Best Launcher??? - TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Greetings Guy...Wanna know about yours expieriece, wich one culd be the best laucher for the TP???

nova seems the smoothest to me. and of course has plenty of options.

I use Apex, but there are many good ones available. It's a matter of personal preference.

Nova has plenty of options and is quite fast. But the stock one that comes with cm is quite fine too (trebuchet) and if you don't need too much customization is quite similar to nova.

I personally use Nova because I got it for $0.25 during one of Google's sales. It's a good smooth browser with a bunch of customization options. That said, there are a bunch of launchers out there that take a different view on things. There are 3d launchers like Next that run adequately on the TP. Action Launcher has a couple of very nice features that I like as well... but not enough to give up the customization of Nova.
In the end, it really is all up to what you like and what you want. That's what Android is all about. Do you want fancy? Do you want smooth? Do you want customization? Try em all out and see which one you like.

I Like the GO Launcher EX

I have always used Holo Launcher, and now Holo Launcher HD on my touchpad. Lightweight but smooth and responsive.
Not heavy on customization like Nova or Apex.

Twlauncher vs launcher pro vs adw

I just wanted to know y'all s personal opinion on these lauchers. I and using darky 8.1 and the twlaucher on it is pretty satisfying but I am thinking about switching...
Please write about what you think is the best launcher.
P.s. I think this is a question but I'm not sure about general. So sorry if I put it in the wrong section
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Currently using adw, was using lp for a long time. Main reason for adw or lp is the ability to customize the appearance if you're home screen.
I use launcher pro because it has the most features, after the most recent update 8.3 which has home screen animations. It also gives you a lot of dock custimization abilities (swipe actsions)
I would recommend using all three, and deciding since its a personal choice.
I tend to go with launcher pro since it does not allow to uninstall an app from home screen or from apps list.
Was using ADW earlier, but stopped using since the update that let an app be uninstalled with a long press on that in the home screen.
I'm currently using HeLauncher... pretty sweet!

I tried ADW launcher for a while but it just seemed, okay. I tried out GoLauncher for a few days but I kept getting FC on many apps. I am currently using Zema launcher and really like it.
Are other launcher like zeam, go, etc good too?
Sent from my phone
Launchers are in a way like roms. There are several good options and it is personal preference as towhich is best
I hate all of these aftermarket options. Stock Gingerbread launcher for me.

I'm currently using Zeam and really like it. I did really enjoy Go Launcher but I was having force closes, not sure if it was Go launcher or not but I haven't had any since I switch. If they update to remove some bugs, I may go back. LauncherPro was really good too. ADW seemed kind of drab to me but I'm not sure.
All about Zeam imo. Great light-weight launcher (actually makes the phone feel faster).
im a big fan of lightweight and minimalistic programs in general, even though i see my phone as quite powerful (SGS2) but the zeam launcher doesnt do it for me. scrolling in the app list is not even close to being as smooth as the LP, thats why im sticking with that one.

I use TWLauncher 4.5 and theres enough customization for everyone with Fr40gg0rs hacked version. Its way better looking than launcherpro and is just as fast. And I prefer the TW app drawer as well, which is also very custmizable..

[Q] So... What launcher is "best"?

This is, I know, much a personal taste of choise... But I find LPP a bit laggy, adwEX lags etc. Can't understand why it would, but that's just how I feel.
However I like the app drawer speed with the LG-home - no lag whatsoever!
So...
What launcher do you use, and why?
Im using Launcher Pro right now but im trying Go Launcher (EX) and it's feels faster, but i'm missing the facebook widget the LPP offers
Launcher Pro Plus has always been one of my favorites. Clean, fast and functional.
Right now I was trying out the spb launcher and it looks crazily stunning
I'm fan of ADW EX, it has everything I want from a launcher app
I've used the lpp for some hours and the lag is somehow gone
going to check out go and spb too
Sent from my LG-P990 using XDA App
Im using the LG Home, I really like the drawer. I used LauncherPro on my X10 mini pro, but I don't see a reason to switch atm.
I personally li LPP..... one because of the brilliant widgets it offers, the option to resize widgets, adding more rows to the screens and i love the 3d drawer

He's probably in the beta, which i signed up for as well, hope that i get in.
And on topic: I'm using the stock launcher because it works just fine for me, i don't see a need to change it yet
I'm using the launcher from se arc. speedy beautiful and a bit animated when moving or deleting stuff.
Using the Launcher Pro and I really like it, it's fast and clean and I havent noticed any lag whatsoever.
LPP, the LG home lags switching between homescreens.

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
sent from my O2x
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.

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

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.

1)ADW launcher EX
2)spark launcher
3)zune launcher
4)7 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.

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.

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)

Best Launcher

What are your favorite Launchers? Only ICS please
Based on customization, smoothness, and eye-candyness
can I say GO LAUNCHER ??
The stock launcher. Gotta love those shortcut folders.

P.S: no stock launcher
Nova launcher seems promising, but I would say trebuchet is a perfect fit for its stability right now.
Nova

Nova launcher
Nova has the best settings and stuff, so NOVA for me. I needs me my custom icons. Apex Launched will be promising though... it might even become better than NOVA. With the plans they have for it, Apex should become the CM9 Launcher. Why? Because honestly Trebuchet is sucking so much right now. You can hardly do anything with it and I haven't heard any news from it... If it is going to stay CM9 launcher it has major work to do.
Nexus S - CyberGR Hybrid ICS (5), Matrix Kernel (15)
Another vote for nova. Great launcher and only getting better
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
GO Launcher is by far my favourite of the ones I have used.
I have used ADW, Helix, LauncherPro and Zeam Launcher but have not tried Nova yet.
I really like launcher pro. Not very fancy but quite functional.
I'm using Nova, while it is very fast and smooth, it does have way too less customizations.
Apex is the fastest one then nova after that when apex gets a few more opinions it could be the beat of all of them right now Nova got more customization but apexs is faster
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium
Definitely the Trebuchet launcher if not the stock one
Nova is my current pick. Custom icons, number of icons in dock, homescreen grid and resizable widgets are must-haves for me. I do wish there are gestures and more dock customization options, but neither of those are deal-breakers.
ADW Ex remains my favorite.
I've used Go, Claystone, Nova, trebuchet, QQ, Live Home, Regina 3D, and SPB, but ADW provides the smoothest operation, great customization, and the backup/restore function works great.

I don't think that's possible... and even if it is possible then it will obviously require a lot of modding and editing of God knows how many files.... :silly:
I love and use Nova; because its simply the best! (according to me)
Have you tried launchers like Apex Launcher, Nova Launcher, Holo Launcher, Buzz Launcher, Next Launcher, TSF Shell, Atom Launcher, Go Launcher, ADW Launcher or the Stock 4.2 browser??
(hope I get a thanks for this, because I seriously searched and typed all the popular launchers from Google Play )

Lol you didn't really help ME in particular but thanks for the reasearch you earned it man!
But to get back to the topic: custom launchers are the only way I guess. No one has discoverd this yet. But I think it can be done with a lot of file editing and modding.
I wish you very good luck haha

yeah dude, its embarrassing to ask for "thanks" without really helping
anyways getting back to topic, what is it that you hate in other launchers and like it in the TouchWiz launcher? I mean TouchWiz launcher is laggy sometimes (in transitions, page scrolling, etc.).. it is buggy sometimes (if you have an app in your external sd card, then after rebooting, the icon shifts its position to the end of the very last page).. etc.
On the other hand, custom launchers like Apex or Nova are really customizable; you can literally modify its settings to your preferences...
I've even uninstalled Touchwiz with Titanium Backup, after installed Nova!
