Launcher is just the stock Android launcher and twlauncher is TouchWiz

I tried switching to launcher and it was taking too long so I cancled it, how long does your phone take to switch

It has to set it up for the first time mines took about 45 sec I believe. And the stock launcher is not all that bad. Really smooth as well!

Stock ics launcher

I will be using the supernova launcher and from what I read it doesn't have the stock ics launcher
Where can I find it or can I take it from another rom? What about KB launcher for ics?

Have you tried using the regular launcher? If you are rooted, you can run Homesmack (or equivalent) to set the default away from touchwiz? (TW). I have been very happy with the stock launcher after switching from twlauncher.
apex launcher is so good imo and so many customizations. not as many as asay Go launcher but its not as bloated either.
Is it in supernova?

Req for TW Launcher with centered app icon

Earlier today my TW launcher somehow moved the app icon from furthest right to 2nd from right, and after some fiddling on my end, to the middle. I backed up my apps on TB and full phone on TWRP and after reboot the app icon was back to its original spot. Also back on the same spot after restoring my backup, clearing cache, etc. So it seems though that this is plausible.... is anyone able to decipher how to make this permanent to TW?

This and having the app drawer scroll through widgets and apps together like the stock launcher would be nice

Apex
You could always switch to something like Apex Launcher... Much more customizable in those respects.
I actually like touchwiz...I used nova before and the smoothnes just doesn't match with stock.

Yeah I'm glad i'm not the only one that likes touchwiz. I love it. It so smooth
But this mod would be very nice I'll try to see if I can figure out something
EDIT: There is a way but it's a lot more complicated then it's worth..

Nova Launcher, Apex Launcher or Stock?

I'm wondering which launcher to use on my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747. So I'm considering either Nova or Apex. I like how Nova Is more customizable but Apex has more functions. I also like the stock Touchwiz theme. Which launcher should I use? Also can anyone suggest any other launchers besides GO Launcher EX.
I personally use nova and I love it. It's fast and smooth.

I also use Nova but have been trying Next Launcher for the past couple days and I like it so far for it being in the early stages.

You should try ADW Launcher.It's one of the first, and it's come a long way.

Nova prime mostly, but sometimes go back to apex they're both great

I have 3 launchers set up which I swap between depending what I'm doing. I use Nova occasionally whilst driving. The gestures make it very easy to quickly open apps with one hand. I use TouchWiz daily for the S-Planner widget, which only works on TouchWiz. When I feel creative or get an idea for a UI I use sslauncher, which gives gridless design possibilities, overlapping widgets and resizable icons and the ability to have different wallpapers on every page. I use "Home chooser pro" to swap.
+1 for ADW! I use the paid version personally, and I love it.
I used apex for the longest time but recently switched to nova and love it.

One of the first things I did was to install Nova Prime on my S3.
Nova. Nuff said.

I switched to Nova because ADW was dead. Now it's back. Not sure I'll switch back to it.

ADW EX, and nova are my favorite. I like ADW EX because you can scale the size of your icons.

I use Nova Launcher and I love it. From my experience it is much smoother than the stock launcher.

I used ADW Ex for the longest time and thought it was great but switched to Holo HD and have been super happy with it since.

Holo Launcher HD Pro
I've used Holo HD before and didn't like it. What are the best features?

themes on stock rom

can you use themes on the stock os?
I believe only if you use a replacement home launcher, such as go launcher, adw and so on.

GO Launcher

I always used to hate GO Launcher. It was a nice idea but it ran so slow. On the beast of a phone though I may have a new favorite launcher.
