For us few - T-Mobile LG G2x

I found a hone replacement that is clean and semi 3d and a nice lock screen that has taking my mind off sense temporarily lol
Its called Regina launcher if u pull and hold down it goes to a.carousel like 3d view of ur homescreens
Its not laggy or slow by any means comes with a weather.clock widget that is veryyyyy nice
And ripple lock is a honeycomb imitation lock that goes well with it
Just for.those who want something new

Ah, I played around with that home launcher, really new and awesome idea. For some reason it was a bit laggy for me, not sure why. And I was getting annoyed by the 3d switching screens thing. But all in all, anyone who wants a change, that's a cool home launcher

Ok, I took a look and I liked it...I wanted to love it...but came away with the feeling that it wasn't quite fully baked. It definitely does things differently and I'm keeping my eye on it. A bit more development and polish and this could end up on my phone full time. If you are looking for something different you can't go wrong by taking a look.
Good find OP...thanks for the post.

I use it from time to time, I like that you can have a different wallpaper for each screen. I like the clock to.

they are flip transitions by wowthatisrandom (i think if not im sorry)
what you have to do is put them in the system/framework/frameworks-res.apk/res/anim in your rom
heres the thread you can download them from here
the one for the lockscreen is lock_screen_enter or maybe lock_screen_behind_enter

from what i've heard, they're cool for like a week then they just get annoying and viewed as little more than a battery waster. kinda like live wallpapers i guess, but moreso in my opinion. you can get it with sound too; ie lightsaber power on, lightsaber power off

I don't see how this can be compared as a battery waster like live wallpapers. Those are actual running services and consistant animations over long periods of time. This is merely a transition animation that runs and terminates only when pressing the sleep button and lasts for half a second. The worst this would do is kill like 1 or 2 minutes off of your total battery charge, unless you are locking and unlocking your phone every 10 seconds.

The Flip animations do what you are explaining. There are bounce, fly and fold as well and these only seem to work with the menu's.
Flash it and check it out.
I dont think youre understanding. The video is showing a cool animation when the screen turns OFF. Youre talking about transition animations in windows flipping around. I used redemption and it does not have this in it.

The ONE thing that bothers me about Sense.

The lagginess of the app drawer scrolling. Maybe it's because I'm so used to LauncherPro but it just doesn't feel smooth. I really do like all the other aspects of Sense though.
Completely agree stop when you get to the end don't iust slow down. Very annoying.

I really don't like horizontal app drawers. I'd actually love a WP7 style list.
The one thing I don't like about Sense is the inability to remap the right button. I don't need the bloody personalize button there all the time.

At least that's possible with root. I can remap the right button to whatever I want. I don't think it's possible to have sense + horizontal app drawer, though, even with root.
I like the horizontal app drawer because unlike vertical app drawer, I don't over-scroll.
Agreed I really wished we could use launcherpros 3d app drawer. I like beautiful widgets but at the end its just not quite as elegant as HTC's sense widget.

Actually, there is a way to replace the app drawer, sorta by using another app.

There are a few threads about it. But I'm pretty sure its not possible.

I recommend go launcher ex over either of those. I never actually see anyone else recommend it though, but it's a drastic change from sense. It has a horizontal sliding app drawer and I never notice lag. You can do a vertical one as well if you like with it, though I dont see why. The only complaint I might have is the lack of built in widgets (it only has 2 right now), but they're adding more. However, I dont care about those anyways.

only thing I hate about sense is the fact that you can't use a wii controller with the phone

I tried it, loved it, til I tried using camera. Neither one of my camera's would work with it. Just black screen then fc. Seems a lot like adw ex. without paying the $3. looks like it has potential. Went back to ADW and camera worked fine.
SPB Shell 3D is still my favorite... but I gotta say that new app drawer with all those snazzy effects is pretty darn impressive... Go Dev Team is amazing.
That strange never had any camera issues at all their could be setting that needs to be change on it.

Yeah as always with me I'm sure it is something stupid. I will have to give it another shot and check it out more. But sure enough something to do with go launcher froze up my camera.I'm using MIUI, could be a factor too.

Best Launcher

What' is the best launcher for lg g2x that won't mess up cause lately I have been getting google errors and by contacts lose the name and it just shows the numbers and I will have to reboot my phone then it will all go back to normal but then my launcher messes up like adw for instance I turn my phone back on then it's all weird everything starts back over and my theme is gone?. So I was wondering why the google thing does that and what may be the best stables launcher.

No lag here. GO is super smooth for me. Do you have your phone overclocked or underclocked/undervolted? Or have you installed a custom kernel?
Sounds like your phone is having issues that run deeper than your launcher.
I've tried a few, but I've stuck with GO. Every other one I tried was just disappointing...
and yea, that sounds like a phone issue, not a launcher issue.
No my phone is not rooted at allbits in good shape and the launcher I love and chose is launcher pre its really smooth and very nice but thank you for everything for the opinions appreciate it

I'm gonna go with the G2x, I no longer trust in HTC's reliability or in how they put thier stuff together after owning a HD2. Plus, I like the Tegra 2.

I would have probably not dismantled my HD2, you can get more for ones with a cracked screen on ebay than ones that have been completely taken apart, working or not. Plus I hate the fact that HTC tapes their digitizers to their phones, seems kinda hillbilly'ish if you ask me.
The stock launcher from Froyo!
i use go launcher and i think it lags a little but maybe it is just my phone. i still like it though

called DXHOME and its super fast smooth.
throw an ics theme on and your good to go
EDIT: please dont say it looks like an iphone u can use it and with an ics theme (I use an htc sense theme) it does not look like an iphone. its worth it is smoother than spb shell, go launcher, and all the other popular launcher (i have tried almost all of them and all of the ones u guys have mentioned) and has cool 3d effects and is overall a better user experience

Would not touch this....
Mine is SPB Shell 3D
Yes it is a shell replacement so asks for more permissions than I am usually comfortable giving but.....
You pay for it... to me it means Quality and Support
Have great Widgets bundled with the shell .... get what you pay for
Trusted vendor has been around for years
If I wanted an iPhone, I would have went out and wasted my money on an iPhone. No thanks.

Dx home is the smoothest launcher yet. If you dont want the iphone look...just go to themes and choose border and then transparent and choose regular system icons.

Watched the video for it, pretty wild but is too much for me honestly. I like it simple.
Also, the guy holding the phone in the video is obviously a robot because he barely moves his left hand. And ive seen terminator one too many times to know not to trust robots.
I tried it out. Actually a very cool launcher after changing the theme. Very smooth and fast.
