What's your favorite launcher? I'm trying to figure out witch one I like most. Some are to much some are not enough. I'm liking apex at the moment. I've tried go, nova, adw. What's your input?

I used to use Go all the time, but switched to Nova fairly recently, and am very happy with it. The only thing I miss from Go is the "recent apps" window in the app drawer, but the built-in recent apps menu is pretty close in functionality.
I've tried about all of them and keep coming back to Apex. The free version allows you to use some gestures that Nova charges for. I didn't like the recent update because it was giving me problems dropping apps in folders so I am using an older version.
I used to use Go but switched to Nova after I tried all of them, became a favorite of mine.

I've been playing with the HAX launcher. It's definitely different.

I use Nova Launcher, so fast its really good ( and using CleanROM 4.5) so its really good with performance and stability.
Using nova here as it was on sale for only 25 cents a month or so ago... Hard to pass that up. Before that was just using touchwiz and on my DROID eris back in the day I used adw and maybe go launcher.

Good to know adw is running good.

Caught between ADW (newest release really speeds up the drawer) and LP...options are a good thing.
I've been using ADW EX since getting the phone and on my nexus one. The drawer was always a bit slow on first load, but works awesome after

Stock has the smoothest app drawer out of any of them. And I don't resize widgets or use scrollable widgets so I just stick with the default.
I use lp and it hasn't caused problems nor lag. I set the app drawer to 3D verticle which is identicle to the stock one and its super fast...very zippy
Adw is good too. Its a preference thing so I prefer lp

ive been using ADW EX on mytouch4g and just got my lg g2x and its running great expecially with the new update that just came out today. it has way more easier access to customization.
its well worth the couple bucks$
I moved to launcher pro. Adw is my favorite for options. But LP is just fast.

Go for it. Just make sure you got it (app drawer) set to the fastest setting then you'll see what we're talking bout

Did you read my launcher reviews? Launcher Pro used to be king of speed on the G2x but with the recent update from ADW which allows the launcher to take advantage of duel core CPU's by allowing the use of hardware acceleration. Using the paid version of ADW speeds up the entire G2x as a whole. Now the ball is in LP's court. They need to retake the king of speed back from ADW.

It is lightning fast and was the quickest until ADW just optimized theirs with a update yesterday. I didn't think anything could compete with LP but ADW really stepped up to the plate with there hardware acceleration update. By the way. You only get hardware acceleration in ADW EX. It's worth every penny as it makes the entire phone quicker and more smooth.

Would like to get you people's opinion if I should replace the stock launcher with either ADW Ex or LP+?
Thanks advice is much appreciated

I use go launcher...its a matter of taste. Go just happens to have an appdrawer design I like and atheme I enjoy. Just download a few and see what works.

I downloaded 4 different launcher apps, and used the Home Screen Switcher to test them out.
Its quick and convenient, and you'll never be bored of the look on the device.
Launcher pro for me, the Widgets are nice and the swipe feature to see miss calleds or SMS is the best, I had it over a year now, I use adw but didn't like it as much

Does both of them consume alot of battery compared to stock launcher ... ?
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA Premium App
There should be no diffwerence in battery consumption. I really like LP but ADW is also very good and like stated above it is really a personal preference I have the paid versions of both
ADW does do quite a bit of theming if that is your thing start there first

You sure you're on the latest update?
I use go launcher also, and have no problems.
I even uninstalled tw, and go launcher is my only launcher.
If you have titanium backup pro, try freezing tw, and see if that stops the issues you're having.

I'd be especially careful when freezing TW. Make sure that you NEVER delete your launcher, because if you do even accidentally, you're screwed.
I did that once. Whole damn screen stayed black. I was trying out several launchers and was using sbp shell and did not like it. I messed around not paying attention and deleted it before switching default launchers. For like a half hour I just kept hitting buttons and through the grace of god got the little use this by default pop up for my launchers. I must say the whole experience sucked.

Same here, tw gets uninstalled as soon as I make sure go launcher is working properly.
I just freeze it for a couple days, and if nothing happens, I just smack that uninstall button!

Nova launcher gives you these options and then some. You can put widgets, folders, I'm the app try. The app try is also scrollable (left to right)

Honesty though, its all preferqnce really, but power users hate ALL stock launchers, tw included
A friend of mine is convinced there is a way to get the touchwiz widgets to work with nova launcher running on synergy rom. I'm not buying it and figured I'd post it out.
So is it possible?? If so how'd you go about doing it??
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
I'm pretty sure all the stock samsung widgets need TW to run.
As far as I know there is no way to get widgets designed for a particular launcher to work in another. It can be one of the drawbacks of using a custom launcher.
What widgets are you interested in? There's probably quality alternatives out there.
Since I posted this today I found Widgets that are pretty much the same thing as the TW ones. Thanks!!
