What launcher should someone with a heavy passion for themes use?

Smoothest launcher other than TouchWiz ?

What do you guys use?
[Galaxy S II General] bluesith:
I use go launcher. It's free and really nice. Although I did roll back to an earlier version because one of the updates wasn't to my liking.

Tried loads, always return to go launcher.

[Galaxy S II General] Pume:
If you like themes then I guess Go launcher is your best bet. I like Launcherpro / Launcher7 and those both are themable quite easily too :)
[Galaxy S II General] Nitroz:
I alternate from TW 4.5 and GoLauncher, so far the latest update of GoLauncher is a winner for me. It's like the Charlie Sheen of Launchers.
[Galaxy S II General] marcadam:
Without doubt go launcher is the most functional and customizable launcher you can get and its free.
[Galaxy S II General] giga502:
i use Zeam launcher. Love it to bits
[Galaxy S II General] _Sale_:
I use ADW. Really nice launcher :)
[Galaxy S II General] Major_Sarcasm:
I'm struggling to see that as a compliment. I switched from LauncherPro to Go Launcher recently and haven't regretted the decision. I miss LauncherPro's built-in scrollable widgets, but have replaced those with Android Pro Widgets instead.

I'd been getting issues for some time with LauncherPro freezing for ages on startup, Go Launcher has no such problems and with the most recent update has the 3D app drawer too; bonus.
[Galaxy S II General] evolutiontheory:
I use Go Launhcer!! A very good app, with lots of customizations ans a very active dev...Not very smooth as TW launcher though...
[Galaxy S II General] Crucio_:
Go Launcher is ace, it has alot of themes out for it and i belive the devs also have a program to assist people in building there own.

For me its Go Launcher + Matted Blue theme = win.
[Galaxy S II General] robmeik:
I use SPB Shell 3D, works like a charm with the S2 and gives me all that I want!!
[Galaxy S II General] Robafet:
Having tried a few - openhome,go launcher and the original launcher, I came to the conclusion that ADW ex is the best of the bunch, runs smoothly, very customizable, including home icon size, home grid customization, and the screen transitions, appdock and drawer options are out of this world.
[Galaxy S II General] Archer:
Most of the ones available on the Market are very good, and there's very little between them. TBH, the best thing you can do is just try them all and see which you prefer. Personally, I'm all over the GO apps at the minute - Launcher, SMS Pro, Contacts, Dialer - they're all great!

Seriously - ignore everyone and just try them all yourself for a day or two.
[Galaxy S II General] Declan79:
+1 very worth it to buy the paid. Also using it on my gt p1000
[Galaxy S II General] Crucio_:
Somthing stops me paying almost £10 for a launcher, just seem alot for a launcher even if it is "3d" it still does the job of free launchers.

[Galaxy S II General] THUDUK:
Sums up the Go launcher to a tee, this quotation, rather a mess, not as slick as others, a bit of a hodge podge, although Charlie Sheen goes one step further and equates to a complete W&$ker

I have tried so many launcher spent way to much time faffing about with them, back with TW, so slick and fast, and does everything I need.

For themes launcher pro + and adw are the best imo...

Personally i prefer stock TW, just like it for some reason which is ironic considering how much i hated stock tw in my i9000 days.
[Galaxy S II General] dullah:
yeah go launcher is definitely the best launcher out there in terms of customisation.

[Galaxy S II General] veyka:
I used to use Go launcher, it was pretty nice, thing I most miss are unified folders between the home screen and app draw.

I use ADW EX, which is damn good, and a whole lot better than standard ADW.
[Galaxy S II General] daleski75:
I used to use go launcher but hated the go store and additional stuff it downloads at the same time, adw launcher ex and launcher pro are the best ones on the market in my opinion.

my current one is launcher pro and it's as smooth as butter on my GS2

might give qq launcher a go though lol
[Galaxy S II General] blunted09:
It seems like go launcher is the most popular but i just cant get it running as smoothly as launcher pro plus. The redrawing effects are not nearly as quick when rotating to landscape as well.

i really want to use go launcher but it just somehow seems choppier. Launcher pro is absolutely buttery smooth-not to mention those lovely widgets with sense theme installed on them.
[Galaxy S II General] Pume:
If you're into WP7 then you also might concider Launcher7. Both donate and free versions available in the market. I already mentioned this one in my earlier post but here's one with some screenshots.
[Galaxy S II General] pachi72:
If I want to make my phone look like a WP7, I rather just buy a WP7 phone.
[Galaxy S II General] meranto:
ADW-ex does the trick here. Came from Launcherpro, but missed customisation.
[Galaxy S II General] xsaintzx:
I can see many users are sticking towards to Go Launcher, I'm still on Launcher Pro Plus due to it's customization ability now but thinking of making a switch. Doesn't really get any benefit for paying for the plus version, there is no update for a long time after 0.8.6 and I also get the freezing at start up same as Major_Sarcasm.
[Galaxy S II General] Archer:
I used to use Launcher Pro and paid for the + version too, but GO Launcher has all the customisations that Launcher Pro has, and more! I don't see much difference in performance, tbh, but I do like some of the extra options.
[Galaxy S II General] slind:
would love to you go launcher all the time, but it's simply not nearly as smooth as stock. and at 800 MHz it's lagging like hell.
[Galaxy S II General] Bynar010:
Launcher pro. I always go crawling back no matter which other launcher I try.
[Galaxy S II General] nikzDHD:
Was an avid Launcher Pro Plus user but now happy on Go, now that it has Facebook widgets and such it's perfect. Lacking in widget skins but hopefully more will be released.
[Galaxy S II General] Clivectmob:
The problem I find with a lot of third party launchers, including ADW, LP, and GO, is they are all fine while a static wallpaper is used, but, even on an sgs2, as soon as you use a live wallpaper, they get all stuttery, mainly on the app drawer. That's why I stick to TW, as it's just as smooth on either. That is the acid test for alternative launchers IMO.
[Galaxy S II General] luexi:
Yes very true. wonder if why these 3rd party launchers can't be as smooth as TW on live wallpaper
[Galaxy S II General] tolis626:
Dude,I was just about to post that.

All of you guys who underclock your phones,do me a favour and try using the four Galaxy LWP's(Vortex,Shadow,Inferno and Ice galaxies) from maxelus.net .Anything below 1.4GHz stutters a little,while those four crippled my Desire HD back when I used them.I myself use GOLauncher EX too with Classic Black theme.I find it absolutely gorgeous,but if it was smoother it'd be perfect for me.I always liked LauncherPro and would buy the paid version IF Fede(The developer) released the promised,completely rewritten new version.Until then it's GOLauncher all the way for me.TW?I find it to be a pathetic excuse of a launcher,except for the smoothness.That's only my opinion though. :)
[Galaxy S II General] darkmessiah:
i have used almost all the launchers available in the market but somehow get back to Launcher Pro Plus within a couple of days ..

Launcher Pro Plus is the best daily driver launcher out in the wild for speed, stability, customization and battery life ..

[Galaxy S II General] Jabbypants:
With SPB Shell 3D its as smooth as using touchwiz with live wallpapers and its the only one I have tried from them all that is with live wallpapers, no stutters or anything and the app draw is like butter.
[Galaxy S II General] Archer:
I can only assume you've got other apps running that, between everything, causes a problem for you.

I had, for quite a while, some sweet-arse fire for my live wallpaper and I can say with 100% certainty that I had no lag using GO Launcher, either switching between screens, in-and-out of the app drawer, or scrolling anything (app drawer or scrollable widgets).

I do agree that it's a good acid test, but it passed with flying colours for me so there must be something else different about our setups.
[Galaxy S II General] tfn:
I currently use

Agile Lock ( sense3 lockscreen)

and

Launcherpro ( with sense theme)

and It makes my phone look like an amoled sensation :D

I also like MIUI launcher which is pretty neat as well, I like the folder options in it

and Go launcher with Anna theme which gives me a Nokia feel
[Galaxy S II General] Jabbypants:
I do agree with him on all other launchers I have tried even on a fresh wipe they lag ever so slightly when going in and out the app draw with live wallpapers, its not major but looks bad as its just there, but I have to say SPB is the only one that doesn't do it and matches TouchWiz for its smoothness.
[Galaxy S II General] poch_1421:
i'm using go launcher. you can even find free themes for it :)
[Galaxy S II General] AllGamer:
really really good FREE themes

i got a good collection of them

just use Google App Search instead of the Go Store search

i noticed the Go Store tends to highly more the paid ones

but with Google Market, you can filter to only see FREE ones ;)

How about a B&N Nook Color? Refurbs (with 1 year warranty) can be had for around $170.
[General Questions and Answers] nibras_reeza:
Go for a refurb Nook Color or Archos.

The tablet you showed has good specs but considering the fact that it's not a common model, you will have trouble finding,

1) rooting procedures.

2) service/repair

3) custom ROMs.

And, the one you showed looks like a Chinese tablet that have crappy hardware and software.
[General Questions and Answers] Sebz4n:
If you took a look at the review they said it was quite neat, and I've only heard good things about it when looking around.

It just worries me a bit, that people says 2.2 is crap and that dual core is worth **** when most things only run one one :/

Nook Color and Archos is e-reader, I don't want that :/

Only 2.3 and 3.0 tablets worth buying?
[General Questions and Answers] dmiller1:
Nook is fully functional android tablet when rooted... Not just e-reader... And much better than the Chinese tablet you are looking at. A friend at work bought one of those... Very slow and lags like crazy... No good. Hope you find what works for you.
[General Questions and Answers] Sebz4n:
I found this forum for rooting etc..

http://www.slatedroid.com/forum/204-rena/

Nook Color has an A8 800Mhz, that is worse and consumes way more power
[General Questions and Answers] nibras_reeza:
2.3 and 3.0 tablets are somewhat worth buying. Archos is not an eReader. It's a PMP/tablet. Nook Color is an eReader and so has an excellent display. Still, it's full touch and can be rooted and made to function as a real tablet.

I wouldn't really call 2.2 crap. It's good but with a Nook Color, you will be able to update to 2.3.5 using CM7.

It's sad that you are making me repeat myself, a Nook Color comes with an American warranty unlike a Chinese product which has no warranty. Even if they advertise one, you can't be sure that they will honor it 100%.

A review can be biased. On the internet, you can easily write a biased review. Nook Color has a huge modding community and, not everyone is going to be biased.

As for Archos, it's more multimedia oriented and so has a dual cam as well.

I wouldn't call dual core ****. Although not a lot of software can utilize multi-threading, you will see better software soon. It might take some time by when, your tablet would become slow and outdated. Dual core is worth it but it's not a smart choice, right now.

Nook Color does consume more battery but it has reasonable life.

Then again, it all boils down to your own priorities. If you don't mind a sub-standard Chinese product as long as it's cheap and has some cool specs, go ahead. If you want a somewhat quality product which is either little expensive or has lower specs, don't buy the model you showed.

What is your primary purpose for this tablet?

I would second the suggestions for Nook&Color.

Also, I hear Amazon's going to launch it's new android based eBook-centric tablet, as "Amazon Kindle" for $250. If you just want to read some ebooks, do a little surfing, and play games like Angry Birds. Then I think this tablet is for you. Keep in mind that this tablet is very ebook-oriented and NOT AT ALL like any other android based tablet. Heck, it doesn't even support some of the google services (Android market). You may want to watch out for that.

X10 Airpad

I have the x10 airpad, just got it today. Its pretty nice in the features. 2 things I do not like though, first you have to charge though a power adapter and 2 it uses mini usb in stead of micro. The device is pretty quick (compared to my nook color). I have tested it for about a day and I like it. The external HDMI works, so does the usb port (tested keyboard and mouse). Plays Netflix and Crackle like a Champ and works with my gps tether app.

I intend to use it as a car tablet for gps and music, as well as netflix (not sure if that is legal). I hope that people start creating mods for it, but I am afraid people are going to buy the lenovo IdeaPad Tablet instead since it has built in GPS, but not the HDMI out and usb connector. But I am so far happy with my purchase. I just hope the device does not die on me in 2 months.
