Launcher Pro:

Customizable, has its own custom Sense like widgets, different icon sets you can choose for the dock.

ADW/EX:

Most customizable - cant even begin to describe the options you can customize. But it all comes at a price, it has a large memory footprint, and i noticed decreased battery life, ADW gave me the greatest decreased life over all the others.

Go Launcher:

Go Launcher is nice, its app drawer system takes a small learn curve to get used to, but it does incorporate a built in task manager to kill apps. I prefer Go Launcher on my G2 because it lacks a similar feature as the Vibrants Task Manager utility from long pressing the Home button.

Zeam:

Zeam is really light weight, and doesn't have has many customization options as everything above. But its simple clean interface that keeps it nice and light is why i like it. It doesn't eat memory or drain my battery to operate.

Touchwiz Mod:

Modded TouchWiz is really nice! But it didn't give me enough customization. But on the flip side using it you still can use all the TouchWiz widgets, which are some of the better widgets made in my opinion.

On my Vibrant i use Zeam exclusively, its a good idea to try em all out and see what fits your needs best. Like i said i use Go! on my G2 and Zeam on my Vibrant because of how they fit to each device.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] z3NN9:
Thats what I like, its like lp but with the extra customization of adw.

Still gonna get adw ex to see if I like it.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] z3NN9:
FYI~ GoLauncher EX has built in app killer. Its the far right tab in the app drawer. :)
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] nickmcminn60:
I didnt see any mention about the new launcher Pro that has animations for home screen scrolling like flip, cube,rotate , and scale. I think it is the most STABLE and less lag
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] angryPirate12:
yea i know, just a typo, i'm an artard... the built in app killer is why i use it on my G2... thanks for catching that and correcting me
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] sandpaperback:
Yeah, the transitions are really well done.

I've tried ADW, Launcher Pro and Go for a short time. I keep coming back to LP+ though. It just feels the best to me. I do wish he would add the horizontal app drawer though. I am going to keep my eye on Go for a bit though. Maybe I'll try Zeam tonight.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] bartek25:
its a rom that drains battery not a Launcher pro i can promisse you cause my phone lasst days with ka7 and LP but since u mentioned zeam i went for it because it reminds me of my blackberry and neat dektop :)
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] SBboundbRONCOS:
i used to like LP best but once i bought calengoo (best calendar app) i have no need for the LP widgets and ended up buying ADWEX to try it out, i love the extra dock bar (better than scrollable dock IMO) and gestures

you really cant go wrong though
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] tediberus:
ADW EX coolest transitions and smoothest

what i like about touchwiz though is it's app drawer where you can re arrange the icons however u like and u can even have pages half filled
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Blaqhawk:
Everyone will have their own reason as to why their launcher is the best. However, I will state in as few a words as possible why I prefer Launcher Pro +. First, it is well supported and VERY functional. I don't really think of it as being one launcher, I think of it as being 3. I personally have 5 of the 7 homescreens in use and don't need more. My two screens to the left of center (center is my home screen) are used for my Agenda Widget Pro widgets which display my hmail calendar and my coworkers calendars respectively. My home screen has widgets that monitor battery, weather, data usage, and my google tasks. My two right screens have a couple other widgets and some other frequently used apps.

However, my favorite thing about launcher pro is the ability to have basically 10 quick launch items on each screen.

Here are a couple screenshots.

Downloaded adw 1.2.2... Now to start in on the settings. Holy balls theres a lot of stuff im there..
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Paging Dr B:
Launcher pro and zeam are better than adw but adw-ex is the best. Imo.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] abhimukesh25:
Use ADW launcher ex. it is best launcher i have tride. Better then launcher pro.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] fit333:
LauncherPro..but, waiting on some longpress options though like some of the others have.

sent from my iBRANT.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] BigNate:
i use both launcher pro and adw but i tend to use launcher pro as my regular. I just like how the app work but they're both good they both have hidden gems like they both have an option to uninstall an app by holding the app over the trashcan for 3 seconds, they both have transition effects now they can both be theme (adw can be theme easier, launcher pro uses pics to theme it)

i use launcher pro plus if i were you use both and pick the one you want they are both great home replacements.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] eunkipark92:
Was a fan of lpp but once I tried adw launcher when I had nexus one (cm6 ) I loved it more than lpp now I am using adw ex :))

How much does more memory does adw eats because they eat about same rams.

Stock gingerbread launcher eats around 40mb

Zeam and adw ex eats around.d 20mb ffor me
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] lokerman:
ADW

I guess it comes down to whether you like more user friendliness/ease of use, or if more features and customizability is important to you. For me, the more control, the more options, the more features, the better. I think learning how to use all that stuff is part of the fun. And for those reasons, I choose ADW EX.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Senorkabob:
Is that the old beautiful Widgets before the C&D?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] MDEnce:
I've tried most of them - TW, ADW, aHome Go, Launcher Pro, even the Zune one, but I prefer Zeam as well.

Fast, light, never gives me problems.

If the App drawer had the wheel thing, and was a little more customizable I'd say it would be perfect.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Abu-7abash:
What exactly should we debate? You already seem to have made up your opinion, a good one too i must say.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] michaelg117:
So...after trying each launcher for about a week...I've come to the decision of using launcher pro with the scrolling theme...and I love iit(:

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] iynfynity:
I like the adw because it's easy to use, haven't tried adw ex because people said there's lot of options for it which I don't really like. lol LP is good too but I don't like vertical app drawer.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Martovitz:
Zeam

Zeam all the way, love it no clutter on home screen easy to get used to the only one i use now. :D
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] nomadrider123:
adw ex is sweet
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Dallenj:
spb shell 3d

truly the best launcher out there worth the price
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jkhrist:
Adw ex by far than zeam is a close second. Spb is nice but eats memory if it weren't such a resource hog it would be number 1. To be honest with you the number of options e x has is what makes it so great
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jrod33084:
Spb shell 3d is the best by far. Its in the market.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Twisted galaxy s:
Yup. I'm a zeam Guy myself. Its simple and I love being able to remove tray icons as well
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] napalm393:
adw ex is what i use, i love all the options it has and how customizable it is
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] avaldiv2:
I use zeam simply because i can use the full screen and gestures to open apps and my phone dialer
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] avaldiv2:
But launcher7 isn't even mentioned on here!! its pretty nice looking.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] dnahughes:
Have u tried spb 3d shell yet its lightning fast on my rooted vibrant

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] avaldiv2:
yes i tried it - its ok - neat but I really prefer a minimalist approach

and I don't feel right with myself when I don't pay for an app...
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Donte21:
In my opinion, I think that ADW launcher is better, just because of the fact you have more customization options such as themes, while launcher pro only has the option to change screen animations and the dock.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Blaqhawk:
LauncherPro is more for the person who wants functionality and ADW is more for the person who cares about looks. Most every computer power user / administrator I know uses LP.

EDIT: All my references to LP and ADW are for the premium versions. Support your DEVs people! Otherwise, why are you on this forum?

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] imitebewrong:
I just made the switch from adw ex to go launcher ex.

Go launcher used to lag... now its very smooth. It also has a task manager built right into the app drawer which is awesome.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jdm4u:
I'd have to go with Touchwiz 4.5. I used to have ADW and Launcher Pro, I would say Launcher pro would come second.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] parusia:
I have LP Plus, ADW XE, SPB SHELL 3D, but 4 days ago I tried Regina launcher 3D and is smooth and fast, also is free. I hooked with this new launcher, give it a try.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] cmrn89:
Launcher pro ftw used other launchers and I feel launcherpro is the best hands down
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Jasonhunterx:
Try claystone launcher that is future it is super awsome its like no other out there
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] SC23:
I came from TW and Launcher Pro. At first I like Launcher Pro better than TW because of more features and tweaks. Then I discovered Go Launcher Ex and it is waaaay better than all those launchers I have tried before. It has tons of themes and you can mix and match themes and icons from different other Go themes -- cool! And yea it is much faster than before and I just love that it has its own task manager.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] kwattro76:
Go Launcher EX all the way
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] kwattro76:
+1 GO LAUNCHER EX DEFINITELY

The SMS/MMS APP IS NICE AS WELL

I'm using all GO products
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] SC23:
Yea all my stock dialer, contact and sms/mms are replaced by Go. I freaking love this launcher.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] future1803:
I'm using TouchWiz 4.5 it is 200% faster than simply TouchWiz. The boot and the apps load are faster too.

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] mainevent3405:
+20! It's not even close. Have used them all. LP is overrated and ADW is nothing special. If you want TOTAL customization, Go launcher is the shiznit. Go weather, Go sms, Go keyboard, Go contacts...GO, GO, GO...Roflol.

I'm all GO'ed out :D:D
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] etichola:
Go launcher. Better than SPB 3D, LP, or Zeam.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] plaseo:
Go launcher all the way. I think I've tried every launcher there is.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] kaintfm:
Zeam

Zeam is really nice, though if another launcher supports gestures for launching things, I'd give it a shot.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] guilhermedsx:
I'm using GO EX to and I think it's awesome. I use everything GO.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] ChoctawT:
Really depends on what you prefer... for me Go Launcher really gets the job done!

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] gtoman7777777:
A launcher that I really think is beautiful is the Sony Ericsson Home Launcher. It is not on the market but it came with one of the ROMs...I'm thinking it was galaxy Extreme. It was probably the quickest launcher I've ever seen due to its simplicity yet had a pinch overview feature, very clean UI and just overall awesomeness packed in. See if you can find it here on XDA. You won't be disappointed!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] corpsetomb:
+1 for GO launcher. Easily applicable themes, lots of options on home screen and app screen, nice transitions, snappy, and it's free. Ultimately though, as most people would say, try them all and pick the one you like best!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] cmrn89:
Launcher pro all dayyyy
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] cs0407:
GO LAUNCHER is the best launcher to date. it has everything that adw and luncher pro has plus more. its really smooth zero lag. nothing buggy and constant updates which is always great. hope this helps
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] :
I liked go, but i feel that you have to use all the GO apps (such as sms) to really get the full advantage of it.

I use ADW due to being able to customize it just how i like and it is also open source which doesn't hurt.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] faith5x5:
I used LP for a looong time, but I gotta say I agree with all the love GoLauncherEX is getting. Smooth, nice options, a bit of eye candy. I like the go
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] michaelg117:
Bumpity bump(;
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] learn2swim96:
I used ADW and Launcher Pro each for a while. They both lacked things I wanted. Go Launcher Ex is the answer to my prayers! I love everything about it. Not one single complaint.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] bdubs4200:
Uhhh if your all about an absolute custom ui like I am, try sweeterhome. Its build for an intelligent person... so if you have time and creativity, sweeterhome cannot be beat.

I have had good luck with launcher pro, but will give the new go a whirl.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] SeanFloyd:
What does Go Launcher offer that Launcher ProPlus doesn't?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] bdroc:
the feature i like is being able to create collections within the app drawer and placing them on the homescreen, every time i update the app drawer folder, the one on my homescreen also updates...plus their app drawer is entirely different. check it out, its free

Has anyone tried ics launcher? I themed everything blue to match ics and installed ics launcher. It looks awesome and runs just a good as it looks. You can download it from here http://syndicateapps.com/main/ICS_Releases.html
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] cyberpyr8:
If you ever get iPhone envy try EspierLauncher. I have been running it the last few days. I no longer want an IOS device ever! It really does look like IOS on your phone. It is free and fun to play around with.

I use Go Launcher for my main launcher. I like the themes and how it has multiple tray screens like Launcher Pro. It also can be backed up and restored like LP. The theme support and quickness of it are why I stick with it. I think Go and LP are pretty similar.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Blars1206:
This is freaking sweet. Thanks for mentioning this!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] pault949:
Been using Go Launcher EX for a few weeks now and I have to say that it's better than anything else I've tried so far. I like the fact that it's extremely configurable and snappy.
[Nook Color General] Novarider:
I downloaded winimage and im following the root instructions and when I go to disk I can choose the sdcard but then there is nothing in the folder I extracted nooter to. The folder is empty. The instructions say to click on a drop down menu to show hidden files but I have no drop down. What gives?

When choosing file next to the file name field where it says Virtual Hard Disks (*.vhd) click there and instead choose All Files. Your .img should now show up and you should be good to go.

Hey SuperCurio! Thank you for this! Can you inject voodoo into the stock JK2 kernel please? It would be appreciated. :) I zipped up the zImage for you.

Hi, this kernel is too big to be a stock kernel ;)

Stock kernels are about 4.7MB

PS it seems I already saw this kernel before, with a complete libc as .so files in /
[Vibrant Android Development] Whitehawkx:
Oh snap :eek: I pulled it from TW's download page.

Edit: Oh yea... the modified init.rc... I fail...

Edit 2: Strange, I just pulled the stock JK2 kernel from the original .tar that got leaked and it was 7.5mb in size.
[Vibrant Android Development] rbirg:
I applied Voodoo to Nero beta 3, booted up and working as it should. Thanks :)

Edit: Vibrate is not working :(
[Vibrant Android Development] Whitehawkx:
Haptic feedback/Vibrate isn't working on stock JL1 so that might make sense. Need a JK2 or JK6 kernel.
[Vibrant Android Development] ginzberg:
I can confirm that the JL1+voodoo on Nero b3, haptic feedback is broken (not just on the gingerbread android keyboard, but system wide)
[Vibrant Android Development] rbirg:
Yeah, I remember reading about that.

Supercurio: I would suggest the JK6 kernel. I'm going to try and find it and upload it for you.

On another note; I just ran Quadrant and got 1499 for anyone interested.
[Vibrant Android Development] r0man:
So no vibration for texts or whatnot?
[Vibrant Android Development] rhcp011235:
Very nice. Running it now. Nice quad
[Vibrant Android Development] rbirg:
None at all.

On that note, supercurio, I PMed you a stock JK6 kernel.

Woahh, red recovery. Definitely wasn't expecting that haha
[Vibrant Android Development] ginzberg:
Correct. Just to be clear, as there seems to be some confusion. The stock JL1 build has working haptic feedback and vibration. Many reports that "vibration" wasn't working were in reference to the Android keyboard (2.3 based) included in TW's Nero builds.

In a terminal run "mount" as superuser and look for ext4 or RFS file system under system, data, dbdata and cache.

Ext4=voodoo

RFS=stock (disabled)

Dude, honestly the best thing you can do. (It was one of the best things I did) Is just un-install Quadrant.

Just go by how the phone feels and responds to you! Not some arbitrary number....
