What are your favorite Launchers? Only ICS please
Based on customization, smoothness, and eye-candyness
can I say GO LAUNCHER ??
The stock launcher. Gotta love those shortcut folders.

P.S: no stock launcher
Nova launcher seems promising, but I would say trebuchet is a perfect fit for its stability right now.

Nova launcher
Nova has the best settings and stuff, so NOVA for me. I needs me my custom icons. Apex Launched will be promising though... it might even become better than NOVA. With the plans they have for it, Apex should become the CM9 Launcher. Why? Because honestly Trebuchet is sucking so much right now. You can hardly do anything with it and I haven't heard any news from it... If it is going to stay CM9 launcher it has major work to do.

Another vote for nova. Great launcher and only getting better

GO Launcher is by far my favourite of the ones I have used.
I have used ADW, Helix, LauncherPro and Zeam Launcher but have not tried Nova yet.
I really like launcher pro. Not very fancy but quite functional.
I'm using Nova, while it is very fast and smooth, it does have way too less customizations.
Apex is the fastest one then nova after that when apex gets a few more opinions it could be the beat of all of them right now Nova got more customization but apexs is faster

Definitely the Trebuchet launcher if not the stock one
Nova is my current pick. Custom icons, number of icons in dock, homescreen grid and resizable widgets are must-haves for me. I do wish there are gestures and more dock customization options, but neither of those are deal-breakers.
ADW Ex remains my favorite.
I've used Go, Claystone, Nova, trebuchet, QQ, Live Home, Regina 3D, and SPB, but ADW provides the smoothest operation, great customization, and the backup/restore function works great.

OP said only ICS based launchers.
My vote is for Nova also.

so far Apex Launcher for me...
minor side, some bugs on transparant drawer...
Launcher Pro
I also like Launcher Pro. It's not the best looking, but it has a wonderful set of features.

I opened this thread to share oppinions about your launchers you are using, why do you use 'em?
For now I'm using Go Launcher Ex, i've tried the ADW Launcher, Espier Launcher, Shell 3D Launcher but the Go Launcher EX works better in my Galaxy Mini and has better design, I love the effects options and the fact that is to simple to use the launcher. But I dont like the themes that are compatible for go launcher ex, they are too low quality. Do you have any other launcher that you think is better then Go Launcher Ex?

It depends on the taste of every person.. I have also tried Go Launcher Ex, ADW Launcher, Espier Launcher and the Xperia launcher (the one with the animated corners).
I agree with you, for Galaxy Mini, I think that Go Launcher Ex is very good. It's not heavy and have many useful functions. The folder option is what I use most in the homescreen (Although it can be used in the App drawer) And it offers me a good way to close open applications that I don't use it in the moment.
ADW Launcher is Nice, but in order to enjoy it at 100% you need to have the full version. Nevertheless, it is very good and it is the default launcher of CyanogenMod 7.
Espier Launcher is a peculiar launcher. Those people who love iOS of iPhone, will love this launcher. I've tried this launcher for a couple of months and it was very useful (because the homescreen is the app drawer). The folders are very elegant and you can find your app in an easier way without go into an app menu.
I didn't like the Xperia launcher, maybe because I was used to the other launchers.
o.o In conclusion, I think that Go Launcher Ex is better for Galaxy Mini.. Of course, I will try other new launchers.
Ss launcher for me is the best . I can make my perfect screen with this launcher

Go launcher no doubt.

go launcherEX as well as adwEX ...both are good launchers and there is no doubt about it.But if someone likes to taste a new launcher then you can try 'zeam launcher'...It is very fast and suitable for me......

ad launcher ex....suits me best
Adw ex for me aswell. I was using go launcher for a long time but after upgrade to gingerbread is starts lagging. I tried deleting lot of system apps to save the memory and have more than 150 mb free ram but still its lagging...so adw for now and waiting for more features in Phoenix launcher, ftl launcher and 360 launcher

I use Launcher Pro from the time I got my galaxy mini.
I am surprised of how few have mentioned Zeam. It's surprisingly fast, really low on the RAM and works like a charm. It also has great design and works really smooth!
After trying and testing most famous launcher like adw, adw ex, go launcher, zeam launcher, launcher pro, qq launcher, etc i found adw ex be the best for me.

Go Launcher Ex is better for me
because of the unlimited home screens
and i think it is unique in that
Im always using launcher pro its so smooth on my galaxy mini..

Go launcher is the most graphic detailed and customeable, but adw is the best compromise for our galaxy mini... it allowes to do almost the same things of Go launcher but it drains less ram and battery, and is in general more fluid and reactive.
simple and really easy to use : adw ex
varied, many add-ons : go launcher ex
that's the best launcher that i've tried
Try QQ launcher also. .same as MIUI launcher but not much themes available online.

Adw adw adw adw....till infinity.
Try tsf shell.. Its eating lot of ram but with root and ram manager you'll be good. Its really awesome. I used it on mini before i sold it. You can find cracked version on internet so don't need to pay 16$

I'm bored with the usual common launcher so i took sslauncher and wow!! never bored again play with it
thank you so much for that
for me it is the 360 launcher
what is yours ?
I used Go Launcher EX for a pretty long time when i had an HTC Desire as it worked unbelievably smooth. Now that i've gotten a SGS it somehow isn't as snappy... But the features are the same so I'll be sticking to it untill I find some launcher with as much (or more) features and hopefully smoother working..
This is very subjective.... but I like the native launcher from ICS : Trebuchet
I would have to agree with terbuchet.

Nova launcher working well for me. Also heard good things about apex launcher but havent tried it yet. Nova launcher is ics only & i think apex is also but not sure.

Nova launcher on ICS
Hi,
Launcher 7 for me.
on gingerbread:go launcher ex
on ICS:ıcs launcher
i dont know why but go launcher eating too much ram like yandex.shell in ics.(70-100 mb ram ***)
best launcher
for me is the apex launcher the best
the new Nova Launcher Prime - finally with appdrawer groups!
Have people tried ssLauncher? It may be a bit complicated at first but later it'll make sense. It has damn many settings and it's very unique. I switched to it from go launcher and I think it's lighter and faster.

Apex Launcher and Launcher7 for me
Apex for sure. I donated to pro

Used launcher pro,nemus,go launcher,sslauncher,xperia
Go launcher is good but consumes much battery.
I liked sslauncher. It's the most customized launcher. But now it's giving fc

I have adw launcher ex. Its very smooth and good for the battery life. Go Launcher is also good, but i think adw ex is smoother so i prefer adw ex :thumbup:

that depends on your taste
i like adw, xperia s(one x style), lg home
the others i've used but i dont like them this much (go launcher, launcher pro...)
tsf shell no doubt. you actually get a fluid experience. it's the best launcher in terms of fluidity.
I use Go Launcher because of full personalization and very smooth.. adw launcher seems not very smooth on my OB.. One of most smooth is tsf shell, but i don't like it..
Nemus Launcher, Go Launcher, ADW Launcher Pro.

The launcher i like the best is Holo launcher, very smooth, ics like, you can customize folders and you can chose icon packs form apks so it makes it kind of compatible with other launchers themes
Holo launcher is good and adw launcher ex

IMO Go Launcher installs so much useless crapware and since all their apps intertwine, i wouldn't be surprised if they 'anonymously' took information to 'better' their services.
I use Holo Launcher for realistic ICS look and plus its FREE!!!!!!
For me Xperis s launcher is the best because you can manage place of the application in application drawer... and all launcher pro and adw launcher icons work.
Holo launcher has lags, Go Launcher uses many ram. Launcher Pro is fluid and lighter. Xperia launcher is ok to use.
MiHome Launcher (MIUI)
I use the MiHome Launcher from MIUI and for me it's good to have widgets and apps all in one place
been using adw free since day one hehheheh i bought the paid one to support but still am using the free one cos i like the hidden dockbar thing =P
Xperia +1 I like it

Hi all, i like the nemus launcher. I used LauncherPro for years, but it will not be updated anymore and the functionality is not "the state of art". Nemus is very smooth, small and you can use the go launcher themes on it.
Give it a try.
Greetings
xperia launcher
I prefer xperai s launcher :good:
I have stock ics rooted and I want a verry verry smooth launcher. Wich of this two is better?
Apex or Niva..

Hey there,
I have the next launcher and i'm very pleased with this launcher. He's very smooth and stable with lots of features for adjusting app and so on.. Try this one and i think you will agree with me that this is the one....
o boy..try both... and decide
They are similar but I found Nova better designed.
Sent from LG 2X using Tapatalk 3 Beta
not all of us have the same settings on our phones so it's best to download and try both - you'll see which launcher suits you best...
I think Apex =)
I found Nova to be both smooth and good looking with many settings but then again... It´s very personal.
Apex

It all comes down to preference
Im using the NOVA launcher and Im very happy with it... of course, the pro version
Nova.....really smoother than apex and the main thing low memory usage....since our O2x ram is bottlenecking i would prefere nova over other launchers....:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:
I recommend also nova, smoother than apex based on my own observation..
i found nova launcher also smoother on cm10

nova launcher is doing an excellent job right now on JB
I keep switching between nova and launcher7 depending upon the look I want
I confirm : Nova is very smooth
More than trebuchet and Apex !
i think apex is better
but you have to try it on yourself
Nova is much smoother on our phone and allows customizing the app drawer decorations color (the blue underline under tab names) without installing a theme.
It is a nice touch when you use transparency and want to match your wallpaper color.
NEXT Launcher,from the GO team Devs..I never saw better launcher after i installed NEXT..
It's on an early stage though,but there are many things to come,cause GO team will continue build new things for their apks..
Nova and Apex are both very nice launcher, if i have the choise i want use Nova launcher because you have more settings

Greetings Guy...Wanna know about yours expieriece, wich one culd be the best laucher for the TP???
nova seems the smoothest to me. and of course has plenty of options.
I use Apex, but there are many good ones available. It's a matter of personal preference.
Nova has plenty of options and is quite fast. But the stock one that comes with cm is quite fine too (trebuchet) and if you don't need too much customization is quite similar to nova.
I personally use Nova because I got it for $0.25 during one of Google's sales. It's a good smooth browser with a bunch of customization options. That said, there are a bunch of launchers out there that take a different view on things. There are 3d launchers like Next that run adequately on the TP. Action Launcher has a couple of very nice features that I like as well... but not enough to give up the customization of Nova.
In the end, it really is all up to what you like and what you want. That's what Android is all about. Do you want fancy? Do you want smooth? Do you want customization? Try em all out and see which one you like.
I Like the GO Launcher EX

I have always used Holo Launcher, and now Holo Launcher HD on my touchpad. Lightweight but smooth and responsive.
Not heavy on customization like Nova or Apex.
