Holo Launcher (ics) Official Thread
Hi everyone!
Stumbled across this when looking for a gingerbread tw5 launcher... Enjoy!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26614474#post26614474
I think it's just the launcher with tw5 icons, as well as cool other features! Say bye to GO, ADW...
Update 6/13 Many updates for this are out!

Thanks
This looks really nice, but there's an update after you install it, so I did. If only there was a persistent search bar, then it'd definitely be perfect for me. so thanks
I tried it out but its kind of laggy when you scroll in the desktop. High quality should take care of it but it didnt for me.
thank you for this, i love it i am using it now
Looks interesting it is now on the play store as well and here is his website on XDA http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25694240

Looks pretty cool running on Inception V2.0 Back in BLack. Already Inception looked like ICS now with this launcher everyone will think you are running ICS. LOL
Halo launcher is awesome. How did i not find it sooner?

Im digging the apex launcher because it gives you options to edit the icons and put different pictures on tge icons . Like i downloaded adw ics theme by kovdev from market and was able to use the ics icon pix when tapping on an icon and hitting edit. The theme basically has a icon theme pack. I also love the animations im running the beta and it is silky smooth. It looks like i am runnin an aosp build its badasss . I also dl some galaxy nexus lw for more of a ics feel

i use nova launcer. it is very customizable and it doesn't crash. it is also very fast. i really like that you can customiza also the quick launch bar. i have the free version (it is complete, just less customizable)
still use Go Launcher EX on my ICS devices
extremely customizable
fast
and it works on all the devices
and you can't beat the price FREE!
Apex, because it's essentially SuperStock. It preserves the ICS look and feel, which I love, but it's got a ton of additional options, and the ability to backup my desktop, which makes coming back from wipes easier.
Im loving nova right now. Even the free version is very customizable.
I run that Apex Launcher best from what I have seen.

Search xda and u will find it
Apex gives me AOSP plus some more, such as hiding bloat (for free unlike nova launcher)

Should be in the market ONLY if you are running ICS
Apex cuz it has The ics feel with The widgets tab. Nova still shows The old crappy look

I can't purchase it because I'm not on ICS. gonna have to wait
Trebuchet is the best in my opinion.. nova doesn't have a true widgets tab, though I've only tried the free version. Trebuchet is after all a cyanogen launcher. I'll post a db for you in a minute sir

What's the best Ice Cream Sandwich launcher out there for the captivate glide ?(unrooted, running gingerbread 2.3.6) I've been trying to find one with the app drawer card stack animation running smoothly but haven't had much luck. I downloaded the Holo launcher but that was laggy in the app drawer. I heard that the apex launcher/nova launcher are MUCH better and bring the true stock ics feel to touchwiz but unfortunately we need ICS to get that. Any other alternatives??
Thanks
Holo Launcher has the card stack. but there's a lot of better ones on ICS>
i have been using apex launcher and love it.
Nova Launcher
Apex Launcher, hands down.
Apex w/ jellybean HD theme.

The GO Team has begun to sneak some stuff into their other apps like GO SMS...and doesn't really have that many extra features for ICS.
Nova Launcher is great ^__^
Tried Apex and Nova, and I still seemed to like GO better.
Is there an ICS-style launcher that has the edit features ADW has? I like being able to easily change an icon/name/etc for the misc apps on my homescreen, and I don't think I'd give that up just to look like ICS.

Apex. I was a long time ADW EX user and Apex is essentially ADW for ICS. The only thing it doesn't have is the desktop dots feature that I liked to use to quickly navigate screens.

She, and no, I meant an ICS-style launcher that works in our ICS leak, not an ICS-themed launcher for older versions. Sorry if I wasn't clear about that, and thanks Simba, I'll give Apex a shot.
Umk.. my bad

Ok I have been searching everywhere (probably just overlooked it) but I really want to know if there is anyway to get a ICS themed search bar in Jelly Bean. I have an all black background and the Jelly Bean search bar looks horrible (filled in grey). The ICS search bar was very clean with just boarders, it was perfect. I don't want a custom launcher, my ROM is set up perfect for my liking just want to know if there is a mod to change this. Thank you in advance.
Nova launcher. It's in the settings.

glad it worked out for you. Also, apex launcher is awesome. You will find that apex and nova are similar, but you will also find they have their fanboys who insist that one is cool and the other sucks. Both can be made to look stock and both can change the search bar to ICS.

Well IMO, Apex is better when free.
Nova is better if you pay for it because it is much more polished looking.

Ohh. gotcha! Just hit your menu button, and edit. Then you can slide the home screen one over to the left. Sorry about that! Keep in mind that Apex is also included.

Noticed that TW is 5x5, can you make an option for it to have the default 4x4 desktop? Some widgets need to be resized and others cannot.

I would say the theme will be lost when you upgrade, but we will re-theme it. We are working on a TW 4x4 and 6x6 theme and will advise when finished. You might try Nova or Apex in the meantime they have options for all of these configurations.
Looks awesome guys. Very nice job.
Good work
Good work gentlemen, good work! :good:

I was wondering if anyone has come across the transparent accuweather widget anywhere. I used to have it on my galaxy s III because I found it in a "definitive/port" thread and I thought it looked amazing. Was also wondering if someone could cook something up for me since I have no clue on how to do it. Thanks in advance.
