The Best Android Launchers - XDA TV

[Anim4ls]

i want zeam launcher but it EAAAAAAAATS battery

[WakizashiSabre]

Hello, thanks for nice comparison. i have a question. Got new low-end Samsung Galaxy Y (my first smart-phone) and was wondering if the Zeam is faster than default, I think, 2.3 Gingerbread. I do not need fancy stuff, justed wanted something faster, if that is possible. Thanks for the response people.

[3321ipod]

Even Asian have london accent. LOL

[pfeeoq]

360 launcher is indeed cool but it won't support status bar tweaks if you're using custom rom

[DAFTKENNY1]

When did videos become all about the edit or presentation? Seriously, if you watch videos for the edit rather than the information, you better be off watching something else. Good video by the way.

[georgekolo]

Are you still virgin or what?

[krishang3]

Noooo where is Lp sense UI fast stable no force close awesome looking great features!

[krishang3]

@krishang3 you gotta try out 360 laauncher the BOMB!

[P10tudo]

[rbsteps]

[weecmcnic]

Great,thanks

[z50king29]

GREAT VIDEO, THANKYOU KIND SIR. ADW is for the win

[gramirezg21]

Ha I'm wearing the same master of puppets shirt right now

[powerkane]

:/ i think go launcher has more customization than the others

[InDepthIntel]

What font are you using on the phone? (I saw it when you went on launcherpro settings)

[TMTours]

I think I'll stick with sense.

[bsilver887]

@TMTours htc bloat?

[TMTours]

@bsilver887 Some people think it's bloat, some people think it's the best option, I personally fall firmly into the latter category.

[bsilver887]

@TMTours i got tired of it and im an htc fanboy. ended up getting a gs2 after seeing the sensation getting choppy with widgets, which just shouldnt be. they still have the best looking widgets though...nobody tops htc in that category.

[TMTours]

@bsilver887 I've tried ROMs with and without sense, I've tried several different launchers, I still keep comping back to sense though.

[busteryoutubr]

where is Go Launcher?

[ClipEvent96]

Epic voice

[BobyRacer44]

my favourite asiaan!!!

[bconover93]

HeLauncher and Regina Launcher are good

[Narutoboyfan121213]

Does anyone know how he got his android to display on his computer?

[N0greece]

i like this video. Pretty good presentation sir...

[esaedvik]

How did you manage not to include SPB Shell 3D?

[abdou1995]

@esaedvik its one of the best launcers, it got me puzzled too!

[mangethegamer]

@esaedvik Because it sucks?

[esaedvik]

@mangethegamer I'm sure that's why Huawei chose it as their stock GUI recently.

[agoago999]

NAME OF WALLPAPER PLZ

[agoago999]

What is name of wallpaper?

[MorichikaRinnosuke17]

MIUI Stock. If only it worked on other ROMs though =/

[djrits]

Okay, can you provide ANY proof of Go Launcher stealing IMEI numbers? I'm sure I would've heard it at least in over a year of using it and Go SMS..! Do not make statements in public without proof.

[djrits]

@djrits Here - android.modaco dot com/topic/342722-goapps-invest­igating-the-privacy-claims/

I take privacy pretty seriously and make sure anything I allow on my device is trustworthy. I've been using GO apps for over a year now and perfectly happy with them.

My advice - Don't spoil someone's hard work by callous statements.

[rudolf895]

Wait what!

Go launcher takes our imei?

Where is the proof for this public statement you just made?

[1brainsurgeon1]

what is an  imei number? What is the disadvantage of go launcher having it?

[ApplicantQuisling]

@1brainsurgeon1

google imei, please...

[1brainsurgeon1]

@ApplicantQuisling not sure if you're insinuating that my question was ridiculous or not...

[ApplicantQuisling]

@1brainsurgeon1

I was telling you to google it, you'll get a clear answer and at the same time you dont have to wait for the answer to be deliver, if delivered at all.

[1brainsurgeon1]

@ApplicantQuisling right on. I did just that and now know. Thanks

[ste11astar]

Great job, Shen. I love LauncherPro Plus but it has been acting weird on me lately. I didn't know that GoLauncher copies my imei number. I don't why they would need this info but thanks for the heads up.

[RubiksOrigami]

What tool(s) did you use to capture the video of your phone?

SHEN HELP ME DUDE! MY DAUGHTERS BOTH WANT IPOD TOUCHE'S FOR XMAS :( I don't want the disease that is 'itunes' anywhere near my house :S please tell me a droid tablet that is worth owning with droid 2.3 at around £180-200. Help would be.greatly appreciated bro!

[AaronPACB]

I love using Launcher7. Its so simple and appealing to the eye, although the ultimate best launcher is SPB Shell 3D. Its so expensive, but after I tried it out, I realised why! Its fucking amazing! Has so many features and widgets and its so uber damn sexy.

[TheMorpheus81]

Oh boy, I can't understand you!!! 

[PcItalian]

Would be nice if you did videos in English Mr Asian man! haha jk. PS if you can't disable auto-focus then get a new camera, they're dirt cheap! Geez

[screwstontexas12345]

Go launcher takes your imei number and sends it somewhere?!

[5uphiKaner]

i use LauncherPro feels fastest to me

iv tryed: ADW Launcher, Zeam Launcher, Go Launcher

to me LauncherPro feels faster then zeam launcher

they also have had some updates that boosted speed and also you can now theme your widgets and icon

[clarkkov]

All Android apps shamelessly take your IMEI - and much more, not just Go Launcher. BTW, bad editing, act, presentation and Android knowledge, please replace this presenter.

[markdexter0107]

@clarkkov By any chance are you the developer of Go Launcher.........

[armyboy11b89]

@clarkkov why r you worried about his acting and presentation? THIS ISINT A AUDITION FOR ACTING U DUMB IGNORANT BITCH .........

[TheMrZnyper]

Be more confident, and speak louder/get a better mic. Otherwise good job.

[Hazzarddu]

Shit video. WTF XDA, don't lower your game like this.

[Hazzarddu]

Your mic cutting off whenever you stopped talking really annoyed me.

[FJheals]

SPB Shell 3D, best launcher I have ever used

[GagesIPod]

GO LAUNCHER IS THE BEST!!!

[nuds55]

what the fuck did you just say?

[justinnv00]

Which launcher is the first launcher??

[kzenwei]

You seriously need to prepare better for your videos. The things you want to say and stuff is all over the place. I expect more from the XDA tv team.

[AdamiXko]

HTC Sense is the best android launcher!

[4g63mark]

Refusing to demo go launcher? That video just got voted "thumbs down." What a terrible video.

[SHINeeFanster]

What emulator are u using??

[ljhelder]

I want that poster...

DOCTOR WHO FTW.

[The313dash]

Screencast

[H3ArTLeSsJeRk]

what program did you use to emulate android on your comp? ive been looking for a program like this

[kourampioulis]

You should propably also turn off the noise cancelling of your webcam, it gives weird sound :p

[mpetrovic1987]

SPB Shell 3D owns all these!

[einc70]

Shen are U new on the Android platform? U should just get on xda hack news instead..

[sabret00the]

LPP is my favourite too. But the bugs need sorting, the dev has said he's working on, but I feel like the work has been going on for a year.

[neelppatel007]

everybody knows about these launchers . they comes on top in market.

[Bouwplan]

ill stick with adw as i can hide the app drawer an get a extra row for apps ^^ (configed adw to open teh app drawer as i swype up)

[ufanisoneetze]

I can't understand what you are saying

[ufanisoneetze]

JUST what I was looking for, THANK YOU xda

[Zmir]

i wish i could make sassibob wet like that

[Dcdatruth85]

Its hard for me to except change, but I guess ill eventually get use to the new xda tv.

[IamJTwinn]

I really recommend GO Launcher. I have paid for ADW EX and Laucher Pro and GO Laucher crushes them all. Its free (I would pay for it if I had to), the developers update the launcher frequently, and it is BUTTERY SMOOTH!

all the way from TEXAS bitches!!!!

[TantrumV1]

"There's so many apps that like the IMEI or IMSI number... even the XDA app requests IMEI every time." forum(do)xda-developers(dot)co­m/showthread.php?t=1216068&pag­e=2

Is this true? If so, why the hate towards GO Launcher? 

[turtledogg]

What's this about go launcher??

[drreality1]

@turtledogg im confused as well !

[joemama1199]

what capture software do you use for the phone?

[Rawrfearmeh333]

Can i has old XDA TV plz :(

[deadf1sh]

I've used launcher pro for quite a long time, but since I have touchwiz I let it down. Touchwiz has some flaws but they are all corrected with TW4.5. And LP have not been updated for a long time, and it sucks hard when you use a live wallpaper.

[jubic]

Launcherpro+

[starwars551]

What did you use to record video from your android phone?

[dxzh4ck3r]

ADW! ²

[firzennet]

ADW!!!

[TheNotDone]

LAUNCHER PRO 'nuff said.

[speeddemon157mph]

SkahBBah

[ghale1971]

Bad editing very gerky

[parker2004au]

What was the problem with GoLauncher, haven't heard about those privacy issues?

[shohid1234]

qqlauncher is my launcher of choice at the mo!

[shenshang]

@shohid1234 i tried it today, its nice, but pretty much designed to match MIUI. I prefer a normal launcher with it's lockscreen, especially since i'm on the sgs2, i prefer a dark theme to save battery

[LcD59c]

Go Launcher is the best !

[williamlai31518]

Go is from China.... duh....

[TheDeadCPU]

Horry sheet, you got a lot off apps mate.

[theintrovertedfishie]

xD your audio is being funny

[tomween1]

Don't know if Bob asked you to do this for me, but I do thank you!

[jadephyre]

hold on, GO sends the IMEI back to the dev ? What kind of fuck-up is that ?

[shenshang]

@jadephyre yeah, and a bit of other data. They do it in most of their apps.

[jadephyre]

@shenshang damn... guess I won't try it then.

Have to look for another Launcher then, as LPP is getting pretty outdated, its developer has appearently abandoned it.

[shenshang]

@jadephyre I sure hope not. I just found a new launcher that's pretty cool. It's called QQLauncher. Seems to have been made to match MIUI. It's quite nice, and has a really cool lockscreen. Gonna check the smali to see if it has any privacy issues.

[shenshang]

@jadephyre I sure hope not. I just found a new launcher that's pretty cool. It's called QQLauncher. Seems to have been made to match MIUI. It's quite nice, and has a really cool lockscreen. Gonna check the smali to see if it has any privacy issues.

[jadephyre]

@shenshang well, he seems occupied with UberMusic, there has not been an update in months... he said on twitter that he's still working on it, but somehow I don't believe him.

[djrits]

@jadephyre Yeah, he's probably writing Android itself from scratch. I bought both his apps, brilliant at first and then almost non-existent updates. Ubermusic hasn't seen a single update since launch. And LPP is dead. And if you try to contact him, he acts like a douche most of the time! A year for a launcher app? Right!

[jadephyre]

@djrits It really seems like he abandoned both his apps...

[djrits]

@jadephyre He made ton of money and is off for good holidaying on some beach.. he might come back with some app later or start a company, who knows (cares)..! It's a shame 'cos I thought he'd keep up the good work. I might be completely wrong though. But over a year for a launcher app seems ridiculous by anyone's standards..

[jadephyre]

@djrits true enough, and i'm still looking for a replacement launcher...

[shenshang]

@jadephyre he's working on both, he's still in the process of rewriting lpp from scratch, a very long process.

[jadephyre]

@shenshang well, it's not so hard to post an update to an otherwise abandoned site, now is it ?

It's not like I want him to deliver something unfinished, but he's starting to lose against all the other launchers as people are pissed off about the delays and the (frankly) non-existant communication with the user base.

[toringedotno]

What does he use to record / VNC ?! I NEED TO KNOW

[azri04o7]

The sound works fine for me. Thx for letting us know about the issue with go launcher

[BullsGaming]

Is it just me or is there something wrong with the sound

[shenshang]

@BullsGaming how so?

[BullsGaming]

@shenshang Its sounds very jumpy and not smooth

[shenshang]

@BullsGaming maybe at a few of the cuts, but shouldn't do apart from them

[BullsGaming]

@shenshang anyway, good video. i just downloaded zeam, Thanks :p

[iammodo]

@shenshang well in that case ill let the wife keep using it, as i dont know what data tesco take from my card and how long its stored but as long as i get bread i dont care.

[MrTekn010933]

Weak!

[iammodo]

@shenshang do they have to put it in the terms? if so why is it still on the market?

[shenshang]

@iammodo can't prove that's it's for malicious use. Also, it's not against the terms of the market, but not notifying your users makes it very dodgy.

[fatino1234]

Metallica t-shirt \m/

[iammodo]

Can someone link a but of information proving go launcher are using data maliciously? I mean sense ui tracks everything for debug reasons same as touchwiz. This is nothing new to android.

[shenshang]

@iammodo yes, but it's in their terms. Go devs don't tell you jack sh*t about tracking your data. Actually, they have one app that doesn't invade your privacy, I think its the SMS or Contacts app. Forgot.

[junj03]

go launcher tracks ur information and data, F that...

[MomoMaxedOut]

DUDE how do you record your ANDROID SCREEN!? PLEASE DO TELL.. It can't be an emulator because they're slow :(

[shenshang]

@MomoMaxedOut screencast, it's a premium app on the market. the free version only allows 30 seconds

[MrHeljic]

@shenshang Thanks man :D This is exactly what I needed ;)

[iammodo]

Also give me the model number of your camera ill look up the manual and sort out auto focus. shouldn't be hard for an xda member.

[shenshang]

@iammodo its my SGS2, i'll have to take a closer look at the smali again when I have more time.

[jukvamostar]

I hate when u say follow me on twitter, and dont put twitter link in descripition, so I manually have to find u on horrible twitter search, you bet I'll search you, ahaa

[shenshang]

@jukvamostar errr...my left finger magically spawned my username....

[iammodo]

Wife uses Go launcher epic amount of effects, great for showing off android to IOS people. I use launcher ++ retro style launcher, this could have been a good show if you put a bit more effort in.

[forgottenpains]

To those complaining about Go Launcher not being on the list, go 2:38 and watch it. Oh, and enjoy your botnet, Go Launcher users.

[kennwoon]

Yup Go Launcher is the best!

[tttaaaeeelll]

Where is the Go Launcher? You've missed the #1 . Go Launcher is the best one!

[shenshang]

@tttaaaeeelll I talked about it near the end.

[golDarkrai]

I love tiles and metro ui, launcher 7 ftw <3
