Just started using Buzz Launcher. It's really smooth. The cool thing is the sharing homescreens. You can use other peoples without spending forever trying to customize. If you're interested, check it out!

Launcher Pro/Plus, ADW and ADW Ex, Zeam very outdated, Stock. But Go Launcher is nice why do you feel bored of it?

+1 for Zeam. Been stuck on that since Bonsai 4.0. Got my girl to switch because ADW was slowing her phone down and screwing up with the dock disappearing.
I've only ever used TW launcher and Go Launcher. I'm a big fan of Go Launcher.

There is that SPB 3D launcher but that is paid and too much $$$. Looks cool for 10 minutes.

Root and flash MIUI4 or CM9. You'll like the way you look

LauncherPro is awesome, even though it hasn't been updated in a year. I've tried Go a few times but it always seems to get cranky and sluggish after a few hours of use. To me it seems like Go is an unfinished project.
i always used launcherpro up until i started running CM9.. Trebuchet works well enough. Been meaning to play with some of the other ICS launchers, just been lazy.
I was using ics launcher and loved it till I started running cm9

+1 for launcher pro. Used on stock and still using it on CM7. Love the widgets for it as well. It hasn't been updated in a year because it doesn't need to be IMO.
Nova. Oh right, Gingerbread. Damn outdated software :-\ .
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
my ranking system:
1.)Zeam ---> (incredibly fast, smooth scrolling, laggy app drawer scrolling on gingerbread (not on ICS), stable.) Very light memory usage.
2.)Launcher Pro---> (Amazing desktop scrolling smoothness, very smooth app drawer scrolling, some weird bugs, stable) Moderate memory usage.
3.)Go Launcher--->(Less smooth than Launcher pro, little bugs, very stable) Medium memory usage.
4.)ADW--->(Laggy scrolling, very fast, weird bugs, stable) Light memory usage.
keep in mind every phone is different and every experience will vary based on ROM/Kernel combinations, however, these are the launchers that have worked best for me. I still stand by zeam even though its ancient, still the best launcher I have used to date. In <3 with it. Zeam is extremely light on RAM consumption and is incredibly fast.... most people dont notice the difference, but my picky ass does.
I've been running Go with CM9...I just love the folders in the app drawer, makes it so nice clean and neat. But on my Acer A100, I run ADW Ex...to me, it just seem to run a little better on the tab. Besides, there alot more screen real estate there...heh
I went through a nemus launcher phas for a while. It has really cool folders/grouping and is generally snappy.

Hey everyone, Go Launcher Dev Team released a beta HD Launcher for tablets.
http://golauncher.goforandroid.com/2012/03/go-launcher-hd-v1-0-beta/
Currently rocking it.
*It's just a beta and I'm sure all the great "GO" features are still to come.
IMO: Not as great as the stock HC/ICS launchers (Props to Google) but once they add a lot of features, it will be a great improvement.
Anyway, test it out see for yourselves and send feedback using, Menu in the top right.
Good new !! Thk

I like this. It is real slick. Not much in the way of customization, yet. But it is faster and much smoother.
I like the bar at the bottom better.
What is your fav. Launcher guys? ADW ? GO ? or something else?

I'm with you on those two, was using Nova on my Nexus for quite some time, until I discovered Apex, that auto-grid feature is killer, more space on my tab and my phone, and things still look the same.
I did try Go Launcher, and it's pretty nice, but not for me, doesn't fit in with the whole ICS aestethic (which I love)
Apex FTW! I love the ICS look too, GO just makes me feel like I'm back on gingerbread or froyo

I have not found the original porter of this. This is not my port, I found a link for it when browsing Google. If you are the creator of this, please tell me.

Hmm, maybe if there's enough demand, someone can try customizing the launcher similar to what fr0gg4r or someone did to the TW 4.0 launcher around a year ago.
Ill just stick with my touch nova wiz launcher for now
The only thing keeping me form using it as a daily driver is that u can't choose the home screen
Once that is fixed I probably will start using it again

Didn't see anything in our forum about this launcher. Check it out. In my opinion blows every launcher out the water, theme wise, and it's only in beta stage

Great Find!!
Thanks sick launcher
Sg3 4.2.2 protected by UAG case .....
Thanks for the heads up man. Very cool launcher. Anyone figure out how to add additional screens though? Most themes only come with 1 or 2 screens and I like more than that for my widgets.
I just found this launcher today. Still figuring it out. But I think it is using quite a bit if memory. Pretty cool easy theming though without relying on uccw. I did add screens but it was by accident so I do know it is possible.

Very good launcher I would say it beats all launchers out there but it eats 144 of ram on my note 2! So I can't imagine what it would do to devices with less than 2 gigs of ram! Anybody having same issues????
Still is very powerful and living it so far!

If you bring up the launcher settings, click on upload. That will bring up a "normal" home screen manager" that also lets you upload your homescreen
Anyone try out the Buzz launcher yet? Pretty damn cool! Some themes need some tweaking because they're for smaller screen size, but the ability to share layouts is awesome!!

I just heard about Buzz Launcher yesterday. It's pretty cool for finding and trying new homescreens on your device. I download and tried 5-6 yesterday. I don't like some of how the launcher operates though. I still prefer Nova, but that's personal preference. Does anyone know where it downloads the files to when you download and install a new homescreen? I want to use some of the icons from one homescreen with some of the icons from a different homescreen, but I can't figure out where it saves the files. I thought it was saving them on my sdcard, but I can't find them. If anyone knows the file location of the saved homescreens let me know. Thanks!
