Stock launcher vs adw

[Shark_On_Land]

Why did cm force adw on us? Its a memory hog that wastes battery compaired to stock.

Don't even get me started on launcher pro. That's even worse. And its only made by 1 man.

What do you use? R&d by Google or a 1 man progect?

this one is pretty fast, I like it a lot:

Xperia Arc Launcher

but you need to search withing the thread to find a right "version"

CyanogenMod is all about customization. ADW fits with what CM 7 is doing right now.

Personally, I use Launcher Pro+. Yeah, Fede needs to get back to work on it, but its customization is awesome.

they dont force you to use adw, i agree with you though i love the stock launcher for the nexus phones alot better than any custom launcher especially adw launcher, i think it is just a horrible creation that needs to be destroyed and completely re done its horrible. Launcher pro isnt bad i used it alot when i had my EVO with the plus version and all the widgets its pretty nice but yeah it does need an update but its alot cleaner than adw. Go launcher is another good one its pretty customizable plus i think its gpu powered like the stock gingerbread launcher.

This is the mod i use, it works on any custom aosp rom for the nexus s or nexus s 4g, it uses the stock gingerbread launcher for our phones, with some speed tweaks, you still get the 3d app drawer it has the messaging icon in place of where the browser icon would be on the dock bar. It installs easily through recovery and is fast as ****.

I have used launcher pro, and adw and i found that GO launcher is best for me, since it offers high levels of customisation (down to the levels of changing backgrounds for the dock and animations) and it's relatively easy to operate.

It's not much of a memory hog too, which is great too

Yeah you can't go wrong with go launcher ex

How is it forced on you? Just uninstall it and use the launcher. You want.

It's very easy to change launcher. I use Zeam Launcher now.

i may be in the minority here, but go launcher ex is freakin sweet. i have never had such a smooth experience with a smartphone as i have with go launcher on bugless pete's rom.

I don't see how its forced on you. I've tried many different launchers. I can only achieve what I want my home to look and act like with adw and go launcher. Different things suit different people. I don't use the stock launcher because I don't use the phone or browser very much. And I hate the box around them. So those shortcuts are pointless for me. Personally my phone shows Google voice use more memory than adw. And that runs in the background. All in all just install another launcher. Adws not forced on you. If it was forced you wouldn't be able to change to a different launcher.

I love adw, but Go ex is much smoother, but there is no option to remove the dock and expand the desktop, so have stuck with adw.

Anway, just flash the stock launcher...no?

+1 but on Oxygen(+Trinity) for me.

delete .

I cannot stand the stock launcher, and the very first thing I install after flashing a new rom is either Go Launcher or ADW.

Miui is the only rom that I run w/o a launcher because it's native launcher is customizable and is pretty slick.

Who gives a **** if an app is developed by a single person? Sometimes that is better because decisions aren't made by compromise.

how the hell is adw a memory hog when it only uses 39mb RAM, while the stock launcher uses almost double???! stock launcher + live wallpaper breaks the phone apart, you barely have 50mb RAM left with this combination. so lemme see, no customization, memory hog and those retarded dock dots that cannot be removed, great launcher indeed!
