What Launcher??

Hey guys
What launcher is everyone using? I seem to have some lag scrolling between screens on go launcher!!
Roll on custom roms

same question here
adw is almost unusable

I found the same thing pretty much, that's why I've kept with TW for now, and to be honest, this is the only device I can actually cope with Touch Wiz on lol.

Hey guys.. found a solution for now..
Im using launcherpro and i bumped all the opening speeds up to max etc, now theres no lag when opening stuff!

thanks I'll try

think i may of been to quick off the mark.. still some lag on scrolling

Yeah, LP has been the best performing launcher on all my devices to date and i too bump all the speeds to ten but i get lag, ill just twiddle thunbs till ICS

Exactly the same here, Launcher Pro is no match for the stock TW....

The same here GoLauncher EX was too laggy...TW seems to run smoother than others---

I use Go Launcher EX and don't find it lags at all. I did use Titanium backup to stop TouchWiz launcher and its widgets from running.
Also you can download Spare Parts Pro for free and set Windows and Transition Animations to fast, this will speed up all the animations on the phone.

Hey I'm also using GoLauncher and at first there was a little lag but I solved it in this way:
Goto Preferences, Screen settings, Screen Transition Effects, Custom, and set Speed = 25 and Elastic = 55.
I've done that and its very usable, still stutters on drawing a GoWidget but I only have one so it's all good
I'd say increasing the speed would cause more stutter as its trying to redraw faster, so slower is the key.
I can't wait until they fully utilise the gpu as that seems to be causing the issue, either that or the fact that I haven't fully disabled TouchWiz..

hmm, my note should arrive either later this week or early next week. i might try out shell3d to see if it works well with the note.

Try zeam launcher and disable wallpaper scrolling in the settings. The smoothest launcher I was able to use on the note.

Launchers

Does using something like adw or a gingerbread launcher slow down the performance of the phone compared to the stock HTC sense and also is there any point in using them
Sent from my HTC Desire S using Tapatalk

nope, they don't slow down much, but Sense launcher is waaaaaaaaaaaay better than any other launcher IMO, but it's a matter of personal choice.

Sry to say, but go launcher & adw have much more possibilities to modify (groups/folders in appdrawer is just one from a few) and go launcher is also an eyecandy and has like sense his own widget set (including skins) for contacts etc.
But like you said it's a matter of personal choice^^

Hey, it's a Desire S, Launchers can't slow us down!
Seriously, I haven't encountered (yet) slowness using launchers. I am only using Go Launcher EX though.

I am a fan of Go Launcher myself, but recently tried Launcher Pro again... and I must say I was blown away... I have Superkids MIUI installed which runs incredibly smooth and snappy and together with Launcher Pro the best combination I ever had on my DS. IMHO Sense is just a waste of space and resources...
Sent from my Desire S using xda premium

Yeah if you want to use a launcher use an aosp rom. Sense will still be running and will also be killing your battery

It's possible with a goldcard, but with this you only can get temp root, that means you have to root it again after each restart.
If your interested in the procedure, look at the index thread.

Apex launcher..

Im actually using Go Launcher and it also has widget resizing!!
and its pretty cool... folders on app drawer... folder on home screen... and pretty much customizable

APEX, fast and simple.

Nova Launcher
The version Prime of Nova Launcher is the best ... most personalized launcher ...

"FTL (Faster Than Light)" by LowVeld - written for the HTC Desire S. By far the quickest and most stable add-on launcher ever. :good:

Have a look at this thread. It's got a few different launchers and lockscreens shown in there and I'll be updating it upon request. Even though it's only showing the information from the Play Store, it's still much easier to have them all in one place, like it is.

Holo Launcher is one of my favorite ! : here
You can try the Xperia-home launcher --> it's a great launcher, fast and powerfull. A lot of custom romm use it by default.
And FTL (Faster Than Light) launcher --> really great too and not discontinued so it'll improve ^^

Until today I've tried holo, adw ex, go launcher.
I think I stick to adw, it has cool animation, 4d drawer and eats an admissible amount of ram.
Go launcher is freaking nice but kills down my phone.
Holo is the fastest I've tried but lacks in customization.

Use GO launcher, the ability to customize will blow your mind!

Go keyboard is nice of course but eats a lot of ram

[PORT][4.0+] MoToBlUr LaUnChEr eXtreme

Hopefully nobody got to porting this before
You may think this another ORDINARY launcher. You are wrong. It is far smoother, and provides a special quick settings page so that you don't have to go to the app every time you want to turn on/off GPS. Cool, right?
Works with 4.0, 4.1, 4.2, you know....
Works with phones and tablets (and phablets )
So, with those words, I bring to you MY MOTOBLUR LAUNCHER. Taken from the ATRIX HD.
If you have problems, install it as a system app, and wipe cache and dalvik cache, and fix permissions. Don't report bugs till you follow the last three steps... the first is optional (install as system).
Just the launcher

Well, after you install it, you press the home button and select the launcher, or "desktop" and choose Homescreen. Then you'll have a whole new experience with your GS3.

Its built on the ICS framework, so no, it won't work on Gingerbread and you can't port it.
Sent from that Atrix.

Hai all. I really like this launcher but when i try put 3d clock problem loading widget appears . Any idea how to fix that ? I try reinstall weather&3d clock but same happens. Sorry 4 my bad eng .

Thanks, works well, installed with no issue as others say, just installed the apk's, can't go wrong. Its pretty basic, like the circle clock (swipe up/down to change) and weather but that's it, nothing special, just another nova/apex/trebache etc. cheers

Try looking at Holo Launcher. It offer most of what you would find on Apex and Nova and it can even run on Froyo.

Holo Launcher is another excellent choice it offers a lot of the features found on ICS launchers but is compatible with Jelly Bean. It is also very lightweight, doesn't use a lot of memory, and offers silky smooth performance from my experiences with it.

Whem i was on 2.x.x i used Launcher Pro, may be the best launcher ever.Sad that it's discontinued.GooglePlay Link

Lightning Launcher is really fast, and takes up barely any ram, with lots of features, just a big learning curve, and not as easy to set up as Holo or Adw. Launcher.

Holo Launcher is basically all you need on GB, light and fast.
there is also ADW Launcher.
Don't even try Go Launcher on low end phone, it's just bloatware.

I tried till now every single one of those launcher and the most usefull is holo launcher but you need to spend on it some money so it can be good too bad
