is it better to change to go luncher?
or download a softwear which creates folders? (to many icons in manu screen really need some way to orginize them)
p
its your personal decision what you like
frogot to write that i mean in terms of speed
i heard that go luncher takes alot more ram then adw, so i was wondering what would be faster
adw + folder app
go luncher

...more Battery if i have Touchwiz on my Phone too?
And how can i get ADW.Launcher only (Replace Touchwiz?)
i used it for a day and battery was fine
i also had launcher pro and widget locker all installed but was using adw so no problems on battery
now to use it as default instead of tw launcher
just install it and press the home bottun u will get an option menu to choose to wich launcher and a use as default so
click use as default and then select adw launcher
keep in mind i dont know if u can re use tw with out reflash or something but again i am a n00b so each time i choose the launher i watn
Yea i know that, thats how it works for now. but i do think Touchwiz Home isent off. it feels like i could just change between them easy (home switcher).
I think ADW.Launcher is on and Touchwiz is kinda in the background... using my memory!
I would like to get it replaced fully (NO TOUCHWIZ)
You can do this by rooting your phone and then using titanium backup to uninstall TWlauncher.
I don't think that when you use ADW , Touch wiz remains in the background.
Yes, you are right. Even though Android system puts the inactive threads to sleep but they are still persistent in the memory. Getting rid of TW.Launcher will give you a bit more free memory but I don't see why it will change your battery backup performance. Unless you are using some funky add-on with ADW.Launcher which is running all the time in the background.
How is your battery backup without ADW.Launcher?
And yes, as Aldonski mentioned, get yourself rooted and get Titanium backup to remove TW.Launcher for good.
I need TW launcher to connect to kies....it won't with otherwise
Sent from my GT-I9000M using XDA App
Yes it will if you remove it completely. I connect to KIES without TW.Launcher.
like the title says what launch/home do you use? and what features does it have that set it apart?
im currently using adw or regina, but i think regina takes up a lot of resources to run.
ZEAM Launcher
Less than ~8 MB in memory footprint, and has a surprising set of customizations available.
LauncherPro. Can set custom dock/app icons on homescreen. Also, built-in widgets for messaging, facebook, gmail, etc. Ability to re-size widgets.
There's a thread titled "best launcher?" on the second page of this section. If you want some ideas, that's a good place to start.
I use Arc Launcher, it's really slick and light on resources.
Does anyone know how to remove screens from Arc Launcher?
SPB Shell 3D. Yes, I was impulsive and spent way too much money on it, but the interface is amazing and it is very smooth. Downside (other than cost) is that it uses about 60 megs of memory on average.
as tittle. any launcher that can divide out category same as lg home? i wan put and sepereta all d applciation.... any idea?
Hi gliew,
Adw launcher can be used. Here you can put your apps in catalogues. You just have to scroll left or right. It's not the same as the stock, but it helps, I think.
I hope I understood your question right.

Try GO Launcher Ex. It can make some sort of folders for you.
thanks for the reply. adw, gonna try it later. fo launcher, erm folder, not my choise, i wanna make a category actually. seperating all d application instead foldering.
any other launcher?
Catagories in the app draw?
That i use - Go Launcher has this plus seperate category for downloaded apps, arc launcher u can sort apps via last run, most used, alphabetical etc.
I think the SGS2 launcher has this functionality also.
-smc
You can try "All Apps Organizer Free" (see here).
No need to change the launcher : I use it to replace the drawer.
You can add categories as you want.
I like it.
i hope this is the right section if not please move. but is launcher pro the only one where u can change the icons without using a theme. i like changing the app draw icon like now im using mosaic(sp) icon. but im kinda tired of launcher pro and looking for something different, but i keep finding myself coming back to launcher pro.
Go launcher can do what you want.
thanks ill give it a try.
Multiple Launchers
If I have multiple launchers installed (or even just 1 extra than the stock launcher), do they all use system memory even if I have a default set? I'm using Serendipity VII, which I love, but I want to customize the icons so I've installed Go Launcher.
Am I taking a performance hit by using a different launcher?

As far as I know, no**, you won't take a performance hit by using a different launcher.
**Caveats:
1. As long as the launcher you use isn't a memory hog by itself.
2. As long as you check and make sure TouchWiz (or any other launcher) isn't showing up as a running process while you're using the other launcher.
Adw ex gets the job done, sure you have to pay for it but in my experience it gives me the best battery life and it's smooth as butter. I'm running darky's 10.2.2 and ADW beats go launcher and Launcher pro, just as responsive and snappy, way better battery life =)
I'd say use launcher pro plus/ adw free/donate version. I was huge fan of go launcher and widgets but after watching this http://youtu.be/iGPbvzPvkWw I am not sure if its really safe or not. Also if you really care about the performance use zeam as said in video, it is very very light on memory...
I bought LauncherPro after using the free version that DG had put into one of the Cognition roms. I loved it so much I bought a license. It's smooth, responsive, and very customizable, although I have left it stock.
ADWex for me all the way....GO Launcher was always laggy for me and I never liked Launcher Pro
OR you can try Launcher 7 PRO....which I made tiles for...this is what it looks like.

i agree adw ex works the best for me and has a lot of features. Launcher pro is probably the smoothest but has a few bugs and very few features. Go launcher is also great too if you want a free launcher with a bunch of features
Right now I'm using Launcher Pro on my Droid 1 but its really laggy at times especially when I go back to the home screen. Any recommendations on an replacement launcher that has these features:
A - Customizable dock at the bottom which I can put shortcuts to my apps.
B - At least three screens so I can put my widgets.
C - Drawer that can let me move up and down not left and right while scrolling for my apps.
Also which widgets are recommended for the following since I highly suspect no other launcher has these - calendar and contacts?
Many thanks in advance.

I choose adw launcher ex 1.3.3.. customizable dock, many screen and drawer up + down..
Thank you so much for the recommendation. I have ADW Launcher Ex running now. It feels so much smoother and faster then Launcher Pro was running. For my calendar and contacts widget I switched to Android Pro Widgets which gives the same Sense like experience that the ones Launcher Pro comes with.... if not better since APW comes with some nice skins and better options.
The only thing I don't care about APW at this point is not having the scrollable dock like Launcher Pro has. But I'm willing to give that up in exchange for better performance. The lag on Launcher Pro was starting to really annoy me.
Actually, if you swipe up on the dock, a hidden dock appears.
There is nothing there at first but you can drag unlimited apps to the bottom of the screen and it will fill up and will scroll across...
If you swipe down on it, the default dock appears.
if you don't need scrollable widgets give Zeam a try
I agree that ADW is much faster than current LauncherPro too ... much better
Just overclock the handset a little bit and launcherpro runs like a dream, IF you do a few minor tweaks:
DO NOT use the 3D app drawer. It's pretty laggy and slows down the rest of launcher pro, even if it's not actually on the screen right now.
DO NOT use more than 3 or 4 home screens
Don't use many widgets on your DEFAULT home screen.
Go Launcher is wonderful. Fast, feature filled.
I personally like Launcher ProPlus. I do believe it is faster and smoother than ADW. Also, if you're running CM7 you can lock the home screen in memory and that will help.
Or try V6 Supercharger script. With that script my Launcher Pro NEVER lags.

ADW is better than Launcher pro.. check these settings.. if it's a little lag when waking.. check box on "keep home in memory "..
