Hi,

I have been using ADW Launcher for my SG 3 on Froyo. But is this the best launcher app available? How does it compare with the Launcher Pro as well as the stock Android Launcher?

Also, can i uninstall my stock android launcher using Titanium backup?
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] Szaby59:
ADW EX is the BEST!
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] stubborn_d0nkey:
it all depends on what you want from a launcher, everybody is different.

try:

zeam launcher (free-lightweight)

go launcher (free-has some useful things i havent see in other launchers)

helix launcher

launcher pro (free and paid version)

live home

...

and decide

for me personally its between zeam and go

edit: fixed helio to helix
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] overclockxp:
I like both ADW EX and Go Launcher EX. My number one thing is horizontal scrolling in the app drawer. Vertical scrolling is a joke and completely useless.
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] Thom47:
Imo, ADWEx. Hands down. The customization is just very high and the 4D gingerbread-drawer style is most epicly epic :)
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] Rapier07:
ADW EX rocks! Would love a scrolling dockbar on it though ;) (like in launcher pro)
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] shuvabrata:
Is ADW EX worth buying? What is the battery / system performance?
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] stubborn_d0nkey:
if your main concern is battery/system performance get zeam. its free
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] shuvabrata:
Will try zeam then.
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] peldax:
There are

Launcher pro

Zeam

Go launcher

Adw launcher

Live home

aHome

Gigerbread launcher

Helium launcher(I don't know this one. I just saw something in previous post)

I am using adw. But there are no big diferences between launchers. Everithing is better than stock one. If I should say what's best:

1. Adw launcher and go launcher.

2. Zeam and launcher pro.

3. Others
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] stubborn_d0nkey:
spark is also something to look out for in the future, its kinda new and on version one.
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] Rapier07:
The customization options in ADW are way too awesome.. I never faced any issues with the battery as well ;) .. Worth a buy..
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] disconsolate:
MY advice is Adw launcher or Gigerbread launcher. I'm using ADWLauncher, but if you google the different launchers, you can see what's works best for you as an individual! :) everyone has different looks i.e. pros and cons
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] Rapier07:
Gingerbread launcher sucks ! All u get is the dock. No customisations nothing !
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] Bobbydigital86:
ADW or check em out yourself.
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] zajca:
I think GoLauncher is the best. For me it looks way faster than ADW.
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] wilfmoralee:
Deffo LauncherPro for me, quickest out of the lot, and the dock customisation with swipe gesture gives you many more options for quick launch compared to other launchers.

But as everybody says try a few before you buy, as everybody individual.
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] sphackr:
I use *spark.
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] shr33kant:
Launcher pro is my personal favourite. Swipe gesture actions with scrolling dock bar means 30 shortcuts on the dock alone. Invaluable.
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] szewc1:
You mean 15, right?
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] Criminal23:
I use Zeam.

ADW Launcher looks a little bit better, but it drains battery, ...
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] rogue93:
launcher pro is the best. doesnt lagg at all and also it doesnt comsume that much battery.
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] ecooce:
LP used to be my fav,but now its zeam... LP is still the best,but zeam looks promising for the future,so thats what Im using/testing.
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] shr33kant:
No, 15 normal dock items and a swipe action for each shortcut. So 30 in total.
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] szewc1:
Didn't know that, thanks!
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] strayng3r:
Adw ex ftw !!
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] quizzmaster:
I think Launcher Pro is the best. :) I'm unsig it and I'm very happy with the launcher
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] santhosh5639:
does adw launcher is paid application...???
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] rishabh9:
^ADW has a paid version too.

I was initially using ADW Launcher, but faced some issues, usually forced closures, so I then moved onto zeam, and am very satisfied with it.

Give all launchers a try and stick with the one that satisfies you! Easy? :D

[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] dxdiag32:
a app named LauncherPro plus is good
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] Y0RGI:
Launcher Pro is nice but there isn't horizontial drawer which I like :P

So I use ADW Launcher (I was used EX version too) and i want to say it's the best app!
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] :
In my opinion Launcher Pro is very good as it allows you to modify so much stuff.. try it out and see...
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] mmiksu:
I have tested Launcherpro, Helix Launcher, Gingerbread Launcher, Launcherpro Plus, ADW Launcher, ADW Launcher Ex, PandaHome, Zeam, Spark, Go Launcher Ex, Arc...

There must be many more, which i have tried, I don't even remember them all ! :D

Launcher Pro Plus... Very fast, cool widgets, very highly customizable. I don't like vertically scrolling app drawer, LP+ doesn't have horisontally scrolling version, yet. For me LP also force closes too often, don't know if you guys have some problem... There's also free version on market, it doesn't have all options, which Plus has. (Own widgets, widget resizing, something more...) LP's scrolling dock with swipe gestures is very useful. LP+ has a new feature, themes that's cool. :)

ADW Launcher EX, it's also fast and it's even more customizable than LP+ ! It doesn't have own widgets. It does have horisontally scrolling app drawer, which I really like. It also has Gingerbread launcher's 4D app drawer. ADW doesn't fc that much for me. ADW has themes too,which can be dloaded from market. ADW launcher has a free version in market, worth a try !

Gingerbread Launcher, it's not customizable at all, I don't mind customizing that much. I prefer performance. In our little SG3 Gingerbread Launcher is slow, it looks good, but that's all. Doesn't have any unique features.

Zeam is very tiny, which means it's very fast, maybe fastest launcher in market ! I really like it's look, that dock icon's reflection is cool. Zeam doesn't have horisontally moving app drawer, correct me if i'm wrong. :p It is also fully free. I recommend Zeam launcher, becouse it's fast !

Go Launcher EX, newest launcher in market, I think... It has new updates very fast, so Go Dev Team developes it very much. I used it for a week, but then it gave me an error and it wouldn't start anymore :eek: So I uninstalled it.. Go launcher has own widgets, they can be dloaded from market. They're same as LP+ and there's even some more. Go launcher supports themes, which is cool and it has widget resizing feature. You can have as many homescreens as you want, I haven't found a limit ! Once I tried how much there can be, but after there were 30+ or something, I gave up. :D Go Launcher is fully free !

Personally I use TW3 launcher, becouse it has been the fastest and stablest for me. It doesn't force close, it has that horisontally moving app drawer which I prefer. :p I think that TW uses processor the best, becouse it's integrated to this phone... It's also fun to make themes with computer, it just isn't so easy :D

Oups, pretty long post.. If somebody really readed this all, thanks and byebye :cool:

[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] TheCreat:
I've used TouchWiz (obviously...), Go Launcher EX, Launcher Pro (short time only) and lately Zeam Launcher.

I started to look at other launcher than TouchWiz as the stock-2.2-provided version has some annoying issues. Most notably it 'forgets' all apps placed on it which have been moved to the sd card if the sd card is removed (including boot).

I then found Go Launcher EX and was just amazed and happy with it. It can be customized in pretty much every way, can look extremely pretty or just relatively simple. I only didn't like that the menu has gotten rather cluttered lately (meanung: pressing the menu key on any homescreen). Most importantly: 'Settings' is no longer the bottom rightmost icon, which irritates me ^^

While tryout out some ROMs I happened to use Launcher Pro, since Go Launcher EX isn't included in all ROMs (yet? too new I guess). From what I can tell Go Launcher EX is an enhanced clone of Launcher Pro. Haven't seen anything Pro can do that Go can't, but Go can do lots of stuff Pro can't. So I installed Go again after a day or so. There are also some very nice dock skins/background available. I suppose they probably work with Go (and possibly others) as well, haven't tried though.

Most recently I tried a ROM that had Zeam Launcher included. I'd never heard of it and tried it, haven't used another launcher since. It has the most important feature(s) for me - most notably scrollable dock and home screen gestures (swipe up to open phone for example) - while being extremely lightweight and uses at most half the amount of RAM Go or Pro use.

What I do miss dearly is that in the "add widget" menu multiple widgets from the same source are not combined into one entry like they are with Go. So back to having 12 entries of "Widgetsoid" instead of one.

Hope this helps ;)

LauncherPro Plus

No doubt LauncherPro Plus ... i am in love with the htc sense like widgets (twitter faecbook, calander contacts ... etc.,) and with custom htc dockbar and agileLock on top of it, my phone now just looks like an HTC sense mobile... LPP rocks..
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] varunrocks17:

yes ADW EX is best

I also really like golauncher which i have used for the longest since i got my phone and my friend introduced me to it.
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] satyamsit:
for me adw launcher EX is the smoothest on my device. With its 'vertical new' scrolling option it was never been so smoother. :-)
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] Thugnificent1:
Launcher pro is the best IMO. I've tried GO launcher, ADW launcher, Zeam launcher, Regina 3d launcher

Launcher pro is the fastest (next to zeam) and the lightest on the resources. Also its got some neat features.
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] RoboD7:
I confirm that :) It is my best launcher.
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] Xenous:
For me the order would be

Zeam -> Launcher Pro -> Go Launcher

Zeam:- It has been updated for ICS, if you find it slow just enable the option to Manage wallpaper internally - occupies around 11-12 Mb of space- Simplistic launcher

Launcher Pro (Free version) :- It has not been updated for long time but should work well with Gingerbread, has more customizations than Zeam but those customizations might slow down your system- without customization it occupies around 12 mb of space

Go Launcher : Well this is a very popular launcher -supports ICS - has its own task killer - Highly customizable - occupies around 15 -21mb of memory as a foreground process.

[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] skoobz:
I have used go launcher for quite some time. They're good at updating, to a point where it's almost irksome, but at least they are, right? I had it on my all my family's android devices.

Since the stock ics launcher looks good, why bother? I've took it off, and the only launcher I use now is on my EVOLTE, because Sense 4 is still ugly and still bloated. Like others posted here, I have ZEAM launcher, it's very light, I don't need all the other fancy stuff people seem to enjoy.

[HD Mini Android Development] Cotulla:
Android / Linux port for PHOTON

Introduction:

HTC Photon looks very similar to HTC Liberty. It's not only external look, as well they are very similar.

My goals was to determine how fast it can be binged up on HTC PHOTON.

Actually they much more changes, that it looks at first view.

PHOTON doesn't have digital compass, while LIBERTY have it.

As well LIBERTY have optical trackball, PHOTON doesn't.

Notes about future development:

All GPIOs looks same in PHOTON & LIBERTY.

Only 192Mb RAM used for now. Additional RAM can be activated.

Battery driver doesn't work, heave difference between PHOTON & LIBERTY.

GSensor doesn't work, looks like it's problem of userspace android library.

Calls are working, data (GPRS) - not. It maybe big problem to implement DATA connection.

WLAN also not working somehow.

Buttons are working, but they need proper align. (buttons are part of touchscreen).

Status:

http://htc-linux.org/wiki/index.php?title=PhotonStatus

"Unknown" means not tested. I had not enough time to test it well.

I didn't test anything really. Only just looks for "yes" / "no", no deep testing because not enough time.

Files to download:

for developers:

KERNEL + HARET sources.

Note this HARET only compatible with HTC PHOTON.

http://cotulla.pp.ru/photon/Cotulla_PHOTON_AD_Devs.rar

for users:

ANDROID which runs from SD card, without removing Windows Mobile.

Copy files to root of SD card and run "HARET_PHOTON7227.exe"

http://cotulla.pp.ru/photon/Cotulla_PHOTON_AD_Users.rar

NOTE about files. I will delete this files tomorrow or after tomorrow.

Please reupload them to different file share hostings. Otherwise it will cause too big traffic to my site. Sorry for that.

This software is free, but not open source.

DISCONTINUED:

I won't continue developing of Android/Linux for PHOTON. Why?

*Main goals of this project are passed. All stuffs was ported in about 5 days.

*I have not much free time to develop android for another device. (I am supporting several devices, they take a lot of time)

*It's rather useless? You can sold PHOTON and buy LIBERTY. With native android inside. With compass inside. With trackball inside. With same size and design like PHOTON.

*And main reason: My father's phone is broken. I will give him PHOTON :) So I won't have PHOTON device anymore. And can't develop for it.

*I hope you appreciate all this :)

Anyway goodluck in developing, a lot of work already done (the hardest part however...) ;)

-Cotulla
[HD Mini Android Development] NetRipper:
Awesome job you did there Cotulla. I don't own a Photon myself but have been trying to help the guys in another thread with some hints to try and get HaRET working. It's unfortunate you can't continue development. But with your work maybe some other developers that have the Photon can make it fully functional. :)

[HD Mini Android Development] Silver1987:
hm i tested it too and android working :) ..but i have a few questions...hm could it be that our (or my european device from germany) mini ist not fully working with ARIA rom? maybe we need Gratia rom ? im asking that because ehen i started booting first time i could only chose betwen 3 languages (and german or other European languages are not there). and the second thing is that it didnt find my SD-Card .. and i heard that aria only accept specific SD Cards`? is that right?

or is it possible to replace this aria(liberty) rom to an gratia rom? because we now have working haretfix `? thanks for the attention :) greetz silver :) sorry for my english :D
[HD Mini Android Development] schlund:
first off all:

THIS IS NOT A WORKING ANDROID!

please read first post for details.

haret does not give us the possibility to run complete "ROMS". we have to build kernels and android on our own. and as i can see there is no special gratia source on htc developers site, so i think there is no difference in hardware.

it doesn't have sense right now,this project has only haret working 100%,Android is like 50% ready maybe,there are drivers and other things which needs to be ported..

anyway thanks for all your work so far mate and I hope you all will succeed :)
