what home launchers are any of you using on 2.2 and which one do you prefer and why?

I've played around with a bunch and Launcher Pro seems to be the one I like the most even though I'm using HTC Sense at the moment. quick run down why launcher pro is cool:

1. 5 icon dock like the iphone. you can put 5 icons at the dock on the bottom and also configure a seperate function when you swipe up on the button.

example: I have a phone icon as my 3rd icon. if I tap it it brings up the dialer. If I swipe up it brings up my wife's direct call interface.

2.I like that you can customize how many desktop screens you have. Personally, I dont use up all 7 screens on Sense but it doesnt give me an option to turn off blank ones.

3. 5th row of icons. You can cram another row of icons on each desktop.


I go back and fourth between Sense and Launcher pro. Did not really like the other launchers out there.

I just installed Zeam last night. I like it because of the app dock and the ability to only use the # of pages on the home screen I need. Currently, I use 4 screens. Cubanjinx posted a pic of his homescreen with Zeam (+ beautiful widgets) in this thread.

I'm in agreement with Trust on using LauncherPro. I use it, in conjunction with PowerStrip. LauncherPro is very customizable, which is great. There's a website out there that has tons of custom icons and dock backgrounds that can be used with LauncherPro. For me, it's been very stable on my EVO running 2.2.

Just remember though, if you switch to a different launcher (whether it's LauncherPro, ADW, or others) you won't be able to use the HTC Sense widgets with it, if that's important to you.

As far as LauncherPro goes, here's a link with some more info.
