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.

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?

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.

[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)

Create your own launcher

From my own experience, and from speaking to other members of XDA and other android forums, I've noticed that 95% of people (approx) aren't totally happy with their home launcher but won't change because it offers the closest to what they feel they need.
Running off this, I thought what launchers would you mix together to create your "perfect" launcher(if you could).
Personally, I'd put together Holo launcher and Go launcher ex together with the addition of a launcher where I could totally change my dock, as Ive seen some great docks on DroidIcon.
I choose these because I like the smoothness and general use of holo but love the array of themes and widgets available specifically for go launcher.
What would you choose and why?

Holo launcher with widget tab, animations (without pro), widget tab and a tablet style option.

Go launcher with tons of smoothness optimizations.... its way to sluggish for me

After finding out about TSF Shell yesterday and wwatching the youtube videos of it, I'd say a lot of features from there would be a good incorporation aswell. It would take a lot to make all that run nice and smooth without problems though

Where do you find amestris? Is it a tablet app? Not finding it in the play store.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus

id say something like apex with the ability to change the dock and also resize the icons(more emphasis on risizing icons since theyre so tiny on nova and apex).

I would do something similar to Go Launcher without all the bloat.

Trebuchet!!
I would like to merge trebuchet and nova launcher. Nova launcher without too much of customizability and nova's shadow option rocks with treb!
:good:

This is the best theme I've ever seen..
But this thread should be in general thread...

Best Launcher for customiziation?

i just had a look at the thread "Post Your Screen Shots Here" and they Looked Pretty Cool i want to be able to customize everthing like fonts themes app drawer everthing im running Stocklite V8 as my rom. iv looked at go launcher ex but alot of people say it slows your phone down to snail pace

Best launcher for customization is in my opinion the adw ex. U can change every single option and customize it as u wish. Plus u can get some nice themes on google play.

I use go launcher ex on SGS II v10.1 & it runs flawlessly !

You got 4 diferent opninions for 4 diferent launchers, best way to decide is to try all ! :laugh:

I am a fan of Apex and Nova, the pro/prime keys are worth it if you can afford it
You can customize with gestures and themes without the pro keys but more gestures and transitions are available with a $4.00 purchase. Most themes work with ADW/Apex/Nova and sometimes GO.
I don't like GO though because it is a memory/resource hog.
This thread should probably have been posted in Themes and Apps.

best launcher imo:
customization---> ADW
simplicity---> holo
golauncher has lots of customization too but it's kinda, idk, laggy when run on ace
touchwiz UX themed (think s3) holo launcher is my current choice check out screenshots in s'perience rom by snowpluralism
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1695477

My choice - ADW EX
Butter smooth and customizable...

Just try 360 launcher pro. Chinese language is outta my perception but for what it offers, worth making a compromise ! So much of customization inbuilt widgets, countless themes, 360 locker & themes, supports gestures, effects & much more! It's just awesome try it out !

Best Launcher???

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.

What launcher I offer?

Hello, what launcher I offered to go very well on mini s3? So far we have used Next launcher consumes a lot of resources and I gave it up!
So what I offer?

There are so many Launchers, I think you'll simply have to try one or another.
I'm using Apex since my X10i-days. Meanwhile I bought it, my Impression is that Apex doesn't consume too many resources.
Sorry for my bad english, I'm still learning...

Thank you, I'll try, do not worry about English because I'm so )

Oh, I forgot: I also tried GO!-Launcher but it was not to my satisfaction, that was 'too much' for me, simply overloaded.

Nova launcher is great if u want to get "stock" android experience, launcher8 if u like windows phone look, GO launcher if u want to get lots of functions.. But I like touchwiz or nova launcher the best
