Hello my SGS4G community,
I would like to know everyone's opinion on which is the best launcher for our SGS4g right now?? Right now I have Launcher Pro, which is great, very customizable. However, lately it has been crashing or restarting on its own. Would like to know if there is anything in market as good or close to launcher pro. Perhaps smoother??
thanks guys
I like ADW. I never had a problem with it and very customised.

Best Launcher
I would have to say ADW as well. I have been using it for well over a year. I have tried LP, Open Home, Go Launcher and even SPB Shell 3D and I find ADW Launcher EX to be the best, but that is just my opinion.
i use Launcher Pro and ADW2 Beta
Ive been using GoLauncher, havent had any problems, seems to do much of what launcherpro did, including autorotate of home screen. but i may have to check out this ADW.....curiosity, ya know.
+1 on go launcher. Very customizable. Haven't tried many others, but don't really feel the need to. Go launcher has just about everything you might want.

Another vote for ADW; it's been great for me, and fairly customizable.

Zeam Launcher offers a scrollable dock and gesture commands to open app drawer view notifications toggle full screen view all screens open dialer and more!! I love it.

I absolutely love zeam launcher. Small, fast, and easy to use. The action bindings make things so much easier. But if you want something jam packed with features, I would definitely agree with go launcher. Way too many features. Lol.

Gingerbread launcher is GRRREAT!
Thank you guys for all your insights. I must say Go launcher is a really sick launcher that I've tried besides Launcher Pro. It doesn't have the 3d app drawer like LP and Adw does, which sucks, but it has some really cool animations effects and is really smooth.
if you're rooted then you can try TouchWiz 4.5
ADW... Like a boss

So I took your advice and got the ADW Launcher EX and it is everything I wanted. I just wanted the cube transition and I got everything else for free!
I love adw ex, so customizable, many transitions, and the gestures of swiping are awesome I dont have a button for my app drawer I just swipe up on my screen and my app drawer transitions up

I have spb 3d and i have to say it is pretty sick
I like Launcher Pro, ADW, and Go Launcher.
ICBINB seems to run on ADW the best for me, but Go launcher feels a bit snapper. Only things that turn me off about it are the previews and the orange selecting box.
Does anyone know how to get Sense-like previews on Go Launcher?

I would have to agree about Go launcher's previews and the orange selecting box. It would be nice if we were able to customize that option like you can in Launcher Pro.
Gingerbread launcher is pretty good

Hi all.
I just wanted to ask you all what launcher you would recommend and why.
I'm using go launcher ex atm, but always open to try others
Cheers
Ps: sorry if It's been asked before.

I'm currently using Go Launcher EX but LauncherPro is really good. I'm a LP user, but using Go Launcher for a little while now, since LP gets kind of boring after a while.

I use LauncherPro. I've tried Go Launcher, ADW, and others, but I always go back to LauncherPro. It just seems to agree more with my phone (HTC Eris).

i agree with you .... always go back to LauncherPro
In my opinion Go launcher is the more stable launcher, less laggy then LauncherPro or ADW. However ADW and Go Launcher are very similar as to the level of customization. Hope this helps.
Launcher Pro imo.
ADW EX when I'm not using Sense. I've tried several others and they just don't have the 'polished' look that I prefer. Not to mention, the Themes (specifically the icons) by Sean York are my favorite.
I'm back using LP now
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using XDA Premium App
i use adw launcher ex which is my fav, i say use the one that you like the most they all have their pro and con
Exactly. I suggest trying them all for a day or two. After all, everyone has different needs and preferences. Just because one launcher is more 'popular' than the others doesn't mean that you'll prefer it.
Ok. Ty all for you're input. I will try Launcher Pro as well as ADW, and see what fits me the best
Cheers
I've seen on a post that ADW can sometimes drain fast the battery.
I use Go Launcher Pro, with Go SMS and Contacts. So I have a unified set of apps.
LP is good but to have similar functions to Go you have to buy it so....
i'm using launcher pro, and i still haven't got any problems, maybe is a little bit slower than go launcher. Give it a try.
I love using ADW. It's has just the style I like. The battery drain issue might be true. Ever since I changed to ADW, my battery drains very fast. I just have to check if that has to do with the launcher or with my overclocked kernel.
I prefer ADW Launcher EX, mainly because I have become used to the ADW launcher from Cyanogenmod. It works well for me on my thunderbolt.
"SPB Shell 3D" hands down if your processor can handle it. Its kinda pricey for a launcher but its seriously worth at least checking out. Watch some of the videos and I'm sure you'll fall in love. Good luck!
After trying many I've settled with Go Launcher EX it's so fluid..
Zeam Launcher is the best so far. Try it
GO launcher is the best. Period. Beats all others easily, including the over priced spbshell 3d.. do yourself a favor and install it.. you're welcome..

What is the best launcher to have on my Evo 3D?
I know theres so many launchers I just have a tough time choosing.
SPB Shell, Regina Launcher, Go Launcher, ADW, LaucherPro
Launcher7, Zeam, and Gingerbread launcher are good as well. It all comes down to personal preference.

Zeam launcher. Best launcher I've used (I've tried stock, Launcher Pro and ADW). Love the fact that after using task killer I have 88M memory available (before I used to get over 100M sometimes - Using Cya-no-Gen Ver 1.2)
Its light, fast, and clean. What more could you want?
Moved as not development.
After trying alot of launchers i.m.o it's Go Launcher but what you should do is try them as only you will find what suits your needs...
This is very subjective. I suggest trying a few and seeing what you like. I prefer ADW, but there are many good ones. Is there something specific you are looking for feature-wise?

I was wondering what the difference between the pro version and the free version was

I used to love ADW when I was using my HTC magic. Now on the Arc, I've tried ADW and Go launcher. Go was cool, but a little laggy. I then went back to stock, but it was boring. So I'm now trying Zeam and looking so far. Very smooth, simple, light weight. However I get bored easily and may change next week!

I'm a huge fan of LauncherPro (Plus). It runs very smoothly on my LG Optimus 2X and it also used to run smoothly on my Motorola Milestone.
GO Launcher EX is also a good launcher, but I like LauncherPro's widgets more.
I have tried most if not all launchers there is and I allways end up with the UD launcher from Blackdroid. Simply scrumptious...

Right... how silly of me to go through all the hassle to replace the adw launcher in cm7 with it every time I upgrade to the latest nightly. I must be a really stupid man...

ADW, LaucherPro
QQ Launcher Pro
This will be an amazing launcher once they fix all the little bugs. But so far so good on my G2x.
I think that Zeam Launcher is the lightest
Anyone know how to get 5 icon in the home dock? Thanks!

Simplest solution: Get a different launcher from market, like Launcher Pro or Zeam, or anything that suits u.
Wow Launcher Pro is pretty freakin' rad actually. Thanks bud. I think I'm gonna use it for a while but any way to get the 5 dock with the regular launcher?
I'm guessing you're talking about TouchWiz 3.0 as in "regular launcher"? If so, then no, it's not possible to my knowledge.
Yeah that's what I was talking about I now know TW Launcher stands for Touch Wiz haha

gtg could do it. it was done in a number of versions for the i9000 and captivate. I don't really like it as much visually. but you may be able to use the i9000 version if you need the Samsung widgets and kies to work but I'm not sure. hdmi will not work. remember that if you have a gingerbread Samsung rom to find a gingerbread tw3 launcher and a froyo launcher for a froyo rom.
if you don't use the Samsung widgets then there is nothing wrong with zeam, lp, go launcher, adw, or others...
You can use ADW launcher also, here is my 5 icon dock...
Try QQlauncher

Go Launcher EX
I use Go Launcher EX (free)
They seem to be the best for me when you use there widgets, Also I'm using 5 icon dock and 5 icon home screen..lol
TouchWiz 4.5???
sony arc launcher??
as you can see there are a lot of launchers that can give 5 icons.
so far we have qq, adw, launcherpro, versions of tw3 launcher for the i9000, tw4.5 launcher (tw4 specially modified for use on all phones) zeam, go launcher and the sony xperia arc launcher, are we missing any?
Hahaha Dang there is a lot of launchers! I'm really loving Launcher Pro though I even bought the Plus. Hopefully it stays up to date!
TouchWiz 4.5 works really good on GingerBread.
easy to install too with thier app. just install another launcher to have as a back up.
There's also the Regina Launcher. I like the Go Launcher EX the most.

I personally LOVE Trebuchet Launcher, but it is a part of CyanogenMod. I have not found any others that I really like, so I am using CM10, because it is the BEST hands down.
Now, you MIGHT be able to find the apk and put it on the stock ICS, but that might defeat the whole purpose of Trebuchet, but just to get back on the subject at hand, and that is that apex launcher is EXACTLY like Trebuchet, and it is not too bad, and worth a look.
Oh and here is flashable zip for Trebuchet, not sure how well it will work on this phone without CM on it, but it might also be worth a look.

performance wise, Nova launcher is the best by far.. though i have used Apex a lot.. the transitions in Nova launcher seem much faster.. the full version lets you make folders in app drawer and use gestures too
Personally, I like Go Launcher. It has a screenshot option which is kind of handy since the one in CM10 doesn't crop them properly at the moment.
Go keeps me going! Best to suit ma requirements!
I've tried adw, nova and apex. Apex in my opinion is the smoothest. Nova would lag at times. I bought Apex pro yesterday and it has a lot of extra features. Basically it will come down to what you like but i would recommend Apex.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda premium
Apex or ADW for sure. Nova always had 'twitches' here n there while scrolling. ADW is the most customizable launcher I've ever used n just as smooth as apex. Mind you, gotta be on ICS and up for Apex and Nova. ADW works on all, but to use all features it has, you'll have to be on JB.

Nova and Apex, I use Apex because it can set vertical wallpaper and icons in dock can swipe both up and down
But another launcher maybe the launcher of the future is Next Launcher (GoEx), supppper smooth
