Your favorite Launcher?

[northwestyew]

i use sweeterhome personally i think the abilty to customize and speed is top notch on it

and by customizing i mean every little thing

Personally I prefer Go. Similar to Launcher with scrolling dock and continuous screen scroll (Adw doesn't, which is only beef with that launcher). GO just seems to flow better. Great launcher. I'd be in to spb but just don't see 15 for minimum customization.

ADW EX has continuous screen scroll.

I'm an ADW EX fan myself. But I can honestly say I haven't given any of the others much time.

+1 for SPB. Also use Launcher Pro occasionally, switching back and forth, but SPB will impress your friends

I just checked SPB out and it impressed me enough to pay the $15 for it.

Simple, but looks really nice, has some decent widgets and features, shortcuts. Has most of the basics covered, even if it does not have nearly as much customization as ADW, LP and Go Launcher. However, you can tweak those other ones to the moon and still won't get them to look as nice as SPB.

One question, I see that when you create folders on a home page, it names it for you depending on what you drop into the folder. How do you rename it though? I have a folder full of Sound Boards, and yet it wants to name it Games and I have not figured out how to change it to what I want it to say.

Am I missing something?

I have Go Launcher EX, ADW EX and Crazy Home Pro. I like the Go Launcher EX and Crazy Home the best. Crazy Home supports majority of the themes that are used on ADW, etc but not Go Launcher. I like Go Launcher because I like some of the features on the home page when scrolling. I switch if I want a change but for the last few weeks I have been using Crazy Home.

Thanks to this thread, I decided to try out Launcher Pro and I love it

Features in particular that I like:

* homescreens rotate
* dock is totally configurable
* runs really snappy
* customizable transitions (e.g. I have the transition to the app drawer set to go quickly, but with a hint of style)

There's a million things to like about it and I'm only using the free version at this point.

Hate to say it but you picked the wrong launcher. Go Launcher Ex is vastly superior in every way, especially if you can drop 2-4 dollar on custom theme and golauncher sms. LauncherPro hasn't been updated in so damn long, lacks tons of features GoLauncher has, (including simple things like a good amount of custom icons), GOLauncher has better calendar widget, better contacts widget, much cleaner and crisper overall look, app drawer customization options (Sideways scroll,recent apps, running apps) and drains significantly less resources since the guy never did his "big re-write...." w/ launcherpro.

GoLauncher Ex might take a few more minutes to setup since each module is a separate DL but my goodness is it worth it, not to mention every feature you mentioned in LauncherPro - GO Launcher has, and the Go Dev team is still updating VERY REGULARLY where-as I haven't seen a significant LauncherPro update in months.

I recommend
Go Launcher Ex
Go SMS Pro
Go Launcher Ex Notifications
w/ Future Theme Go Launcher / GO SMS Future Theme.

Absolutely stunning.

Is there a free version of spb to try out?
I find it hard to purchase a 15$ app just off of screenshots.

I'm not a fan of Go Launcher for one simple reason - the way it makes folders in the drawer sucks. It's a pop-down that you have to scroll horizontally, which is very counterintuitive if you like your drawer to scroll vertically.

LauncherPro has no good folder/category management in the drawer.

ADW EX has the ability to group by categories, but you can't ever get rid of the "ALL" category, which is weird to exclude that feature when it's available in the version that comes in CM7.

Trying VTL launcher next to see if that does the trick.
