[Q]What's the best android launcher?

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 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...

mmm must find download.

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

trebuchet launcher equivalent

I don't like trebuchet launcher but I love the ICS look as I'm running jokers 4.0 ics cm9 rom on my atrix. Any ideas? Or go launcher themes/ other launchers y'all know about?
Anyone know a way to change icons in trebuchet? That would change...part of my opinion.

I really like apex launcher but if ur looking for icon changes go launcher is the best. U can't change icons in app drawer that's obvious, but the desktop ones can be changed easily. Alternatively u can use icon changer app
Hit THANKS if I helped u

If you love the ICS look I suggest you the Apex launcher or Nova launcher. I prefere Apex but I think you should test the launcher. They are all free.

Nove Launcher is the best

And why? Personally, I prefere Apex because it has all feature, for some functions you must pay for Nova launcher. Also I haven't seen any advantages of Nova, but I think everyone has his own opinion

I tried both and used apex ....it had more to offer for free

I have to agree. I prefer using Apex over Nova with my LG Nitro, probably until Trebuchet comes out with new updates.
Both Apex and Nova are great launchers anyways.

I As the guys above said, try out apex and nova. Apex does have more features but I decided to stick with nova, got quite a few fcs with apex. PS I agree with avoiding go launcher, would definitely ruin all that ics goodness

In my opinion you should try Apex because it is very fluid and customizable, and above all free ... Excuse my writing in English, but I'm not very conversant with the language ...

What launcher are you using?

Hello,
Im using trebuchet right now, because I don't want to change my unstable cyanogen 9.
I replaced my stock adw from cm7 for go launcher ex, because it is less laggy and you can hide apps.
So my questions is what are you using and why are you using it?

ADW. I love all the themes for it.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA

Apex launcher of course! Its smooth and easy to use.

Stock LG Optimus launcher using stock Froyo.

Apex Launcher with a Blu Kuban twist. The only launcher and ROM worth running IMHO.

Nova Launcher. Very nice. I will probably get the paid version as soon as I have money to spare. End of the month here so I'm prioritizing food instead..
I like the app drawer and the fact that you can turn off all the animations etc. If it's something I hate it's 3d effects in the home screen and app drawer. Urgh.
It's the only one I've felt is actually better than HTC Sense 4.0 that is already on the device (One V). I would probably be more keen to switch the launcher if I had a Samsung phone.

With ICS I love using Apex. One of the most fluid launchers I've ever used, and it's pretty customizable.

Even with ICS my favourite launcher is still GO Launcher. In fact, I think the GO Dev team bring a large number of quality apps to Android, which is something a lot of Android apps unfortunately lack.

I keep switching between Apex & MiHome.

fantastic and smooth
many options
hiding apps, resizing widgets anything you would need
very stable however it can use quite a lot of memory (I have many widgets on multiple screens so thiis might be the reason)

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.

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

Halo Launcher HD
Hi, I use halo launcher HD, it's a cool low memory launcher, it works very well in my Optimus 2x.
Have a try in this launcher..

Halo launcher is the safest and the best launcher i know.........

I used Apex, Nova, Trebuchet, Holo, Go Launcher, ADW and Bazooka Launcher.. If you prefer a stock aosp style launcher you can choose Apex or Nova (many custom roms are using Nova) but if u want more like theming then i prefer Go launcher or Bazooka.. Am using Apex now..

Nova with Prime. Been one if my favorites for a good while.

Apex is good for a phone but not that good for a tablet I guess and holo is too simple

Why you say that holo is too simple?
What's the plus of others?

Holo launcher is not attractive at all.The only plus point is that it uses less memory where as apex is smooth and good looking but uses double of holo. Most of the devices with atlease 512mb ram would not prefer holo.

I've used go ex and nova, go ex has a ton of themes and widgets but nova prime seemed a lot smoother in my opinion

Apex is the smoothest though

i have used- next, apex,nova,SPB shell,launcher 8- out of these the best i found is spb shell then next (looks)..

Had them all. Always returned to Apex.

oppan and
Nova has my vote. I love prime!

Nova all the way, my reason is because you can change drawer icons which you cant in other launchers ive tried. I also like the faster than light settings.

Nova + prime...

THat tablet launcher name ??

Nova is better launcher,

i am using nova
