using it for years.

Nees, I like what I see of Flow Home from their website, but it's asking for an invite to install. Do you have any invites to share?

Thanks for the mention of Quick Launcher 3! I like it!
I set it up with an immediate link to Smart Launcher Pro (which I like) which also has an immediate link to Beautiful Drawers. Best of all worlds - I got a ton of apps.

How do you deal with the Huawei Launcher, is replacing it better than an App Drawer?

Hello,
I do not personally own a Huawei P8, but I noticed that the Laucher on this device lacks an app Drawer and is an iOS like launcher. I personally don't like, but my cousin that owns the device didn't want to use an alternative launcher (Nova, Action Launcher, etc..)
I created this app for him (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=be.wazabe.appdrawer) and I wanted to have your feedback, as users of the device.
Might such an app be usefull for you or have you already replaced the launcher.
Are there any advantages of keeping stock launcher?

But in the next Android, it's the new way to don't have app drawer. It's already like this on new Sammy firmware like note 5.
Personally your app is not bad but too look like cyanogen for me
The ram consumption is better without a app drawer of course. The first time it's not easy but not a big deal to use a different launcher if you are not happy like this. They are a lot on the playstore.
On the p8 lite with your app because it's not a launcher you can't also remove the app on the launcher and we have two sames app in the drawer and on the launcher and it's making the system slowly and more ram consumption.
With nova, it's so smooth

first thing i did, when i got the phone, was installing Nova

Yeah, same here, I always use Nova Launcher

Loaded the Blackberry Priv launcher and some apps like Hub. You can get it from Cobalt's thead over at Crackberry.

The first time it's a little bit disappointing, but not so hard to habitual to it.
Nova is really smooth and not a big ram consumers
