[Q] Go Launcher or ADW Launcher Ex? - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Wondering what you guys prefer. Go Launcher or ADW Launcher Ex.
I know Go launcher has alot more themes and launcher but ADW Launcher Ex has more customizations. Just like to know what you guys think. Oh and if you guys know, the default theme on Go Locker, can you get it for ADW Launcher Ex?

I prefer the go launcher because only this launcher has the easy-to-use grouping function in app drawer.

Go Launcher EX is better,stable and fully customizable.

Adw lancher ex, but I suggest you try apex and nova launcher, are the best.

do you really needs all of these customize settings ?
i think GO is enough for most people

Nova on ICS.

[Q] Flashing a launcher?

Is it possible to flash a launcher to be the default launcher? (Looking at AOSP Laucher - (I'm looking to get a launcher of that style not necessarily that launcher)). I currently have that launcher but it is not "default" to me in a sense that it shows up as a task. If it is possible to flash a launcher, how may I do it?
I am more concerned about getting the style of bar on the bottom home screen so that I can also use it in landscape mode (Andromeda 3)
Thank-you for your patience and understanding, I'm a noob!
App adw launcher on market place should be able to do all that, it'll give you the option to make default.

You can flash a launcher, but you don't have to.
Launcher can be installed like any other app and set as default.
A launcher is installed just like any other APK not flashed. ADW EX is a great launcher. I personally prefer LauncherPro, there is a paid version and free version. For an easy way to switch between the launchers, you can download an app called Home Switcher which will allow you switch launchers from the app drawer. You can find it in the Market. Another great launcher would be GOLauncherEX which has a ton of skins and modifications.
Ahh thanks guys. I found a rom serendipity seven. It has my favorite launcher so I'm good to go!
Sincerely,
Your Noob.

Something better than stock ICS Launcher....

Ok ICS stock launcher is better than HC...but i'm looking for some better.
Any suggest?
I used to have ADW Launcher. Today i discovered Apex Launcher, which is basically the stock launcher with added features. It's mega smooth and stable, and free
The thread is in the Galaxy Nexus forum.

ADW Launcher work fast on ICS?
You should try Nova Launcher i use it both on my Transformer and my I9100, i like it! ;-)

I just started using ADW Launcher EX, paid the $3.00 for it, and love it so far but haven't even begun to scratch the surface...
Apex Launcher. Best ICS launcher hands down.
Nova launcher has been pretty sweet so far, similar to stock which I like with added features. Silky smooth, not too many transitions though.

Nova launcher! Best out there

Nova Launcher is available in the Android Marketplace?
At present I'm using Nova on both the TF-101 and the SG2. Liking it (esp the ability to save the configuration).
I do have ADW EX (got it on the US$0.10 sale) but have never actually used it.
Have heard good things about Apex Launcher though.
And then there is always Go Launcher....
Oh, and yes, Nova is available in the Market.
Adw Launcher Ex
highest level of customization
Not ICS exclusive (not sure if it affects performance on ICS)
the only launcher I know that can handle HD live wallpapers without scrolling lag.
Doesn't show widgets in app drawer
Apex
ICS exclusive
decent amount of customization
can't customize folder icons
icon labels disappear if you set desktop grid rows to 8 or higher
Shows downloaded apps and widgets in app drawer if rooted and the launcher is installed as a system app
Nova
ICS exclusive
less customization options than the other 2
can customize folder icons
icon labels disappear if you set desktop grid rows to 8 or higher
background for app drawer is black. Can't make it show the wallpaper
most simple and easiest to set up out of the 3
Shows widgets in app drawer if rooted. Doesn't require installation as a system app
I used ADW on honeycomb. Now I am using Nova. It would be perfect for me if I could remove the black background in app drawer. I tried apex and it felt too much like a beta, which it is. I will most likely switch to apex when it matures.
best for ICS are Trebuchet, Nova, or Apex

ADW looks slow.
Tonight i'll try Nova vs. Apex
Using ADW EX right now. I like to keep my home screen to a minimum and since titles me maximize the screen I can put the widgets and app shortcut I need all in one screen. Also it lets me change the drawer background with I set to about 60% transparent.
On my nexus I use Nova.

Noticed a problem with Nova. When you shift the tablet to portrait the screen real estate is not so great and you lose a lot of space at the bottom and top.
I know you can change the row amount, but anything over 8 and when in landscape you don't get the app name showing up or the widget is slightly cut off.

Nova for me!
using it for a while now and it's smooth as butter, but i read good things about apax too, you should try them both and decide what works for you
I use apex, it's the best.

When i originally tried Apex i didn't like it. I gave it another go but this time pushed out to system/app instead of just installing as a regular app. Seems to work much better for me that way.
In apex I change the change screen method to cube. This is very smooth in portrait.

Apex Launcher
You can also use different launchers ie Go Launcher, Holo, Launcher Pro, ADW Launcher but I recommend one of two above.
Have fun!
I think even Mokee OS launcher has the same view. BTW its based on ADW launcher.
That is Nova/Apex with Click UI theme..
