+1. I don't know what they could do to improve beyond Nova either. Trebuchet has a lot of work to do itself...

Much much much better than Nova!
It fits the Nexus S like a glove unlike Nova

I really like this launcher compared to Nova, but the deal breakers are:
* No ability to change icons
* Dock doesn't loop
Love the launcher tho just wish these features were present.

I'm with you here, I feel that Nova is an excellent improvement over the already good ICS launcher. The backup feature is brilliant for me.
I'll give this a try, there's always room in my life for more than one launcher

I need this for my trusty Gingerbread ROM.

Best launcher!

Smoother than Nova and Trebuchet for me.

Hey guys i use ice cold sandwich 5.5 with the tiamat kernel . Currently im using the apex launcher ... Is the nova launcher better for performance or apex ??
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using xda premium

Try it? Results will vary from person to person. Best way it to test them yourself and what suits you.
Sent from my Incredible S using xda premium

Apex and Nova are about equal in performance I find. Apex has more features, and it's free. You have to pay for Nova Prime if you want certain features. I personally like apex best.

I like APEX !! Really Awesome !

try trebuchet too its good

ADW
The best in terms of visual quality and options available in my opinion

GO Launcher EX

Thought this thread needed a refresh
So what ICS launcher do you use today?
I've been using apex for several months, but tried nova again because of reports on play that it has increased it's performance.
So far, I like it. It feels snappier. I'm Playground/IceColdSandwich user
Any Thoughts?

I tried Nova and Apex and in my opinion they are equal in performances.

Apex has more options and in my testing is much more smoother than nova. Trebuchet crashes according to me a little too much. I also found another launcher called lightning launcher. Then again there is sense to use also

Apex is well known to be the top 3rd party launcher for ICS.

Trebuchet launcher, don't know why but I just can't get used to nova or apex...
Sent from my Incredible S using XDA

Sense 4 =apex. Both are good but with sense 4 there is a little lag. Anythings better than sense 3 though
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

Go Launcher is still the best. Nothing else compares when it comes to customization. It does everything Apex does, plus more.

There is sgs3 launcher too. I love it.

Nova launcher for me, i find it more snappier than apex and widgets on nova align better in my experience.

Nova the best

bro i didnt like launchers like nova or else......i tried TSF shell....it depend on ur choice but u should give it a try......its best snappy and fastest and beautiful launcher.

I like go launcher and tsf shell. I regularly switch between them.

Cm9 with Trebuchet is the best. Clean, fast and easy on the eyes.

Apex for me is smoother than Nova but Holo HD is really good too!

Which launcher do you use on cm10?

I use CM 10 and I use atom launcher from market.
I found it more snappy.
please describe your experience with your favourite launcher for cm10 that could help others.

Nova, the best........its very fast, smooth animations .......never been to other launcher when im on ICS or cm10............

Tried most of them,i use nemus with themes on all rom's,it has 0 lag and ~14mb which i love

currently ADW launcher that came with Temasek's rom
on CM10 testing i used Apex Launcher (i also tried GoLauncher on CM10 - but it was too laggy for me)
btw why didn't you create a simple poll in this thread with most common launchers?

I use Apex, always smooth, sometimes dock disappears though.

I can bet that currently the Next Launcher is the fastest one around.

Easy mate, it is still a beta. It will use more memory as it is OpenGL biased. But still it is fast as hell.

Apex here too, although scrolling on widgets is not as smooth as one would expect for CM10. On Scrollable New Widget i get those 'periodic stutters' i used to have on CM7 too. Interesting thing is that if performance governor is selected (@1GHz always) it runs buttery smooth. So maybe something to do with the interactive governor (preset on CM10) configuration? Btw, the same goes for all android menus, contacts etc; Only on performance governor things are totally smooth everywhere-always.

Nova prime, awesome, no lag just pure smooth awesomeness and i can organize my apps and games so i can actually find stuff without searching and concentrating really hard like all the other crap launchers.

nova prime its the best...

Primo launcher is the best!

It would be nice if you can write how much memory also use your fav. launcher
Mine like i said does ~15mb, how is that nova prime?

Holo launcher HD also worth to mention here.
