But thanks for the list! I will give a try to most of them :)

legacy launcher

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wordpress.chislonchow.legacylauncher
[Android Apps and Games] Carlos72:
Hi everybody.

I tried many launchers, some of them are fast, but lack features, others have many options, but are heavy.

In the end I decided to keep Go Launcher EX, because I think it's have a lot of good features and great eyecandy . I have a Defy @ 1GHz and, in it, Go sometimes present some slowdowns.

I tried also Laucher Pro Plus, but didn't like it and ADW Launcher EX. ADW is really fast, and have almost all the options of GO, but have a serious issue. Anytime I quit some application, especially a heavy one (like Dead Space), it's freezes for seconds, and sometimes redraws the screens.

I write a email to the developer about that, but I had no response until now. Appears to me that ADW and Launcher Pro are dead projects. I'm correct?

Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] Gnaver:
well launcher pro is dead for more than a year now and dunno about ADW...i hope adw is alive because its my main launcher :D
[Android Apps and Games] rycheme:
Now that the list has grown so considerably, I would love to see the list categorized. Categories could be by OS supported, designed for (speed, customization, tablet) or something similar.

What LauncherPro has given this far is so very precious. It is still compatible with almost all the phones with a lag free user interface.

That's true. Its smooth even on zte blade which have stock rom very laggy and slow. But can you imagine how will it be when he rewrite it? Its pity that he leave it

For me , after trying nearly all the available launchers , the most perfect launcher from every aspect is the FTL Launcher created by dear Lowveld !! It never lags & not a single experience of a FC !! Brilliant !! :)

The latest update has also opened a big door for it's customization !! :)
[Android Apps and Games] dskina:
Lsense came out recently as a paid app, it looks like a decent Sense clone.

My preference is ADWLauncher EX.
[Android Apps and Games] ketani73:
@ dskina ..... My heartfelt thanks for that priceless info regarding "Lsense Launcher" , just purchased & looks extremely promising !!

Very smooth running & further updates may make it one of the best launchers around !! ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Carlos72:
I agreed with you, after trying many launchers I decide to stay using it.

It's very fast on my Defy, even with the transition effects turned on.
[Android Apps and Games] debernardis:
Unfortunately Lsense has been found to be merely a skin upon a hacked Launcher Pro.

Has anyone stumbled upon a good paginated vertically scrolling launcher?
[Android Apps and Games] bsbabcock:
No kidding.. Something different. First that comes to mind is ssLauncher Pro. I miss the non-dock-bar thinking such as an old defunct launcher called *Spark UI. That thing had gobs of potential as a pretty cool launcher. It just needed some better theming and performance updates.

But in general, "Feed-based" such as *Spark or Slide-Screen were some interesting concepts. I'm one of the weirdo's who thinks the simplistic verticle-scrolling "tile" style of WP7 is actually kinda cool as well, but to me that style in launcher alone loses its identity and is a bit out of place when mixed with the rest of android.

Won't it make the phone heavy?

Most Android phones come with a layer of launcher on top of the original stock Android. Even if you have 4gb or RAM its not enough. For example, I have 4gb RAM and out of all that I have 636 mb left. The system is using up 70% of RAM which is android and Google mostly. So, if you put another launcher on top it will be a triple layer and take up more RAM?
[Android Apps and Games] leoxsh:

I don't wanna be annoying, but im developing Posidon Launcher (it is on the play store), and was wondering if you could add it to the list.

Launch-x pro is possibly the best app launcher widget it allows you to for example, to dedicate a 4x4 area on home screen and have that.area scrollable up and down with all your apps its like having an app drawer as a widget. That should be standard for android come to think.of it.

Missing two

Missing two, and they're my daily drivers:

widgetboard - pro version. Lite version doesn't let you set it as a home launcher, pro does. Free-form, lets you change appearance of pretty much everything, no grid, but you can set a snap-to grid of arbitrary values. Canvas size seems unlimited, but probably has one - I haven't hit it, and I've gone to about 3000 x 2000. Allows layering, z-ordering. Worked w/ 2.x and 3.x, possibly ICS.

sslauncher - similar to widgetboard in the free-form, z-ordering, adjust appearance of any object areas. Width is limited by device resolution width, height is dynamic. Multiple 'pages'. 2.x only, AFAICT. If I could run this on all my devices, I would. As is, I'm holding an HTC Sensation down at 2.3.7 so I don't have to give up this launcher.
[Android Apps and Games] Rvl7:
anyone know launcher that has the same transition as ICS?

[Android Apps and Games] shockem:

I see sslauncher was added, widgetlocker's still missing.

Via moving up to ICS on a sensation, I've found that widgetlocker no longer is reported as compatible (worked w/ GB & HC, at least), while sslauncher does.

Note that there's two versions of widgetlocker; the free version cannot be set as a home replacement, while the paid version can. (They're also fully separate apps, so they can be run concurrently. With a transparent or semitrans background, it can be an interesting effect.)
