Android: Open source alternative home screen launcher ADWLauncher is one of our favorite home screen replacements on Android, and the developers have just released a premium version with tons of new animations, tweaks, and a desktop preset feature.

ADWLauncher was already a great app for those that liked to customize the look and feel of their Android phones, and ADWLauncher EX takes it even further by adding five different app drawer styles, eight different desktop transition animations, and icon customization features. It even has a few presets that let you change all these things on-the-fly. Plus, it has all the features of the original ADWLauncher, like themes and extra layout options. It also features some code improvements that noticeably increase the speed, even on older phones—even if you're a LauncherPro fan, this might be one to check out.

ADWLauncher EX Adds Lots of Eye Candy, Desktop Presets to ADWLauncher

ADWLauncher EX is a $3.30 download for Android phones. ADWLauncher is still free, and much of the underlying code of both projects will sync between the two, so you don't need to worry about either becoming outdated yet. Hit the QR code to check it out.
