Best Android Launcher

[Cs342]

hi guys, I'm running Cyanogenmod 10.1 and the launcher that comes with it is really slow and laggy. Could you please recommend some launchers that are both fast and easily customized? Thanks!

I really like Nova, it's quick, easy and very customize-able.

When I use Nova my notification pulldown is really choppy, just like the Cyanogen launcher. I have no idea why but it doesn't happen on other launchers

What phone do you have? It's running perfectly smoothly on my phone.

I love action launcher, it's different in the sense that in stead of having a button to access your app drawer, you just swipe from the left side of the screen and get a list. However it lacks the customization options of the nova launcher and trebuchet launcher featured in cyanogen.

It shouldn't be choppy at all, especially with the spec of your phone. Something isn't right.

I use Apex, not the best though

nova runs very smoothly, but it's just when i pull down the notification screen. The pull down process is very choppy and the notification bar isn't smooth as it drops down. This ONLY happens when I am on the Nova launcher home screen. When I swipe down in any other apps, it is buttery smooth.

I have a habit of changing launchers often. In reality my stock HTC sense 5 is probably the best. But apex and nova are good. And if you want something a bit More different, try smart launcher.

I have a similar problem on my Transformer tablet running Paranoid Android with Nova, but it's very smooth on my S3 running PA. Nova is the best in terms of features, closely followed by Apex. I find Apex to be a slightly less fluid experience though. You can try other launchers like Go or ADW, the only way to know which performs the best on your phone is to try them.

Smart Launcher, it is very simplistic and responsive.
