Hey, i have a older device that came out about two years ago, and i was wondering what the best and FASTEST Launcher on the Market? it doesnt matter if its Paid or Free Launcher :)
 
There is no best! Fortunately, they all are free or have free trials so you can figure out which works best for you. I used LauncherPro for a long time, but it's been largely abandoned by its developer and hasn't seen an update in over a year. Go launcher has improved tremendously over that time from it's "toyish" beginnings, but it still requires extensive tweaking to get it right. Currently, I'm using ADWex on my Evo and tablet which seems to have the best balance of performance and features for me. Have yet to give Zeam a try, but will probably get around to it eventually.
 
I used GoLauncher on my Bionic but have since stopped using any 3rd party once I got my Nexus. ICS launcher is just awesome. Agree that LauncherPro just seems dated. Never tried Zeam but Go gives you a lot of tweaks and their other apps (GoSMS) tie in really nicely with the launcher.
 
I use Go Launcher, but if you are looking for the fastest on an older or lower spec phone, Zeam is lighter and faster, but less customizable. Depends what is most important to you.
 
Best is the one that works best and fastest on your phone. Its very device dependent. For example, Launcher Pro is an excellent, fast and smooth launcher, many people swear by it. But it likes to Force Close on my phone whereas Go Launcher works excellent. On other people its the other way around. So basically try the recommendations and look for what works best on your specific device.
