Over the past month I have used the following launchers, tw launcher, android launcher, and adw.launcher -and adw.launcher is always using half the RAM of the other two
tw launcher ~ 34-35 MB
Android launcher ~29-30 MB
Adw.launcher ~14-15 MB
I was wondering if any of you ruining launcher pro could post how much RAM it is using on your phone and if anyone could confirm what I have found with the other three launchers. Feel free to post any other launchers RAM as well if you want.
LP
My LP is running at 11.6 Mb of ram with absolutly nothing on the screen, i mean no widgets no icons nothing!
Two launchers i would suggest to you are Zeam and Helix, they are both supposed to be low resource!
I use lp and it currently uses 13.4 with many widgets, five screens, there docks
Downloaded zeam for the heck if it and after throwing a few random widgets on it was just under 13
I got rid of tw and android launcher for just this reason....ram hogs
Sent telepathically using vulcan mind meld app.
Thanks for the info. At some point I wil def give lp a look, and probably zeam and helix as well.
While I am not surprised that samsung's tw launcher is resource heavy, I'm a little surprised that android launcher has need of that much more memory then adw or lp, as adw and lp are every bit as functional (even more functional actually).
My LauncherPro with many widgets and icons and custom PNGs is running at 16.7MB and smooth on 2.2 beta.
which is best light weight launcher which uses low ram ( yes i want to compromise with the customization) because we all have low ram memory problem plz give suggestion
i think zeem launcher is best than launcher pro
adw launcher is good as well..not laggy atall..
Zeem launcher.
Go launcher ex.it has a good low ram and easy homepages to switch thru (if you have cypress dual touch like me)
sent from my rooted xperia x8 using xda premium
Zeam launcher is the lightest

I suggest LauncherPro. It is fast and smooth and low consumption of RAM.
GO Launcher is also good. But lags when first used and more animations are used, but overall, it is also nice.
A launcher that ismore lighter than zeem launcher, any suggestion guys
I'm using touchwiz 3.0 launcher. it's very light and if system kills it, it loads applications and widgets quickly!
Xperia active launcher.im 100% shure.tried all launchers,and active launcher uses less ram.i never had 85+ of ram free,and when i tried active launcher i got 92 mb of ram free.
launcher pro ftw! very light, very fast, very smooth!!!

Agree with this, I use this and it works great. I've tried LauncherEX etc...
Just ensure it is installed on the phone, I put it on SD card by accident and it launches the stock launcher first then instead of the default as it has to prepare the SD card on start.
hey guys what do you think about the full screen launcher ????
It looks cool, but for daily usage isn't the best election (without overclock i mean, with overclock should work a bit better but affecting the battery life ).

For me, the best launcher is ADW Launcher EX (isn't free). Go Launcher also is a good launcher.
I've been trying different launchers on this Ace I got recently and it's kinda hard for me to really tell which one drains more battery. My experience with Go Launcher EX and Launcher Pro has been pretty good so far, and although I'm leaning more towards Go for the great weather widget, I still don't know which one to stick with battery-usage-wise.
What has been your experience with different launchers in this regard?
I love ADW Launcher EX the most ans it is the only that I purchased other than Titanium Backup Pro...
Respecting others never hurt, let's build a better XDA community.
360 launcher is also good very lightweight and fast doesn't consume much battery also
Holo Launcher, and it just came out from Beta! It's in the store
Zeam is really lightweight, can't imagine it would use much.
The touchwiz launcher isn't bad, its what I'm using on CM7

I guess TW launcher is the lest battery consuming. Zeam launcher is great though. Try Nemus launcher too
im using sony home..u can download it on themes and apps section.. very smooth and has low ram usage

Launcher Pro doesn't seem to drain the battery that much. I've been using Holo Launcher for the last few weeks which is nice & light, it's now available to download from Play Store!!
Holo launcher
Just switched to it
Really smooth and light weight

ADW EX hands down.
Stock launcher
For me, the better launcher would be the stock one. I have tried ADW, EX, Go, etc. Now i'm using LEWA's, its smooth and freaking awesome yet Im battling with my battery which only lasts for 1 1/2 days(MAX). wew!
Zeam is not lightweight. It uses more ram than launcherpro.
Don't associate app size with resource consumption!

---------- Post added at 10:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:48 AM ----------
I installed a lot of popular launchers and got there memory usage:
FTL Launcher = 29MB
Go Launcher EX = 33MB
Zeam Launcher = 23MB
ADW.Launcher = 24MB
Launcher Pro = 34MB
TwLauncher = 24MB
Holo Launcher = 23MB

Zeam and Holo are joint winners for memory usage.
Note: this is for memory usage not battery life, it also depends how much of the CPU launcher is using.
If there is any more launchers you want me to add just say
You must try different launchers and compare ram usage of them. Which launcher is using little ram, that is lightweight and keeps your battery well...

battery life isn't just related to memory usage, but in the previous post i have shown memory usage of various launchers.
Vote for zeam

In my opinion, battery life and stability is related to ram usage. Thank you

Launchr 7 eats cpu + ram. Holo launcher uses only 13mb of my ram which is quite good.
