Adw ex. All others are choppy espescially if you underclock. Other than that stock.

I always used Launcher pro and it worked great on my cappy, i also used it on my sgs2 for quite a while with no issues. I liked tb as t my special desktop icons were always there and workwd flawless through many reflashes or nightly updates. At some point I decided to try Go Launcher and have been using it ever since. I like how many different themes can be used, how you can use different themes for different parts like homescreens, docks, app drawer, etc. Can all be themed differently along with other things I cannot think of right now. I ended up liking it so much that i am now running go launcher on my SGS2, Captivate with ICS using a ICS theme, the wifes SGS2, and daughters Captivate.

I really like Go Launcher. It runs smoothly on my S2. One of my favorite features is that the app drawer has three tabs...ALL, RECENT & RUNNING. I go to the RUNNING tab and can easily close whatever apps I like without having to open a task killer app. Not sure if ADW can do that; but I didn't see it upon quickly browsing the app.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Nick281051:
Funny, the tabs are one thing that I hated most about go launcher I'm glad you can change that now
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] axis01:
Just downloaded this after you posted it up. I have to say that it's pretty damn cool. Reminds me a lot of LPP but appears to have more themes and tilesets to download. I hope it's not the battery hog LPP was. If not, it will be my DD. Thanks greatly.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gr8hairy1:
No problem. I haven't noticed any high battery drain from it. If you ever have issues with blank unmovable spaces, force close the app and they'll go away. Hasn't happened in a long time for me.

I used to use go launcher with the ICS Theme, but recently I have taken a liking to the stock MIUI Launcher. Nice and Smooth, the only thing it lacks is an app drawer but folders work fine!

I'm a big fan of Go Launcher Ex. Love that it's free, and the widgets are almost as good as LPP. The App drawer settings are a lot better than in LPP as well.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 21cdb:
I've tried a bunch but end up back with the stock MIUI launcher because it has transparent icon label backgrounds and I can make the font size smaller in spare parts. I haven't found another launcher that will let me do that, and I don't like the way the icon labels look without doing those two things.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Blackjack113:

ADW EX is my favorite launcher, too. I've got every launcher I've heard of downloaded on my phone and I always come back to ADW EX.

I have used GO launcher EX and LauncherPro quite a bit, but when the Market had ADW EX on sale for 10 cents I downloaded it and have never looked back.

I am using a GO launcher EX theme wallpaper with ADW EX, however.

I love how customizable ADW EX is.

Still stuck on Touchwiz which just seems the most fluid to me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] *GalaxyDev*:
I have four installed in my phone that are just my fabs for some stuff specifically:

Go Launcher EX: for their theming and customization

SPB Shell 3D: their concept and interface

Launcher Pro+: my first launcher that after they dont update anymore its still one of the best for widgets, stability and smoothness

Touchwiz: the basic one that always provide a stable smooth launcher
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tneil:
I tried Launcher Pro, ADW, and Go Launcher but I always go back to Touchwiz, it just works for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jazzboyrules:
I switched from TouchWiz -> LauncherPro -> Go Launcher. I think that I will be staying with Go Launcher for a while now. Very much satisfied with its smoothness, low impact on battery and customizability (gestures, function overload of taskbar icons, etc..)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] harlenm:
Just wanted to add that I found Launcher 360 here on XDA for anyone interested in trying it. Thought that it was only in the current rom I was using, but I was wrong.

Go launcher has my vote. I've tried many other but keep finding myself coming back.

Although Launcher Pro and Zeam are good alternatives as well.

Might I add also that I absolutely can't stand TouchWiz...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] alacrify:
Trying this now - I'm impressed with it already. Needs work, but they're doing that. I've used TW, TW4.5, ADW EX (my normal default) and Go Launcher EX, and tried some others that didn't click.

I'm going to stick with this for a while and see how it goes. Thanks for the tip!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cropythy:
I have used motoblur, stock, touchwiz, sense, launcherpro, golauncher, zeam, and adwex and always to back to adwex. It is the smoothest for me and has the most customizable options.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] zeinoonm:
ADW, never tried the others but happy with all the options that ADW gives me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dmm5157:
Agreed on ADW EX. I've used it on all my phones and tablet. Simple, lots of options, and doesn't lag.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dmm5157:
Thanks for the tip. I'm trying it out as well. I'm going to give it a few days to see how I like it.

I was already using ADW EX + Powerstrip + Launcher-X Pro to keep my home screen tidy and reduce the number of shortcuts on my home screen. I do like how Launcher360 allows you to easily reorganize your launcher. Big help in keeping things clean, as I have well over 100 apps.

One feature I'd love to have with it is quick resizing of widgets like ADW EX, as well as more options with columns/rows. Still going to give it some time to see if it grows on me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] axis01:
I too loved it UNTIL they did a update. The last update messed up my Simi clock. Not sure what they did but it appears as though they did something with the scale. Since you can't rescale it beyond the 3 choices they have, it killed it for me. Also the fact that the weather portion is useless in the US.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] i root SGH i777:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mcclausky:
I have ICS and I'm happy with Apex :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] doublen1:
Pretty much Apex launcher exclusively. I'd probably try out Nova but I've already paid for the pro version of Apex and they are pretty much the same.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gibby_:
Apex

I've tried a bunch, but my favorite hands down is Apex. The make or break feature is one I got addicted to in CM7s ADW launcher, the ability to launch apps using swipes on the homescreen. I got so used to swiping up to launch my phone that I couldn't get used to using a button after switching from CM7. Even Apex free version I've found to be better than many of the paid launchers out there. Just my $0.02.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] spiralout1:
Since this thread's back to active lately, I'll jump in with my favorite.

I'm using Apex atm, but only because it was the default on my latest current ROM and haven't gotten around to reinstalling everything. Best of the "standard" launchers, in my opinion.

My favorite (and most customizable) is ssLauncher. It'll do pretty much anything you'd ever want and then some. It does have a steep learning curve and can seem overwhelming at first, the way Tasker can :confused:, but if you're a tweaker and customizer, there's none better. It's default is sort of a magazine cover style, but you can do anything with it.

Here's some xda threads about it:

[ssLauncher] Show your ssLauncher layout

Here's what my first attempt at a theme looked like:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] wbcollins:
Lightning launcher looks very promising. I've enjoyed playing with it some. Imagine your desktop is really of indeterminate size, you can zoom in or out as needed to get to different collections of icons and widgets or see the whole thing at once. You are not constrained to multiple pages of fixed dimensions. I'm trying to get used to it. Has anyone else given it a go yet?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Phalanx7621:

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] darowen:
May I know for this tab as it don't support calling function,

but can it still use app such as "whatsapp" and "viber"?

as those apps still need a phone number?

wifi only version and wifi+3g version both can or cannot?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] the_hatrix:
yes you can

Doing that with my 8.9LTE.

You need to grab the apk file from somewhere as the market will not show it (the tab is not a phone).

You also somehow need to import your contacts so that they can show up.

Your sim card has a phone number even if it is not meant for calling.

[Defy General] try2fall:
Please, can someone help me....
[Defy General] miscz:
Once you flashed 2.3.6 there's no going back to Froyo kernels. New bootloader (v6) doesn't allow them so you can flash only 2.3.6 SBFs.
[Defy General] try2fall:
Is there maybe a version who supports the camera..thx
[Defy General] ryan8r:
None of the 2.3.x builds support the Green Camera Module. You can try and root your device and apply Greenbread mod. If that doesn't help AOSP roms like CM7 , MIUI might aid you.

Sent not from your device!
[Defy General] twa_priv:
Doesn't Greenbreadmod install a Froyo kernel - which will cause a bootloader error and you need to flash an sbf to fix it.

Hi folks!

Does anyone know how to make A101 initramfs init script so that it could end up in shell (i.e. not loading rootfs.img)?

I tried to modify Angstrom's default init script ( http://pastebin.com/tMv3bjiG ), but without any success. The screen stays simply black, no any messages at all...

The script uses Busybox, it has mknode, getty, login and all that stuff.

hmm, how 's the way i should ask.....forgive my language not so well......

my problem is: when i full screen for gaming, the cm7's status bar will hide down, and when i want to exit the game but the game dont have exit button. i dont know how to get back the status bar (back) from hidden.......

and every times exit the game i have to press on/off button and release the ram memory by 360* (*a widget from china made anti virus) then the game will erase and exit.

Install a app such a zmooth. It puts a little touchpad at the bottom of your screen, where you can use 3 gestures for home, menu and back. Works in all windows, such as fullscreen games or apps.

thx to you~!!! dude, it's working~
[Kindle Fire General] sladehawke:
Menu> settings> cyanogenmod settings> tablet tweaks> disable fullscreen

Choose the other softbuttons you want here too, like a home button on the notification bar!

Otherwise, choose power buttons menu and add a back button... Home button is on the power screen by default.
[Kindle Fire General] devilot:
Be aware that disabling fullscreen may cause UI issues on some games and apps where the controls and text get mashed together. Real Racing 2 on mine had the controls and menu selections all mashed up on top of each other until I re-enabled fullscreen.

Another way is to add back button to power button settings
[Kindle Fire General] foxdog66:
I really like this here https://market.android.com/details?id=com.smart.swkey for a few reasons. I can have it almost completely hidden (I watch a lot of videos and want the least amount of distraction) and you can also long press on them (which also works with cm's mods) so if you have the option set to kill foreground app via long pressing back button, it will work with button savoir, another example would be... I have holding menu button hides/shows the status bar via cm settings, that works with button savoir (actually that does not even work with cm's built in soft keys) I'm thinking about buying the license key so i can remove/customize the buttons but I haven't yet. I'm kinda holding out for cm 9/ICS. My experience with the unstable builds are that navigation is very well done and I might not feel the need for any third party navigation method.
[Kindle Fire General] Sblood86:
That would be my choice as well yes, I've had it running on my KF since day one. Havn't bought a license key more for the fact that the only time I need it is when I need a back or menu button from within a fullscreen app
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsafety:
Another Noob question for those who would like to weigh in. I have my GT7510 on Task 13.1 and just installed Pershoot's latest kernal along with SetCPU. With this configuration I can now overclock. I know how to do it, the question is why?

My device seems to run very well. Other than some occasional lags and delays, I cannot say that I am unhappy with the performance. What will gain by overclocking and what will the tradeoffs be?

For the record, I do not use my Tab for gaming. My most common usage is for Internet, email, GPS, reading books and mags and the occasional movie.

Thanks in advance.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] animatechnica:
Trade off is better performance at potentially reduced battery life. set in on demand so it only oc when you need that extra performance boost
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slack04:
Exactly. The advantage is just improved performance; if you're happy as is, there's no other advantage! But, if it's set to "on demand" it will only overclock when advantageous; otherwise it will clock back down. Battery hit is nominal.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsafety:
It sounds like there is a potential upside to overclocking with minimal downside as long as "on demand" is specified. I will give it a try.

What kinds of applications will get improved performance with overclocking?

Bob
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] animatechnica:
Most applications on the tablet world are lighly threaded so they theoreticslly benefit from increased frequency. However certain apps might not be so demanding that the current frequency is good enough so you may not see a bump. I would say video playback, physics games, photo filters are likely to see performance gains

Hi,

I have noticed something strange on my Titan, just when I wanted to reply on an email. I was typing (black letters on the white background in the mail app) and suddenly I saw some strange shadow of the keyboard in the mail I was typing. When I press, let's say the Enter button, I can see the shadow of the Enter button a few inches above the keyboard itself as well. It's hard to explain, but I think it has something to do with the lcd itself. I was wondering if anyone noticed this as well?
[HTC Titan] drupad2drupad:
+1

I have noticed it numerous times and you will see it more often it you tend to swap from landscape to portraite mode with white background. I don't think any other phone has it. It's just the LCD itself like you said. Why it does it, won't know yet. But you will see it very very often even in apps at times if you keep white background permanently.
