LauncherPro still amazing!

So I use the laucnher Launcher Pro... and its lagless and smooth. You have transition affects and everything. I use the scale and flip 2. They look the finest go check the laucnher out... p.s. easy to use while intoxicated~

I agree. And use it as my daily. If enough people request it. I can make some custom icons and docks for it.

i used to use it, until i started using ebproductions gingerbread launcher. It is much smoother and it is a 3d app drawer gb launcher. It isn't customizable though.

Blackphenix you totally should! i love luncher pro its the best luncher in my opinion.
anyone know if its worth buying the plus version?
I ve recently been using goLuncher and i like the widgets that it has. Does luncher pro plus have widgets like that?

Launcherpro plus has calender,facebook,messages, friends, bookmarks and I think like twitter and gmail

I bought launcher pro plus just to support the developer. He made something really customizable that I love. Deserves my money.

Lol yupp I bought it too~ very smooth and lagless <3

I love launcher pro too. It occasionally stutters for me while scrolling through the 3d app drawer though. I don't even have that many apps.

I have every paid launcher out there and I have to say ADW ex is by far the best because of all the customizations u can make including scroll animations like tumble slide cube ect.... if you know how to get the apps free try out ADW ex or just take my word for it and buy it it's well worth it. much better than launcher pro plus
or here is a video from youtube check it out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5uT3vNp2qc

thanks bro gonna try <3

go launcher ex is by far the best on gb2.3.6 the dev is very active with weekly updates and is by far the most customizable launcher out launcher pro development is dead and not even close to go launcher ex imo

Another update eh?
Better have some performance fixes. I want to love this launcher but it's so damn slow compared to Launcher Pro.

Meh.
App Drawer is so laggy(cool transition effects though,love the sphere)
Cannot remove icon label backgrounds
Icons are small(well compared to iOS)

Set the wallpaper as a solid black color, lower the crap out of your dpi and delete all your widgets?
Or is that not what you meant?

There is a QQLauncher in the General Android Development Forum that's trying to imitate MIUI's Launchers behavior.
MIUI is as Close as you can get to iPhone (imo).
Then there's a 'few' icon packs that try imitating iPhone's ICONs aswell.

badtip.I bought the ADW launcher and it makes it look like an iphone.I also found an IPhone launcher port to Android...yeah it sucks..i wanted a modified one with widgets and drawers,but i found my answer in ADW.
Also,why dig this thread out of its grave ? @[email protected]

Espier Launcher will give you an iphone feel. Grab it before they get sued off the planet.

wow, that launcher is a pretty damn good attempt. Needs a little bit of work but would work well for someone looking for a springboard launcher

Suggest for me good launcher for tab

I'm very new to using my new tab. Just wondering what launcher are all of you are using and which you think is best. I'm still on original launcher but I find it slow and sometimes unresponsive. I tried out adw ex but the icons are very small. Any suggestions of good launchers for tablet?
Sent from my GT-P6200 using Tapatalk

ADW is fully customisable.
You can edit the icon size as well as text site in it's settings. ADW Ex is the best in my opinion!

Go launcher any good for tablets?
Sent from my GT-P6200 using Tapatalk

Besides Touchwiz, ADW launcher EX has HD icons for tablets... i have tryed Go Launcher, Launcher pro and both are good but more geared for phones...
However ADW EX needs to be set at a different DPI (133 and below) to get the HD icons (tablet mode) on the SG7+
I might be wrong but i have yet to find a way to make ADW EX apear in tablet mode in the standard 160dpi.
Any of the above (ADW, GO Launcher and launcher pro) are Faster than touchwiz in my experience... however touchwiz is more elegant and better suited for tablets, except that its jerky and less configurable.
Im currently using ADW with dpi at 133.. looks great IMHO

I've reinstalled adw but ibcant find where to change dpi like you said, where can i find this option?
Sent from my GT-P6200 using Tapatalk

Is it even possible to change the DPI for just ADW Launcher EX all on it's own? Or do you have to set the DPI for the entire tablet. If one could trick ADW into thinking the dpi was 133 and leave everything else alone that would fantastic and would minimize headaches.
(Sorry if I'm kinda stepping into this thread but I'm curious)

You can chamge icon size in adw ex settings but dpi is a setting you can change for the entire rom if you are rooted. See my tweaks thread in general.
Sent from my GT-P6210 using xda premium

i tried most of the famous launchers. but just keep coming back to STOCK Touchwiz launcher. it just feels right for a tablet.

I use Go Launcher Ex because It's the only launcher that allows App Folder INSIDE the app list. All others can only be done in Home Screen.
For HD icons, just search for HD Theme. I use Suave theme.

I used Blade Buddy to set dpi
This made a whole lot of stuff start force closing.
I wouldn't really suggest it unless you have an abiding hatred for the Honeycomb taskbar.
If you do then I would be happy to explain how to get around the force closes (mostly).
Edit: dpi was set at 171. 160 will give you the Honeycomb again. Sorry about that.

I use LCD density modder pro, so far it works alright for me.

Dude if the original dev (which I'm not sure of) is not on our forum could you post it in the ROM/Dev section with all the details / Should I do it ?
I'll link this ROM along with GLX R ROM in the FAQs, so we'll have 4 ROMs which are currently working for our R and three in the making.
Thanks.

Yes, its intuitive but not as snappy as LPP or say ADW.

The only part of lpp or adw that is snappy is application drawer. if you add some widgets, icons you'll notice lag during scrolling between screens.
With the exception of TW launcher , xperia home has imo the smoothest screen scroll. If it only was more customizable...like ADW it would be perfect.

hmmm...I never saw smother performance than with 360. Don't know maybe some transitions effect seems worse, I use cube effect and it's smooth as SGS2.

Maybe I didn't write right...It's not laggy but transition-effects are slightly too slow

Hey nedooo.. 360 is quite a powerful launcher with a lot of dev support. And, so far its great..
1stly it has great set of themes (homescreen and lockscreen) reminiscent of miui.
2ndly some inuitive customizations on the launcher.. like screen lock and default apps settings.
There is a widget called 360 safe..?? its completely in chinese. is there an english version of the same? looks like it can do lot of things like miui backup.

It's in development, and I think dev is looking for someone to translate. So if someone is very good with English and have spare time should offer help
