What you guys think of the spb 3D launcher a bit expensive but i think its worth the money
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA Premium App
it probably lag down the phone
i'll pick LauncherPlus Pro or Go Launcher EX any day vs. SPB
SPB has a long history of being broaded
it's purely eye candy, all the functionalities that it includes can be had for free using other apps

It's alright... smooth enough, but really it's just way too much going on for my tastes. Do you honestly need all those fancy animations going off everywhere?
Eye candy. Functionally, inconvenient.

i like it, very neat
the new HTC Sense 3.0 on the HTC EVO 3D has many of the same animations that spb has. I wonder were they got that idea from lol.
Spb has been around for a while now you never know

You can't place widgets and apps where you want on a page.
The Dock is antiquated when compared to any launcher with a scrollable dock.
The bundled widgets are useless. There are better free ones. No social network integration or google integration. The calendar widget isn't picking up my google calendar.
It has a ton of potential but right now it is form over function.

that's because it's pretty much a direct port from the Windows version

ADW Launcher EX <3
I am a big fan of ADW EX, but decided to try SPB. It is superb, even faster than ADW and looks amazing.
15 bucks is a bit expensive, I think 9-10 dollars would be fair.

it costs $15 for a launcher replacement that you can't even place widgets anywhere on?

Zeam,
DXtop,
Helix Launcher,
Helix Launcher 2,
Pro Launcher
Ahome,
Ahome Mini
Open Home,
Home++
Crazy Home
Sweeter Home
Better Home
Tag Home
PandaHero
NexusHome
Live! Home
GDE
Bingo! Home
Slidescreen
AdvancedLauncher
Launcher+
A nice app to manage all of these home replacements is Home Switcher.
I don't have a time to write a summary of each app but I may in the near future.

I personally like Zeam the best.
Slidescreen is nice eye candy, but it's bloated and slow as molasses, even with the speediest roms out there.
Home++ is nice and efficient.
I personally like LauncherPro or Anderweb's Launcher.
By request I've added a poll.

Isn't that just a ripoff of GDE with none of the cool features? That's how it looked when I downloaded it.
Since the last update, GDE is miles ahead of anything else imo.
What is Pro Launcher? I have only heard of LauncherPro
Let's get some screen shots up!
I was predominantly using Launcher Pro, but after trying GDE I cannot see myself using anything else. Just brilliant!

GDE
GDE has the best themes its fast and dose not consume to much cpu it also has awesome transitions
Really like Zeam for it's simplicity right now. Double tap anywhere to preview all homescreens makes navigation from app to app pretty damn quick as well using widgets. It's pretty much the biggest reason I've moved up to Froyo again after all the slowdowns and instabilities I was having.
Running Biffmod 2.1 with 2708+. No swap and CC at 18%, CPU at 245/528 and JIT on. Linpack report 3.6MFlops. With messaging and home locked in memory the phone feels snappy enough that I'm not obscenely jealous of all my friends with Snapdragon and Hummingbird procs.
You guys missed Zune home or what it became Faded home. Its kinda like a windows phone 7 zune type interface.
Go Launcher
Please add Go Launcher to the list!
Also, Pro Launcher is actually Launcher Pro in the Android Market.
ADW EX
EX meaning EX-lax for your home screen. It really greases up the works. Fast, fancy, freakin-sexy!!!

First of all, has anyone tried Laucherpro Plus? It has a ton of widgets that are built specifically to be similar to the Sense widgets (e.g., message widgets, mail widgets, calendar widgets, etc.). It's $2.99, basically if you dl Launcherpro from the Market you can upgrade to it.

Secondly, there are many widgets out there that replicate the Sense widgets. Someone mentioned Beautiful Widgets, which serves the same purpose but doesn't look the same. Do some digging on the forums and you'll find Fancy Widget. It was taken off the Market by HTC because it looks exactly like the Clock/Weather Sense widget.

Thirdly, the launcher dock for Sense acts like the launcher dock for Sense. Sense is the Launcher setup, which includes specific widgets, the same way that Launcherpro has its own widgets. Think of the launcher as the controlling aspect of the operating system; it defines what you can and cannot use in terms of shortcuts, folders, and widgets. So in short, no ... but you certainly can make one look a whole lot like the other. It just takes some work.
And yes Fancy Widget looks exactly like the sense weather clock, and works great, I have been using it on the LP for a couple of months now and no issues, Google it you will find it still in a couple of forum and you can scan and download it. I would post it here but I believe it is against the forum rules, so if you don't find it PM me and I will get it to you
Hi everyone @XDA,
i know there are plenty of home replacement apps available out there (ie. Launcher pro, adw, etc). In fact i just found out another one which is pretty neat, its the slidescreen by larvalab. It has a pretty neat interface, sleek n minimal.
I would love to know what other home replacement apps are available out there.
Is there just a scrollable dock app?
Thanks all!

Go Launcher is my favorite by far due to prrformance/customization.

I really like Zeam Launcher. It has a nice scrolling dock, and manages to be both minimal yet have all the important features. Check it out:

I am using the Nova for awhile, I am pretty happy with it(fast respond and many theme i can pick ). But I check it usually take around 40 to 50 mb ram usage. So I wonder what you guys using and which one you think is the best?
I've tried a few others. Apex, Go and even the over priced Next 3D launcher. I always go back to Nova.
Next launcher is the choice for me. Very smooth, lots of extras, themes out the wazoo. Also if you use the "Next browser" combined with the last android supported flash player = flawless flash video playback. Just sayn.....
i use action launcher. i haven't found anything as useful as the shutters and covers feature of it.
I've used nova,GO, And the Themer app. I like nova the best so far.

Action launcher hands down. I have used most of them but the typical mundane app drawer is not convenient on a phone like this. Action launcher has very practical and unique features not one other launcher comes close to.
Im using Aviate right now . Pretty neat !

The stock sense launcher is great and thats what I use!
I recently found action launcher which I really like. It's very functional and more minimalistic than most other launchers. If that's what your in to. There is a free version. Give it a try.

I stick to Sense. I don't know what it is, but every time I try and switch off of it, I always end up coming back. Even though they change it with every new flagship, I still stick with it. I've used Aviate, and while it's nice, it's just not for me.
I'm on sense right now, using xposed framework and sense 5 toolbox to get a 4.5 home screen. However, I also frequent nova launcher. It just depends on my mood, and I have them both installed pretty much all the time.
I like Trebuchet from AOSP

I visit in Asia most the user use HTC Mobile phone because it has been too many feature that you can use. After Nokia Lumia and I phone big brand that are using.
I use Themer. Wish it had a better drawer, but, I change up my themes so often its still the best option for me.
I use Nova Launcher Prime on all of my Android devices. Just find it to be fast and customizable to my likings
Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk
I like Go Launcher for its customization but I really love Nova Launcher. Love it so much I purchased prime. Its really fast and has a fair amount of customization. It also never crashes or gives me any problems. It's nice that a lot of the icon packs work on it as well.
Try Aviate. Pm me with your email I have 1 left

SS Launcher Paid version
I stumbled on SS launcher a couple of years ago when I still had the "EVO 4G". I have not looked back since, it is more flexible than any other I've tried. And I always get comments on it.
Check out Lightning Launcher on the play store.
Google Experience Launcher

Big +1 for Action Launcher. It has a free trial(!) now, even, so there really isn't an excuse to at least give it a whack. It's not perfect for everyone, but if it you can handle its paradigm it works really well. Aviate's also good, but the inability to hide apps (among other things) really killed it for me.
Agreed

I personally use Nova Launcher Prime also, it's never let me down. An customization for the drawer and home screen is cool. Being able to pull app info and uninstall on the home screen is a huge helper at times.
I like Nova as well
