Hi Guys,
Quick question out of Adw launcher and LauncherPro or Go Launcher Which is the best to use??
I want Photo Widgets But it seems theses Home replaceMents Dont have them
Launcher pro and ADW use to have Photo widgets but not anymore
do you guys have any ideas or should i just stick to Sense
KiK me at username CellOo
thanks​
I just tried Go Launcher Ex for the first time yesterday and I must say I am in love. Hands down the best launcher I have used to date. There are so many options and I love all the cool transitions. The Touch Wiz skin is pretty cool as well...It also has it's own free widgets that you can download.
I thought I was going to miss the Sense launcher but I do not see myself going back anytime soon.
The 3Evo was born to have 5 rows in it's launcher. It just fits perfectly. Add that with some Beautiful widgets, and it just can't be beat!
ive been using ADW and lovin it

Love launcher pro, but it sucks on e3d for some reason and it appears abandon my Federico. Was using ADWex but it isn't as smooth as launcher pro (when lp works properly anyway) so I tried go launcher, love it, extremely smooth, do miss the 3d (aka 4d) drawer though. Aside from that it kicks lp's ass.

GO Launcher is like launcherpro on steroids!!!!! Already loved Launcherpro but when GO Launcher came out.... man ol man!!!!! goodies!!!1
the animations are out of this word....love the app drawer can have em too!
D. None of the above.
Spb 3d mobile shell is the only other launcher I use. Go back and forth between it and stock. It's widgets are by far the best in my opinion. It's not quite as smooth as sense and it costs... But well worth the money if you ask me.

I like that one a lot too. Use it intermittently. Only thing I don't like about that one is that when you go to "all apps" and you scroll fast, when you touch to stop the scroll, the apps crawl up or down for a second or more (to lock on to a row) and if you try to touch an icon to start an app while the scroll is still crawling, it ignores it. You have to wait until the crawling scroll is done and then tap again. So I've gone back to Sense just because the fact that it scrolls all apps a page at a time is nice.

I can't use any of them, because none of them (without root) will give me a simple 1x1 widget that will display my unread exchange emails. (I can't use k-9 because my work uses Exchange 2010).
15 BUCKS FOR A FREAKING LAUNCHER???
bwahahahahahahaha joke right?
I also like Go Launcher but the sense is really fast and go Launcher has a lag when changing pages.
I see that spb has experimental stereoscopic built into it. does that do anything on the evo3d?
Personally, I have tried all that you've listed... Also GDE.
I have stuck with Go ever since I really figured it out. It gets my vote!
I tried Go for a little bit. (Few hours) Unless I missed it in the options I didn't see where I could get a full screen app drawer. I just felt like I was missing a lot if real estate when I opened the drawer. Got in my nerves :/ Small I know, but that's me.

lol, that is pretty small considering all the other great features.
I switch between ADW EX & Go Launcher....I like to keep things clean looking, so Go Launcher I set up with the scrolling dockbar hidden (revealed with a down swipe). With ADW EX I use basically a dual dockbar & toggle between the 2 with a downswipe on the screen. 1 home screen and lots of real estate to actually enjoy my wallpaper.

I am enjoying my 3vo. But being my first real android, I do miss having quality apps from winmo days. They do cost more, but worked and looked better to me. Every one seems to be used to free mediocre apps that no one tries the pay apps. Unfortunately if no one pays there won't be many quality apps. I used SPB MS in winmo and will now try it here. I miss Agenda One as my calender also.

Hi
Im just wondering...how come such a powerfull phone
Cannot "multi task" with live wallpaper..
When i put LWP the phone become very slow and laggy.
I have here galaxy s and he doing fine with heavy multi task and LWP
As well.
Even with another launchers the problem remains.

Nope, I run an lwp ..several ones actually. I jump between xda, twitter, facebook, gplus, gmail, corp email and browser all day long and don't have any issues with slow downs. In fact the only time I have ever seen this phone slow down is with the keyboard on occasion in landscape mode.
What lwp are you using. Could just be a crappy coder.

Either the people in this thread don't know what silky smooth is or their phones are better than ours for some reason. But the display at the sprint store dis the same thing. The stock launcher is already laggy as hell so a lwp makes it non issue on stock launcher. But on any other launcher, there are issues.
My EVO 3d was the same way. Pure vanilla phones seem to do better with lwp...like the LG g2x and nexus s

Here's a tip: STOP USING LIVE WALLPAPERS THEY KILL YOUR BATTERY. Also LWP shouldnt slow your phone down if anything it should be faster since lwp keep your cpu clock speed a bit higher.

Anything that requires resources and CPU cycles should slow things down. Albeit how much depends on many factors. Video based apps like live wallpaper especially could be resource intensive.

Dont you mean lower? Higher, in theory, would make it slower because it needs that power to multi-task for whatever reason? But then again, some of my servers run well over 200% and no one complains? Oh well............

I mean live wallpapers keep the cpu active, you fire up the screen so its already faster than the phone with regular wallpaper because it needs to continuously keep the lwp going? Idk maybe im seeing this wrong......seems like the phone using lwp should be more responsive and able to multitask over the phone with regular wallpaper since the cores have to fire up upon the screen wake.

Okay, so this isn't the worst launcher I've used, I can think of ones I hate more. But I do have an issue with it. My home screen always winds up all weird, or everything disapears off of it after a reboot. The other pages are fine and retain their apps and such just fine. So I can't figure it out. Anyone else have any issues? Yes, I'm rooted, unlocked, running Joker Skinny ROM version 0 (Haven't had time to upgrade yet) with the 1.3 ghz kernel for now.
That sounds really weird. I haven't had any issues with go launcher except that some times i want to go to landscape mode and it won't...but i think that's just my settings...it ain't for everyone, but try uninstalling ,wiping cache/ dalvik before trying to reinstall?

I had a very similar issue with GO Launcher as well. See link below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1332813
I am rooted and running stock ROM. I performed a factory data reset, removed the battery and all went well. My widgets started loading perfectly. Widget Locker loaded perfectly. It was like nothing was wrong. I know it sounds very simple but it worked for me. Qbking77 pm me back and he said that he experienced some issues with GO Launcher as well.
Hope this helps!

I'm gonna try Launcher Pro and see if I like it better...and as it turns out, there are some trade offs it seems:
1) Max 7 homescreens - You can get 18 in Go Launcher EX (9 screens x 2 sets) I think, but I've never gone past 8
2) Can't uninstall from homescreen - You can do this in Go Launcher
3) Can't change icon/name of app in homescreen - You can do this in Go Launcher
4) Less screen to screen animations available - There are about a dozen in Go Launcher
5) Faster than Go Launcher - Though still laggy straight off of lock/screen off
6) 3D app drawer is a nice touch - I almost prefer the side scrolling pages
7) Doesn't seem glitchy - Widgets and apps sometimes would have to be replaced on homescreen in Go Launcher
8) Can't drop multiple apps onto homescreen - Go Launcher can...
I guess if you're all about customizing, Go Launcher might be the way to go...but performance-wise Launcher Pro seems a bit better.
I actually had the best luck with gingerbread launcher.

Wow! I can't believe the problems you're having. I've never experienced any of those. I agree with ktt16 on the universal suggestion. Also delete any widgets created during setup so you start with any empty desktop.

I like go launcher ex the most out of all the launchers. Just works better and has a better interface to me.
So I did a fair bit of searching on the topic and didnt find what I was really looking for.
I have tried both GoLauncher and ADW EX on my note and am experiencing some severe screen transition lag. Im currently running GoLauncher and have tweeked all the settings to be the fastest and smoothest possible. I am also only running 3 screens with only a few widgets.
What info I did find on the topic was in regards to the Int'l versions. People seem to find that certain roms greatly improve the performance, but for us AT&T people, only having it for a week now, we don't yet have the option to flash a ROM.
I also read that it's because the launchers haven't been optimized for the Notes screen yet. Any truth to that?
So my question is...
Has anyone else experienced lag using launchers?
If so, have you found anything to help reduce it?
Much appreciation in advance.

I've noticed lag on home screen transitions on everything (GO, ADW EX, LauncherPro) except the default TW launcher and Zeam launcher.
Yes, I have been through several launchers, all with plenty of lag. I agree that it must be the odd dimensions of the screen. Its certainly not the hardware...
I'm currently running TPC ROM overclocked to 1.83 with supercharger script (I think, lol) all in an effort to defeat the lag! Everything helps, and the difference is night and day compared to stock, but still a little lag.
Also, I INSIST on running live wallpaper, but that's just me being difficult...

Good to hear Im not alone on this.
I just finished reading the threads regarding Da G's root and kernel method as well as TPC rom.
Just to clarify the broad steps.
1. Root using regular or O.C. Da G method.
2. Reset
3. Flash TPC's Rom
The reason I ask is bc TPC's post looks a little cluttered to me. If I read correctly, I dont have to push the libraries if I choose the O.C. method bc TPC included them?
Once again, thanks!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk
Once you get the drivers installed (took forever on my computer) and you download and run Odin, connect your phone, browse to the extracted .tar file in the PDA section for the ROM (TPC V2) hit start. Then flash the kernel the same way.
Don't worry about the libraries for the kernel, they are included in the ROM.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk
See that's where I was confused. So the TPC rom will also root?
I thought I needed to do root w/ kernel before I did TPC's rom.
Glad I am getting clarification vefore I started lol.

Yes. I found the screen transitions on goLauncher stuttered and was unusable for myself.
BUT I found a proper setting over on the International Note Forum which worked. So, I'm back to using GoLauncher and am very happy regarding my Note launcher setup.
Basically In Preferences:screen settings:screen transitiion speed:custom slow down the "screen transition speed " to 25 and "elasticity " to 55.
So in this case the key was to slow down the transitions not speed up which just made t worse.

They do, but you can move them around with a long press.
Im still a bit confused as to what order I am supposed to be doing this root/rom.
Let's say I have Da G's stock kernel and root. I want to try the overclocked root and TPC rom.
TPC rom first then the overclocked kernel?

It does. As you add and update apps it gets out of order. You can hit the menu button when the app drawer is open and choose the sort option. I just reselect the alphabetical option and reapply and that orders them correctly again.
As far as lag, definitely noticed it when I first loaded GO launcher but I use the bulldozer transition and a lot of the lag had become almost imperceptible. Still see some occasionally, but nothing that affects my experience.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
GO Launcher is mentioned all over the forums as being laggy. I wouldn't use it myself because it 'phones home'. I'm thinking that's what the lag is all about. Look at the permissions and you'll see - they track and sell user information. All of the GO products are like that, I don't use any of them. I know you can block it, but why should I have to do that? I'd rather pay for software outright.
Never had any lag issue on my Atrix, and that was with 6 screens, a ton of GoLauncher apps and scrollable widgets. Ran smooth as butter.

It sounds like you're definitely having an issue with the launcher configuration. I've dealt with that before too, but the good thing is sometimes I'll have trouble with nova trying to get the settings dialed in perfect and it still will feel off, and I'll try apex and the stock settings out of the box perform crazy fast and smooth. Or it might be vice versa, but I would tinker with that.
Also, make absolutely sure you aren't restoring your launcher backup or settings or anything that you used on the S3 over to the DNA.

I'm talking about the settings in the Nova launcher settings, not the ones in developer settings. There are speed settings in Nova launcher's settings that you can tell it to give priority to speed over graphics.
Edit: Found another person's post on another site about it:
To make it even faster go to nova settings, look and feel and change scroll and animation speed to faster than light.

That does make it feel a little faster but i was saying that nova launcher made my phone unresponsive once.. The button clicks would take few seconds to register.... A reboot fixed it... Thank you. I am trying the faster setting and i like it
I tried adw but went back to nova cause I just am familiar with it.
I changed the settings to faster than light and its way better so far!!

Maybe you just aren't used to sense? Sense has always been known for being a heavier skin. I'm fine with it, however sense 5 is way faster and smoother. Just because the phone doesn't feel fast, doesn't mean it isn't. It is a very quick device.

I don't know if this thread is dead but for people with this issue in either nova or apex in their respective advanced settings you can make the launcher stay in memory. This brings redraws to nothing on apex for me.
