Just switched to Launcher Pro. .so much faster than go launcher. .go launcher is easier to customize and has better widgets, but the performance of launcher pro is on another level IMO. .

Guys, could u plz cnfrm..m getting note this weekend :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] neiltluck:
Is this a stock rom or aftermarket. Whete do I find it and how do I install it please?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] nandihno:
I find that tw is far better and less laggy then any other rom

Almost as it is more optimized with exynos

Has anyone tried Lightning Launcher? It's supposedly uses very little resources and is fast. I was thinking about trying this launcher once I receive my Note next week. I would do it on my Epic 4G on Sprint but I really like Launcher Pro on it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] emuX:
Having flirted with Go Launcher I then moved to ADW Ex when Google were doing the cheap premium apps promotion and loved it due to the customisations you can do (although it takes a while to tweak it just right.)

Having had SPB Shell on an old WinMo phone, which I loved, I prevaricated about buying it for Android. Eventually I bought it thinking I could refund if it wasn't all that. As it turns out I still love it and switching it to tablet mode allows you to take advantage of the extra screen Res the Note has. The 3D effects and general eye candy are pretty awesome for showing off the Note too!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] gurnishdhillon:
Touchwiz 4.5 is the way to go for me

Umm not a big fan of SPB ,,,,, too much eye candy for me ,,,

I have been switching between Touchwiz 4.5 using my own custom themes like the one i have posted below ....

other than that i tried using GoLauncher ex for a while but i is not very smooth on my Stock Rom LC1 ,,

have tried ADW EX as well and it has gotten a lot smoother after LC1 update ,, but still needs more help ...

Go Launcher

I find Go Launcher REALLY stuttery for me... It looked quite good but turned me off because of it's stuttering/lagginess. :s
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Shingo77:
Yeah Go Launcher is a bit laggy sometime, even with CheckROM and franco kernel.

Hope that it'll be better with ICS
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] M3TALLICA:
Nemus Launcher for me.

Does not lag. Consumes 50% less memory than Touchwiz - 50 mb vs 25 mb.

Deleted Touchwiz !!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] eliashadow:
Just try it..

I had ADW but nemus give me no lug at all!

Simply, beautiful, smooth...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] singular9:
Listen to me, don't use all those popular launchers because they r retarded on tablets, get ilauncher, if u like get the full version. Its not some thing retarded trust me its worth the cash
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ray1234:
I've been using Launcher Pro, but has not been able to get it very smooth switching screens, yesterday I finally managed to change some settings and get it butter smooth now, so if you try out Launcher Pro, do try it :

1) use Franco kernal beta, it makes browser faster as well

2) in preference - advance settings - memory usage settings, DO NOT choose 'use homescreen caches', this makes the scrolling stutter, without it everything is butter smooth
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kersh:
I can only use a launcher with folders inside the drawer and go launcher it is the only with that.Well touchwiz too but have less options

No folders in drawer = no go

Have tried all the launchers mentioned here. Currently using TSF Shell. It's great! Fast, light, fresh
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] TempusFudgeIt:
Over $14 AU for a replacement launcher? Sorry to expensive for me.

I hate to say it but I am happy with Touchwiz - always responsive on a variety of kernels and ROMs.

Tried demo versions of launcherpro, Go launcher and ADW - must be my aversion to things new, but I find Touchwiz very practical, easy to use and effective. It's not that ugly either!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Jumbo78:
Well, on SGS I used to use ADW Launcher EX, but on NOTE is this Launcher laggy when you use more screens - 2 screens with widget and lags come...

Now I am on TW, but it is not the right I want to use :D SPB is to expensive, to use it as alternative Launcher...

I maybe wait for update of ADW :D

Official XXLA6 ROM
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] vegetables:
TSF Shell is the best
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] spacenbeyond:
Go launcher works very smoothly for me... N they also hav a lot more themes to choose from..

Atleast for me.. I think some of the apps are really expensive esp wen u can hav the go launcher for free..

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] zc1:
I've used a ton of them (Go, LauncherPro, ADW, Regina, SPB Shell, Claystone, Hi, NetFront Life Screen, ss, Zeam). I keep coming back to Go Launcher. It runs the smoothest for me, and has the best mix of features for my purposes. I'm still interested in trying out TSF Shell and Launcher7 (although I haven't been particularly attracted to the Windows phone interface...should be interesting to try nonetheless). I strongly suspect that the end result will be that I just waste a bit of time (nothing new) and end up with Go Launcher, again.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] knightnz:
Why are they "retarded"?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] richlum:
Is there anyway to hide the dock on Go Launcher or LauncherPro?

I used to user LauncherPro on my Galaxy S, but now on the Note I don't want to have the dock visible.

I'm using ADW Launcher EX, but I think it's a bit slower, and laggier than Go Launcher or Launcher Pro.

I would use Go Launcher if could hide the dock... I like their widgets a lot too.

thanks,

Rich
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] RReckless:
I have been using launcher pro and have been very happy with it but I have to say I've been trying out spb and it's amazing. In tablet mode it's just to good. It shows me just what a huge difference a launcher makes. I hate TW, really liked sense and launcher pro but spb takes full advantage of screen size and is so slick.

if anyone is going to say it's too expensive, I completely agree, it's way over the top in my opinion.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] AA1973:
Go Launcher Ex: With a gesture you can hide the dock bar e.g. swipe up to bring up the dock bar and swipe up again to hide it.

Galaxy Note GT-N7000 - GB.XXLC1
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] richlum:
Thanks AA1973.

I didn't know about that.

I just tried it out.

Unfortunately it doesn't completely remove the dock, it just hides it and you can't use the screen space where the dock usually is.

With ADW if you hide the dock you can use the whole screen.

On one of my screens I have a row of circle launcher widgets along the bottom that open up different app circles in the middle of the screen. With ADW the widgets are right at the bottom of the screen, but with Go Launcher they sit the height of the dock above the bottom of the screen and look out of place.

Go Launcher is definitely faster and smoother moving between screens, but ADW looks better because I can use the whole screen... what to do, what to do...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] skywalker1970:
If the issue is only related to one screen that you have the Widgets in, you can on go launcher ex, restrict the dock to one screen so that your other screens can use the whole area.

Edit. Ignore the post. Doesn't work. Bit of a brain fade on my part.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] AA1973:
I know that. But as you asked for the visibility of the dock, that's the solution for Go. Unfortunately the only solution I know of. Whatever that means :) For using the plain, whole screen I think ADW EX is best.

Galaxy Note GT-N7000 - GB.XXLC1
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] richlum:
OK, cheers. Thanks for the help.

I guess I'll stick with ADW for the time being and hope that it improves with a future update.

It's more than usable, it only stutters or slows down occasionally. But enough to be annoying when it does :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Ranafram:
For any out there who've flashed a leaked ICS rom onto their phone, I'd definitely recommend Apex launcher :)

Has not crashed once on me, provides much customisability, and is very slick!

Only issue is I found that it doesn't have a whole slew of screen transition effects, but those'll come soon enough.

Definitely a HUGE upgrade from the stock TWLauncher!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] tbong777:
Yeah i LOVE GO but its awfully laggy using the Cube home screen animations and a ton of DVR widgets LOL Still worth using though.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] qazokm123:

I like Go Launcher EX. It does have a lag ( wish they would fix that ;) but I love all of the transition options and the option to fully customize the dock.

I thought apex was good...and it is.

But...Nova is something else. Much faster and smoother for me. I've switched as of this morning and not looking back.

Apex has more options but nova is faster and smoother. Big difference for me.

SS Launcher The original. Nothing beats it on customization.

Go launcher ex just had an update. My fav and works amazing on GB stock UK Note. Also like their SMS app, Go SMS pro, as it allows me to use emoji icons when texting between me and my wife who uses a 3GS. Also their SMS app has much better options, like alerting more than once if text not checked etc

Their other plugins are also amazing, like the switch widget. I like this because it has an option to make the volume control operate the notification volume together with the ringtone volume. Their power and task manager widget are also excellent.

I was firmly entrenched in the Apex camp but switched to Nova Launcher Prime simply because the dev confirmed future WidgetLocker integration is planned.

There is a thread about super charger 6. If you use this, you will see an improvement with ADW.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Towserspvm2000:
It's only as hideous as you want to make it look - way more configerable than go launcher, and faster and smoother. I've got gragically intense live wallpapers running, lots of widgets and about 7 screens, and it still zips along. Golauncher and ADW would chug along.

I'm currently using Go Launcher EX and I'm getting this wierd thing on the Accuweather widget.

There are some problems around weather icons, something like halo rings.

Weird thing is that when I move that screen, ring are gone and then they are back when i let go and the screen stops.

It's not a big deal and it's a launcher related but I just wanted to know if somebody else noticed it.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] stalkachu:
The halo thing is probably because you aren't using High Quality Drawing. It's in the Go Launcher menu under Advanced Settings.

I read a post here somewhere (dev forum maybe for i9100, fun with resistors thread) that the phone limits itself to 750mA when it charges. So you can use this car charger and it should be ok. I have a verizon charger that has a spare USB port on it, and the phone charges just fine. Only issue I have is the alternator noise that's put out the headphone jack when I am using the car charger. But I have some ways around that I think.

I got a call from 2313 about 5 minutes ago & ignored it. It then showed I had a new voicemail so I listened and it was some Verizon rep informing me of an illegal bootloader on my device. They said they are looking into it and if I had any questions to call them back.

Has this happened to anyone else here?

EDIT: LOL... sorry, I pulled over and listened to the message again. There was some thread on here awhile ago about filing a complaint with the FCC about Verizon locking bootloaders. There was a form to fill out to attempt to get Verizon to stop locking them and I submitted it.

So that's what the call was about. Heh... I can't believe Verizon's actually gotten back to me on it.
[Thunderbolt General] TXI Kaze:
Haha, nice little read. Eh, even if there wasn't the whole dispute with the FCC going on, Verizon couldn't do anything about us using different bootloaders. It's not illegal, according to the judge who turned down Apples case against jailbroken iPhones. Verizon's taking the coward's way in trying to scare people. Baaaah, humbug.

See title.

I've tried turn by turn, but the music and voice directions are the same volume. They're drowned out.

I've switched from Android, and the way it worked with Google navigation is as follows:

Music is playing -> Music Paused -> "Turn Right on X St" -> Music resumes

Do any apps have that option? I'm interested in Navigon, specifically.

Thanks for any help!
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
Don't know about any thrid-party ones, but the built-in navigation feature works like that.

However, it doesn't give instructions automatically; you have to tap it when you want directions for the next leg of the trip. Some (few) people like this, many find it annoying and/or unusably impractical.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikesnav:
Yeah, that's just not very useful :/
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikesnav:
For those who have Navigon: does it pause the music when getting audio directions?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Swatto86:
I would really like something like this too. Poweramp on Android gives the ability to pause music on short audio focus change (like when voice navigation is active music is paused and then resumed). I have yet to find an app on WP7.5 that does this.

I know bing maps does it but that doesn't give automatic voice guidance.

Any help would be appreciated. It would be extremely useful for listening to music through a bluetooth car stereo whilst having the navigation on...it is hard to hear when the navigation voice is speaking if music is playing at the same time.
