I think its time we come up with a comprehensive list of all home replacement apps. I will do my best here but if I miss something please add it as well.
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!!!

Can we get market links in the OP for these? Or maybe QR codes? If you are willing to add them, after work, I'll get the QR codes for the ones listed. :-D
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:

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

No lag at all, actually.
But I don't think it's worth $15.
Not the new update dude its flawless it runs great on my ns just downloaded not laggy at all it feels as fast as adw ex

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
they are not very innovative bunch IMO

I lost only 4% in 8 hours overnight. Before that I was losing up to 40% in that time.

15 minutes is just not enough time to check this thing out.
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?

i just got a new Tablet for Xmas. any thoughts on what the best launchers are for Tablets?
i was actually thinking of SPB Shell. tried it on my phone, didn't run that well, but could be cool on a bigger screen.
Damn, its that many? Only one's I've tried are ADW, GO Launcher, LauncherPro, and QQlauncher. Always ended up using LP though.
