Android Phone Launcher

So, I recently took my phone in for repairs (issues with the battery and SD Card), and was informed by the tech that Go Launcher and all GO software/apps aren't very good. I'm not really a fan of the stock Samsung launcher, although i could get used to it if it's going to be the best for me to keep the phone running smooth and to decrease on battery consuption.
I have a Samsung Galaxy SII through Sprint...
Should i just use the stock launcher/messanger system, or is there a good launcher program that i should be using?

Thanks for the feeback!

I can't remember what I used to use. I would have to look back in my downloads on Google Play.

ah ah ah, should of bought a Nexus, lol, j/k.

Well, the one I was using wouldn't work anyways. It has to be on Jelly Bean. And don't listen to any tech guy at a phone company. They are all full of shit.

I know that there are a bunch of free launchers out there. Just can't remember what I used on my HTC EVO cause that was so long ago.

I would flash it with CM 10 and go from there. I never really got into the modding of phones cause I liked stock Android. Search around for launchers on Google Play. Grab a couple and see what ya think. That's what I would do.

This is the best place to go for info on android phones.

that one is for the sII

I just use the stock Jelly Bean launcher on my Galaxy Nexus, it's fantastic.

If you want a good launcher, download Nova Launcher or Holo Launcher.
