Best ICS Launcher? - XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Looking for a new launcher to run on my x8, im running minicm9 on nAa ics03 kernel. using apex as my launcher at the moment but its terribly laggy, have tried apex, nova, Trebuchet,
best i had so far was nova launcher but i have a copy of apex pro so dont no if worth paying for the pro unlock key for nova.
Any opinions?

Yes.
1. Even though you are looking for an app, questions should still be posted in the q&a section.
2. There is a list of recommended launchers here somewhere, look it up using Search.
3. Holo launcher is quite good, you might wanna try it.

It's Holo Launcher right ?
You made a typo

Apex launcher!

360 launcher is the best launcher for ICS & GB. it is smooth & light.

Maybe its because you set the scrolling cache in settings of the launcher low? Put in to the highest & you should see the difference.

What's my phone status?
Bootloader : Unlocked
Android : 2.3.7
Baseband : ~015
Kernel : Alfs v08a
ROM : GingerDX
Build : v028b

I used Apex and trebuchet launchers: Apex i good but trebuchet is more fluid and need less memory when you come back to the home (it needs less time to redraw all the icons)

sorry bout posting in wrong place next time i will do it right.
have looked at the list just didnt know which ppl thought was best.
cheers for the help to all anyway

Launcher pro
The best..
*just sayin*

LauncherPro and 360Launcher are the best

Apex launcher is excellent. The pro version is the best but a little pricy
Is it important how did i send this?

In ICS used a mod launcher Xperia S, in my opinion was the best option because after changing the build.prop to always keep the cached launcher was fluent and almost no redraw

Launchers

hey, i was wondering whats the best launcher for the 2x.
so far ive tried adw, launcher pro, go launcher ex (still using)
go launcher ex is still the smoothest of them all, but im begining to think it uses quite some battery, what are your experiences ?
I'm using Launcher Pro and I really like it. So far it's been very smooth and I've had no excessive battery draining from using it.
I haven't had time to try out any others yet, my O2x is still a baby

I'm using the LG launcher
Go launcher ex was the best, until after a few nightly builds it went extremley laggy, now on adw ex and so far so good.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
GO Launcher EX.
Tried a couple of others, but GO offers the best mix of being fast and flexible.
I'm a fan of ADW EX. Tons of customization available.
im on adw ex right now as well. buts its laggy (not much but still) compared to go launcher ex. lol. and im missing some customizations.. but the theme stuff is quite nice
the bad thing is that i only like launchers with vertical scroll in app drawer
LG home would suffice, but the app drawer is the only place that launcher DOESNT lag at. so lame.
i'm using launcher7 donate
i like it , simple and fast
Im using MX Home and realy impresed with performance, realy nice home app , but what im realy waiting to try out is this one

When/where can we get this?
Sent from my LG-P990 using XDA Premium App
Using go launcher ex with no lag or issues whatsoever.
I'd recommend to all others.
Plus additional downloads of go dialer and go contacts are also worth a download if you're running a custom rom.
few screenshots of launchers i have used so far-
1)ADW launcher EX
2)spark launcher
3)zune launcher
4)7 launcher
5)slide screen launcher
6)Touchwiz 4 launcher

Where did you get some of these launchers? I can't seem to find all of them on the market. Which ones did you like?
I'm using Go Launcher at the moment after everybody here recommended it and I like it a lot more than Launcher Pro. Smooth and very customizable.

well...look mate...my personal favr8 would be ADW launcher EX.
but the thing is,most of them are prty good,soo...then everything boils down to ur taste...
currently i am using TW4...simple reason being is that,i have been samsung user through out...so i am more comfertable with touchwiz
and about your querry "where to find it"...
just googled it mate u'll get plenty...try it out...cheers
Another interesting Launcher is Regina 3d.
I don't like it enough to skip my beloved GO Launcher EX, but it's an interesting concept.

Thanks man, I'll try a few of those out. I'm a huge fan of the WP7 interface and live tiles but Launcher 7 is not quite smooth enough for me
I'm going to have a try of the Zune launcher, that looks pretty cool. Thanks.

im using launcherpro since the first day.it gets even better with every update, and if the rewrite is finished it will be awesome i guess..

[if u like WP7's over all look then if u want u can try out few themes of widget locker lockscreens(few possiblities i've uploaded down for your refrence) as well just to get the whole feel of WP7 on ur 'android' !!! just a suggestion]
1) functional costumised lockscreen
2)WP7 lockscreen !!!
3)samsung galaxy s-II lockscreen
[all the lockscreens are on LG O2X ofcorse !!!]
after using adw ex i went back to go launcher. its just the best (smoothest)

From this 3 the Nova is the best. Apex has lag in app drawer, trebuchet has almost 0 options. BTW I like Atom launcher.

Nemus launcher and sony xperia s launcher

My favourite one is Holo Launcher, it runs pretty good, and it's not horrible
But, if you don't like the ICS/JB look, i'll recommend the Xperia S launcher.
If you want the lightest launcher, you should use LauncherPro.
Sent With My Brains To Yours. Makes Sense.
Launcher pro or adw launcher is the best
Use spb or go launcher if you want to add some laggs haga

replace the + with dots...
please press THANKS! give me some room in this biggest developer sites
try zeam launcher....faster than launcher pro
If you want customizing..go for ADW. Launcher (free) or ADW launcher EX (paid)
Sent from my LG-GT540 using Xparent ICS Tapatalk 2
Most of them will run more or less the same. If this is not happening, you have some tweak that is affecting the launcher.
Since the X8 has a horrible amount of RAM, redraws are bound to happen. So, what you want is a launcher that redraws in as little time as possible. Even in this respect if you have few apps installed, you won't see much difference.
When apps start to get added is when we see a difference. In this context, nothing comes close to Lightning Launcher.

Hey there,
I have the next launcher and i'm very pleased with this launcher. He's very smooth and stable with lots of features for adjusting app and so on.. Try this one and i think you will agree with me that this is the one....
o boy..try both... and decide
They are similar but I found Nova better designed.
Sent from LG 2X using Tapatalk 3 Beta
not all of us have the same settings on our phones so it's best to download and try both - you'll see which launcher suits you best...
I think Apex =)
I found Nova to be both smooth and good looking with many settings but then again... It´s very personal.
Apex
Enviado desde mi O2X
It all comes down to preference
Im using the NOVA launcher and Im very happy with it... of course, the pro version
Nova.....really smoother than apex and the main thing low memory usage....since our O2x ram is bottlenecking i would prefere nova over other launchers....:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:
I recommend also nova, smoother than apex based on my own observation..
i found nova launcher also smoother on cm10

Apex is better, go here mycolorscreen.com
Sent from my LT22i using Tapatalk 2
nova launcher is doing an excellent job right now on JB
I keep switching between nova and launcher7 depending upon the look I want
I confirm : Nova is very smooth
More than trebuchet and Apex !
i think apex is better
but you have to try it on yourself
Nova is much smoother on our phone and allows customizing the app drawer decorations color (the blue underline under tab names) without installing a theme.
It is a nice touch when you use transparency and want to match your wallpaper color.
NEXT Launcher,from the GO team Devs..I never saw better launcher after i installed NEXT..
It's on an early stage though,but there are many things to come,cause GO team will continue build new things for their apks..
Nova and Apex are both very nice launcher, if i have the choise i want use Nova launcher because you have more settings
