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).
