Go locker

Anyone not familiar with it should check it out. Lots of new free themes that look pretty cool and spice up ya lock screen
From the Beast : Galaxy Note

I use Go Launcher, so I got Go Locker and it was real laggy to me . .I like the fact that it was fairly customizable but with the lag it was quicker just to use the regular swipe to unlock screen and then open an app. .
There are some cool themes and if it wasnt laggy it would be great. .

Go locker is a fake unlocker, you can bypass it with home button, at least it was a few months when I tried Go locker, maybe they fixed it now.
The best lockscreen is imo JKay AOSP Deluxe.

I didn't like the lag of go locker either. Waiting patiently for 4.0 as I really liked the stock lock screen on my galaxy nexus.

1. Go Locker isn't laggy!
2. For a month now, you can set it to not be bypassed by home button. Works on Galaxy S II and Note of course!

Hmm no lag for me either. I'm digging the Spiderman theme

Gotta agree with the lag issue. It does have a lot of nice themes, but the lagginess pushed me away and back to the stock lockscreen.

I wonder why some people experience lag and some don't. Wierd. It is completely lag free for me

Yes,but you have to set Go Locker as your home launcher to bypass the Home button.....
It's not a big issue for me,Go Locker doesn't lag as far as I'm concerned,
I use Metro UI locker works just hunky dory.

I found go locker and even go launcher to have a kind of 'bloaty' feel to them. I think a lot of the skinning and theming options are tacky and intrusive, ruining a streamlined OS feel.
I've settled on zeam launcher and stock lockscreen.

Can you run go locker lock screen apps with pin set? I'd like to make calls and take pictures from from a lock screen with a pin. The iPhone can do this.

Launcher Wars

Im considering switching to the Go Launcher for some of the Go Widgets compared to the ADW Launcher EX. What are the differences between them?

I find it hard to believe nobody has used either of these.

Why not just install it and compare them yourself? GoLaucher is p good, but I've never used ADW.

go launchers good, sslauncher is better.......by far.

Ive used both and prefer ADW EX over Go Launcher. I found Go Launcher used more RAM and still felt slower. ADW EX is very fast, much faster than my stock Motoblur and it has nice customization features.

go launcher has always felt faster and smoother than adw for me

I use adw launcher ex on my arc and it runs really smooth

Go launcher all the way!

Sure, you have to try both to find out what is better for your device/rom.
For me go launcher has more features than adw launcher ex, but adw launcher ex is smoother when I open app drawer; so I prefer adw.
Actually I'm testing 360 launcher...

ADW.Launcher is my favorite. They fixed the annoying bug in the hidden dock.
Go Launcher, APEX Launcher and MIUI's launcher are good also.

In my opinion, go launcher, becouse it have task killer app

I've used both when in Gingerbread so as to find the best launcher experience. I found that I actually switched back and forth quite frequently.
1. Go launcher used to be my premier until the bug was fixed in ADW.
2. Go launcher also had Go Locker and a number of additional widgets.
Bottom line, both were excellent and both received some $ from my purchase of the EX version (ADW) or for the locker skins (Go Launcher + Go Locker).
As I'm now trying out CM9 alpha, I'm staying on Trebuchet for build tests.
I think you are finding it difficult to get a full brand a list of features versus brand b list of features becuase they so closely duplicate each other. The exception is the large number of widgets and locker skins for Go. At the same time, ADW has been around for some great theme development.
When I used benchmarking applications, I couldn't tell any difference in performance, so that won't be a factor.

My opinion
Pro Launcher or Stock(TW)

I installed Apex on my Samsung Skyrocket 4g to get the real launcher in ICS but my Phone Dialer is still the same... Any suggestions to change the dialer too?

I have used both on gingerbread and i'm trying adw on honeycomb now. I think i prefer go launcher though. It's more "blingy" for me. I actually might be installing it later tonight to see how it runs under honeycomb.

Go Launcher, it feels much smoother than ADW but that's my opinion.

Go launcher
Go Launcher here. ADW always lagged more than Go Launcher on HTC legend + the widgets and customizability of Go Launcher seem better to me.

Its the matter of your device and ROM...for example im on stock 2.2 on ZTE BLADE and Go launcher lagging for me but ADW is amazingly fast. And i hate go launcher because of the big icons option...i want only big icons in dock not in drawer because it looks like corner for childs in the mall

[APP][2.1+]DX Home- very good launcher for any device!

DX Home​Very good launcher from Chinese developers!
He has many themes, lock screens etc.
I use it on 4.0.4 and he work excellent! Try it!

Will be great when authors let users delete Baidu's search widget and optimize RAM usage. Until then I'll be using QQ launcher which is similiar but has less features.

Unfortunately is laggy for my X10

The 360 launcher lags on your x10 device but does not lags on my x10 mini pro
Sent from my U20i using xda premium

And 360 doesn't have scrollable widgets.

if u could you might want to try and fix the brightness, if u change it using the built on widget or one built into your slide down status bar that only changes the launcher thing.
its nbd but only real flaw i see
this launcher is a keeper

Possibly one of the best launchers but i dont like the icons.
Using themes icons are small. and why it says APPS in appdrawer

Came across this a while ago. I like most of the features, but the app launch transition irritates me - despite having the ability to customise page transitions and app drawer transitions, there's no launch transition option, so it's not quite my cup of tea yet.

It's the launcher from a very nice rom. DX OS. Available for quite a few phones. Also have other apps on market from the rom. Search for Tapas Mobile.

Used DxHome for a few hours , 2 things i don't like about it , can't remove search widget from 1st screen & the home-screen transitions not very smooth (a bit laggy) on my SGS II i9100G !!
I appreciate the overall appearance of the home-screen & i also loved it's default icons !!

I used to have 3.0.4 and 3.0.9 versions on my samsung galaxy s i9000.
However 3.0.9 was the last version that ever worked well for me. Since this version all I get is very slow app drawer

Opinions on sense 4.1 vs 3rd party launchers.

Since 4.1 has started to make its way around now do you think it's worth keeping the sense launcher or do you still have a goto launcher that you prefer over sense?
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2

apex/nova are my favorites, never really liked sense.

With 4.1 Rosie and and 4x5 mod I'm very happy with sense.
Nova and apex can be smoother but i love the sense widgets
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

I use Apex myself. The free version of Apex has more features than Nova in my experience. The two things missing from Apex compared to Rosie are (1) the amazing Sense widgets and (2) the easy way to add widgets to the home screen.
You probably should just try out the different launchers for a few days each and pick your favorite. It is very much a personal taste thing.
You can always shell out a couple of dollars for HD Widgets or Beautiful Widgets to replace the sense widgets.
Here is my main home screen from Apex, and for reference.

I love the smooth clean look of sense. I've ALWAYS had problems with 3rd party launchers so I tend to stay away from them

I have 2 docks so Apex is a must. Love the swipe gestures too. My desktop setup also requires to be able to overlap widgets.
Gotta admit the Sense Widgets are very pretty and somewhat useful.

I use Nova Prime, which I have grown to love, but I miss the Sense widgets. Sense is actually a decent launcher. The only reason I'm still using Nova is because I used it on my Skyrocket and was able to keep my desktop backup. If I ever took the time to actually recreate my folders, I may switch to Sense.

nova
I like sense, but I feel a little too bounded or restricted or something. Just doesnt feel like it is as robust as it should be. no landscape, no scrollable dock,gestures or eyecandy customizations in sense, which is surprising cause it feels so choppy and laggy on 4.0.

I'm running CleanROM developer edition so I mainly only need sense for the camera and messaging features. I prefer a clean asop look so I can theme it to whatever I'm feeling at the moment. I really have no use for all the social widgets.

Samsung GameBox launcher

Anyone else try the new GameBox launcher? It was available for me in Galaxy Apps. Basically Game Launcher on steroids as it's an actual full-blown launcher that acts as a front end for all your games and incorporates all the Samsung game tools. Looks pretty, but I can't see using it as a full time launcher. I do have it set as a swipe action in Nova Launcher so I can access it by swiping the app drawer button.

It's not an app, it's an actual launcher. I use it like an app though by setting it via a shortcut through Nova Launcher.

Go to "Settings", "Applications", "Default Applications", "Home Screen", then select "GameBox" and hit the home key.

I have the S7 (non edge model) and was able to find and download this the other day on the Galaxy apps site but today I cant find it. is anyone else having this problem or was this originally intended only for the edge users?
*edit* never mind I found it on the google play store. it's now listed as an app that is not available in my country!

Thanks i use apex and made a icon of the app like you and it works perfect!!
Sorry for my english
