I need a launcher that is very customizable like ADW or GoLauncher. I tried both of them and for some reason they both had the same problem; when the screen rotates to landscape it jumps to the far right screen instead of staying on the screen I'm on.
Does anyone have any good launchers that are working properly on ICS? I also tried Nova launcher but its not customizable enough. I'm going to try launcher pro now and will report back if it works.
OK so I tried LauncherPro and same problem. This led me to investigate and I beleive I narrowed it down to the calendar widget. No matter what screen I'm on, when I rotate screen it automatically jumps to the screen with the calendar widget. Annoying...
you gotta give devs some time to adjust to the screen/ics etc. I would play around with the current flashable ones and wait for a major update that brings lots of customization options
ps have you tried adw ex?
I use adw ex.works flawlessly.I prefer stock though,its awesome!

Go works fine.
Go has always been my first choice. However, now with the Gnex and having folders pop down from the Top of the screen has made accessing apps really difficult with one hand. Because of that one issue, I went to Adw Launcher. That works great too.
Been using ADW Ex since day 1. Working flawlessly
After using ADW it's impossible to go back to anything else....
Ultimately I'd like the stock ICS with rotation and that stupid Google search removed but until the mods on here have their bugs ironed out I’m using GO.
My only bad point on GO is scrollable widgets you have to pause your finger on them a sec then scroll. (Is there a setting in there to fix this?) I like the stock responsiveness where you can swing between screens and flick apps around instantly.

I started using it on day 2 . With only one home screen, one clock, one weather widget, a 5 icons dock and three folders, I'm done.
I'm using Nova launcher, it's stock with a very nice twist.
GO completely locked me up and caused reboots to the point that i had to reimage back to stock.

Zeam Launcher is the best!

Another Vote for Nova
I really like the ICS experience, and Nova allows me to keep that with options (including backup via Titanium & homescreen rotation)

Yup, been using Nova since last night. Takes something good and makes it great.
I used LPP on my OG, DX, DX2, RAZR cuz no matter what I did the stock Moto launcher was always a bit laggy. I kept the modded Rosie on my TB cuz it looked lol. And Nowthe GNex ICS launcher was almost perfect to me until Nova came along

Caveat: This is by no means meant as a disrespect to the amazing devs behind ADW, LP and Go EX.
when I got my hands on the GN, i was hooked on to the Android 4.0 look and feel. Previously alternative launchers were needed because (a) Android used to be ugly and (b) stock widgets sucked.
All that has changed now. I cannot bring myself to use anything but the stock launcher. However, I WILL like it if (a) I can utilize the space occupied by the stupid Google widget - its not a widget at all but a shortcut, a complete waste of space and (b) homescreens would be increased from 5. All those wonderful widgets need more space.
I don't want to root, although I have a feeling CM9 will have what I am asking for. In the meantime, I am testing out Nova.
Hi I've got a stock GSM GNexus with software v4.0.2 and tried to install Nova Launcher in order to have more screens with Widgets installed. But as soon as the Nova Launcher is launched and I try to switch back to stock launcher, the Stock Launcher just keep crashing and nothing seems to respond unless I switch right back to Nova. Even when I force close the Stock Launcher,it doesn't stop the problem. What do I do to make both launchers run side by side? Cheers

Dear all,
I want to learn that how can I add or remove additional homescreen pages from Galaxy Nexus. There is no information about this even google. Before there was an icon for displaying all homescreen pages and you could add or remove new homepages.
Thanks,
What launcher are you using?
If the answer is stock you cannot add or remove pages.
you cant add or remove homescreens on the stock launcher
if you want to do that, you need to install a third-party launcher from the market
I have tried Nova launcher which works pretty well and is based off of the stock ICS launcher
I am using original firmware, not custom rom and it is pure ICS. What do you advice to me for modifying homescreen pages,
Regards,
Since you're bone stock you really only have the option of using another launcher i.e. nova, apex (they use the resources from and function just like the stock launcher with added options) or adw, go, lp+ and many others. If you end up on a deodexed rom then you have the option of editing the "stock" launcher yourself By reading this.
good day.
Thank you very much for your replies and advices, I installed Nova launcher and i can organize them now.
Thanks again.
How is Nova? I'm currently on adw ex and was eyeing the "tsf shell" does Nova live up to the test?

I have decided after three days to give the stock launcher a chance once again to use after having used the action launcher 3. When I use the stock launcher it takes a long while to load from getting out of using an app and shows a blank screen for 5 seconds. Why is this issue occuring?
Hasn't happened for me. Stock Launcher seems very fast.

I have found the problem. The problem is to why I encounter that js because when you get the icon pack of your choice for the theme of launcher is when the launcher gets that way.
I'm currently using Asus Launcher at the moment but I tried downloading Apex Launcher. But I have some problem with the widget with apex. Apex is working properly but I have some widget on the home screen which won't survive reboots. Everytime I set up my home screen with a few widgets, after reboot, all the widgets disappears, leaving only the Google Search bar (which came out of the box when I first ran apex before configuring it). I tried nova but this won't happen.
The reason I chose apex over nova is because of the double tap gesture in the free version of apex.
Can anyone test it out and see if the problem exist with you too?
