"Task Killer" should be a Con.

Y would u say that?..

I’m into the comments of battery friendliness, but the description doesn’t mention additional home pages like LP has, something I now gotta have.

Because task killers work against the system, eventually bogs it down and causes the phone to eat more battery. Let the system take care of itself. Normal running Android is supposed to eat up 90% of RAM because its how its designed. It will run faster and eat less battery that way.

Don't ever install task killers unless you are running an ancient phone still on Android 1.6 or below.

Its not actually a task killer..just a way to kill apps IF U WANT TO..it doesnt effect d overall system..try it n u wil not regret it..

 

[chanchan05]

A task killer is an app that allows you to kill apps if you want to. Its the same. Its still a minus point because its there, as tendency some people would be toying around with it and may end up killing apps. Its actually also something bad to say against Go Launcher since they have that feature as well.

I did not say I did not want to try the launcher, but that feature is still something that should be considered as bad, not good.

 

[tanj2011]

Point noted..try dis launcher n make a review n also post abt other new or different launchers..

 

[chanchan05]

Tried it. Not good. Its ugly, and I can't customize the shortcuts to use my own icons as easily as I could with Go Launcher. I also can't customize the way the app drawer scrolls (there's no option in the settings), and doesn't work any faster or smoother than Go Launcher on my phone. Overall, the only improvement I can see it has over the stock Samsung launcher is 5 icons on the dock instead of 4, other than that and themes, its not a big improvement over just using the stock Tw.

I have to agree with chanchan05 on this. You have to go back to the drawing board. If you are going to compete with Go Launcher or the others you are going to have to add a feature that sets you apart from the others. I wouldn't choose this over any other launcher. Plus the (stock) icons it uses on the home screen shouldn't use the ones I already have. I will be looking forward to updates. Good Luck.

 

[tanj2011]

If u see it from a different view, every popular launcher out there usually has d some of what d other launcher has, and as the name suggests, its a new kid..appreciate ur reviews though..but do try it out after the new updates..

@chachan there is a option 2 change d way d app list scroll vertically or horizontally as well as change the grid side..

 

[chanchan05]

Tell me when it has all the features that Launcher Pro has.... And that thing hasn't been updated in over a year. Maybe I'll consider trying it again after that.

So far the only reason I can see that you can say its lighter than the others because you can't really customize it and has too few features.

Android 2.1 > has a built-in task killer.

You don't need another app for that.

Simply ditch it.

Again nemus doesnt effect anything..

I was speaking of the damned Task killers, dear comrade.

Having an easy way of killing an app or two through the launcher isn't a bad feature. I use ADW EX and use the "Manage" shortcut to shut down the Amazon Appstore when I'm not using it because it keeps giving me those notificationsthat I have new apps I can install. I know I have more apps to install, but I don't care to...so I force close the Amazon Appstore.

Holy Christ, man! I hope English isn't your native language.

Anyway, downloading the launcher now. From the screenshots available, I kinda like it.

 

[HJAcevedo]

Eh, it's not a bad launcher. If I gave it a shot and customized it, I'm sure I would enjoy it. But, for now, I'm sticking to stock.

 

[tanj2011]

Its d fatest launcher..jst keep on promoting it..

 

[tanj2011]

Guys d new update is here..v1.6.1

[tanj2011]

[justtom]

still not worth the switch.sticking with Go Launcher

We allow a lot of latitude here.

If you want user feedback, fine, accept it. I would recommend not arguing with people and I would certainly recommend using whole words. English is an official language in India and there is no reason to use txt abbreviations here.

Work with people and they will work with you.

Can someone please explain the pro's & con's of using another launcher compared to a stockk one? How does one select it or get things back to normal after finding you dont like the new launcher? Im not new to the EVO but usually stick with stock apps and was wondering what all te hub bub is about when it comes to using a different launcher app. Thanks in advance and be safe out there.
