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)

ADW EX on GB
Nova on ICS
Go Launcher Ex (for now)
360 laucher is pretty dam amazing fast too with a bunch of transitions
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1345601
and it works great with just about every rom i have used
Just installed Sandvolts ICS rom 4.1.5 and i am amazed at the amount of customization that has gone into it
I am posting as when i went into the installer it was asking me which launcher i wanted
in the end i thought i would start by trying Nova
I just am asking to find out what is everyone who uses ics what is your favorite launcher and why?
I use Nova launcher. Can't complain.
I 2nd Nova! great features and cant go wrong Other than Nova i do like Apex launcher aswell

Okay Nova Launcher is nice, but after some testing I have to say that Launcher Pro works better (overall best launcher for Android imho).

Meh x1000000
The dev hasn't updated it in over a year, it's now an abandoned project. Also GOLauncher has a lot more features and widgets. (still use Nova though )

If the app works fine, why should there be an update?
And these features you mention, I do not miss anything in LP, so who cares?
If Nova is as smooth as LP for me, I would change. But in the moment, no chance.
Apex
For me the best is apex smooth, stable

Same here, found no problems with Apex. Though, if you read the Sandroid thread there are a few having issues with the update but suspect this could be localised due to none full wipes and personalised settings...
Nova work pretty good for me. I use it with ICS by Sandvold
Another vote for Nova! ")
I find Apex is really lightweight, stable and smooth, and offers more customization than the free version of Nova.
+1 Apex Launcher, at least for now

To me LP feels way outdated in comparison to ICS. Yeah it's smoother, but I miss the search bar from ICS, the in drawer widgets, old animations, and the app drawer in ICS (or any palignated drawer) is a lot easier to navigate, using "menu" is back like it was in GB...
It feels like taking ICS, tearing a big hole in it and then patching it up with GB.
Nova Launcher! Seems to be the fastest in Sandvold's ICS Rom.
According my experience in using ICS by Sandvoid, both stock launcher and apex are smooth
may be stock is more stable
Apex, because it's smooth and stable.
Hi guys,
I'm looking for some suggestions for a replacement launcher. I've been using CM7.2 on my wildfire for a while, and I love it, but the included ADW launcher is just a bit laggy.
I've tried Launcher Pro, and its almost perfect, except that it keeps giving me FCs, and its not been developed for a while now.
Lightning Launcher is supposed to be smooth and light, but I can't get it to work, just a black screen.
Zeam seems ok, but isn't quite as smooth as Launcher Pro, plus no scrolling widgets.
The things I'm looking for is something smooth and lightweight, and if it can support scrollable widgets, then even better.
Can anyone offer suggestions?
I used ADW... And it was OK then... Check your Over/Underclocking settings (This could make your phone smoother to run... You can use RAM Manager (from PlayStore) also to manage RAM. Cheers.
Buy ADWex or holo launcher is similar.if you search around there is a thread of all launchers.
MokeeOS
ok, as for my overclock / underclock settings, I'm running stock speeds, and using the SmartAssV2 governor. My aim is to make the phone smooth, and get a good battery life from it.
Is ADWex faster than ADW standard?
Try Nova Launcher or Trebuchet, I prefer Trebuchet.
Sweeterhome is also another!
I thought Nova and Trebuchet were for ICS+?

You are right, they're for ICS and up
I prefer launcherpro, It's the fastest with the best customization
It's not FC on my wildfire, I'm using LeWaOS ROM.
It wasn't FC also when i was using CM7.2
Did you try fixing permissions from recovery ??

Nemus launcher serves good as well.

I totally forgot about that, I'll give it a try!
Thanks for all your suggestions.
I'm also going to give all these other launchers a try.
Also, I made a mistake earlier. FTL Launcher was the one that I couldn't get to work at all, not Lightning.
Any others worth a go? I found an english translation of 360 Launcher that I'm going to give a try also.

The right settings are the settings that work best for you/ the rom your using/your rom setup and your screen set up! So as you can see......it would be stupid of me to say "these are the right settings " because we all have our own preferences. Just play around until you find your best setup with any launcher you use.
MokeeOS
+1 for ADW EX launcher,used to think launcher pro was smoothest but with ADW EX I can get that smoothness with right setting and loads of customization options,where launcher pro falls short.ADW EX is the best launcher IMO!
I only tried preinstalled launchers on roms (aka integrated) and I can say that ADW's the best :good:
LOL now you made me think of readding ADW launcher to LeWaOS ROM

I'd say use either Trebuchet or LauncherPro for ICS
I use Trebuchet and it works relly nice and smooth
Adw ex by far the smoothest for me!

It consumes more RAM than Nova (which is the best launcher ever)
And how you make the statusbar transparent when you use 3rd party launcher?:silly:
Apex is my best:good:
15-23 MB on my HOV
Nova Launcher - best launcher from what I used!

Apex. least ram consuming and has an option to make statusbar transparent
Nova is completely lag-free.
I experience some stutters in Apex while scrolling.
Nova is the best for me, Apex comes a close second.
Try Gravitybox.

Currently only launchers only support transparent status bars in 4.4 roms. For lower versions Gravitybox xposed module does it.
