Apparently Fede is doing a full rewrite of launcher pro cause he wanted to expand it past the stock 2.0 launcher. Should be brilliant, much faster than anything we've seen before plus that'll allow him to add any tweaks he likes. Can't wait. Still, even without the rewrite, I still have to go with launcher pro. So much easier and faster than anything else. Plus, with the docks and the entire interface in itself it's just so much better than the stock. Sure ADW EX is customizable to an extreme in basically every aspect but I still gotta pick functionality and ease of use over style.

I've been using Launcher Pro for around a year, and never had a single issue with it. Sure software sometimes gets its knickers in a twist, so reboot, and forget about it. I wouldn't get rid of it, just because it crashed once :unsure:.

you are right.

actually i am going to try something new, crash give me a good excuse B)

Launcher Pro always seemed good to me, although scalable icons would be nice. It says they are scalable when you resize the grid but nothing happens.

I have no idea at all, I mean the mind really boggles why at least a couple of launchers have put in this crap ghastly '3d' effect on the app drawer. Aside from the fact it looks terrible, there's very specific design reasons why that actually doesn't work.

Which reminds me has as anyone written a new app drawer ? The standard one could really use a lick of paint so to speak. How long has Android been out and list of icons on a black background... it already looks horribly dated and crummy ?

Since yesterday Launcher Pro (Free) and now ADW Launcher EX. It seems that ADW Launcher EX is sometimes a little bit smoother and has some very nice animations.

ADW EX, I tried Launcher Pro, but had issues with it waiting and force closing.

While Zeam was faster than LauncherPro on 2.1, it seems the other way around on 2.2 so I'm back to LauncherPro again!

tried zeam, go, ADW and launcher pro on the 2.2 blade.

i would say launcher pro has the most stable performance, others are a bit laggy..

would like to have a go on ADW EX tho

Go into advanced settings in launcherpro, should be in the middle of that menu.

launcher pro plus

no problem with it (i'm using the cube it's like my pc destop ;) )

i like the option to save all the stuff

don't know if you have this in adw ?

Guest Phoenix Silver

pretty sure ADW has cube effect too ;)

sorry the option to save all the settings, the icons, number of homescreens etc....

Yep, it has them too. I envy my wife's ADW EX powered SanFran with the fancy zoom-in-out animations when opening apps ;) Also the fancy screen transitions are faster on the ADW EX and there are more to choose from.

I use ADW EX

I started off with Launcher pro, tried the new version too.

Oh and I also tried out the new Go EX, it's not that bad, felt smoother than LP.

But none of them feel as good as ADW EX.

I really like Launcher Pro (and paid for Plus) but it seemed to kill my battery so I went back to ADW (free).

Anyone else have problems with Launcher Pro (Plus) and battery or have any tweaks to increase battery life while using Launcher Pro (Plus)?

Everyone likes ADW and Launcher Pro - Fancy transitions and fancy widgets

I use the stock gingerbread launcher.

This is because although the home screen transitions are nice on those apps, the app drawers are not. Nothing can compete with the stock 2.3 app drawer (or even stock 2.2 one) - ITS SO SMOOOOOTH.

And because I only use one home screen, I barely flick through screens, so the somewhat jumpy home screen transition in the stock launchers doesn't bother me.

I just love the app drawer smoothness :)
