does anyone have an idea how to replace the ADWLauncher with the new one thats really awesome the spd 3d one everytime i try to load it manually and set it as default the stock adwl overwrites it and pops back up few minutes later, i even removed the ADWLauncher with root uninstall and then i had no access to settings on the phone and later on wouldnt start so i had to reflash it, if anyone could help would be nice
hrm
all i need to know is how to replace the ADWLauncher on Cyanogen 7mod on the Defy, with something else without damaging the settings and phone...
Delete adw from system/app with root explorer or freeze it with titanium backup

The truth that this is secondary, for now. All you need now is to cyanogen for all functions at 100%. I do not ask more than that, if sis isis
All I did was just install Launcher Pro Plus and it replaced ADW. Everything works smoothly now.

launcherpro is way better than ADW..
if launcherpro have grouping feature just like LG launcher,
and have change-icon feature.
it would be the best ever.
Currently in use Launcher Pro
I'm using Launcher 7 with cm7 without any problems
greetings
I'm using launcher pro since my old galaxy lite with 1.6.
Just flashed to 2.3.3 and I was hoping to use the default google home.
Does anyone knows why it's not included in CM?

CM has used ADW Launcher for ages now. It was back in CM5 (IIRC) and the general consensus from the users was that they preferred ADW over stock, and thus ADW became default.
Personally, I like ADW.
Launcher Pro the free one is better than ADW, but ADW launcher EX is better than Launcher. Personally , I like ADW more than Launcher Pro.
I use launcher pro since 2.1 stock rom and with CM7, it is just perfect for me, smooth, very easy to custom
I'm using Launcher Pro since ever.
It's the best Launcher available and it really runs smooth

OK guys and galz could you do me an oh so large favor of telling or sharing your luck with any working, cool, awesome launchers to replace factory. Such as the launcher you see in this vid (WOULD LOVE TO KNOW THE NAME) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WJh2doIbeg&feature=related

That is ADW EX launcher and works fine on any 2.1 or higher build for Streak.

try adw, launcher pro, go launcher, and get home switcher for froyo so you can switch back and forth! Hope that helps some
I personally have been using Launcher Pro Plus on my Nexus and the Streak for a long time. I actually really like the Sense widgets, I know a lot of people don't like Sense. I love the customizations available in the alternative launchers. I'm sure you will find one that suits your needs.

Ok i was using ADW which seemed quite nice....then i just gave Launcher Pro a go a few minutes ago, immediately paid for plus and now sticking with it.
I'm running 1.9.1 and with Launcher Pro the general interface is lightning quick and has all the widgets i've been hunting for built in and more stable than the alternatives i'd been putting up with
I'm still using Zeam, and still love it!
I was using launcher Pro for a very long time, but then I tried out go launcher and I much prefer go launcher.
I tried launcher 7 its ok but just not for me
+1 for Zeam launcher, still the best.
Switched to GO Launcher
I too was using ADW Launcher EX but it was hanging up no matter what I did, even after fresh flashes so I decided to try GO Launcher and I really like it so far...
One of the things I like the most is the three App Drawer Modes.
Although I wish it did have the set of customization that ADW offers, that would be the only reason I would go back to ADW is the amount of personalization it offers.
Heard a lot about ZEAM but haven't tried yet, may have to give it a whirl

Same here. Read that it was a small and speedy launcher so I installed that when I went 1.9.0. No complaints.
I've tried a whole bunch. Right now I'm using the latest Go Launcher EX (2.21)
Ones I've used:
Regina
SPB Shell 3D
Launcher Pro Plus
ADW EX
Dell Stage
Claystone
Launcher 7
VTL.Launcher
Zeam
It's all down to personal preference. Big and flashy? Go with SPB. One you can make do anything, basically? ADW, Go, LPP are all good choices. VTL is just a port of Launcher Pro (I think?) but it functions well if you use the phone in landscape mode. Just try the free versions to see if you like it, the paid versions usually only have a couple more tricks up their sleeves.
I use VTL.Laucnher because it optimize for landscape mode. I have SPB3D too,use it only when I play with portrait mode.
I have been using the vtl for a while a I like it a lot
I'm using adw ex paid or whatever and it works perfect for me. I find that the speed correlates to how heavy your widgets are (obviously). I might try go launcher as I've heard good things about it. Launcher Pro Plus is quite nice as well. Their facebook widget is the only thing I wish I could have taken with me to adw.
Question: When you or anyone used SPB Mobile Shell 3D, did it work well in landscape? what were your pros & cons? I'm currently using Go Launcher and love it. Just curious..

I just loaded up Go yesterday and immediately liked it enough to uninstall Stage.
I also use something called Smart Taskbar.
I am using VTL and enjoy all the docks, left, right and bottom, actually the bottom is enough for me as it has a lot of space in lanscape mode. This launcher is made for lanscape mode.
It is a take off drom ADW.

Title says it all.
I have tried launcher pro and AWD. AWD was laggy for me so I uninstalled it. I didn't give it a chance. What is your favourite launcher?
I would go with Launcher Pro, doesn't lag at all for me
I had used ADW for a while, and didn't have too much trouble. But today I just switched to LauncherPro and I'm loving it. I like the window animations in the free version, I LOVE the dock customization and icons and such. I agree that it seems to be really snappy and doesn't lag and such either. It's a little harder to customize icons on the home screen, as you have to delete the current one and add a new custom one and change the icon while adding it and such. But overall, there isn't really anything ADW can do that LP can't!
Launcher EX is pretty awesome... and its free. check it out

thats what iam using as well. works fine!
I use ADW as my "main", but also have Android Seven pro, Go Launcher EX, HeLauncher, LauncherPro, Regina Launcher, and SPB Shell 3D on my phone.
I haven't had time to try them all out fully, and that is why I have so many............so that I can experiment and see which one or two I really like, then set them up how I want them. I have been using ADW EX for a while, and really like it. I haven't experienced lag, but I will say that Go Launcher and LauncherPro do seem a wee bit smoother from the minimal time I have spent "playing" with them.
My plan is to have one main launcher for my every day use, then maybe one or two more for specific times. Maybe a launcher set up solely for multimedia, one set up solely for business, etc. That's what I love about Android since I jumped off the iPhone ship..........the possibilities really are endless!
I use both Go Launcher EX and the paid Launcher Pro. Personally I find myself using Launcher Pro the vast majority of the time. Go Launcher had some cool options, and changing docks and icons were a bit easier, but Launcher Pro has some nice built in widgets that tip the scale in its favor for me.
I really don't like the MotoBlur Calendar and Facebook widgets, and none of the 3rd party ones really gave me what I was looking for. But the ones that come with Launcher Pro are just what I was looking for, and they are easily skinned as well. Plus Launcher Pro runs very smoothly, much better than Blur.
-Doogs™
I have the paid versions for both ADW and LauncherPro, but I run GO Launcher EX.
SPB SHELL 3D
At least the best eye candy by far. And the folder widgets are amazing. Though if live wallpapers and landscape mode are important for you, stay away.

MotoBlur launcher o/
Been using ADW Ex for almost a year, first on my Milestone, now on Atrix. It's fast, light and customizable as well. I recommend it 100%
I've been using Go Launcher Ex. I like it more than launcher pro. I will definitaley try ADW.
MotoBlur launcher is the best, by far.
Nah, I'm just trollin' ya. I haven't found a launcher that I liked. LauncherPro lagged for me somewhat, and it didn't offer some features that I wanted. Doesn't the launcher lay on top of blur already, laying on top of android stock? (or modified to use more system resources)

I have now tried Launcher Pro, ADW, and Go Launcher. None of them are near as fast as stock launcher (not motoblur, I'm using gingerblur). I really like the features that the launchers offer but I wish they were just as smooth as stock.

Err, Moto IS your stock launcher!
And GingerBlur is NOT a launcher, it's a P-ROM/THEME!
on the stock gingerblur launcher though, don't you notice slight stuttering when compared to launcher pro or other 3rd party launchers?

chargeable as on market...
I am using adw ex and it s very smooth. But i think that launcherpro is the fastest and cleaner launcher
ale_bot from xda app
I use Go Launcher but Launcher Pro is good too...
Not sure which one is fastest and it depends what widgets you have etc.
ks Launcher. very basic and very fast
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.kugoweb.launcher.froyo&hl=en
ive tried several different launchers but i keep going back to launcher pro. for me atleast it feels smoother/faster than any other launcher ive tried.
even make a check on windows phone 7 launcher...smooth and elegant....and a unique UI...
You may go for either of the two
1. Launcher Pro Plus
2. Zeam
Both are fantastic.
on my handy,
adw is much more stable than launcher pro
Launcher pro (plus if you want widget but you can use android pro widget too) is for me the best every 3d effect are just smooth and fantastic 3d app drawer doesn't have any lag.

If you are really into customizing your homescreen launcher pro plus and adw ex are the best.Regina is a little slow though
The plus version of launcher pro gives some.pretty cool Widgets, well worth the money
Xperia Arc Launcher is supppper nice and fast!
available in Market
I'm using Launcher7 now, really cool UI, but I used GO Launcher EX before that, it performed much smoother than Launcher Pro for me.
I always seem to come back to LauncherPro.. All the others i've tried just don't do it for me.
Can someone let me know that go launcher ex (more ram uses) and android widgets eats battery.
I prefer LauncherPro.
Rocket Luncher is a good alternative .
I am really happy with Sony Ericsson home launcher. It's beautiful and fast.

I like go Launcher or ADW Launcher. Both are good but used go Launcher the most and enjoyed it the best along with goSMS
If you want to be fast, go launcherpro or adwlauncher. However, there's a popular launcher emerging called golauncher. Its heavily customizable and you can make it look exactly how you want. You should check it out for yourself.

I'd say ADW launcher. It is my favourite of all time right now. But I must ask what is Trancent Launcher? I tried searching for it but I didnt find it.
I say adw launcher ex too. It's fast and well customizable.
But...btw CyanogenMod doesn't have adw as stock launcher?
yeah it does
i am running cm7 on my phone
i just wanted to know
because my cm7 is starting to lag a little.
like it takes aa few second to get past the lock screen
and i though it might be launcher oriented
Zeam launcher or launcher pro. I prefer zeam
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
I like ADW Launcher EX in combination with ADW notifier as it is fast and highly customizable.
But the best advice I can give is to try all the free versions of launchers and see which one works best for your device.
Since my Update from my Xperia S i think GO Launcher EX is slow down more and more...
On My Xperia Mini Pro is also the same thing...
Now my Question is which Launcher is faster and has almost the same functional things like Go Launcher EX?
Apex? Nova?
I've had exactly the same lag. I first noticed it when I had my x10 mini pro so I went back to stock and since I got the XS I got go launcher again and after a couple of days of running fine, it started lagging again.
In regards to your question, I don't know about apex or nova because I'm still on GB, but Holo launcher is very smooth and has a great UI but only downside is that it doesn't have the customization of Go launcher and neither does any others that I've seen.

I had all kinds of issues the last time I used Go Launcher. I really like Apex launcher over Nova. Also ADW launcher was always a good choice before ICS. Not sure what you are running on your phone.
ADW is a very good alternative which has almost all the customizations as Go Launcher Ex.
If you don't care about App Drawer and custom grid size, you can try MI Home Launcher. The launcher from MIUI custom ROM recently made it the Google Play Store. It's fast and has many themes that you can use.
