[Q] Launcher? - HTC One S

Which launcher do you guys use on the One S?
I upgraded thinking Nova or Apex would be smooth, but the app drawers remain laggy.
The experience is poor really, on any ROM. Any other launchers out there that work better?

I use Apex. Why I prefer Apex than Nova ? I don't know really lol. They are alike a lot. Perhaps Apex is more light ...

Love the pic.

AW: [Q] Launcher?
I prefer Nova Launcher. Allready used in in ICS with a (sometimes) laggy drawer. In JB its running very smooth without a single lag. I also tried Apex and I think its nearly the same but I like the Nova possibility to create own groups in drawer.

Which version of Nova do you use? I actually bought the app way back but the app drawer is horrible for me now.

I use Next Launcher 3D and its just great...with no lugs just very smooth and fast...

You have to side load them and it will work (I verified ADW EX). It will look a little bit weird, but once you disable the dock, and increase the rows from stock 4 to like 10 vertical and horizontal its somewhat okay.
I just stuck with default launcher in the end though. I like the new apps drawer better haha
Adw ex is now avalable in app store but scrolling is very laggy and the icons are blurry. Laincher pro seams to be the only graphic accelerated alternative browser
There's a new version of adwex 1.3.0 optimize for honeycomb (hardware accelerated) i've been using it for the past hour and its way smother than the stock launcher...
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using XDA Premium App
ADW EX just got an update, added experimental honeycomb support

Its okay, i would like it more if i could make the launcher bar horrizontal

I tried VTL today but it was a bit laggy so I went back to the stock launcher for the time being.
seams like I was using an old adw disreguard my previous post. Wow this launcher is butter smooth. Only thing that makes it laggy is live wallpaper like usual. But wow graphic acceleration is where its at. Def worth the couple bucks in market. FYI set scrolling speed to 420. I tested all speeds and this ones the best
I've been using VTL for the past week. Overall its good. One thing I cant do is reboot my TF if VTL is set to default launcher. If I do then my TF will get stuck on the Asus welcome screen. Happen twice already only way to fix it is to wipe of the OS.
Been using the newer ADW Ex for a day or so. A couple FCs but he issued some updates that mostly fixed it.
The only thing I don't like is the bar being vertical only but it is not a big deal.

Ugh.. "/

I'm losing interest in my phone... anyone got ideas for cool new launcher or something to spark love back with my g2x
I can honestly say although this phone is amazing and fast
I miss htc yeah yeah crappy quality bad screens and sense but for some reason every day I debate on taking the mt4g back from my wife LOL
But this screen is too nice and much faster....

There are at least 6 launchers to choose from. Probably more. Take your pic.
1. ADW Launcher
2. Launcher Pro
3. Stock Launcher, lol.
4. Launcher 7
5. Go Launcher
6. Zeam Launcher
also the Regina Launcher..
out of the list, I've gone with Go Launcher as it's the most stable for me. ADW I tried several times but it keeps screwing up, notification bar goes missing, etc.. so I just dumped it altogether
SPB Mobile Shell, not my favorite but lots of eye candy.

I concur. Although SPB Shell is not my choice but surely a beautiful "creation". Lol
P.S. You can also try using the Sense clock widget on your main screen. I've have it setup where if I double tap on the "hour area" it launches the "Go weather app/widget" which is really cool. Also try different launchers thar give u an option to also customize your icons. For example:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

Install as normal apk. I renamed my twlauncher in /system/apps to prevent it from from loading on reboot. Rebooted (by pressing home+vol_down). I have added the tested version of apk.
Is it better compared to adw launcher?speed wise i mean to ask..
I test it. And I think this launcher is pretty good (speed and smooth).
But I prefere LauncherPro
Thx for sharing.
Not preferred ....
Ya its a good launcher..smooth and fast....but it drains the battery very fast.....so not for long battery needers......I prefer zeam launcher...or tw3
question for developer?

[APP] LMT Launcher for PIE Control

Hi All!
I stumbled upon this app LMT Launcher which gives PIE Controls (as seen on recent Paranoid ROMs) to ANY Rooted device.
Basically, it's just like the side controls on stock Jelly Bean (and ICS) 4.1 browser except for the whole device!

Don't work for me on beanstalk how did u do it?
sent from my bean infested infuse
Makes a nice clean home screen.
I really want to use this as a solid replacement for my dock and status bar.
Home button for the app drawer.
Gotta change icons for camera and phone.
Still looking for the actual contacts app.
Wondering about folders cause that would be cool too.
Also RAM and Battery bars.

Best Launcher ever! Xperia 206b & a workatound fix. No root needed.

Update
You can use any wallpaper you want but it shows as black, some skewed icons in app drawer bottom row. No other issues on Moto Z.
Good news: The folder bug does not exists for the Z!
I cannot find a more satisfying launcher in spite of its "no folder" bug.
The TSF was too much of a Hog.
I have moved on to TSF Shell. It has all the features of Xperia & more. Worth the price too.
If you create a folder it will not last. While the workaround fixes the loss of icons. Lossed folders are also a consequence of the initial bug.
In fact may be the cause of the bug.
Therefore folder creation is not allowed on any homescreen! !
Those on launcher pro plus OR nova launcher can put the xperia app drawer in place of the stock app drawer. Xperia drawer button in center, Nova button on right.

Xperia drawer
On the msm8960's, which includes the x, the launcher is marred by the Bootup condition where (sometimes) homepage icons/shortcuts are missing. A launcher/settings > restart launcher is a fix.

Can you sort apps by install time?
If you use launcher pro plus or Nova prime, you get tremendous shortcut creation features, to the level that you may add the xperia app drawer to the LPP bar instead of the stock drawer.

Well I use smart launcher pro 3 for my default launcher it keeps everything organized and neat.
