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.

I agree, go launcher is awesome very customizable. and if you want widgets get color widgets in the market for facebook, contacts etc.
Im using the ADW with the ICS icons.
This is a massive bit of personal opinion war waiting to happen. Personally, I've used lpp for awhile now and have tried the others but never been really satisfied.

I really like Launcher Pro's option to hide apps from the drawer but like options from other launchers. Is there any other launcher that can hide apps?
Getting ready to try Lpp now. Thanks for the replies.

GO launcher is the first I've tried, but I really like it. It's very customizable.
I still have to try out the others... But I've decided that landscape and slick animated transitions are must-have features for me after using GO launcher.
Sent from my Galaxy S II using Tapatalk.
I was a long time user of Launcher Pro but recently switched to go launcher. It really can do everything LPP can do and more. Widgets are.... different.... I don't think one has a widget advantage on the other but I'm sure many will disagree with me. Go launcher has plently of easy to assemble custom themes where launcher pro you really have to change things manually. Go launcher lets you do that also. I felt Launcher pro ran smoother on my evo4g but on my gsII go launcher runs awesome
sorry Zeam launcher is the best in my opinion, very sleek and it has just enough options to make it great.

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.

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...

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.

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>

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.

Hello all. I've been using nova launcher for a long time and I've been irritated a little because nova is not a complete replica of the stock android launcher (android 4.2). What I mean is, it looks similar but the spacing of the icons are not right (which I am able to adjust through nova settings) and the folder when opened its too close to the edge of my screen. Is there any other launcher that can possibly give me the closest feel to stock launcher apart from the stock launcher itself?
Thanks

Except it's not. The icons are at the top of their "areas" so there's a large gap at the bottom and almost none at the top. Changing the spacing affects both, so they are never even. Widgets seems to work properly. This has always bothered me about nova.
