You can try out.
ADW.launcher
HelixLauncher
LiveHome
GDE (not free)
All are on the market.
I have Launcher pro as my default right now but I think that LiveHome may be quicker. I also hear that aHome has a new beta out.
Launcher pro! Super fast
ADW Launcher is what I use. It is free and open source. Plenty fast too.
ADW is pretty fast for me D: .. i didn't eve bother with touchwiz lol LP was nice as well..
ADW. It even has themes now.
ADW is the way for me, works great !!!
I use LP..
Wish it had innate theme capability..
I currently use stock Nexus One launcher. like it very much.
Check out the donate version of LP (get free version then do in app upgrade) the calendar widget is pretty baller, I find myself unable to live without it now

I wish I could change dock background in ADW
I wish Notification tab would be back in ADW
I wish I could have dots in LP (with Captivate lack of trackball and bottom icons too close to my left palm)
I wish I could change desktop columns amount in LP
Used to use LauncherPro, but now using ADW because:
1) Supports more columns and more rows (needed especially after changing LCD Density to 200, works great with 5 columns and 6 rows (LP max is 4 columns and 5 rows)
2) It seems that ADW closes a lot less because it uses less ram, and also seems to load apps quicker (?)
same here i use to use launcher pro then switched to adw launcher and im liking adw better i just miss the 3d app drawer but i like scrolling horizontally better tho
I used to use ADW, but I switched to Launcher Pro. I plan on alternating between the two (one of the reasons to love Android). I'm now using Launcher Pro because of:
*3D app drawer
*hidden apps
*multiple docks
*appearance (I like the icons)
*speed
I'll echo the opinion that ADW and LP are the best.
ADW and LP Dev's need to team up and make a super launcher...
If LP had a horizontal app drawer id be in heaven. Until then adw is win.

Dude.. I'd be sooo psyched if that ever happened lol
Launcher Plus Pro, love love love the calendar widget
Hello to all my fellow xda-developers...
I was wondering what your personal favorite choice for homes are.
personally I use Zeam, its simple, straightforward, and has a dock! Unfortunately it is still missing some features that I absolutely desire (specifically an organizable app drawer).
Well anyway on to my question........
What is your favorite home replacement?
We all have heard of those such as:
Launcher pro
Zeam
GDE
AHome
PandaHome
OpenHome
Others....
And then there are those that come default:
HTC sense
MotoBlur
TouchWiz
Xperia X10
(yes i know those are UI's but they have custom home's too)
So which style adorns your home screen?
do we really need another one of these threads? anyway i say launcher pro, simply because it's awesome.
i prefer launcher pro plus

Agreed.
... but this does make this useless thread better
launcher pro plus gets my vote

LauncherPro.
i really liked SweeterHome. it;s really a fanastic launcher and it certainly has potential beyond all but LauncherPro. but it's a terrible ***** theming it. i walked away after a few days...
SweeterHome 2 is coming out, should be worth a look. anyway, LauncherPro is everyone's final answer but tell me this isn't beautiful: http://sweeterskins.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Borderline_promo.jpg
Launcher pro plus
I really liked Slidescreen, but it was a bit too heavy for my G1 - I imagine it would be superb on a bigger screened/more powerful phone. A major departure from every other home replacement, with a pretty steep learning-curve, but very pretty.

Launcher Pro Plus
Don't wanna be a pain, but what use of info do we get out of this ?
There are alot of people with different flavours, but don't we get to see this in the post your homescreen section ?
Sorry for this question
Greetz.
im using launcher pro plus and different themes from colormeandroid dot com
Which is better? I have launcher pro paid version which I love but I keep hearing good things about adw ex so what do you guys think?
Sent from my HERO200
i been using adw launcher ex i love just because u can customise almost everything plus its fast and works great no prob at all plus u can purchase themes
I just tried adw ex and I have to admit its cool but it doesn't have messaging or face book widgets which is kinda a deal breaker for me
Sent from my HERO200
Until adw ex has a option to change the dock bar like LPP I am sticking with LPP
I am a LPP fan

Sent from my Sprint SuperHero
My guess would be anyone that's tried LPP would say "use LPP" mainly because most become partial towards its widgets.
Especially those who've used signal's themed launcher pro widgets
I love ex allot faster then the old one. I am not much for widgets, yes they are very cool. But every time I use widgets it kills my battery faster. Both pro and ex have there down sides but then again they have there pluses. It is really just going to take you trying both out. Good luck.
Gingerbread....................
It's what heros crave!
Ex is pretty damn fast tho and has some cool transition effects

Yeah, I am not a widget fan either. The only one I really use is the LPP calendar. If Ex had that, I'd be all over it

Agreed. I like the home screen transitions and speed in Ex, but like I said above, I like the calendar widget in LPP. So rather than having two apps (another calendar widget and Ex), I stick with LPP and get a two for one...yeah, I like minimal apps
Before you pay for adw ex or LPP, give "go launcher" a try.
my payment failed for adw ex this morning and i couldn't get it to work...well in the process I saw go launcher. Tried it.. and holy crap. I love it. It has so much stuff. It runs really quick and its all free.
So far it does everything the big two do, and then some. Im a happy camper with it.
gotta say that zeam is making its case
Just found this:

If you like the LPP widgets, but want to use ADW/ADW EX/Go/Zeam, here ya go.
Zeam launcher ftw
Hello folks... I have been on the search for replacement home screen and maybe some of you have come across some new ones. I would love to find an alternative to SPB but all the ones I have found are not out yet. I have looked at all the regular ones like ADW, GO, LP and so on... I would love to do a review on the different types after I get a few more. I have about 10 so far. So lets start looking and list what you have found. Thanks!
QQ Launcher Pro, speed is good. Folder organization in the app drawer and comes with a lockscreen. Not much more to say about it other than I like it.

LauncherPRO is very fast, and looks very nice IMO.
There's a windows phone 7 launcher i was using for a while that i liked. Nice to change it up a bit.
If you haven't, I would try ADW EX. Its the paid version but is much smoother than the free ADW launcher. Use it on my XT860 and love it.
Espier launcher replicates iOS and is very smooth and supports lwp

If you don't mind, after you have concluded your search and have come to your decision, please post the launcher you went with and WHY. I am mostly just curious and don't have enough time to research all the available launchers myself.

Just recieved the note this morning and although iam not new to android or thos forum, its quite different to my old HTC desire. so i have a few questions!
I cant stand the stock launcher that comes with samsung so i have changed it to the go launcher so is their anyone out their better, or do you need to root to do that?
Also wanted to know if their are any good things to download to customise my phone, i have been using my blackberry for awhile so iam pretty unsure lol.
i might decide to root but is it worth it just yet?
cheers folks. hope someone can give me some pointers, the phone is huge, but i love the screen. i was abit paranoid as i always looked at samsung as kinda boring, im just glad the phone can be customised.
cheers.
New to android?
I always used launcher pro on my gingerbread based roms.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fede.launcher&hl=en
My note is coming today, so I haven't tried it with the larger screen.
Running an ICS rom I like the stock trebuchet launcher just fine.
hey
Naw im not new to android but its been a while since i have used it as a phone as i dont use my htc desire anymore. i have using the annoying blackberry.
launcher pro is fast and works well with some good live wallpapers.
what is ICS rom? also was your phone rooted
A lot of launchers have some degree of lag when used on the Note. Go Launcher and ADW Launcher were a little choppy on my Note. I've used LauncherPro Plus for a long time on my Galaxy S and LG Optimus 3D but I think it's getting a bit outdated since it hasn't been updated in a long time.
I'm using Nemus Launcher at the moment and it runs very smooth. It's not the most customizable launcher out there but all my basic needs are there, custom grid size, resizable widgets, maps etc. and it looks pretty good as well.
Thanx for the tip...just tried the one you mentioned and it works very fast on the note! and i noticed you can actually move the icons like the phone symbol and so forth....even better. I just hate the stock rom of samsung, just ugli icons, i always like to dress it up. Now to download phone icon and the other ones, do i have to download these separetly?

Thanks for sharing that, Nemus Launcher is indeed very good. Have tried Go and AWD, but find the simple yet polished look of Nemus better.
