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.

Nova Launcher!
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.

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 ??

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...

Sense 4 =apex. Both are good but with sense 4 there is a little lag. Anythings better than sense 3 though

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.

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!

Just installed Apex Launcher Pro and I noticed that its a bit slow. I mean, its not smooth like the stock launcher when changing homescreen for example. Do you guys get that aswell?
For me it is normal and smooth as stock. I don't have the pro version, but it should be the same.
What the heck :/ Nova is extra smooth, Apex lags like my device has 1MB RAM :/
One reason could be that it might be optimized for Tegra 3...but then im not sure.
I use nova and no lag

I've Apex Pro 1.3.1, smooth as hell
I'm using Apex launcher as well. Mostly of the time it's smooth like it's supposed to be, but sometimes it stutters for some secounds... It's quite annoying and kind of ruins the smooth experience.
Yes, this is a bit slow. Disgusting.

Basicly all the new launchers are the same becuase they deal with the new ics\jb system wich consumes a bit of ram like 40mb or so ,, if you want a less usage about 11~20 mb use holo launcher (not the hd one)
Sent from my LG-P970 using xda app-developers app
The least RAM Consuming launchers are Zeam Launcher and Lightning Home. Try them out, both are free!
I am using nova launcher and it only uses between 15 and 17mb. I am running official ICS ROM btw

Give a try to Xperia Launcher. I mostly use this...

i'm using atom launcher, uses 32mb so wil probably not be your choice but i think it's awesome.. fits perfectly with ICS because of it's looks and is nice and smooth.
as for me ,, i would use the lg stock launcher or apex launcher
Apex launcher is great

Hi guys! What's the best and smooth launcher for the s advance on Jelly bean? Standard touchwiz by Samsung is too heavy and slow.
Sorry for my bad English
Next launcher,apex and nova launcher, and tsf shell

Touchwiz launcher.
The S Advance is fairly capable, and Touchwiz is stripped of the unneeded features found on devices like the Note II and SIII. Still, the only way you can slow it down significantly is if you go ahead and download 70+ apps (which you don't need, obviously), and launch 5 apps at the same time and expect a mid-low range device to perform like a supercomputer.
apex runs great on this phone!
One more vote for apex! Very smooth and good looking.

The last time I tried GoLauncher, it was laggy sometimes, consumed more than 30 MB RAM and ate about 6% of my battery...
I tried it when I was on Gingerbread... After that experience I never tried GoLauncher again
Let's hope that it got improved now ..
(One more thing)
Let's not fight about which launcher is the best.. because different people have different opinions....

Adw launcher. Still no.1 for me, even with JB.
Next launcher = Smoothest 3D launcher
Apex Launcher = Slim, smooth..
Go Launcher EX = RAM eater. not very smooth
