We've all had our phones for a while. I have used adw launcher for a while since my last phone. Do you guys are prefer touchwiz? I love the infinite possibilities of adw. I have barely used touchwiz.

I prefer launcher pro just for the functionality and looks. It never crashes and i like the app drawer better. You can hide apps and your home screens spin!

Used to use launcher pro but switched to go launcher when the dev of launcher pro apparently abandoned it... No updates since may!

I really like touchwiz launcher. Used Go launcher ex on my inspire. I'd say its a close second. The only complaint I have about touchwiz is the widget grid. They only give you a 4x4 grid, I greatly preferred the 5x4 grid.

I've used launcher pro + and I'm currenty using Go Launcher EX and G. L. EX is the Launcher I'm going to stick with.
I didn't like touchwiz because there were only 4 icons in the dock and only one dock. Go L has 3 docks with 5 icons per dock.

Well, I'm in the process of changing from Go Launcher EX to Launcher Pro. My ATRIX 2 had lots of issues (in general) and especially with Launcher Pro. I'm using the Galaxy S II now and so far, I love LP. On the A2, all of the icons were a fixed size and it didn't matter what you tried to do to adjust them, nothing worked. Depending on how many icons you had on the screen, they would overlap each other. Lp works great on the SGS II.

There is a wealth of info at the above link. Lots of recommendations for apps, launchers, etc., for the new user. I would have been lost when I first purchased my Galaxy S II had I not found this info.

Enjoy!

Go Launcher > ADW EX > LP >Sony Arc >Regina/SPB 3D/etc. > pencil and paper > Touchwiz

I think it all boils down to personal preference. Was using the paid launcher pro version on my nexus one and really liked the 3D app scrolling. Lack of updates and desire to try something else pushed me to Go Launcher which I am personally prefer to touchwiz and is what I am currently using. Aesthetic-wise SPB 3D seems nice but the price is a distance too far for me for a launcher.
