I know that most people's opinion on Go Launcher is negative. It's slow and ridden with ads. But. I recently tried go launcher ex prime (the paid version), turned off notifications and turned on the 3d core beta in the preferences and it is probably the smoothest launcher I have ever used. If Go is too flashy or too customized, I think Apex is the way to go.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Juice3250:
Couldn't stay on the stock ROM with TW launcher. Couldn't stand the look and feel of the screen transitions. Apex and Nova are very similar. ADW EX is similar to them as well but doesn't have the option to send an overlapping widget to front or back like apex and Nova do. Almost all themes work for all three. In other words if you find a theme for apex, it will most likely work on adw or Nova.

I got bored always changing icons and themes. Now I'm rocking Eclipse 5.0 version 3(4.2.2) with a pure stock AOSP look and feel.

Go Launcher is definitly the best. I never understood why custom ROMs come with nova and Apex, they dont have nearly as good screen animations. They are just as smooth, light, and fast, but Go Launchers screen transitions aren't on any other launcher. Other then that, most launchers seem to have the same basic options. I prefer the customize everything minus the look of apps (although possible), and Go Launchers interface and sleek, modern style just does it for me. Iv tried all other as well. I personally use Apex on my tablet, but Go Launcher on my phone. Seems to be the best combo!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] enjoi57:
This is my home screen, and just two of the transitions- home and app.

Nova is def faster than go. Go has a lot of bloatware

I use and recommend Holo Launcher HD Plus

Very light weight and smooth. Good amount of options, no bloat and very straight forward to setup and customize.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] enjoi57:
What kind of bloatware? Seriously, like what, I want to see if I have removed it yet. I just haven't found any launcher with Go transitions and to me, they really show off my phone. The main one I use is "sphere.". Do you know of any launcher I could check out that has that transition?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] omair2005:
background processes checking newest updates, for program, themes, etc.. just slows it down
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Terry_blair:
Apex is my fav. I find nova to be faster and smoother but theres just a few more options i have in apex that are not in nova.

As for the more customizable paid versions i prefer tsf shell much smoother than go and more bells and whistles to know what to do with. Spb shell is pretty smooth but there are Zero option to customize.

If you have a older phone or for some reason your still using fryo lol zeam launcher is the most light weight simple fast launcher iv ever used! Though theres no more development
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Juice3250:
What does apex have that nova doesn't?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] HypostaticOnion:
Apex uses skins, whereas nova uses only icons and a color chooser. I prefer nova, but wish I could use the skin option from apex on it.

I've been using Aviate for a while and it is pretty awesome. It is still in alpha and lacking some customization so it may not be for everyone but it is simple, intuitive, clean and different. I used to use Nova prime and loved it but Aviate has replaced it on my phone (at least for the time being).

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sgirard1991:
Holo, apex, adw, go launcher...

If you want to go a little more extreme try Regina or spb shell.

Regina and spb are more like "system wide themes"though, it's like having a custom Rom without actually having a custom Rom.

Spb shell is like $13 and you'll have to download it from the website it's not on the play store(at least not last time I looked)

Here's a starter:
[Asus Transformer TF700] gutts10:
I saw that there were no official benchmark threads here so I thought I'd post my results and everyone can do the same here.

This the procedure I used and the same procedure you should use in order to obtain little deviation from the mean:

Make sure the device is on performance mode

1) clear your recent apps

2) have an app close your background apps (I used Asus own widget that says "one click clean")

3) run your benchmark

These are the scores I got on my stock 4.0.3 tf700:

Sunspider = 1356.9ms

V8 benchmark = 1719

Quadrant = 4407 (cpu=14354 mem=4019 i/o=1225 2d=175 3d=2260)

Antutu = 13443 (cpu=8340 ram=3022 gpu=1405 i/o=676)

Nenamark 1= 58.9fps

Nenamark 2 = 38.3fps

Smartbench and sql I omitted bc the results were way off (2 yr old phones were outperforming our tablet).

I like the Quadrant and Antutu benchmarks bc I think these two give the best results and show the bottleneck in our beloved TF700T (i/o) and the beast that is the tegra3. The i/o of the tf700 if pretty pathetic. My atrix which is 1.5yrs old doubles the tf700 in the i/o department. Despite that downfall the TF700T is still the best and strongest tab on the market.

I'll leave it up to you guys to decide if the 2d in Quadrant makes any sense to u guys. 175 seems pretty bad. Also the gpu seems pretty meek. But I am a novice and I can't decipher Benchmarks like u guys can.
[Asus Transformer TF700] HoushaSen:
It's actually interesting you got 1300's on Sunspider because many sites were more like 1800 and when I had the device. In fact, Galaxy Note has 1300's and that the one of reason I thought browser speed on the Galaxy Note was faster than the Infinity (though benchmark is just benchmark but it at least showed the # difference of what I experienced, but may be you got really good unit and I had bad units).

I would personally add RL Benchmark and Androbenchmark as those #'s reflected the fact stock I/O on infinity being much slower than other devices, and perhaps explanation of the frequent ANR on infinity vs. Note's 20's RL score without a single ANR (for past 2 & 1/2 weeks). Though given custom rom had fixed RL score on Infinity down to 19, the infinity can definitely get down to the same level but not on current stock.

tl;dr Most stable ROM in your opinion?

There are a variety of ROMS for our HTC Sensations. Some solid builds, others experimental. I tried a CM10 ROM earlier, for the first time and thought it was quite amazing:confused:. Project Butter is SO noticeable. I fell in love with it pretty quickly, but the battery life and stability are a real turn off, but of course without official source code we make due, right?

In your experience, what is the most stable ROM you have tried? I know each dev works hard, but we all know some ROMs are simply better than others for difference reasons, both subjective and objective. For me, the most stable ROM is ARHD. No matter what else I try I always find myself coming back to it because it works the best of all the ROMs I've tried.
[HTC Sensation] sromer:
I think Android Revolution HD is the most stable and it's the best ROM battery wise i've ever tried too.

Most stable, well that's a hard call because I've used many stable roms. I cannot really say which was more stable than the other because I've never really had too much trouble with stability.... Several have proven to be very stable....its different opinions for everyone and I can't really choose one in particular...

The good news is that they actually received it, so it's their fault. If they didn't receive it, YOU would have to deal with the shipping company, which is an absolute hassle.

But anyway, since they lost it, demand they give you a brand new phone.

Just sent in my phone, can't decide if I am hoping they lose it or not.

The glue on the left side of my bezel started to come off and I sent it in hoping to just get that fixed. But I had hacked my phone. I just hope that they realize its hardware related and just fix it and forget about me hacking my phone...

Back on topic, if they lost your phone, I would demand a new phone at the very least. If not I would want a EVO LTE.

yes happened to me before when i sent in my n1 for repairs. the postal service did show that it got delivered to HTC. i kept on calling them every 3-4 days for like 3 weeks non-stop. eventually, they admitted it was lost in their facility so they sent me a new unit.

[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Anyone played this game? It's a blast, once you pick the right car... I suggest buying a Monster Truck you can afford then playing the Random Event until you get enough credits to get the most expensive Monster Truck, then try the other events... The other vehicles have some use, but pretty limited IMO..

The controls are not always perfect, I have trouble reversing and steering sometimes, etc... but I have a lot of fun playing the game.. BTW if you want to mess around with vehicles, just play the Desert level Random Event for an hour or so, you'll get about 300 credits an hour doing that, probably more.

If you've played this, or start playing it, there's one Ring in the Green level that I absolutely cannot seem to hit, anyone been able to hit this?

There's two ramps on the other side, water in the middle, and there's a vertical ramp on the water side of the ramp in the screenshot. I've managed to get up enough speed to even land on the ramp on the other side of the water, but still can't hit the stupid ring. Tried all of the vehicles... I'd love to know how to hit this, it's driving me crazy.

Otherwise, I play the game entirely too much.. I haven't managed to pass the 3000 point games in either level, and 2000 took me quite a few tries, but the others were pretty easy. I play Random Event a lot and have like 5000 credits, after buying the best vehicles, so don't worry too much about the credits except to save up for the best Monster Truck.

Busses, eh, drive like you'd expect. They get stuck a lot, but they're strangely fast. Heavy Trucks similar, not stuck as much, but pretty fast. Monster Trucks are slower but much easier to control on the landscape in this game. Rat Buggies are eh basically harder to control Monster Trucks.. speed Racers and Muscle Cars are pretty useless in the game IMO, they get stuck constantly and are very difficult to control.
