Do any of the roms for the gnex have the carousel effect on home screens and app drawer. Definitely miss having that.
I'm sure some on the launchers in the play store do. Try nova.

Hey guys do you know if there is an app coming out that displays the number of unread notifications on the app icon, for jelly bean?

Try GO Launcher EX with the GO Launcher EX Notification plugin.
Both Nova & Apex have the feature, might only be with the paid version though.

This is what I was going to suggest, I know with Nova you have to download a "plug-in" app for the function.
Well I tried go launcher and I didn't like it, I will look into nova, I am considering developing it my self as I am a programmer so we will see how this works out first

Personally I'm using Nova Launcher (free).
I hope you can develop it as good if not better as Nova Prime (paid) and make it available for FREE
I will see, next week I'm ordering my laptop so gotta wait for that to arrive

So I'm going to build my own indicator, because just for notifications you shouldn't have to pay and the two options (nova and apex) are a little laggy on my phone :/

I'm wondering which launcher to use on my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747. So I'm considering either Nova or Apex. I like how Nova Is more customizable but Apex has more functions. I also like the stock Touchwiz theme. Which launcher should I use? Also can anyone suggest any other launchers besides GO Launcher EX.
I personally use nova and I love it. It's fast and smooth.
Nova

I also use Nova but have been trying Next Launcher for the past couple days and I like it so far for it being in the early stages.

You should try ADW Launcher.It's one of the first, and it's come a long way.

Nova prime mostly, but sometimes go back to apex they're both great

I have 3 launchers set up which I swap between depending what I'm doing. I use Nova occasionally whilst driving. The gestures make it very easy to quickly open apps with one hand. I use TouchWiz daily for the S-Planner widget, which only works on TouchWiz. When I feel creative or get an idea for a UI I use sslauncher, which gives gridless design possibilities, overlapping widgets and resizable icons and the ability to have different wallpapers on every page. I use "Home chooser pro" to swap.
+1 for ADW! I use the paid version personally, and I love it.
I used apex for the longest time but recently switched to nova and love it.

One of the first things I did was to install Nova Prime on my S3.

ADW EX, and nova are my favorite. I like ADW EX because you can scale the size of your icons.

I use Nova Launcher and I love it. From my experience it is much smoother than the stock launcher.

How do I add a homescreen on my phone? I have 7 is that the limit?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
I believe for the stock launcher 7 is the limit. Try a different launcher, apex,nova,go launcher are there more popular ones.
I have NEXT Launcher and 10 is my limit.

Anyone know how to load the discover menu from these two launchers?
I use apex and have to launch the ouya launcher if I want the discover screen.
I just have a shortcut on the homescreen then go back into apex with a double click of the ouya button.

The dev for baxty(sp?) Launcher has been trying to code it in, but says that it is deliberately blocked.

So what kinds of Launcher's you guys using? My personal favorite has always been Holo Launcher Hd. Great launcher with tons of options. And I love the landscape home.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app
I use nova.
I never tried anything else because I was always so happy with Holo. But I might try nova now. Great to hear other options.

Apex pro
I've bought apex pro nova pro ilauncher and action launcher personally nova pro just has everything I need action launcher is nice easy to navigate and clean apex launcher I honestly probably won't use after using nova and ilauncher is just to troll but it is nice and smooth and has nice transitions

Random q: anybody know if there is a separate flashable file or something to get transition animations like the *gulp* iLauncher

Next Launcher. You can actually score it free on Facebook too cause they post betas before they do a new release.
SS launcher was on Nova launcher for years and switched to this cause the scrolling up and down instead of pages. But also has pages. Great launcher

I use TSF Shell. Best launcher ever if you can stomach the price.

I've bounced between Nova and Apex, but Nova mainly.
Both are pretty slick and both also put some effort into the notification side of things. I am accustomed to the bubble notifications and bothe Apex and Nova has them with support for Samsung Mail as well as Google Voice. Nova also supports MissedIt! which gives you bubble notifications for just about anything that puts a notification on the top status bar.
I wish more of these launchers would put more effort into the notification side.
Smart Launcher is where its at for me
Before they release an update the Go team releases a beta on Facebook that is fully functional. I purchased this launcher when it first was released but now you can pretty much get it for free. I think you will like it.
