I am not satisfy with Android home and HTC sense UI. I use Helix Launcher it really great, it has greater view of icons. And it even support landscape view.. very cool . But on my rom it sometimes shows FC .
So, kindly suggest me best Launcher with landscape support.
Thanking you in anticipation.

A very good launcher is ADW.Launcher, search for it on the market!
Here is how it looks:

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Yep, ADW.launcher -> the best!
Great animation and many display options... Only thing is apps list seems a bit squeezed

You can change that in the options. First thing I did..
Launcher Pro is very simular to Helix,and it work great.
I'm pleased with GDE. I used almost all the launchers, but this one suits me most.

Yesterday installed ADW.Launcher, GDE sucks Also, GDE 0.4.0.9 is a bit buggy, all the widgets may disappear for unknown reason.
I vote for launcher pro.. It's better than ADW launcher.
Best launcher is Go launcher ex
Best launcher is Go launcher ex very smooth screen scrolling thou the app drawer sux a lil

launcher 7 is a nice new interface
Check out Launcher Pro
consider launcher pro as your launcher
Launcher Pro is the best!
Launcher pro!

Go launcher EX is the best for me.
The best thing you can do is to try them...the bests are : go launcher ex, launcher pro, adw ex, launcher 7. Try them all and choose your preferite...everybody advise a different laucher =) I've done this and I've chosen launcher pro...

Okay, I now have 2.2 thanks to one dedicated employee in the mobile phone area at Best Buy.
We downloaded the official 2.2 for AT&T, renamed it, put it on the SD card and ran the recovery so it overwrote 1.6. Which turns out is exactly what some of the threads here described, I just didn't want to do it myself and risk losing the phone.
Love having Flash and I'm sure I'll find other stuff I like, but I have to admit that I detest the main screen and how it works.
Can anybody suggest a good alternative?
How do I at least lose the "Social" page?
Edit: sorry about not marking as a question. I posted then remembered.
do you mean dell stage if so just get home switcher for froyo and try adw launcher, launcher pro, go launcher, launcher 7 they can all be found in the market then customize and pick the one you like best i use adw and launcher pro

I installed Launcher Pro and love it. Very customizable . Give it a try. Theres a free version in the Android App catalog
I believe that the 'social page' is a stage widget. Press and hold and then drag it to the trashcan that appears.
As others have said there are alternative launchers. I like LauncherPro and another is ADW Launcher. Go Launcher is becoming popular.
One of the best things I like about a replacement launcher (at least some of them) is that you can make better use of the screen size on the Streak, I have my icon grid set to 6x6. The agenda widget in the screenshot below is a 4x4 widget that would fill the entire home screen on a smaller phone.

That's Android Agenda Widget (paid version) BTW.
Edit: Once you are sure that you aren't going to use Stage delete all of the widgets from the screens there. You can DL home switcher for froyo to easily switch between home apps. Here is some info on setting default apps if you don't want to use a home switcher.

Like the tittle says which launcher do you use?

Ill start!
I use the honeycomb launcher beta
Because it is so simple and easy to use but since its in beta phase it doesnt respond quite well but other than that I love it and it fits my need of honeycomb and it fits cyanocomb ;-)

i use the stock sony ericsson one no matter what dicks they are i still like their launcher with the 4 corners but i use the updated version
LauncherPro, quick, looks good and have all features, that I need
LauncherPro, the fastest there is. ADW is okay, but it is slow compared to launcherpro, and 4 corners, ha, seriously? If you have a lot of apps, your thumb will get strong scrolling through the app deck xD

Zeam Launcher: Fastest and suits me!
Heres the screenshot
ADW Launcher EX is very useful, beautifull and speed.
Large configuration possibilities.
Go launcher,easy,fast,cool.
Where can I find "Go launcher ex" (or is it "Go Launcher")? I am running MiniCM6-1.0.2 on my phone.
Edit:
Found it on the market. Should have searched there first
ADW Launcher EX. Best homescreen replacement app you'll ever come across.
Zeam Launcher... it said that it can save battery... Will try ADW Launcher
I also use Go Launcher, It is really quick and customisable but it does have a really annoying quirk of getting all messed up with changing from landscape to portrait or vice-versa. Only happens occassionally but is quite annoying!
I'm the only one around here that uses gingerbread launcher
Reasons:
- I LOVE GINGERBREAD!!!

Thats AWESOME D4!
That is another reason why froyocomb is the best rom for the mini pro!
Don't get me wrong, I do like the Motoblur on my photon, but wanted to find a simple plain gingerbread launcher with the same number of homescreens and good amount of widgets. I tried Go Launcher EX, it's okay but any other suggestions?
Thanks
Most obvious answer would be to try launcher pro. Txlauncher is good too.
+1 on Lancher Pro especially the 3D app drawer in advance settings.
I'm a convert from LauncherPro to Go Launcher EX. The Go team is really quite active, and I like both the features and performance.

ADW can be modify in to a gingerbread launcher and the 3d drawer is great because it stays at your last locate when you search though all the apps on the phone.
Let me know of you need a screen shot.

I vote for Zeam. I have tried a couple of others including go & find Zeam simple small & customizable. Developer is responsive too.

I did this and stayed with GLEX simply due to the more themes selection.
Only if LP had all the options GLEX has I think LP would be better..

Go Launcher EX or view in market gingerbread launcher, original launcher faster and simple
I would have to recommend launcher pro, I tried GLEX for a few weeks but its very laggy for some reason.... I even factory reset my phone to make sure it wasn't another app conflicting and same results... it was very noticeable when going from another app to the home screen. Other than that GLEX has tons of potential, better themes and more customizable but I believe launcher pro is more reliable.
For sheer simplicity, maybe try Netfront Life Screen.
i use launcher pro. highly customizable.
I personally love Zeam launcher. I find the scrollable bottom dock essential.
I went from go launcher to adw launcher, now on Zeam.
Zeam is my favorite by far. It is the most light-weight, and has all the features I want and none of the ones I don't care about.
Hope this hasn't already been asked, I searched and found nothing.
After installing HC on my View, I installed ADW launcher as I like it more then stock sense but I lose pretty much all the good stuff at the top like the google search etc, anyone know a way to get all that back while keeping ADW going?
I enclosed a screenshot of what it looks like currently.

Nobody else is using HC+ADW launcher on their View and missing the google search bar up there??
???
just put the google search widget on the screen.
Kinda sucks to have to use up screen space for the widget when the bar at the top has it built in, well, when your not using ADW launcher
Well yes, but its part of the HTC sense launcher, so not available on other launchers. At least ADW lets you resize it.
Ah ok, that makes sense then (no pun intended)
I was under the impression that the stuff at the top was part of HC not sense, thanks for the clarification.
That stuff is a part of honeycomb's launcher, and thus is a part of sense's launcher. I tried to use ADW Ex myself on the stock rom... Found it laggy and annoying that widgets didn't resize properly when autorotate was on. Switched to the desensed view rom and the stock launcher and I am much happier.
Only thing I miss from ADW is that some widgets are not scrollable, and there's not as much flexibility with screen real estate because you can't edit the grid size. Of course that's why it had problems rotating so it's a fair trade imo.

Not a fan of ADW on the Flyer. Can't get the widgets centered nor resized like I want to.

Yea the grid control is one of the things I really love about ADW and I just hate all the overhead of sense, gonna try the de-sensed rom today with the stock launcher and see how that looks/feels, thanks!
heya guys, what's the best launcher for this phone? i am using GoLauncher at the moment but its a little laggy and i can see bugs about the widgets on home screen when on landscape mode.
are there launchers that's greater than GoLauncher and can also hide icons on the App Drawer?
I use Nova Launcher Prime.
Using Apex Launcher here. Works the best for me, but may not work for you.
Try each different one to get a feel of which works best for you

Same here mate...
I've emailed the go team though to let them know about this...
I'll keep using it with desktop effect cylinder and app drawer effect chord which seem very smooth...try it!
Before that i've been using Apex latest beta(go in about Apex,check for updates,beta) because it's jellybean based and quite more smooth than the stable one...
When I'm on stock ROM I use stock launcher and quite happy with it.
On custom ROM's I use Apex, it feels snappier than Go.
Stuff from the GO Team are, and always have been, an overhyped embarrassment.
I used to use LauncherPro, but since its discontinued and is out of Dev for over a year I started using Go Launcher EX and it works like a charm for me.
I'm using mod touchwiz ux...i'm not a fan of widgets and icons, i only have 1 page with beautiful widget and the search bar...

Never new there was a best launcher, but my favourite is sslauncher. Can't use anything else. And it also allows you to hide apps.

I must be getting old, I am happy to live with Touchwiz.
i tried the Apex launcher pro just now, its a bit laggy like go launcher and does not have hide apps in the drawer. i got about 50 apps and i put them on 5 pages of the homescreen so i wanted to hide all those already in the homescreen.
btw thanks to all of your replies guys, ill try all your recommendations :good:
touchwiz nature ux is good but can be better.
so they have to optimize it.
downloaded nova launcher prime and gotta try it now
well, atm i'm using the CM10 stock one.. (something like 'Trebuchet Launcher')
But idk.. there is no 'best launcher', u must choose the best one for you ^-^ take a look at holo launcher hd! its very smooth/liquid.. it doesnt support themes, but you can use icon packs ^-^ good luck
Btw: the stock icon pack is Jelly Bean one!
ADW for me
I used nova from day one and it was just ok. Lately I switched to Tsf Shell and it is by far the best launcher I have ever used. It is lightning fast and haven't had any restarts yet, so I say it is a keeper.
Of course it is in beta phase yet so there are some cons.
Too expensive.
Still in Beta phase.
The support from the devs does not exist. They never reply to mails.
nova prime. used it on my rooted Desire HD & Sensation.
