I love this launcher. Worth the money. However, I HATE how restoring configurations completely fubars all your widgets. Why implement a feature if it does the job half-assed? Other than that one thing, the app is great.

The first pic is a tablet photo. No lag at all its actually really fast. Go to settings and adjust the speed. Its great with no lag. I'm rooted so It may help since I can adjust processor speed etc. Its a great launcher that came with cm7 so I had to support Dev. Excellent job.

Absolutely the best...

Works perfectly with everything I throw at it, with fluid performance on old & new phones. Exemplary development. Tried the rest- this IS the best.

It works great. Not a get straight to it app takes a while to find things out but good. Would be better if you could add a big phone widget

Love the feel of it needs some improvements

Some of my Samsung apps that use to communicate right from the desktop don't do it any more. for example the social hub app doesn't tell me anymore the number of emails I have unread. That being said the app is great and has great potential. Still getting the hang of it but is easy enough to be familiar with it in no time. Good for tabs and phone!

Best launcher out there hands down

ADWLauncher is Awesome! only one thing stops it from being 5 star is every time I gesture up my main dock goes from 3 to 5 with one shortcut being messages and the other 4 being the app drawer. Only way to get it to go back is to restart my phone. LG Revolution

Best all around

I have tried other options around... This was a close choice, but ADW is the best customizable and still very fluid and stable.

Smoother infinite scroll

The best launcher out right now. There's plenty of customization to suit your needs. Although the infinite scroll transition could be much smoother.

Very good.

If you like ADW EX, this is a must. Many more cusomisations, plus the transitions are WAY smoother on my Galaxy S2 than ADW did - the code must really be improved. It could still be better though: SUGGESTIONS FOR DEV: (1) Bring back the hold-with-2-fingers-and-tilt method of moving a widget/shortcut to a different homescreen (like on default interface). (2) let us drag one widget/shortcut to another to swap their locations (3) let us import settings from ADW without manually renaming the settings files.
