I currently have CM 6 installed and it's great. Although I don't like the launcher that comes with it, which is ADW. I have Launcher Pro instead and use that as my default. However I noticed that ADW still has some processes running and I wanted to know if I could push Launcher Pro to the phone and have it be the primary launcher instead of ADW? Would that save some memory on my phone?
I've always used Launcher Pro on my phone devices. But Loading LP on the Transformer seems a little weird on the larger screen space.
So I've just been running the stock launcher which is really fine, but what most people use?
Stock or what?
ADW EX. I like the location of "My Apps" on the stock launcher but I can't stand at how limited and the gaps between 1 screen to another.
ADW EX seems to be doing fine on my end. Just wish the "My Apps" on top right was still there.
Anyone tried that "Honeycomb" launcher based off ADW?
I tried regular ADW EX and it was iffy. The lost space around the edges does suck on the stock.

Which launcher is that? Vite launcher or something? And yeah. When I first got the tablet I didn't notice the empty space until I went to ADW EX. I was like, wow I can't go back.
I really do love "My Apps" on the top right. On ADW EX I disabled the dockbar on the right so its the home screen only.
Google decided stupidly to limit folder size to 16 apps like I was using an iphone or something.
Is their a mod available that brings back the "unlimited" folders like in gingerbread?
im am not shure there is a mod for that, but what i know is there is a better launcher out there similar to ics launcher but has more customization(better):
trebuchet launcher
Nova launcher

nova launcher wont let me change maximum apps in a folder.
still locked at 16
The original version of Nova Launcher allowed 25 apps in the folder. I wonder if the update to 4.0.3 messed that up...
i just installed Apex launcher. I don't know how does this launcher thingy work on my phone... i know it's sort of like a app that changes my "home screen". but what happened to my original launcher? is it still running in the background? will choosing default as apex launcher kill the original launcher that comes with the phone? if not, wouldn't it take a lot more ram and kill the battery since there are 2 launcher running at the same time? sorry it might be a dumb question, i'm still new to android...
I really don't like the default app drawer, so I am looking for a 3rd party replacement. So far I have used Nova Launcher Prime on the previous phone, which one do you recommend?
i used to use nova launcher on my previous phones ( SG3, OPO...) and now on my S7 : i'm still satisfied!!!!
Smart Launcher or Nova for me. I am currently on Smart Launcher because it has been flawless on my s7 with running the animations in/out of launcher and it is pretty much a single home page launcher, which I prefer.
S Launcher Prime
Nova Launcher all the way! :good:
Have used this launcher exclusively on all my phones for the past many years.
Nova for sure

I have paid for Go Launcher, Apex Launcher and Nova Prime. Nova Prime hands down!
S-Launcher Prime here (no S7 for me, I'm just lurking)
All the TW devices I've owned (S3/4/5/Grand Prime) stutter horribly with the stock launcher. TW just uses too many resources.
Why S-Launcher specifically? 3 simple reasons:
1 - low storage use. Very small app
2 - low performance impact. Uses next to no ram
3 - "clean ram" button. My favorite feature. Swipe from the left edge and tap the broom next to ram usage. Cleans out any background running apps, freeing up ram and speeding up your device.
Another great launcher to consider is the Cyanogenmod launcher (apk from an actual Rom, not the fake one in the Play Store). Since your on MM, grab the apk online or from any CM13 rom. Very lightweight and also saves on resources.
Y'all S7 owners are lucky with that 4gb ram, so not sure why every video I've seen reviewing the unit (plus having played with it in store) the launcher just chokes.
Nova/Apex/GP Launcher have nice theme options (not GP) but they're just as bad at hogging resources as TW and can stutter under load.
First thing I did was put Nova in there. They have the fastest updates for features that I can remember. Anyone remember the start of this? ADW, LPP, GO for froyo
I used to use Themer by MyColorScreen
Apex!

Hmmm!! One man's food is another man's poison...
While people are busy hating on the new s7 launcher,i would be very very grateful if someone could just help and extract their TW Home apk(the launcher) so i can try on my phone. Pleeeeeeeeeeeease!!
Apex here. Been using it for years.
What benefits does Nova have over Apex?
i like the CM launcher but could i use it on stock?

Why change?
What are you missing out on.
I've owned nova for years but there's almost nothing missing on stock this time. The only thing is pull down notification shade gesture and that's not working properly on nova anyway.
So. What else.
