Been playing with this today. Fairly nice rendition of the ICS launcher with bits and pieces modified to make it work with older version of Android.
Free in the Play Store.

I love it works great since it hit the market after turning off animations. I run underclocked at 800mhz too and have no issue. but I guess maybe I'm doing it wrong by not having the animations. either way once they work out the bling speed ill be enabling it.
my default launcher on tw and cm7.
OK, everyone get back on topic.
Thanks

Notifications do not work using Holo Launcher Plus
Can someone help me?
I am using Holo Launcher Plus with Holo Notifier and my "Unread Count" notifications only works for text messages (SMS).
My Samsung Epic 4G does not display nofications for Gmail, Yahoo email, Outlook email, or even phone calls.
I checked my Holo Notifier settings and enabled (checked) each option and selected the corrersponding apps (Phone app, Gmail app, etc.). Only my SMS text messages display a notification in Holo Launcher Plus.
My phone is the Samsung Epic 4G running Android 2.3.6 (GB).
Thank You for your help.

I'd suggest heading over to the Holo forum. You can find that here.. You can also drop the dev a email. He is pretty good about responding.

Hi guys,
I'm looking for a launcher that gives better battery life than Touchwiz for gingerbread and for ICS, that runs smoothly.
Cause I heard that launcher affect your battery life slightly, so I wanted to improve that.
Any suggestions for Gingerbread and/ or ICS?
Best Launcher so far:
Gingerbread: LauncherPro 6 MB of RAM, smooth, themable
Ice Cream Sandwich: LauncherPro 6 MB of RAM, smooth, themable
Ftl launcher
Sent from my jelly bean
just a basic stripped down launcher, with not too many effects and so..
Thanks for the suggestion, FTLLauncher uses around 12MB of RAM and is gingerbread and ICS supported.
Other suggestions are as always welcome.
BTW, how do you strip a launcher? I only know how to get rid of some system apps....

better not do it yourself, use a launcher that is minimalistic.
currently using ADW launcher and it doesn't use much batttery and it looks nice.
Thanks for your reply, it seems that ADW Launcher uses 11 MB of RAM on my GB ROM. It is smooth as well. So does that mean that this launcher is better? (remember that we're looking for a lightweight launcher, not for functionality)

for me it is a good launcher, it is smooth, easy to work with, low battery consumption, and it looks nice. I have tried several other launchers but didn't like the way they looked or because of high battery usage.
I use GO Launcher EX. The UI and the effects are good. And there're many themes available on the net!
For lightweight I think lightning launcher is the most lightweight one in terms of its apk size (54k!!!) and ram usage.
It only uses less than 8 MB (varying from 7.21-7.89) on my Gio !!!
It even doesn't have built-in setting! (though you can download a separate app for setting)
If you want something fast and light, maybe it is what you're searching for.
PS the setup may requires some effort but once set up, everything should be good.

yes i already understand what you want but holo launcher doesnt have this feature as i know
if this is so important for you, you should use go ex launcher with an ics theme

Hey guys!
I'm on the PureNexus rom, but even from the stock rom, I noticed that on the home screen where the apps are, there are no notification numbers letting me know I have x amount of unread texts, messages, missed calls..etc
Is there a way around this?
Thanks!
Nova launcher and Tesla unread will do it.
