Sent from my XT720 using xda premium
works great on my Evo. thanks.
That's the best launcher I've ever had. Light, fast, smooth, and really nice. Thanks!
I've been using Holo for about a month now....was waffling between it and Zeam after going a long time on Go Launcher. I was looking for a way to simplify my desktop into one screen with folders that feature my most used apps and trying to get a memory use reduction out of my launcher. Zeam was doing the memory thing well, but the folders were absolutely bland and unappealing, not to mention they wouldn't close after selecting an app to use. Holo does all those things well, but my only gripe is I can't seem to keep it in memory. After using a memory hungry app on my phone for an extended amount of time, the launcher has to restart when going back home. I guess I should stop expecting "smartphone" performance out of my Milestone and realize it's a touchscreen phone that can do some smart things....eventually.
I need a launcher for my android smartphone, It,s faster and looking so great , please give me download link.
They all have pluses and minuses and some run better on certain android versions and / or phones. It all comes down to personal preference. Some prefer minimalist, some prefer every option possible. Etc. Here's some to check out:

Go launcher also seems to be a good one.
Is there a launcher out there that is up to date and allows me to slide over like google now does but allow me to use that page for widgets? I basically want a launcher that is just like the new 5.0 lollipop launchers out there but google now will be replaced with a page for me to place widgets. Kind of like what Blur Launcher does.
I had recently tried out ArchiDroid v3.0.2, but, due to limitations of the launchers, reverted back to TouchWiz.
I want to re-arrange the application icons in the 'Applications' drawer so I can keep related applications together. I've tried all the 3 launchers included in ArchiDroid, but I couldn't find a solution.
1.>Nova
Nova has no options to allow re-arranging the icons. All the icons are arranged alphabetically. Looking at screenshots of Nova Prime, it seems that it'll allow user to create more tabs (similar to the default 'Applications' & 'Widgets'). But it isn't clear whether it will allow re-arrangement of icons inside the tabs.
2.>CM Trebuchet
It looks like Trebuchet allows arrangement of the icons in 3 manners: Alphabetically, by usage frequency, and by installation date. But it wont allow for an arbitrary placement.
3.>Google
The Google launcher that was included had even lesser options than Trebuchet.
I reverted back to TouchWiz on QS-i9300-KK since none of the launchers I tried allowed me to re-arrange.
Will the latest Nova Prime will allow me to re-arrange icons arbitrarily?
Are there any other launchers (free or paid) that will allow me to re-arrange as I wish?

Try LightningLauncher. You can arrange Drawer-items and much more.
Thanks for the suggestion.
Unfortunately, there's no trial version on Google Play. I'm only able to see the paid version below:

I had liked NovaLauncher on 4.4.4 (ArchiDroid). I'm also hoping to hear from folks regarding Nova Prime.
I disabled the default desktop launcher in Remix OS.
This gave me a traditional Android-style launcher.
I did this so I could have features like multiple desktops, swipe navigation, ability to use widgets, etc.
The problem is that I cannot remove shortcuts from this alternate launcher. I can only re-arrange them.
If I perform a long-press on a shortcut, the only option available is: "Uninstall".
This makes it impossible to organize my shortcuts.
Remix OS forces every app shortcut to stay on the desktop.
There's no way to remove useless shortcuts I don't need.
Is this by design? Can you all check your launchers and let me know?
I use Nova Launcher, works great for what you are trying to do.

Yes, it seems the two default Remix launchers are terribly limited.
So I don't understand why they block Nova Launcher (re: Third Party launchers not supported).
Thankfully, I figured out how to use "SD Maid" & got Nova Launcher to work.
I haven't experienced any glitches, and my launcher is now so beautiful & fully customizable.
So it makes me even more confused why Nova Launcher is blocked.
