it all depends on what you want from a launcher, everybody is different.

try:

zeam launcher (free-lightweight)
go launcher (free-has some useful things i havent see in other launchers)
helix launcher
launcher pro (free and paid version)
live home
...

and decide

for me personally its between zeam and go

edit: fixed helio to helix

I like both ADW EX and Go Launcher EX. My number one thing is horizontal scrolling in the app drawer. Vertical scrolling is a joke and completely useless.

ADW EX rocks! Would love a scrolling dockbar on it though ;) (like in launcher pro)

There are

Launcher pro
Zeam
Go launcher
Adw launcher
Live home
aHome
Gigerbread launcher

Helium launcher(I don't know this one. I just saw something in previous post)

I am using adw. But there are no big diferences between launchers. Everithing is better than stock one. If I should say what's best:
1. Adw launcher and go launcher.
2. Zeam and launcher pro.
3. Others

Hi,

I have been using ADW Launcher for my SG 3 on Froyo. But is this the best launcher app available? How does it compare with the Launcher Pro as well as the stock Android Launcher?

Also, can i uninstall my stock android launcher using Titanium backup?
MY advice is Adw launcher or Gigerbread launcher. I'm using ADWLauncher, but if you google the different launchers, you can see what's works best for you as an individual! :) everyone has different looks i.e. pros and cons

Gingerbread launcher sucks ! All u get is the dock. No customisations nothing !

Deffo LauncherPro for me, quickest out of the lot, and the dock customisation with swipe gesture gives you many more options for quick launch compared to other launchers.

But as everybody says try a few before you buy, as everybody individual.

Launcher pro is my personal favourite. Swipe gesture actions with scrolling dock bar means 30 shortcuts on the dock alone. Invaluable.

    I have tested Launcherpro, Helix Launcher, Gingerbread Launcher, Launcherpro Plus, ADW Launcher, ADW Launcher Ex, PandaHome, Zeam, Spark, Go Launcher Ex, Arc...

    There must be many more, which i have tried, I don't even remember them all ! :D

    Launcher Pro Plus... Very fast, cool widgets, very highly customizable. I don't like vertically scrolling app drawer, LP+ doesn't have horisontally scrolling version, yet. For me LP also force closes too often, don't know if you guys have some problem... There's also free version on market, it doesn't have all options, which Plus has. (Own widgets, widget resizing, something more...) LP's scrolling dock with swipe gestures is very useful. LP+ has a new feature, themes that's cool. :)

    ADW Launcher EX, it's also fast and it's even more customizable than LP+ ! It doesn't have own widgets. It does have horisontally scrolling app drawer, which I really like. It also has Gingerbread launcher's 4D app drawer. ADW doesn't fc that much for me. ADW has themes too,which can be dloaded from market. ADW launcher has a free version in market, worth a try !

    Gingerbread Launcher, it's not customizable at all, I don't mind customizing that much. I prefer performance. In our little SG3 Gingerbread Launcher is slow, it looks good, but that's all. Doesn't have any unique features.

    Zeam is very tiny, which means it's very fast, maybe fastest launcher in market ! I really like it's look, that dock icon's reflection is cool. Zeam doesn't have horisontally moving app drawer, correct me if i'm wrong. :p It is also fully free. I recommend Zeam launcher, becouse it's fast !

    Go Launcher EX, newest launcher in market, I think... It has new updates very fast, so Go Dev Team developes it very much. I used it for a week, but then it gave me an error and it wouldn't start anymore :eek: So I uninstalled it.. Go launcher has own widgets, they can be dloaded from market. They're same as LP+ and there's even some more. Go launcher supports themes, which is cool and it has widget resizing feature. You can have as many homescreens as you want, I haven't found a limit ! Once I tried how much there can be, but after there were 30+ or something, I gave up. :D Go Launcher is fully free !

    Personally I use TW3 launcher, becouse it has been the fastest and stablest for me. It doesn't force close, it has that horisontally moving app drawer which I prefer. :p I think that TW uses processor the best, becouse it's integrated to this phone... It's also fun to make themes with computer, it just isn't so easy :D

    Oups, pretty long post.. If somebody really readed this all, thanks and byebye :cool:


    PS. Sorry for my English

    Imo, ADWEx. Hands down. The customization is just very high and the 4D gingerbread-drawer style is most epicly epic :)

    I have used go launcher for quite some time. They're good at updating, to a point where it's almost irksome, but at least they are, right? I had it on my all my family's android devices.

    Since the stock ics launcher looks good, why bother? I've took it off, and the only launcher I use now is on my EVOLTE, because Sense 4 is still ugly and still bloated. Like others posted here, I have ZEAM launcher, it's very light, I don't need all the other fancy stuff people seem to enjoy.

    i tried zeam but tried tag home after and found it smoother, also love the drawer system.definitely worth trialling.
