For you which best launcher for the XT720?
I liked the Sony's Arc Launcher
But currently the best for me is the ADW launcher.
The Go Launcher is great, but in my XT720 always gave problem and restart the cellphone.
I prefer Zeam Launcher. Although it doesn't support scrollable widgets, it is fast, lightweight and stable.

Hi
I think the go launcher would be a good choice

Have tried many, nothing but launcher pro does it for me
I use ADWex bc that is what I used from the start, but I have a LPP backup bc I once got in a home loop and it sucked-big-time. Had to restored via TB in between loops. When I say it sucked, believe me, I'm not lying.
Launcher Pro Plus for sure. Aldo ADW and Go are pretty good too. Depends on personal preference I guess.

LPP is good but you need to purchase Plus version to use Widgets.
Go Launcher EX is the best and it is totally free. with widgets more than LPP. And also totally customizable.
i'm too using GO Launcher EX, very smooth and fast, lots of good FREE themes to choose from
I like try new launchers I'm now useing nemus launcher low memery use fast and the best thing its free.

good suggestion
i didn't even know that thing existed
i though they only made the IM chat software
I'm using Launcher pro for a while but, trying Go Launcher ex now.. it looks great and potential to my next default launcher
My favourite Go Launcher
just trying go launcher and here's my thought:
Go Launcher EX eats much more ram than launcher pro... 24 mb compare to launcher pro only 13 I think. what a pity since Go launcher has a lot of themes and customization, but no option to lower the ram comsumption.
Can we tweak Go launcher to use less ram?
Go Launcher Notification seems to be a good feature at first.. but after lot of FCs and a reboot, I realize that it takes 23-24mb to operate... so i needto turn it off.
so... maybe I go back to LP soon..
QQLauncher? It looks nice and I'll try it next
hmm... is there a way to use GO Calendar Widget with other launchers ?

Hi people! What's in your opinion best home replacement app for Wildfire? Except LauncherPro (it is smooth and fast but got old :/). Thanks.

Although most will say Launcher Pro, I personally am a fan of ADW more than that. And, I bought EX a few weeks back, and, its far more amazing.
Other alternatives are GO Launcher, Zeam, and the upcoming SPB Shell (Although I dont know whether it will work on the WIldfire or not)
@3xeno I got ADW EX. Thanks man, it's awesome! I used ADW free version too but the EX version is WAY more customizable. Again, thanks!
No issues. Enjoy.
I change launchers like my underwear, just to keep the experiences a little different and also because some go better with certain themes.
Right now I have GO Launcher because I like the themes, the classic them goes well with the UI look I'm after. Maybe later I'll restore my Launcher Pro or the launcher from Sony Ericsson because that had a nice glassy look too.
ADW isn't bad either but I can't buy the themes I would want to I don't bother.
I tried Panda Home too and it wasn't all that bad either.
So for looks, I'd say GO Launcher. For functionality and customisability I would say LauncherPro or ADW.
I like Zeam best, it's really fast! I've still got launcherpro plus though and occasional use it because of the cool widgets it has.
I recently tried Launcher 7, a Windows phone 7 looking launcher. It had some great animations which ran smoothly on the Wildfire. This was great because it was highly customisable which I believe not all Windows phone 7 style launchers can do(?).
A new update for LauncherPro came out today, I'm using the pro version, it just added some widget improvements and a new Gmail widget.

I would vouch for this, i use Zeam a lot of the time however it does not have as much functionality as the other launchers but is extremely fast.
I have adw ex, it used almost 5 minutes to loaded up my 900mb (250apps) apps, but launcher pro plus only use 45seconds to load it, with a lot of widgets, after my phone reboot.
How about launcher pro plus?
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA Premium App
I would use Go Launcher if it supported better our qvga resolution...
Because I think its app drawer is the best for usability, but it looks so bad on the Wildfire screen: I would pay for a modded version.
Anyway I'm using LPro+ which is very fast and smooth.
Yeah, GO Launcher sucks on this screen... But if you hide app names in drawer, it looks good. Anyway, I tried all of launchers people listed and they are great but I'm always going back to Sense.

Can I use themes on launcher pro plus although I don't have root? I'm using adw ex atm coz of the themes and think that the app drawer is cooler.
hey, whats about sbp shell 3d? its released ... does it work on wildfire???
I already try spb 3d.. not works on wildfire.. stock 2.2..
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using Tapatalk
I tried launcher pro, but always end up using Sense again, mostly because of the widgets, they are just so useful.
Ig you want widgets that look nice buy lancher pro plus then follow the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=783427 to get nice themed one which look 100% better than the standard grey
I recently also downloaded launcher 7.
I ditched ADW for it.
Kinda like the little customizations for launcher 7, bring a newer look from other launchers which basically look the same.
Only downside is, the widgets all look tiny, so I have to live without widgets (which I dont normally use anyways).
GO Launcher in my opinion is the best. It has many functions such as closing running applications.

Hate to say it, but I LOVE Launcher PRO! ADW Launcher is a pretty good 2nd-bet, however Launcher Pro, IMO has much better options!

Why would you hate to say it? To each his own.
I want to know what the best launcher is in terms of uniqueness and not just speed. I want a launcher that is different from other launchers and has actually been well thought out. Thank you.
Personal favourite
I quite like Launcher Pro - lots of icon packs and easy to customise! Can be as simple or as complex as you want it to be. Only issue is that it hasn't been updated for a while
If you want custom themes without having to pay for Launcher Pro Plus, then try GoLauncher - not a personal favourite of mine but is again very customisable and does pack in a few unique features.
I used to use Zedge for pure speed, but it was a bit limited customisation-wise and I overclocked my phone, so I didn't need a really fast launcher any more
i tryed many launchers...but Launcher Pro is the best choice for me...so i stick with it a long time now
deff Launcher Pro You can do what ever you want
<Mod Edit> External link!
i like launcher pro & go launcher too
I use Launcher Pro too... even I uninstall/erase other launchers.

Yes. I had also tried it. not very good. Instead ended up using Go Launcher Ex with ICS theme.
I just got ADW Launcher EX the other day from the 10c app promotions per day google is doing and i'm loving it so far.. lots of new features compared to the free version
Might be a good idea for people to keep watch incase it goes up for 10c again.. few days left of apps
Try this 360 launcher. Link:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1345601 pretty smooth, not bad so far.
Sent from my GT-i5801 using XDA App
Yea 360 launcher is awesome. Just never have seen these app drawer animations in any other launcher. very nice and very smooth. And the themes are good looking too
Edit: I just noticed that there is a lockscreen setting in its preferences using which we can have a variety of lockscreens too. And there are lockscreens available for download within the app itself.
This is f**king awesome
Only 3 lockscreens are available. But all 3 are good especially The iPhone lock screen and ics lock screen are looking great
Nemus
I use Nemus Launcher. It's fast and does what I need
This poll is about which launcher you prefer on SGA. ADW o Go ?
I have long time with Go but i want to know if it's recommendable the ADW.
Go launcher is gud. It eats less memory. Adw is a lil bulky & sumtimes is force close. Stay with go launcher.

N the fact is go launcher eats more ram than ADW..!

Never thought I'd say it as I'm a hardcore go fan, but adw is currently better.
Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda premium
I like more Go Launcher because ADW don't allow to create folders in app drawer. This is only option witch I'am missing in ADW.
Go Launcher is so much smoother, I think that ADW is good but I am a sucker for performance and eye candy.
Not much of a fan of either of the two, but I would prefer ADW to Go any day
adw ftw!
Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda premium
Launcher Pro all the way
But I'm switching to ADW as soon as I figure out how to hide apps from the drawer
I like ADWLauncher very much. . .
I will go for Go Launcher because of eye candy
Sent from my GT-S5830 using XDA App
Go launcher has a widget for almost everything and some cool customization. Uninstalled it from my ace because it makes my phone lag like hell and eats memory like no tomorrow. Currently using The best launcher out there: ADW EX. Its a paid app because its HELLA WORTH IT.
The speed and simpleness and all the high customization are just incredible. More than Go Launcher I must say. And the best of all, IT RUNS SMOOTHLY. Sure Go Launcher has eye candy to the max and go locker and all those things. But whatever. I prefer a mix of speed and eye candy. ADW EX is hands down the best out there for me.
Go launcher it has smoother app drawer and more themes

I'm going for GO launcher. Much smoother and much eye friendly. No doubt, I vote for GO.
I prefer adw launcher. Go launcher use more RAM. (not sure now).
I don't like go launcher app drawer(3 tabs!!!)
Adw free is open source and is used in Cyanogen as default launcher.
Bayint Naung you can disable the 3 tabs app drawer in Go Launcher settings .
I'vs used so many launchers like Launcher Pro (Plus), ADW Launcher EX, Go Launcher EX, and so much more 3rd-party launchers, but I always seems to go back to stock GB launcher because of the graphic acceleration and the smoothness even with live wallpapers...
What launcher do you use and why? I really want to know Thanks
Stock, AdwEx, Nemus, Zeam and many more. I haven't found my "Favorite" yet. :-D

For slower phones I'm recommending LauncherPro, but for better-equipped mobiles GoLauncher is the best option due to large amount of cust. options, speed and reliability.
On LG GT540 I was using LauncherPro, and now on SGS - GoLauncher.
But what do you use? I'm just curious...

Nova Launcher is for ICS only.
It's a modified stock ICS launcher that gives your more options and customization.
Default Miui launcher, pretty much always use stock launchers.
Reason being, my attitude to computing devices is simple ...........
everything uses resources. On PC this isn't so much of an issue as PCs can have a deep pool of system resources to dip into. However on a mobile device thats not the case, so if i want my device to function quickly and
accurately then i need to NOT load it up with lots of non critical non productive
processes, that usually do nothing but impress n00bs with eyecandy.
oh, that sounds cool. I'll get that when i get ICS in my Nexus S thanks

I was using the stock Android 2.2 launcher but then decided I would modify it to imitate the one found in Android 4.0. So that is what I am running.
My phone barely has any RAM so I hate using third party launchers, even with the force-into-memory tweak.

I agree with this guy, Go Launcher is pretty amazing and you can custom pretty much everything with the app.
Still rockin' the LauncherProPlus after 2 years. Never regret the purchase, still the fastest launcher i've seen.

Go Launcher is the best

Launcher Pro Plus - very fast and stable
on 2.3.6 i used launcherpro! It was pretty fast, however, the only problem was the folders weren't customizable and would freeze every once in a while.
