same question here
adw is almost unusable

I found the same thing pretty much, that's why I've kept with TW for now, and to be honest, this is the only device I can actually cope with Touch Wiz on lol.

Hey guys.. found a solution for now..
Im using launcherpro and i bumped all the opening speeds up to max etc, now theres no lag when opening stuff!

thanks I'll try

think i may of been to quick off the mark.. still some lag on scrolling

Yeah, LP has been the best performing launcher on all my devices to date and i too bump all the speeds to ten but i get lag, ill just twiddle thunbs till ICS

Exactly the same here, Launcher Pro is no match for the stock TW....

The same here GoLauncher EX was too laggy...TW seems to run smoother than others---

I use Go Launcher EX and don't find it lags at all. I did use Titanium backup to stop TouchWiz launcher and its widgets from running.
Also you can download Spare Parts Pro for free and set Windows and Transition Animations to fast, this will speed up all the animations on the phone.

Hey I'm also using GoLauncher and at first there was a little lag but I solved it in this way:
Goto Preferences, Screen settings, Screen Transition Effects, Custom, and set Speed = 25 and Elastic = 55.
I've done that and its very usable, still stutters on drawing a GoWidget but I only have one so it's all good
I'd say increasing the speed would cause more stutter as its trying to redraw faster, so slower is the key.
I can't wait until they fully utilise the gpu as that seems to be causing the issue, either that or the fact that I haven't fully disabled TouchWiz..

hmm, my note should arrive either later this week or early next week. i might try out shell3d to see if it works well with the note.

Try zeam launcher and disable wallpaper scrolling in the settings. The smoothest launcher I was able to use on the note.

Launcher [request]

Is there any way someone can port touchwiz 4.0 from the T-Mobile galaxy s 2 to work with our kj6 roms? (Valahalla, octane v3, etc). I know about touchwiz 4.5 but its very unstable on my phone for some reason and its app sorting in the app drawer does not work. I love how smooth tw4 is compared to others like launcher pro and adw and I just think it looks soo much better. I appreciate it if anyone can help. I'm sure other memebers would like this as well. Thanks!

Follow the instructions and it will work.
Furthermore, I'm running Valhalla- it comes with this launcher, the modified touchwiz 4, on there. You do not need this for valhalla.

That's tw4.5 though..... it has made my phone reboot ever since froyo days. Whenever I do something ram intensive on that launcher, my phone reboots. I never experience that with others like launcher pro. And how the app drawer doesn't sort properly is a pain. Thanks for the help though..

Actually I made the cwm zip from an apk I found while googling for touch wiz 4.0 apk lol it worked so I thought it was worth posting. I've never used 4 or 4.5 and I got the wrong one, lol sorry for the confusion. It was mislabeled and I have no experience with the either of them. Sorry for getting confused guys ill try to find 4.0 tonight again lol

The 4.5 comes from the fact that it was a modified version of 4. This launcher automatically comes configured with the stay in ram feature selected- it's been awhile but I am sure that Launcherpro has that feature as well, but it is by default off. Try disabling that and see if it just fc's the launcher (thus resulting in a restart of the launcher) as opposed to your phone crashing. Thats really the only thing that would separate it from other launchers. You can turn the 3d effects off as well to help with the ram. I always make sure to kill passive processes- then again I do not use octane so I am not sure how it runs.
I never had problems with the app drawer. You can change the sorting preferences in the preferences menu of the launcher. It is by default on unrestricted, but you can change it to alphabetical.

I tried turning that off, launcher won't even open anymore so I had to reinstall it. Tried running it for a day but it just doesn't work on my phone which is currently running valahlla final. I have the app drawer set to alphabetical but it still doesn't sort properly. If I install a lot of new apps or delete a lot of apps, there are lots of blank spaces and the only way to get rid of the spaces is to manually move each app one by one which is really a big pain. I just want stock touchwiz 4. I hope someone can get it to work on this phone. After playing with my brother's galaxy s 2, none of the launchers on the market feel anywhere close to that smooth.

Yeah go launcher is pretty good. Still isn't as fast as launcher pro though. I really wish we had a stock touchwiz 4 launcher for this phone. Tw4.5 freezes too much and no other launcher out there really comes close to how fluid tw4 is. I've tried like every launcher in the market too.

LOL, what?
Apex launcher..

Im actually using Go Launcher and it also has widget resizing!!
and its pretty cool... folders on app drawer... folder on home screen... and pretty much customizable

APEX, fast and simple.

Nova Launcher
The version Prime of Nova Launcher is the best ... most personalized launcher ...

"FTL (Faster Than Light)" by LowVeld - written for the HTC Desire S. By far the quickest and most stable add-on launcher ever. :good:

Yeah, and you can even overlap widgets and icons!

Have a look at this thread. It's got a few different launchers and lockscreens shown in there and I'll be updating it upon request. Even though it's only showing the information from the Play Store, it's still much easier to have them all in one place, like it is.

Holo Launcher is one of my favorite ! : here
You can try the Xperia-home launcher --> it's a great launcher, fast and powerfull. A lot of custom romm use it by default.
And FTL (Faster Than Light) launcher --> really great too and not discontinued so it'll improve ^^

Until today I've tried holo, adw ex, go launcher.
I think I stick to adw, it has cool animation, 4d drawer and eats an admissible amount of ram.
Go launcher is freaking nice but kills down my phone.
Holo is the fastest I've tried but lacks in customization.

Use GO launcher, the ability to customize will blow your mind!

Try looking at Holo Launcher. It offer most of what you would find on Apex and Nova and it can even run on Froyo.

Holo Launcher is another excellent choice it offers a lot of the features found on ICS launchers but is compatible with Jelly Bean. It is also very lightweight, doesn't use a lot of memory, and offers silky smooth performance from my experiences with it.

Whem i was on 2.x.x i used Launcher Pro, may be the best launcher ever.Sad that it's discontinued.GooglePlay Link

Lightning Launcher is really fast, and takes up barely any ram, with lots of features, just a big learning curve, and not as easy to set up as Holo or Adw. Launcher.

Holo Launcher is basically all you need on GB, light and fast.
there is also ADW Launcher.
Don't even try Go Launcher on low end phone, it's just bloatware.

I tried till now every single one of those launcher and the most usefull is holo launcher but you need to spend on it some money so it can be good too bad
