I made a version of the original Launcher2 app that doesn't use renderscript or come with any wallpapers. It's for anyone who dislikes ADW Launcher in CM6.
In the spirit of douchiness, it's available on the Market for $2.99.
In the spirit of non-douchiness, it's also attached to this message.
Copy/pirate/steal as you please, or buy it if you want to help keep me drunk.
Please don't start a launcher war in this thread because we all know ADW is better than everything else.
nice to see you trying to make everyone happy, but I cant understand why anyone wouldnt like ADW...each to their own i suppose
lol yea right, thanks alot.
its weird that the stock android launcher sucked on my motorola milestone, but adw was really fast, but in the nexus one the stock launcher was fast, and adw in CM6 feels slow
(i use launcher pro plus anyway xD)
HAHAHA love this post
giggles
Man dis luncher iz to buggie fix it it erased all mI emails and now my I can't figure out how to turn my phone off I need a refund.... CYAN. Ogen
Oh, thank you Cyan. I hate ADW Launcher cause it has so many features and I'm an iPhone user and I hate options and I only run CM6 'cause Sense has too many features and [insert stupid **** here]

Ever since I installed this Launcher, my car's check engine light came on WTF?!?
Lmao @ last comment. Adw ftw tho!!
Warning!!!!! Don't install this!!! It rearranged my entire room in my sleep!! Wtf hax!
so i downloaded the launcher and installed it, now every time I hit home it asks me which one i want to use, if i click adw my icons are there and stuff, if i hit the other launcher, all my icons are gone WTF CYAN! I can't believe you release this kind of crappy application that is so buggy!
/sarcasm
hahaha nice post man! keep up the sick work! More donations coming because we all know a drunk cyanogen is a happy cyanogen.
ADW launcher is cheap and dirty. What's not to love about it?
Should we also make this the feature request thread for this launcher? Needs option for 7 home screens, four shortcuts in the dock, and maybe an option for some sort of swipe gestures.

Cool stuff, but ADW still trumps.
Can we get this without the 3d app drawer?
I personally love Launcher Pro Plus but I think it's just a matter of taste. Both are awesome 5-star launchers and both are highly customizable. LPP has awesome Sense widgets but ADW has themes (which I assume will eventually come to LPP). People who ***** about good apps need to stop using apps. I like ADW but like LPP more.
How can I add my LP pro widgets to this?
Also I want to change the number of columns and rows in the homescreens and drawer.
Can someone add the catalog feature from ADW to this?
As well as the edit homscreen thingie with the plus an minuses?
Any iphone themes for this yet?
edit:
where's my 3dz?

Launcherpro is in the market for free .it is a sense ui inspired launcher it does the whole pinch zoom home pages .also supports up to 7 home screens and even has a friend stream widget.I recently upgraded to a milestone and have missed my htc sense ui this will do for now until the port over the real sense ui...........spread the word
Friend Stream widget? Can't seem to find that option. Really good Launcher though.
¿?¿? I don't see any friend steam widget either
hm yeah, the launcher is nice. but not that nice as ADW launcher

try it on your own. for me it was fast, but i didnt like it
is there any way to customize / theme / metamorph Launcher pro?? I really like the pinch zoom effect and the launcher transitions, but i don´t like those 5 icons in the bottom.
my mistake the friend widget came with my 2.1 milestone updat never used it b4 so thought it cam with the launcher.this is a beta so expect changes ppl have told the app inventor to change thos icons on the bottom...
ADW launcher is ok no way is it better sorry......lancher pro is just like the htc sense ui launcher.it is super fast with no fc

needs to be more customizable, but daaaaamn
Launcher pro is very fast. I would switch to it if you could customize the dock bar.
I searched the market and didnt find it. I searched LauncherPro, Launcher Pro, LauncherPro Beta, Launcher. And didnt get anything.

Its only for android 2.0 or above. Not 1.5 or 1.6
i have a themed version, im still trying to figure out how to customize what apps are on there though
How is it like sense ui? It's just Helix Launcher, without the customizable shortcut keys, and few options (at the moment). ADW has the sense previews and whatnot too. I like this launcher too, but ADW is far more customizable and has many more options than LauncherPro, but what do you expect. It's early beta.
LauncherPro is good but overrated
I used LauncherPro all day. It is fast and sexy at first, but laggs the system down over time. Some widgets and apps behave strangely (including phone.apk ) with a lot of use. It doesn't support auto-rotate. There are no settings to customize anything whatsoever. All-in-all it's smooth &pretty but buggy (kind of like a stripper). ADW wins.
hi! will any of u guys here kind enough to pull the .apk to share here.. i've a nexus one and i couldnt connect to internet because i couldnt find the apn setting for this phone. to make it worse my nexus one also couldnt detect wifi at my workplace due to different class (or sthing like that).. help me plz!
thanks in advance~
I just posted a reply in Andrewtst thread. I wanted to know am I missing somewhere this widget is on the forum? Is it in the launcher itselfs settings somewhere? i've looked everywhere if you could please help me out andrewtst or someone else with that people sense-looking widget I just switch to adw from launcher pro because it takes multiple swipes with lp now to get from homescreen to homescreen. with all my widgets adw still only takes one swipe.

And if you're not talking about that "sense-like people widget" then you are a very confused individual for posting irrelevant questions in the wrong thread.
And if you don't even have a paypal account to buy stuff, then that's too bad really.
OK, good news! First the bad news. The contact sidebar doesn't scroll at all, so forget that POS. Now, the good news is called Scrollable ContactWidget BETA and is on the market, it works with ADW and launcher pro, and scrolls! Yay, finally someone made one. Goes nice with Pure calendar and messenger scrolling. Now we need a scrollable bookmark widget.... There is one, but it sucks.
ps. no need to go ape**** y'all!!
You all pretty much covered the options; LauncherPro Plus, Contact Sidebar, and Scrollable Contact Widget Beta.
Before you go out and purchase one though, I know I only need 2 quick contacts, So another option is simply making a "Shortcut" to a "Contact". Works mostly the same, but i recommend if you only need a few.
I know it seems stupid, but I've bumped into 3 people that asked me what app that is, only to find its built in. Just trying to pass on to maybe a 4th person who hasn't played with their phone enough.

Nope, won't be helping you, even if I had the perfect answer. Way to be a jerk.
Hi guys! I use GoLauncher EX themes all the time on my Nexus and wonder if there's any alternatives?
There's ADW launcher EX and Launcherpro plus but you have to pay for them to get all the features.
I used Launcherpro for nearly 2 years and I tested Go launcher recently. There's so many options in Go launcher that so far I don't see any reasons why I'd use any other launchers for now.
There's other launchers too like spb shell (15$? lol),zeam, quickdesk and alot more.
But I haven't tested them :/.
ADW EX is pretty close to go launcher. Alot of options.

Zeam is nice cut and dry
I'm a big fan of ADW EX. I've tried about all of them and always come back. You'll find people that love it like me and others that hate it, but I guess it's all about personal preference.
I've used launcher pro, asw, zeam, and go launcher and I much prefer go launcher. Fast, stable, lots of options, good widgets, and free.

another vote for Go Launcher EX, it's simply the best
I switched to it a week ago and love it. Some of my friends stuck with adw cuz it requires less ram than go, but they have nexus 1 and other older androids rather than nexus s.

I'm a big Launcher Pro fan but not being able to lock the launcher was killing me. I've tried ADW, Regina, QQ, and Go, my favorite is Zeam but it doesn't support scrollable widgets...
I'm sticking with GO for now as I can lock the screen so my son doesn't uninstall things nor can he move my homescreens
Ok, I've tried ADW. Works well, but if I compare it with GO Launched I would still prefer the latter.

the free version of ADW lacks a lot of features
to be as good as Go Launcher EX, you will need to purchase the paid version of ADW EX
it's really hard to find anything that can compare up to Go Launcher EX
even i'm in search of a better Launcher, but nothing measures up to now.
I do not dislike Go Launcher EX
just the people making themes for it are all into money, it's getting harder and harder to find good free themes
all the good themes that was available in the market were removed by the DEV and replaced with a paid version of the same.
Have a try

Same here. Tried Nova but didn't like it.
Depends on your preference, and what you're looking for out of each launcher.
Bells and whistles are fun, and with the hardware of the Note 4, it'll handle most RAM guzzling launchers smoothly.
That said, you can't beat Nova for pure functionality.
HOWEVER, if you like a bit of eye candy, and use other apps (ie. LazySwipe, LMT) to compliment your launcher, then I'd suggest giving a few others a try:
1) Aviate - good balance of functionality mixed w/ a bit of Google Now intuitiveness. Bit of a battery hog, but not enough to complete hate it.
2) Next Launcher 3D - amazing aesthetics w/ a lot of customization. Borders on overkill, but is fun to play around with.
3) Buzz Launcher. Functional, w/ plenty of user-submitted skins to apply.
Nova Prime. Been using it for years.

Try out the regular Nova Launcher. You get most of the features and can easily get the feel for the launcher. You can also easily see in the app what additional features you gain by purchasing.
I moved to Nova on my Note 3 and have used it consistently ever since. I've tried others but they never hold up against Nova. Nova is quick and responsive. Great support for widget and shortcut placement resizing and editing and no extemporaneous bloat that just slows things down.

And my response was: try out the free version and see if you like it. Only a few features are reserved for the paid version and they are visible in the launcher settings so you can see, after playing with the launcher, if those extra features are something you would want to pay for.
Lexun home if you like any launcher just like windows phone
You get plenty of option to download themes although the pre loaded theme is very bad i would say
