Both launchers are great IMO, but I've usually leaned toward LauncherPro. I haven't installed either on my MT4G, and am curious to know what other MT4G owners prefer to run on their phone (after rooting, of course).

adw launcher all the way.
http://www.appbrain.com/app/fluxed-adw-theme/com.asimonds.fluxed
with that adw.theme.
[i bought adw.notifier too]
then put on something with a black wallpaper=ooommmggg
speed+eye candy
I just tried both and ADW is slow as a dog on my phone. LauncherPro flies faster than I remember it running on my old MT3G, but sadly I can't install/use any of the HTCSense widgets (most importantly the weather/clock one).
Keep HTCSense or LauncherPro? Hmmm.
I have been using LauncherPro Plus for over a week now. Decided to try ADW today. Although there are definitely some more customization options on ADW theme wise, LPP seems to run faster and more consistent. I will be sticking to LPP.
Also, the old version of fancy widget or the paid beautiful widget app can replace the sense ui weather/clock.

LPP all the way, by far the best. Get beautiful widgets if you want the sense style clock and the LPP widgets are just as good as the sense widgets.

same here... I love Launcher Pro and have been using Beautiful Widgets since they came back after the C&D from HTC, between the speed of Launcher Pro (not to mention the 2 extra launcher bars) and the customization of Beautiful Widgets you can't go wrong.
LPP! i love how fast it is and the widgets are amazing! the ability to also resize a widget on the fly is wondering
I tend to use Launcher Pro Plus more than ADW but both are excellent.
Used to go back and forth between these 2 before lpp. the widgets just put it a step ahead, 4 me. both are good though
Launcher Pro with translucent widgets is the best!
what do you all mean by "fast"?
like the scrolling speeds?

I love LP but im using ADW now and i havent seen any slowdowns at all and i like the themes, maybe since its newer to me im digging it more now, i been using launcher pro since it first came out
yea both are great launchers and i have been using LPP since it came out too but lately ive been using ADW since it has many different themes and with the TeamSilence Iced Galcier Rom V1.0 and the Gr8Gorilla 1.7 Ghz OC, ADW doesnt lag at all... so it gives me speed and extreme customization too IMO... my suggestion is download both then see which one suits your needs...
+1 for LPP. I love the calendar widget and the dock with the glass background.
First time trying to use launcher pro, downloaded it from Market and can not find it any where. Went into my app drawer and t isn't there, checked settings ect. and isn't there either. What the heck am I doing wrong? Any help would be appreciated.
Didn't think I was that much of a knuckle head but obviously I am.
Thanks,

Click your home button. You should have an option to launch HTC Sense or Launcher Pro.
Click Launcher Pro and now you're using that as your home launcher. If you click on the Menu button from home, you'll now see a Preferences selection. That's how you can customize Launcher Pro.
If you decide you like it, when you click the home button, make sure you check the box to make it your default launcher.
What Launcher do you guys prefer currently I am using Adw Ex and it's pretty cool the only thing is you cannot scroll your dock but which one do you guys think is better?

I didn't like either because I thought they were buggy but with the latest ROM I'm using it came with Launcher Pro v0.82 and I actually like it now, no bugs at all so it was probably one of my other apps before, which I haven't put back on this time.
i have never been a fan of ADW because of its laggyness but ADW Ex is amazing!!!!
Adw ex all the way, launcher pro has got A LOT of catching up to do no more lagging, 8 different animation types for switching home screens, Profiles to choose from, and the organization is incredible.

I use ADW on my Eris, (since that's what Conap put in) but I prefer LauncherPro on my Archos tablet b/c of the widget resizing/rescaling. I havent tried the ADW ex...yet...
I prefer Launcher pro because of the sense like widgets it comes with. It has also worked smoother for me than ADW.
Everyone needs to Try adw ex way better than launcher pro and the stock adw, just watch the you tube videos on it. You'll never go back to lpp, TRUST ME....

How does the speed of ADW Ex or Launcher Pro compare to HTC Sense?
HTC Sense is obsolete compared to those launchers. There both fast but right now I prefer adw ex its smoking fast, you tube adw ex and watch what's in store with it
Sent from my Froyo Tazz using Tapatalk
I was a lancher pro fan until I tried ADW ex. HUGE improvement over the last time I tried regular ADW. Still waiting to see what happens with the complete rewrite or LP, but for now I'm gonna use ADW ex.
ADW Ex is blazing fast though Launcher Pro is no slacker either. Performance wise, I am happy with both.
Tough choice... I like that ADW Ex now has the Galaxy S/Iphone style drawer as I prefer the left/right scrolling and candy coated icons over the up/down long list. The fancy ways to scroll the desktop are nice but not essential IMO.
I do like the scrolling dock and widgets that come with Launcher Pro.
Are there launcher pro style widgets for Facebook/Calendar/Text messaging that can be used on ADW or other launchers?
I got to say adw ex, man that launcher is thebest hands down!
+1 for adw ex, i bought it last night it is pretty sick!
Sent from my ERIS using XDA App
I prefer Zeam Launcher to either one of these, it seems to be much faster and I love the dock. It's feature rich, and under heavy development.
Does ADW Ex have the ability to hide apps in the app drawer, like Launcher Pro does? I love that.
It has a like feature, were you make a catalog, and choose the apps that you want to be shown.

I know there is a widget called Pure Calendar that's Sense-like, but it's a paid app in and of itself, so you pay for ADW EX and that widget. It's not a lot of money (like $5 total) but I'm so pleased with all the built-in widgets on LPPlus, I don't know if I can leave it.
Plus, I'm really holding out for Fererico's full re-write that should be coming soon. His website says maybe early January, so the new LPPlus might suddenly becoming a worthy contender again to everyone who thinks it's old hat.
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

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 !
Sent from my GT-I5801 using XDA App
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.

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

I use adw now....been for about 7 mo.that now...I used to use LP....been a while tho....but I'm almost positive that LP had the people widgets but adw doesn't.....I guess it all comes down to personal preference....but there's a TON in the market....but I.always though.adw was a bit more stable

Actually, I've been using 'HE Launcher 2' lately (free from the market) and I love it. You can choose from all the popular docks (including a perfect Sense rosie, stock Gingerbread, Samsung, Froyo, espresso, blur, etc.), it has swipe-to-hide notification bar feature that works perfectly, and you can completely customize the size of your homescreens AND widgets.
Plus, Custom transitions, a blazing fast FULL app drawer, supports live wallpaper too..
I added a flip-clock with fancy widgets home, so now my phone LOOKS like it's running the Stock launcher, but it's waaay faster.

I have been using LP for a while now, sense was driving me nuts lol.
The stock android photo frame widget will work with any launcher..
Try out Go Launcher, it's free with alot of different themes and widgets (including a people, messaging, and Facebook widget)
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
Go launcher EX works wonders for me , couple it with the pure messenger and calendar and built in FB widget its stunning.
So I know this might seem funny to some people...
But I REALLY love the people widget that Sense has that lists favorites along the left but their last interaction next to them. Like latest facebook status, or call timing, or text message, etc.
Does any replacement launcher offer something similar?
Or is there a standalone app/widget that can do this?
If so, I definitely wouldn't mind parting with Sense...
I know that I'm not the only Launcherpro user out there!
Honestly I originally chose LPP because of the sense like widgets, but with the addition of themes (icon and widget) and transition animations, I really can't use anything else.
Plus I've found LPP to be more responsive than go or Adw, but i know many would argue on this point.
Really its just personal preference- they're all great launchers.

I'm anxious to see which launcher will be the first to be in 3D, similar to the EVO3D commercials, which shows the Sense home screen in 3D.
I have tried all launchers outhere and always go back to launcher pro. If you know how to set it up you'll have the smoother best looking launcher. LP is running at a cap 60fps scrolling with no lag. Transition effect "scale" and even iphone user are shock in how much more smoother my launcher is compare to an iphone 4. The widget are awesome too. Im using facebook, calendar and bookmark with honeycomb theme. Would not go back to any other launcher again. If anyone mention stutter or lag in LP is because they have not set it up right in the setting cause i was getting lag at first too.

ADW Launcher Ex, until Apex...now I am loving Apex over ADW Ex, for these reasons:
-Folder Styling (Circle/Square/layered etc..) maintains when added to the dock. ADW uses the 3 icons spread out, with a vanilla folder background when added to the dock...(maybe I am missing the folder styling when in the dock?)
-Transition Animation "Card Stack". I am tired of the ADW transitions...card stack is a clean refreshing transition that I am enjoying for now...
-Displaying Visual of Widgets in the App Tray. Fantastic!

My personal favorite is Apex, but since it isn't listed, I voted for Nova, which is also cool.
I've tried Launcher Pro, Rosie (obviously), Go Launcher EX, and Nova. I stayed on Go Launcher for a long time, but I decided to try Nova after seeing that it provided gmail unread notifications on the gmail icon. Nova provides more space on my home screen for my Android Agenda Widget. It also seems smoother and faster than Go Launcher. Thus, I am sticking with Nova for now. I've never tried Apex.
simply the best launcher is GoLauncher EX.
