lightest launcher program - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I'm running the nexus at normal speeds 1.2max - what launcher do you guys prefer? I'm not huge into tweaking so a few options would be nice but I'm more concerned with the launcher running snappy

apex or nova are the better

I vote Nova. If you go to the settings and get the beta version (1.3b5 at the time of writing) it's even better, with the Jelly bean code rewrite same as Apex.

Holo Launcher HD + Holo Launcher Plus. Works great for me without being too over the top with customizations. Always runs snappy for me as well. No problems.

+1 for Apex

If you're not into customizing and want just light and fast launcher, just go with stock.

Probably Nova

I'm using Nova Launcher and enjoying so far. I didn't try other launchers yet.
And i'm not into tweaking that much either. I'm all stock running Jelly Bean 4.1.1 and rooted. That's all

I bought apex, tsf, and adw but all I use is golauncher. It is the smoothest one of them all for me.

But I have Holo HD and love it, is simple and fast

Question: other than a nice UI and all, whats the benefit of using a nova or apex launchers? More free ram? Faster?
If its sits on top of stock doesn't just collect more ram? If so can one replace the launcher completely?

Stock is the fastest of all if you only care about speed.
Other than that Nova and Apex are almost as fast too(specially Nova), but with customizing options

Atom Launcher.

Nova no doubt. It is way faster than stock if you remove the animations. It gives you the option to speed up/down the animations and transitions and by that you can make the phone blazing fast.

I have used both Apex and Nova.. and Nova is the one I like the best

Zeam is probably the most lightweight

Which ics exclusive apps are there or are recommended?

There's a plethora of launchers like nova, apex, trebuchet, that only work on ics. Also chrome beta is only available on ics.

Launcher
Lp sense Ui is great and highly customisable and Go launcher has also got many features and transistions but can be buggy but you can actually overclock (ask me about this is you wasnt any help) and go to 900mhz which might make it better!!
Holo launcher is beautiful but not smooth

[REQUEST] TouchWiz clock and widget

OK, don't flame with stuff like why do I want it on a nexus device - you are boring, Android is popular for being customisable.
So, any of this available, as an app or better a widget - awesome, thanks in advance!

i have next launcher now but every time i press my home button it goes to the stock launcher :| and it has to load every time i come out of an app
Try to set the default launcher - next launcher, it is somewhere in phone settings or it might be in launcher settings too.
