Im a adw fan and intend on using it. I read someone say lp has some lag.
Anyone try adw or other launchers yet that have been good?

Same here. ADW EX is working great.

Caught between ADW (newest release really speeds up the drawer) and LP...options are a good thing.
I've been using ADW EX since getting the phone and on my nexus one. The drawer was always a bit slow on first load, but works awesome after

Stock has the smoothest app drawer out of any of them. And I don't resize widgets or use scrollable widgets so I just stick with the default.
I use lp and it hasn't caused problems nor lag. I set the app drawer to 3D verticle which is identicle to the stock one and its super fast...very zippy
Adw is good too. Its a preference thing so I prefer lp

Here, read my review thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1068898
ive been using ADW EX on mytouch4g and just got my lg g2x and its running great expecially with the new update that just came out today. it has way more easier access to customization.
its well worth the couple bucks$
I moved to launcher pro. Adw is my favorite for options. But LP is just fast.

Hmm.. I'll have to try LP. Wasn't happy with it in the past, maybe it's better now.

Go for it. Just make sure you got it (app drawer) set to the fastest setting then you'll see what we're talking bout

Did you read my launcher reviews? Launcher Pro used to be king of speed on the G2x but with the recent update from ADW which allows the launcher to take advantage of duel core CPU's by allowing the use of hardware acceleration. Using the paid version of ADW speeds up the entire G2x as a whole. Now the ball is in LP's court. They need to retake the king of speed back from ADW.

It is lightning fast and was the quickest until ADW just optimized theirs with a update yesterday. I didn't think anything could compete with LP but ADW really stepped up to the plate with there hardware acceleration update. By the way. You only get hardware acceleration in ADW EX. It's worth every penny as it makes the entire phone quicker and more smooth.

Hi,
Would like to get you people's opinion if I should replace the stock launcher with either ADW Ex or LP+?
Thanks advice is much appreciated

I use go launcher...its a matter of taste. Go just happens to have an appdrawer design I like and atheme I enjoy. Just download a few and see what works.

I downloaded 4 different launcher apps, and used the Home Screen Switcher to test them out.
Its quick and convenient, and you'll never be bored of the look on the device.
Launcher pro for me, the Widgets are nice and the swipe feature to see miss calleds or SMS is the best, I had it over a year now, I use adw but didn't like it as much

Does both of them consume alot of battery compared to stock launcher ... ?
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA Premium App
There should be no diffwerence in battery consumption. I really like LP but ADW is also very good and like stated above it is really a personal preference I have the paid versions of both
ADW does do quite a bit of theming if that is your thing start there first

Battery life is the same for me as long as you no start using extra widgets because launcher pro plus had more then you ash should be fine

I bought the LP+, and definitely didn't look back. One gripe is that there aren't much font back on the market ...

What's the Best Home Launcher For Sidekick 4g HELP .!
Sent from my SGH-T839 using xda premium
It ain't the stock TouchWiz launcher. That thing has a memory leak.
I don't know if it's Samsung or the Froyo VM. Either way, you can't go wrong. Ditch the stock launcher asap.

Thanks man but dude the stock launcher really does suckkk
Sent from my SGH-T839 using xda premium
i'd say you can't go wrong with Launcher Pro, Go Launcher Ex, Zeam, or ADW Ex.... and probably there are others. not sure there is really a best, it sorta comes down to personal preference.
Launcher pro is goood ause its quick but hard to customize and stuff go launcher goood but too much like adw and zeam its ok but laggs at time but I am on gingerclone v2 right now oh by the way do u know any goood widgets

I haven't used many widgets on the SK at all, but have you tried Fancy Widgets or Beautiful Widgets from the market?
Noo I love weather and toggle our something like that it better to me cause I can havee sense clock on my phonee
Sent from my SGH-T839 using xda premium
Well, there's a potential hangup right there. Most widgets will run as a service in the background and eat your RAM/CPU. I've seen all kinds of widgets that boast about how compact they are based solely on the size of the app, but the download size really isn't what you are concerned with; it's the amount of your limited memory that is going to be consumed physicaly running the widget on your device.
Android is very reluctant to shut down services. For instance, I've been trying out a new battery and used a nice battery widget to monitor performance. That's all fine and good, but it ate 20 megs

Thatss crazy I didn't know that but my ram acts kinda funnny it willl be alll goood then it will go down dramaticallly its not funnny and then goes up so what clock widget the bes u may say ?

I would recommend Go Launcher, with Sira Theme.

Is there a way to get more than one page of home screens using this launcher? I love the reflective icons but need more than one home screen
NM I figured it out

This **** is terrible IMO. It lags so much worse than ADW.
OK I'm gonna rephrase my question is there a way to keep app drawer reflective but use a different launcher for home screens

Does anyone experience lag when switching apps with the app switching button? I tried both omega and android revolution hd with same results. I don't remember this happening in ics.

No lag here with stock 4.1.2 CLL3
Sent from my GT-N8000 using Tapatalk HD
Doesn't really help me. Lol..there is no lag when I reboot though but after using apps for a little while it starts to lag switching beteeen apps.
Edit: I think it has to do with the multi Window manager. If I enable all the apps it makes it lag. Disabling all apps seems to fix it.
