I agree, go launcher is awesome very customizable. and if you want widgets get color widgets in the market for facebook, contacts etc.

Im using the ADW with the ICS icons.

This is a massive bit of personal opinion war waiting to happen. Personally, I've used lpp for awhile now and have tried the others but never been really satisfied.

Launcher Pro Plus! Great Widgets...

Try the sony ericsson 4 corner launcher. I use that one.

I'm using regina. Give it a shot.

I really like Launcher Pro's option to hide apps from the drawer but like options from other launchers. Is there any other launcher that can hide apps?

Getting ready to try Lpp now. Thanks for the replies.

GO launcher is the first I've tried, but I really like it. It's very customizable.
I still have to try out the others... But I've decided that landscape and slick animated transitions are must-have features for me after using GO launcher.

I was a long time user of Launcher Pro but recently switched to go launcher. It really can do everything LPP can do and more. Widgets are.... different.... I don't think one has a widget advantage on the other but I'm sure many will disagree with me. Go launcher has plently of easy to assemble custom themes where launcher pro you really have to change things manually. Go launcher lets you do that also. I felt Launcher pro ran smoother on my evo4g but on my gsII go launcher runs awesome

sorry Zeam launcher is the best in my opinion, very sleek and it has just enough options to make it great.

ICS Launchers Opinion

Which one do you prefer and why?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

Im digging the apex launcher because it gives you options to edit the icons and put different pictures on tge icons . Like i downloaded adw ics theme by kovdev from market and was able to use the ics icon pix when tapping on an icon and hitting edit. The theme basically has a icon theme pack. I also love the animations im running the beta and it is silky smooth. It looks like i am runnin an aosp build its badasss . I also dl some galaxy nexus lw for more of a ics feel

i use nova launcer. it is very customizable and it doesn't crash. it is also very fast. i really like that you can customiza also the quick launch bar. i have the free version (it is complete, just less customizable)

still use Go Launcher EX on my ICS devices
extremely customizable
fast
and it works on all the devices
and you can't beat the price FREE!

Apex, because it's essentially SuperStock. It preserves the ICS look and feel, which I love, but it's got a ton of additional options, and the ability to backup my desktop, which makes coming back from wipes easier.

Im loving nova right now. Even the free version is very customizable.

I run that Apex Launcher best from what I have seen.

Should be in the market ONLY if you are running ICS

Apex cuz it has The ics feel with The widgets tab. Nova still shows The old crappy look

I can't purchase it because I'm not on ICS. gonna have to wait

Trebuchet is the best in my opinion.. nova doesn't have a true widgets tab, though I've only tried the free version. Trebuchet is after all a cyanogen launcher. I'll post a db for you in a minute sir

You don't have to capitalize every letter of every word. That seems very illiterate.
Also, thanks for the share.

Holo Launcher can do it easily.

I'm in touchwiz , I could get nova or apex.. but don't I loose features for doing that?
I could have sworn as well that there was a app that allowed scrolling wallpapers for touchwiz.

There is in the playstore. From the reviews dont think it was working to well. Just install Nova.....or Apex and try it out. If you dont like them you can just go back to using TW. I might be missing something but I dont think you lose anything by using one of those 3rd party launchers, but you will gain many customization options.

Clever, clever.

- Multi Live Wallpaper
- Most widgets are done in UCCW
- Working on the Voxis Theme
This is gonna take some time.

For now it's setup identical to the way I had my Rezound....

its a build of cyanogenmod but not public yet IIRC
here's mine haha - pretty bare until bootloader unlock makes a reappearance so I can avoid having to set a ton up again...

Wish I was rooted so I could do more...
I followed the ColdFustion example:
Homepage. All of the home screens have rotating wallpaper:
App page (Each box is an app)
Weather and music page:
Library page:
App launcher (since almost everything is hidden on the homescreens, and I don't have a dock)
Another app launcher category so you get an idea of how it works:
In transition between two homepages. The animation is sick:

Yea - It's Nova. You don't need root to do that setup. It's actually amazing how much you can do with a unrooted phone. Even the stupid icons in the status bar don't bother me anymore because I have Nova hide the status bar completely.

No I know I don't need root for that, I just don't want to lose all of my progress when I unlock the bootloader. But yeah you can still do a lot even without root
