I am partial to Apex. Seems very fast compared to stock. I have used Holo on a non-ICS phone. It is nice too.

Go launcher is very customizable...

Nova launcher ftw.
butter and jelly please...

If you want space for tons of apps, use LauncherPRO. It shows icons at phone size.

Go launcher hd best hands down

I'm using Trebuchet from CM9 and it's very fast and stable. My guilty pleasure is the Koi Free Live Wallpaper, it's lots of fun, you'd swear the screen is wet! The Tablet flies like the wind without a hitch.

Apex and Nova are both very nice.
Holo and trebucket are not as refined. But usable if you don't require bells and whistles.

I use apex on both my phone and tablet

Tried them all, but in my opinion Go launcher Hd (tablet version) is the best. Main reasons: speed - much smoother than the others - and the overview of running apps.

GO Launcher HD is very smooth and simple I think. But you can't fully customize this launcher like GO Launcher EX

Will a new launcher allow you to go back to a stock-ish ICS launcher and expand the area on the display so you can move your icons farther up and down? TW seems like it limits the area you can move stuff to, its small! In the screen shot thread I see some guys running stock unrooter and have alot more space for icons and such. Is a new launcher the solution?

I'm loving the Apex Launcher now, coming from Go Launcher HD (which doesn't have anything as of yet and then Nova Launcher which is a bit better than Go.

Go launcher hd pad is best for my tab 2 p5100 - Stock

Apex now has a beta version. You can update from within the app (you need pro). This beta is about as fast as Go Launcher.

Once you install LPP you can actually uninstall MySense
LPP for sure and for keeps. Its going to take a phenominally better launcher and adw doesn't even come close to that requirement.

I used ADW but then moved to LPP soon after. ADW was a pain to resize widgets, LPP can do it on the fly + has much more features.

Ive tried many launchers and my favorite is LauncherPro due to its lite weight and very clean.
I had to move AWAY from Launcher Pro because it's a resource hog. Liking Go Launcher EX so far. At least a little quicker.
Launcherpro is my favourite, although I've never tried go. Been thinking about trying go to compare.
I've tried alot of them and kinda gave up and stuck with whatever the ROM I'm using has. I wish there was a way to take adw off if cm7 ...its almost useless lol.

Speaking of launchers, does anyone know where to get the Stock Gingerbread launcher?
My phone (stock root of 4.24) only has Sense available. Was bored and work and wanted to see what true stock Android looks like. I found the Gingerbread keyboard already, but all the ones in the market say they are mods of the stock launcher.
BTW, searching the EVO sub-forum for "gingerbread keyboard" gives me links to nearly ever recent ROM thread.

Search the market for "gingerbread launcher", there are several available.
I have both Launcherpro Plus and Adw Ex and while I generally prefer LPP, sometimes Adw just feels smoother...
I tried lpp and didn't really dig it too much. So I'm sticking with the adw that cm7 comes with for a while. I guess I just give up too quickly lol. Eh oh well

+1 - Go Launcher is great
@conquistador
Ditto. The ex version is do much better than the stock version that cubes with cm7. I also used go launcher ex got a while too. But their app drawer is kinda ugly, and they didn't have a 3d app drawer option when I last used it.
Swyped from my Beast Mode Evo!
Go launcher. Hands down. I like it's customization. Even though they are all highly customizable, I prefer go launcher and it's app drawer.

I found the actual ICS launcher to be superior to ADW and LP but this app isnt the actual launcher. If ever we get ICS I'll be done with ADW for a while.

Can you say where i can download tw launcher with 240 dpi??? Thx very much i love my note, my girlfriend hate my note because i spent very much time for it hahhaha
P. S. Sorry why i have a bad english
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
This is the wrong area, should be under,Q&A. But you can download an app that changes the screen density and alter the TW you already have. Search "screen density" in the market.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Thx very much
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
just be aware that when ya drop the density to make stuff smaller, ya end up with big gaps between the icons coz they are a blockm its unsightly, couldnt figure a way to solve this without installing a custom launcher like zeam, so i went back to 320 which i think is the best look for TW, i read somewhere the true density of the note is 285, so i dont get why its set at 320, but there ya go.
Search google/xda for tw 4.5. That should put you in the right direction.
Check sgs2 apps and theme section also
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
I did download the TW 4.5.
But with 240 dpi it fills only 60% of the screen. the rest s not usable.
I have a rom with bloom theme thanks to everybody for the answers

I tried tw 4.5 with 240 dpi but it sucks...

[BEST LAUNCHER] Zeam Launcher

Hey guys, heres a question that i'm pretty sure most of you guys always wondered,
What is the best launcher for your phone?
theres always options like apex, nova, and holo, and comments like how they're buttery smooth..
i've had many devices and i found that apex's scrolling has slight lag and icon loading when you come back to home, nova is smooth MOST of the time(which means it does lag sometimes), and holo is like a mixture of the two.
I hated sense for its appearance, but always ended up going back to sense because sense launcher is the smoothest of the four.., the scrolling is buttery just like an iphone/ipod, if you guys ever compared
So I've found a fix for all of that, ZEAM LAUNCHER. Zeam has not lagged at all since i've downloaded it, its scrolling is smooth, and snappy. I dont see any lag or low fps scrolling at all on it. AND it has the pure android look! Finally a launcher i'm satisfied with
so try it out, test the scrollings, compare it to your current launchers, tell me what you guys think about ZEAM launcher
PS was running cleanrom 5.0 and now running Viper 2.0, STILL best launcher!
Remember to click thanks if I made your phone faster

I do like the smoothness and stuff... but its too gingerbread-ish for me... I find the paid version of holo launched HD (plus) is my top launcher. Especially how you can control scrolling speed of homescreen and drawer. Good find though bro.

Gave it a whirl, and call me weird, but I really like Sense.

best not .... when i use another launcher is nova hands down the best imho
I'm also back to sense now, but I might try something else when I'll get bored. Haven't tried zeam since the vivid days, but I'll give it a go on hox, to see what's going on. I remember it's simplistic look though.

apex or nova for me. i've been using the free version of apex for over a month and haven't seen any lag or anything that would be disappointing. same with nova when I tested that out.
our phones are fast (even unrooted), they don't need a launcher built for slow/old phones to keep the lag away.
