I made a patch that changes the transition animations when opening and closing apps to the one from ICS. I hated how laggy the close animation is especial in portrait mode. The jellybean switching between two apps animation is still there. The recents one is as well. Trebuchet still uses the open animation as that seems to be coded into the launcher. It used the Ics animation when closing an app or hitting the home button which was the one that was generally laggy with the jellybean animation. Nova launcher has the option to use the ICS transition when opening apps. This patch extends that to make it across the entire operating system and not just the launcher.

Yeah, I don't know why Google switched the opening and closing animation. The close one is really laggy.

Apex with Tablet UI is working out great for me , Tablet UI should have been Nexus default layout.

I'm using Apex and it's working really well for me. I don't see anything options in the settings for a Tablet UI, so I'm a little confused by your comment. Does Apex automatically use a Tablet UI versus a phone UI on the N7 or....?

You need to set the Tablet ui in the build.prop file.

Hey guys, I am running liquid smooth beta for the jelly bean ROM. I usually use nova launcher, but I like the swipe up to remove apps because I do change my apps a lot but now I use the default launcher.
I notice that there is a gap between the dock and the apps on the home screen on the default launcher that is not present on nova, and it is a huge bother for me.
I need some way to close the gap so it looks like nova, please help.

Had my Nexus for a few weeks now and love it. On my phone I use Nova launcher since the AOSP launcher doesn't allow for more than 5 screens by default. However the nexus allows up to 7. So what launcher are you using and why? Customization? Lack of options? Layout preferences? Do you see any lag from stock launcher versus app launcher? Let's hear it!

I am using ilauncher right now, just to troll people with an iPad look and mini iPad thing.
It's actually quite nice and mimics iOS quite closely.

Go on all 3 of my devices. Just can't change much on stock.
Have grid set at 10x7 for great icon placement
Multi-picture Live WP works well
Custom WP for app drawer
Lots of Font options
Hide notification bar
Great transitions

Just watched a video on iLauncher. Pretty slick launcher. Too bad I don't like clutter but it would be fun screwing with all the iHeads.
I use Apex on my Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 7. I run my N7 in tablet mode and I like how Apex works. It is very simple and elegant. On my N7 I up the grid to 5x8 or more. This allows more icon and widget placements on the screen at once. Apex and Nova are pretty similar with each having their own strengths and weaknesses.

Depuis ma Nexus 7.
Defo Apex Launcher 1.3 beta
Based on JB source so you get all the new JB stuff (butter, auto moving icons, auto resizing widgets) plus all the apex customization.
Not yet 100% stable, but probs like 95%, hardly ever crashes and even when it does it just starts up again in a few seconds..

+1 for Nova Launcher
I've been playing with Apex again and things I just can't seem to tweak that I like in GO:
1. Dock size (too tall). Screen icon grid has a row along bottom "under" the dock. Can accidentally "lose" an app down there. Puts first row of shortcuts much higher.
2. No settings button (lower right), you have to have a separate screen button.
3. No font options (that I could find)
4. No auto close/kill apps in app drawer
5. Not nearly the number of transition options
6. Can't seem to find the "unread" count mentioned in their description (for Gmail or K9), GO works great.
After creating one screen as "identical" as possible, I really see nothing any smoother in Apex. I find you can just do more with GO and make it look better (which is all in the eye of the beholder).
So far it seems apex and stock are the winners....going to try apex and see if it is as fluid as stock. Any screen lag, though minimal, ruins tablet usage (not as big a deal on a phone since screen is smaller).

One more vote for Apex, didn't notice any lag, crashed maybe 3-4 times in over a month. One feature that hasn't been mentioned yet, but I consider very important: HIding apps from the drawer is available in the free version, wouldn't want to use a launcher without that.
I run Apex on all my devices.
There's really not a lot in it between Nova and Apex. Go just feels bloated and it's always trying to sell you other Go apps (I'd only use it to get the LCARS theme ) Lightning Launcher is an interesting idea but just a bit too different to be comfortable.

Nova on all my devices
viewsonic g-tab running jelly bean
transformer prime running jelly bean
evo lte running viper rom
and the nexus7 running stock with tablet ui.
It always seems to be smoother then apex for me. And I typically only like to use 3 screens. Thats the main reason, and the second is that it looks stock just provides all the added functionality.
What does everyone use for launchers? Any one have a good minimalistic theme? I'm running xylon11

Only "stock" launcher I use on GNex
I really really like nova. I know some have mixed opinions about it but it serves Me well. Also I just started making custom wallpapers for xylon . I go pretty minimal. One screen and folders with circle click widget and Bob click and nice wallpaper. That's about all I can say on that topic.

I use Nova Launcher Prime. the customization level is very high and I like a lot the gesture function toghether with the ROM actions ..
Maybe the negative thing is the ram occupation.
I'm using silky smooth Xperia launcher. But usually ADW Ex. It is amazing. He just updated maybe 2 months ago. Very tablety.

LG stock launcher is very good, smooth and beautiful.
Gpro home button is difficult to press.
but when activate softkey for my gpro, dockbar is overlap bottom app row.
so i looking for the smoothest launcher and support softkey, I realy love softkey.
sorry for my bad english.
Sent from my LG-F240S using xda app-developer
I've found Nova Launcher to be the best in terms of both performance and accommodating of the altered screen dimensions when using soft keys. Some others like Holo and Apex handle the soft key bar fine in portrait mode, but do some odd things in landscape orientation that case icons and widgets to overlap. Nova works flawlessly for all scenarios.

try apex launcher. its smooth and supports themes too
Just to add more confusion, I am a huge fan of Action Launcher. There are some things that I wish it did differently, but I love the slideout application tray.

For $15.99? No thanks.
Nova does well for what you're asking. It also seems smoother to me compared to other home screen replacements. Apex has a nifty tablet mode built in but I'm not sure if it merges the status bar + nav keys at the bottom.
