I'm using go launcher ex -I love the way the app drawer is organized, but recently after some update is started freezing from time to time...so I'm looking for a new one.
what do you recommend?
There is a thread similar to this in the themes section with some valuable input.

tried searching for it and didn't find anything relevant - can you please post a link?

You sure you're on the latest update?
I use go launcher also, and have no problems.
I even uninstalled tw, and go launcher is my only launcher.
If you have titanium backup pro, try freezing tw, and see if that stops the issues you're having.

I'd be especially careful when freezing TW. Make sure that you NEVER delete your launcher, because if you do even accidentally, you're screwed.
I did that once. Whole damn screen stayed black. I was trying out several launchers and was using sbp shell and did not like it. I messed around not paying attention and deleted it before switching default launchers. For like a half hour I just kept hitting buttons and through the grace of god got the little use this by default pop up for my launchers. I must say the whole experience sucked.

That sucks. I usually delete tw and what ever launcher comes with my custom roms because I love zeam launcher. I never encountered a tw related problem though

Same here, tw gets uninstalled as soon as I make sure go launcher is working properly.
I just freeze it for a couple days, and if nothing happens, I just smack that uninstall button!

I have been getting at least 7 to 10 fc's from adw for the past few weeks. Is there a more stable launcher with the same features or is it a specific setting that is known to cause issues.

Here you go mate!
http://www.launcherpro.com/2011/01/20/launcherpro-v0-8-3-released/#more-298
Just press the Download APK link , send apk file to your SD card and install.
The thing that you can't see the Launcher Pro application on market (Though it's for free) means that propably you just bought your XPERIA that means you're running Android 1.6.
Try to upgrade to 2.1 via SEUS first!
Hit the thanks button if I helped!
Regards,
mr_element.
Launcher pro force closed way more than adw ex. For me anyway.
Yeah I'm still on 1.6, I was looking for a good complete backup app before I dove into 2.1. Btw I didn't see a thanks button, but you did help.

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

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.

I've been searching high and low. I can't seem to change the dock background on Adw ex anymore. Did they move the location of the option, or did they take it out completely? I am using this since launcher pro doesn't play well with the leaked GB release.

What's your favorite launcher? I'm trying to figure out witch one I like most. Some are to much some are not enough. I'm liking apex at the moment. I've tried go, nova, adw. What's your input?

I used to use Go all the time, but switched to Nova fairly recently, and am very happy with it. The only thing I miss from Go is the "recent apps" window in the app drawer, but the built-in recent apps menu is pretty close in functionality.
I've tried about all of them and keep coming back to Apex. The free version allows you to use some gestures that Nova charges for. I didn't like the recent update because it was giving me problems dropping apps in folders so I am using an older version.
I used to use Go but switched to Nova after I tried all of them, became a favorite of mine.

I use Nova Launcher, so fast its really good ( and using CleanROM 4.5) so its really good with performance and stability.
Using nova here as it was on sale for only 25 cents a month or so ago... Hard to pass that up. Before that was just using touchwiz and on my DROID eris back in the day I used adw and maybe go launcher.
