Does anybody know which launcher is cooked into cm7? I thought it was ADWlauncher but it must be highly customized cause the version on the market sucks compared.

Yup. its a tweeked up version of ADW.
Thanks, it makes the market version (even ex) look/feel like crap.

Yup. One of the many benefits of having CyanogenMod.
I dared to go to another ROM, that lasted 5 hours.

It uses AWD Launcher, but I don't know if it makes the EX version feel like crap because when I first flashed CM7 which was in nightly 124, the menu was real laggy, which made me try out AWD Launcher EX and after that it was running perfectly smooth.
I've had both and imo the paid version should have features the included version has like hiding the background on the main dock or removing the ALL catagory or even swiping side to side to change catagories while in the app drawer. CM7 version has these, ADWlauncher Ex does not (please correct me if I'm wrong).

I'm on Nightly 154 and everything runs so smooth and fast.
CM7 is only steps from becoming Stable. Nightly 160 will be up tonight which will have A2DP enabled.
I prefer to get launcher pro because its smoother for me and try to make it look exactly like the froyo launcher that comes with the phone. Does anyone know how to get that launcher on cm7?

I have used the 4 main launchers on my G2X and just wanted to share my findings. I ran each launcher for 24 hours and the fallowing are my opinions.
-ADW Ex was my favorite launcher and always has been. I love the wide selection of skins available for it along with the wide array of options the launcher has. Unfortunately it was the laggiest one on the G2X. I wouldn't really call it laggy but it was noticibly choppy and wasn't as smooth as the others. These findings were odd since it ran very smooth on my Vibrant and Nexus One. Maybe it will be fixed with a update?
UPDATE**** ADW just released a update. I contacted the DEV and he said as of last night ADW is now optimized for duel core CPUs and boy does it show. ADW just took the crown from LP in terms of speed and smoothness. Using ADW actually makes the entire device faster from browsing the web to opening apps. I don't get it but it does. ADW is the clear winner after releasing the latest update last night. Try it out and let me know what you think.
-Go Launcher Ex ran a little better than ADW but it was still choppy in some areas. This was my second favorite Launcher since it has nice features and ran very smooth on my previous devices. It's not unusable but I am very picky about my launchers running smooth. I will try it again after it gets updated.
-Zeam ran very smooth but unfortunately it doesn't have as many options and features as the other .available launchers. Those of you who are minimalist will love this launcher on the G2X since it ran super smooth. Those of you who are looking for more features should stay away.
-Launcher Pro used to be my least favorite launcher but not because it had things wrong with it but because it was the most popular. I like being a little different and don't always like doing what everyone else is doing. That being said, this launcher ran buttery smooth and hasn't lagged once since I have been using it. It has almost as many options and features as ADW and Go Launcher but let's be honest. I would rather have a smooth running launcher than a choppy one with a lot of features. Those of you who think ADW or Go Launcher is running smooth needs to try Launcher pro because you probably won't notice the choppiness until you have experienced the buttery smoothness of Launcher Pro. I don't know why LP runs more smooth than the others but the only thing I can think of is that it's optimized for duel core CPU's. Surprisingly Launcher Pro runs even smoother than the stock launcher.
LP here. You speak the truth, though I don't bother with other launchers.
LPPlus. The Widgets are amazing and the scrolling dockbar is a must.
Sent from my LG-P999 using Tapatalk
I have tried them all and will never leave launcher pro plus.
It is always the smoothest and most stable for me.
Adw ex for me. I also liked the smoothness of launcher pro, but daily I would get more than 1 force close on it. Adw has always been solid, reliable, customizeable and themeable. It also was the first to have the transition animations. Tried go launcher which is also solid but adw trumps it.
Sent from my LG-P999 using Tapatalk
Have tried adw ex and launcher pro. Decided to stick with launcher pro since it was so smooth on the eagleblood rom.

I was enjoying adw, but the scrolling in the app tray was choppy. It was choppy in launcher pro too until I switched it to the 3d mode and then BAM! Butter. Launcher pro works the best for me too on this phone.

Just checked lpro and I agree with you now..its smooth.
Been using ADW EX since my last device (HD2) and haven't noticed any real lag...maybe a bit in the APP drawer. I do own LPP but never installed it on the G2X because of the registration hassle (yes, I am to lazy to re-request my registration number). Haven't used it in about six months, but it seems to be getting lot's of praise. Maybe I'll give it another go...

Thanks for this thread. I'm using LP on my Samsung Indulge now. I've been real happy with it. I'm glad to hear it works well on the G2X. Like Jefferynew23 says, the scrolling dockbar (with custom icons) is sweet! Everything I need can be put down there ready to run.
LP plus a Tad smoother IMO.

That's not a stupid question by any means. You wanna know what a stupid question is? Asking a dev for an ETA. THAT'S a stupid question.
Anyway, you can use whichever launcher you like. Hell, you can have 5 of them installed if you want. Go bonkers and have fun
yea u can use any one u want... I like Zeam launcher personally, very simple and minimalistic.

I'm using Go Launcher, before that adw ex also launcher pro. Go launcher it's the winner, Highly Polish, good graphics feels like a stock launcher or better. ADW scrolling it's jerky not as smooth, launcher pro it's not as customized as the other but it's stable. All around Go launcher it's better in my opinion.

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.

Is there any way someone can port touchwiz 4.0 from the T-Mobile galaxy s 2 to work with our kj6 roms? (Valahalla, octane v3, etc). I know about touchwiz 4.5 but its very unstable on my phone for some reason and its app sorting in the app drawer does not work. I love how smooth tw4 is compared to others like launcher pro and adw and I just think it looks soo much better. I appreciate it if anyone can help. I'm sure other memebers would like this as well. Thanks!

The 4.5 comes from the fact that it was a modified version of 4. This launcher automatically comes configured with the stay in ram feature selected- it's been awhile but I am sure that Launcherpro has that feature as well, but it is by default off. Try disabling that and see if it just fc's the launcher (thus resulting in a restart of the launcher) as opposed to your phone crashing. Thats really the only thing that would separate it from other launchers. You can turn the 3d effects off as well to help with the ram. I always make sure to kill passive processes- then again I do not use octane so I am not sure how it runs.
I never had problems with the app drawer. You can change the sorting preferences in the preferences menu of the launcher. It is by default on unrestricted, but you can change it to alphabetical.

I tried turning that off, launcher won't even open anymore so I had to reinstall it. Tried running it for a day but it just doesn't work on my phone which is currently running valahlla final. I have the app drawer set to alphabetical but it still doesn't sort properly. If I install a lot of new apps or delete a lot of apps, there are lots of blank spaces and the only way to get rid of the spaces is to manually move each app one by one which is really a big pain. I just want stock touchwiz 4. I hope someone can get it to work on this phone. After playing with my brother's galaxy s 2, none of the launchers on the market feel anywhere close to that smooth.

Yeah go launcher is pretty good. Still isn't as fast as launcher pro though. I really wish we had a stock touchwiz 4 launcher for this phone. Tw4.5 freezes too much and no other launcher out there really comes close to how fluid tw4 is. I've tried like every launcher in the market too.
