Don't forget Go Launcher EX and all the ICS launchers in the market. Look for the ICS launcher made by ACS. That one is very good.
Mi nuh tek intimidation...

Without a doubt, GoLauncher EX! Then get yourself GoSmS Pro and GoKeyboard with all the plug-ins. Go Launcher has a pretty nice ICS theme...
Edit: You can always youtube these recommended launchers to help give you a better idea.
Here's a link to a GoLauncher video

Zeam Launcher is supposed to be the fastest.

I recommend go launcher ex it's fast and has a lot of themes

You know, I have to admit, Go Launcher LOOKS great... but I *ALWAYS* have a lag when swiping from screen to screen.
I never seem to get screen lag with ADW or Launcher Pro.
I like the stock ICS launcher, actually.

hmmmm. I experience no lag. Wasn't a big fan of ADW (maybe just too many cm7 roms) I was a big LP guy for the longest time, wouldn't give anything else a chance. Then I made the switch to GLEX. This runs on all of my devices...

On gb I liked tw launcher
On ics I'm using move because the pics version is missing a few features (choosing home screen and alphebeyical app drawer)

ICS Launchers Opinion

Which one do you prefer and why?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

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.

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

[Q] Favorite launcher E4GT

What is your favorite launcher to use on the E4GT. I want to grab one from the market but would like to get some pros/cons first.
Hoping to try one and stick to it for a long time as I hate having to set up my phone multiple times.

Apex and nova are both really good. I've been using apex since ics came out and have no complaints. Lots of custom goodies.

yea I think I am narrowing it down to those 2...trying to decide if Nova has any advantages over Apex

Apex for sure! Nova makes you pay for a lot of the features that Apex gives you for free.
Another fun one (off-market) is LG Launcher. You can't get it in the market though. http://db.tt/FLxRHthI
Only problem with it is you can't sort your apps alphabetically...

Im using the lg x3 launcher on CM9. I like it a lot.

My ROM comes with Apex but you can download others as well. I really like this launcher for speed, response and it's customizable. Good luck... I'm sure you will gay a variety of opinions.

I like Nova better but it's prolly cause I have used it more. I kept trying Apex for a day here and there but forsoem reason kept going back to Nova Prime(paid).
To be honest, I think if I had tried Apex first things might be different. I would go for Apex first and see if you can poke any holes in it.

If you go to the Blu Kuban ROM page, look at the video made by VeNuM. The apex launcher is on the video and you get a good idea of how it works. Pretty cool video to!

What home replacement is everyone using these days?

I am still on ADW EX. It's still pretty good but with no updates looks to have been abandoned.
What is everyone else using? One thing I am looking for is a home replacement with 6 custom dock slots. As I have 6 things (phone, contacts, google voice, google talk, messages, email) that I always want available to me.

Well.. there is a lot of launchers out there.
I myself try to remain stock, like on cm9 trebucht I mod the dock by to represent sense 4.
Honestly I don't really like them anymore but it still is a decent launcher and thats Go Launcher.
I believe there is a launched thread here somewhere in xda. Might have to dig a bit, most launchers designed before and after GB have pretty much stopped. Either they were in too deep or just stopped working on it.
I'd love to use honeycomb launcher but unfortunately syndicate is a horrible development team, they are slow with updates and usually never fix the bugs.

I still love go launcher ex. I just recently went back to sense because of a new touch of blue install, but still using go on my Toshiba thrive.
Sent from my ADR6300 using Tapatalk 2

For ics, nothing beats apex.
Adw for gb, adw ex just had an update in dec. Just my two cents, I can't handle sense, so slow and boring. Go seems to be a resource hog. For miui, I like ftl launcher, gives you an app button and it still themes the apps.
Sent from my Incredible using xda app-developers app

GO is what I use. They have lots of options and update constantly...sometimes too constantly.

My current favorite is Holo Launcher. It's pretty much of a newcomer, but it's pretty lightweight, good and fast, and gives a great ICS experience on a Gingerbread ROM. It has a scrolling dock with up to 7 items per dock page.

I use nova.. apex lags for me

Sidnese which
On Gingerbread I use Go Launcher EX and on ICS I use Apex Launcher.

haha soo true. I used GO launcher back on my tablet when it was stuck on honeycomb, cuz the stock launcher was horribly slow, but I love the ICS launcher, so i was on that

I'm on Go Launcher EX. Has never lagged for FC'ed yet...no issues.

With Go Launcher can I set 6 custom dock icons?

I'm still rocking LPP. I like it. I have 5 static icons and 5 swipe actions as well using those icons. It still works fine for me.

Yes. Latest version of Go Launcher Ex allows for this customization.

On GB, I used Go Launcher w/ ICS Theme, and on ICS, I usually use what's built in - usually being Trebuchet. Apex comes with AOKP builds/milestones, and seems pretty reliable - just like Trebuchet. I don't think there's that much of difference, because ICS is just so damn sexy out of the box. xD

Seems so - pretty sure you can have scrolling docks with both Go and ADW. I think they both support folders too.

adw for now
Go launcher for a while, but just haven't put it back on yet.

I use Zeam Launcher; it's lightweight, configurable enough, and fairly no-frills (which for me is a big plus).

go launcher

Right now i'm running the stock launcher for CM10 on mine (albino's build)

Gonna be a dirty boy and Double post. I just switched to Nova Launcher. On Albinoman's 4.1 rom for the Dinc it's buttery smooth in any animation setting. I tried Go-launcher, but I got overwhelmed by all the tie-ins it tried to make me do "go launcher widget, go launcher theme, go launcher icons" etc. Nova seems to strike a good balance between basic'ness and customization/animation.

Which launcher do you use?

i know, i know, this has probably been asked a million times, but i'm directing this to S3 users here in our little corner of the world, please don't hate
i've been using the holo launcher hd pro now for some time and i truly love the way it works. its smooth, elegant, doesnt get in the way, and best off all, gives me an AOSP look and feel when running a non-AOSP rom. i also use the holo locker as well. i use this launcher on both my S3 and my Xoom tablet
it seems to me that the holo launcher doesnt get enough respect. i see many a custom rom that includes nova or apex, but not holo (or even adw or go launchers for that matter).
when i search for "launcher" on the play store the first five results are in order GO, ADW, Nova, Apex, and Launcher 7, with Nova Prime and Apex Pro 6th and 7th.
Holo is on the first page of results, but is second from the bottom. hardly respectable if you ask me. there are themes that show up higher in that search
anyway, so lets keep it civil and not bash on each others choice of launcher. i just want to get a feel for how popular these launchers are on the S3 or do you prefer the stock TouchWiz interface?
let your voice be heard and vote above!

why do you think that? launchers are apps.

My favorite one is the one that gets launched when i press the home button

I use nova prime because of the folders in the app drawer. Go launcher is too heavy.

I use the stock TouchWiz one, but when I root it I use LGUI3.0 It's so much better, and gives you alot more customization options than TouchWiz. I think TouchWiz is so bland...

I was surprised to see that the default launcher with CM10 doesn't have a back-up function. I switched back to ADW because I was familiar with it from CM7. I also missed the infinite scroll feature that's available in ADW (and some of the others).

have you tried holo launcher at all? i just did a test and it does use about 59mg of ram where as apex shows as cached and ready when you need it, so from that, it seems that apex is much lighter on resources, but i still really love holo, you should try it
