GB Launcher App - best one?

LPP or ADW EX. I go back and forth between the two.

Turdbogls gets credit for posting this in a thread I started last week. Here is what he posted there:


redraws are usually NOT launcher specific. if it happens to one launcher, it will happen to the others as well.

there is a fix tho. did this a while ago and haven't had a redraw since.
using root explorer navigate to system
mount r/o
longpress on build.prop
open in text editor
scroll all the way to the bottom
enter the following text:
ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1

press the hard back key and save the document
mount system again
reboot.

basically what is happening is the launcher is an app, and it gets kicked out of memory when memory gets low (hence why it happens to all launchers)...this is b/c the launcher is at priority 6, which is pretty low. the above hack puts the priority at 1, so it is the last thing to get kicked out of memory by the built in memory manager.

did this when i was on apex 2.0 (based on GB 591) when i was getting horrible lag coming out of pretty much ANY app. did the above hack, and haven't had a redraw in since then....so maybe 4 weeks or so. so amazing. even after using a heavy app like Plants vs zombies (thanks amazon appstore) it snapped right back to the launcher.

After trying numerous launchers, I have found that all of them have the same issue... At times they appear to be laggy and not smooth. Would you or someone else mind elaborating more about what to do. An android enthusiast may feel your were in detail, but for me I am still lost

I like Zeam launcher. It's light on features compared to the other launchers, but it gives good customization for the dock and homescreens, but my favorite thing about it is how lightweight it is, runs super smooth, never crashes. I miss some features about some of the other launchers, especially what GO can do with folders, groups and renaming, but none of them are as smooth and crash-free as Zeam in my experience.

I used LP+ for the first year I had the phone. Then there seemed to be lack of support and general glitchiness. On recommendation I switched to GO. Great! I seem to see an update of GO at least a couple of times per month. The dev team really seems to be on top of it. Plus the calendar widget is great. I do not miss LP+ at all - though I thought it was the greatest thing for a long time.

I'm not sure why anyone would be happy using the stock launcher after using one of the better replacements.
