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?
ADW EX is the BEST!
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
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.
Imo, ADWEx. Hands down. The customization is just very high and the 4D gingerbread-drawer style is most epicly epic
ADW EX rocks! Would love a scrolling dockbar on it though (like in launcher pro)

Is ADW EX worth buying? What is the battery / system performance?
if your main concern is battery/system performance get zeam. its free
Will try zeam then.
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

The customization options in ADW are way too awesome.. I never faced any issues with the battery as well .. Worth a buy..

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

Gingerbread launcher sucks ! All u get is the dock. No customisations nothing !

ADW or check em out yourself.
I think GoLauncher is the best. For me it looks way faster than ADW.
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.
I use *spark.
Launcher pro is my personal favourite. Swipe gesture actions with scrolling dock bar means 30 shortcuts on the dock alone. Invaluable.

You mean 15, right?
Is there a non launcher specific method of hiding the notification bar?
I was using ADW EX but with Jelette posting that Sony launcher I really like it's set up. I just don't want my notification bar.
I'm interested in this also

I tried looking around for this a while ago but no luck
Bah, I figured as much. There has to be a way if it can be done in ADW and launcher pro.
Hey there,
I really like the app screen of touch wiz because it is greatly customizable. However I would like to use Launcher Pro for other reasons. So I was wondering if I can launch the touch wiz app screen in launcher pro. I was trying add it by Launcher Pro activities, but I couldn't find the app screen there.
Anyone any ideas? I would be very thankful (Donation ;-))
Thanks

I think if you hit the menu key in the homescreen and go to add then to shortcuts you can add touchwiz launcher.. Give it a try

I would be greatly interested in this as well. Love the homescreen customization of launcher pro but the launcher of touchwiz is too great to pass up.
twlauncher is not available as a shortcut through launcher pro it seems, and besides it will just take me to the touchwiz homescreen I'm assuming.

Tried that before. Brings me to the launcher. However I just want the apps screen to be used within launcher pro.

So I guess there is no way to make that happen huh? Too bad that would have been just perfect.
I'm just wondering is there any home launcher that you can customize the app drawer view?
like I wish to see normal just like typical adw/touchwiz (icon + text).
or just plain icon.(which adw do).
Or just a list of app names? (just like metro UI?)
I know windows 7 launcher does this. But I don't want the tiles.
And those launchers all stuck at one style. Why they can't let us customize this!!!
File browsers give you option to view icon grid or list.
Does anyone know any launcher does this??
go launcher . launcher pro . 360 launcher miui launcher

Hey all,
When I run ADW Launcher EX, I try to add the "Favorite Contacts" widget to my homescreen. But it bugs out and the space remains blank. You can interact with it by pressing and holding down and you get the same drop down menu for altering it as any other ADW widget but that's it. And of course the invisible widget takes up space.
Any thoughts on how we might fix it? I'm not a fan of Blur generally but I do think it's a pretty cool widget and wouldn't mind having it with a more fluid launcher like ADW.
Thanks in advance
Same thing on launcher pro. Would also like to use it.

I had been told that widget only works in the stock launcher when I briefly tried another launcher and couldn't get it to work either. I don't know if that's true or not.
Thats true the blur widgets dont play nice with other launchers. A alternative is Android Pro Widgets in the market.
