OK guys and gals, this one has been a long time coming. Some of us love the launcher than comes with the phone, be it Sense, Touchwiz, PhilBlur or vanilla. Some of us love the third party options, and find they add something that the OEM equipment lacks.

Vote in the poll, and comment away. It helps us know what you like, and it helps developers determine what they might need to add to their apps.

For the record -- I voted ADW. Love all the options, and the fact that it's open source puts it over the edge for me.
 
ADW for me. I've tried Launcher Pro; I can't say why, but I just didn't like it as much as ADW.
 
ADW, especially now that you can have custom icons. Here's to hoping that darch includes the new version in cm6rc2. :D

Philblur. Yep I said it, went there got the tee shirt. I have tried ADW and LauncherPro; while nice and snappy, I just prefer Philblur/Motoblur/BlurSomething for some reason.
 
Using Launcher Pro Plus, and I like it a great deal. I really preferred the look and feel of ADW much better though, but it force closed way too much if I used more than three screens.

ok somebody here is lying haha. i just voted adw and it says that their are 3 votes for adw. so who is it! :p

adw is probably the smoothest launcher i have used. its lightweight and customizable. what more could a android-o-holic like myself as for in a launcher
 
I like LauncherPro the most so far, however resizing widgets requires buying LauncherPro Plus (I guess I'll do it sometimes) while other launchers/themers allow it. I also have Open Home on my Quench (Android 1.5) and it's a pretty simple lightweight launcher and aHome themes are compatible so I'd vote for that for non-2.1 users.
 
ADW. By Far. I love the customization options and the fact that I was able to make it have more icons in the app tray and have my "swipe up" gesture show the 7 home screens.

Simple stuff, but it works for me.

Lol, that would be me, apparently, there's a poll to click. It doesn't show on tapatalk. I'll have to get on with my laptop later.

EDIT: Voted finally. :D

My DroidXreally came to life with LaunchetPro Plus. Working with the Moto widgets resizing is great.

Changed my mind, once I found LiveHome I scratched Open Home, looks much cleaner, more customizable and doesn't lag.

LauncherPro (Plus) still #1 for 2.1> though. :)
 
I was torn beteen ADW and Launcher Pro. Launcher Pro just seems easier to use to me. There's definitely more options with ADW and I like that you can change the look of the deck (is there an option for that with LauncherPro?) but I just like the overall feel of LauncherPro more.
 
I listed Sense.....I tried LauncherPro, but got fairly regular FC's, and didn't see the advantages. It seems that folks like LauncherPro, but then replicate Sense's icons and widgets with other 3rd party solutions.

Other than landscape and the 3D drawer, what advantages do folks see in using LauncherPro or other launchers?
