Alright, completely random question. When you use a custom launcher, is the stock launcher still running in the background?

I'm running nova launcher prime as default right meow. I have a button on my homescreen to take me to sense, which is fully customized with widgets and such, for when I wanna look through blink feed or whatever sense only toggles.
I'm not sure if they both run simultaneously though.
Slick set up imo.

Always wondered that. Seems like a Ram waste if it did.
Yeah. Still haven't been able to figure it out

As the title says.
I'd like to use a custom launcher the blur one is a little laggy. But I love the "Quick Contacts" widget.
But when installing launcher ex or launcher pro it doesn't show. It's there but can't see it. Anyone else had this???
Like you, I LOVE that widget, however, there is yet no way to get it to work in any launcher besides the stock blur

Ugh. That sucks. Hope it will be fixed soon :-(
Go launcher pro has a widget similar to the stock contact widget and you can size it the way you like.

I know I know. But it's for sure not as amazing . If I size it the same it takes a whole screen. The moto one is just awesome. Snifffff
True. It doesn't pull down like the stock one.
Sent from my DROID3 using XDA App
Yeah, the stock one is really pretty, animated, and only takes up one line of screen when you don't need it.

Well, what do YOU think is the absolute best launcher for our nexuses..?
Personally I use stock with SMS shortcut instead of browser. Discus

Big fan of Launcher Pro. Buttery smooth with some nice customization options. However, half the time, I have to FC the launcher on reboot... marginally annoying =(
Zeam is also very smooth. But... not so many features. Haven't figured out how to customize dock icons.

ADW Pro has always been my favourite. So far the most customizable one I've come across. Used it for months without any problems.

Go Launcher is the smoothest, most versatile, and FREE, launcher I've used.
I've tried nearly every one available and keep going back to Go. It's just so slick... And so FREE!
Gingerbread stock launcher is the most horrible launcher - even worse than HTC sense.

Stock Gingerbread launcher. Nothing comes close in speed and smoothness. The mod that replaces ADW with the stock launcher in cm7 is my favourite thing ever.

I switch between launcher 7 and launcher pro. Adw is sweet.. until you hit the app drawer and realize how choppy it is.

Any versions of stock launcher with 3 homescreens ?
Zeam launcher
Just what the title says. IMO its smoother then Apex and Nova. I really haven't had time to play with it but so far so good. Wish this update was available when I was stuck on HC.

I use GO EX, on my SGS3 and Pad 7.7, perfect :good:
We had to wait a long long time for getting an update.....
But at least it was worth the waiting.
Had to fix screen size and some other settings after new update. It was a pain, don't really notice anything new while running on stock ICS

After playing with it a bit I stuck with Apex. I think this is a bigger draw to HC and GB devices.

Was quite happy using adw ex launcher. There is a bug though. When u add a folder on the home screen, initially you could edit the folder to change the icon or rename the folder. It doesn't work anymore. Any idea people.

No longer able to use the launcher actions along with minimalist text, I used this set up to switch between screens. Have emailed the dev and still waiting on an answer.

THIS. Been using Go Ex Launcher for several years on many different Android devices & it's been amazing, very customizable & easy to use.
After trying EVERY other launcher including paid ones, none come close to Go EX...
I want to lock my widgets on my home screen, they sometimes are accidentally moved when fast scrolling or going back from app drawer. I want ro lock them so even on hard touch or persistent touch, it wont show the resize or move thing.
PS: i am using tw on stock rom with root.

Hmmm..if you are ok moving to another launcher, there is an option in Go Launcher if I am not wrong..
Nova launcher for ics has the lock desktop check box in the settings.

I stick to the sense launcher
The stock sense launcher is great and thats what I use!
I recently found action launcher which I really like. It's very functional and more minimalistic than most other launchers. If that's what your in to. There is a free version. Give it a try.

I stick to Sense. I don't know what it is, but every time I try and switch off of it, I always end up coming back. Even though they change it with every new flagship, I still stick with it. I've used Aviate, and while it's nice, it's just not for me.
I'm on sense right now, using xposed framework and sense 5 toolbox to get a 4.5 home screen. However, I also frequent nova launcher. It just depends on my mood, and I have them both installed pretty much all the time.
I like Trebuchet from AOSP

I visit in Asia most the user use HTC Mobile phone because it has been too many feature that you can use. After Nokia Lumia and I phone big brand that are using.
I use Themer. Wish it had a better drawer, but, I change up my themes so often its still the best option for me.
I use Nova Launcher Prime on all of my Android devices. Just find it to be fast and customizable to my likings

I like Go Launcher for its customization but I really love Nova Launcher. Love it so much I purchased prime. Its really fast and has a fair amount of customization. It also never crashes or gives me any problems. It's nice that a lot of the icon packs work on it as well.
Try Aviate. Pm me with your email I have 1 left

SS Launcher Paid version
I stumbled on SS launcher a couple of years ago when I still had the "EVO 4G". I have not looked back since, it is more flexible than any other I've tried. And I always get comments on it.
Check out Lightning Launcher on the play store.

Big +1 for Action Launcher. It has a free trial(!) now, even, so there really isn't an excuse to at least give it a whack. It's not perfect for everyone, but if it you can handle its paradigm it works really well. Aviate's also good, but the inability to hide apps (among other things) really killed it for me.
Agreed

I personally use Nova Launcher Prime also, it's never let me down. An customization for the drawer and home screen is cool. Being able to pull app info and uninstall on the home screen is a huge helper at times.
I like Nova as well
