I just saw this on the xda homepage:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1017451
Its a new tablet-centric launcher based off of the adw open-source code but removes the phone-like dock bar and ads launchers thatbare highly customizable and scrollable. It is also suppossed to add support for scrollable Widgets as well!
Here is the description:
This Launcher is designed with landscape tablets in mind! (that's not to say it doesn't also function well in portrait mode..... as it does)
First off this launcher is based HEAVILY on ADW.Launcher's Source code so I would like to thank anderweb for all the ground work.
What I have done is begun to remove the tired old Phone Like dock bar we are used to in just about every android launcher and replace it with a sleek Scrollable/Drag-able/Drop-able/Rearrangeable "ALONG the BOTTOM" (NOW WITH TOGGLEABLE SIDE DOCKS AS WELL!) Application and Shortcut Dock.
You can drag any Application, Shortcut, Browser Shortcut, Folder, etc. onto or off of and even drag them to different positions along the bar. Basically just about anything you can usually place on the desktop (except widgets, sorry that is not going to happen) you can place on the dock bar.
So feel free to fill your desktop with widgets and clocks and weather and that cool picture of your cat , because all your favorite apps are a fling away at the bottom.
So far scrolling widget support is fully functional. If an app complains/or warns that it doesn't detect a compatible launcher ignore it and continue they should work (as long as they are ADW Compliant).
This should work on virtually any device. Though non large screen devices may have issues with the layouts so you will have to play with the desktop column and row numbers etc.
UPDATE Info: -Fixed all Paddings to be dynamic with regard to which docks are visible. -Increased the Folder Columns by one for both Orientations. -Fixed Animations and Reflections for proper directions on all dockbars. -Added Toggle Setting to Show/Hide the dockbar when the app drawer is open. -Added Right-Hand Dockbar w/Toggle Setting. -Added Left-Hand Dockbar w/Toggle Setting. -Changed Dock Style to be be centered instead of left justified. -Fixed a fling issue when there were less icons than cells that would cause the icons to fing right and stick. -Changed the default setting of drawer type to the vertical scroll style as it is smoother. -Changed the default setting of drawer color to have a slight alpha to it so you can see your wallpaper a bit.

Here is a screenshot of my setup. The launcher is a little buggy but the concept is cool and if they can clean up the code, it could be a serious contender for the tablet launcher crown.

PS. sorry about the crappy pic and link for pic. Screenshot er isn't working and tapatalk wont let me embed a pic from my xoom.
Cool - I'll give it a shot and post results!
I like the stock launcher better. The widgets are too small. Unless there is something similar with how the stock launcher transitions from screen to screen I will be set with the current setup.
It still feels very beta, the transitions seem "meh" however, it being a beta and all its expected. Uninstalled for now, but I'll be looking for updates soon.
Thanks.
Looks promising. I ran VEGAN on my G Tab and it was a nice alternative to stock. I will be interested to see how it turns out in the near future.
silly question...is there a home switcher that works with honeycomb? if not how are you switching back and forth between stock and this launcher?
Awesome, I was wondering when some tablet based launchers would emerge.
And also can you share that wallpaper

I'm not very impressed with it. It was kind of slow and the app drawer interface leaves alot to be desired.

Hi all
If you missed the ability to hide the statusbar when switching to EOA JB from EOS ICS, then try ,'GMD Gesture Control' from market. This lets you swipe to toggle statusbar among other things. Note, it is though a paid app.

It is worth the price. Custom gestures and a convenient app launcher. The hide status bar feature from the EOS ICS roms is better though. It showed notifications briefly as they came. Gesture control doesn't do that yet.
Xoom 4G + Team EOS Jellybean nightlies = WIN
Not many people know this but cyanogenmod 10 is available for the Xoom and this feature works.

I updated my Nexus 7 to android 4.2, rooted it, edited the prop.build to change the LCD density to 160. Looks like Googles removing the tablet UI.
Yes this has been known since Nexus 10 was announced
Hopefully paranoidandroid can do something with it
i dont mind the phablet UI but I just want the tablet Youtube app.
i hate hate hate the phone youtube app with a passion.
does anyone know how to get the youtube app to scale out?
Ya I'm hoping PA can solve this. Not at all pleased about losing tablet ui. I guess phablet works on the nexus 7 because its meant to be held vertically but I couldn't imagine it on a 10in horizontal tablet.

Good, tablet ui was ugly and un-userfriendly. The new ui is a lot better especially for new users.

I can live with the phablet UI, except for the location of the navigation bar buttons. The locations essentially turn my experience into thumb olympics.
Google really needs to give us customization options for the navigation bar. Let us decide where the buttons are. Or potentially let us make the navigation bar be on the side of the screen while in landscape mode, because it's quite awful as of right now.
just updated to 4.2, checked out some of the awesome new features, rooted, adjusted my lcd density to get my tablet ui back only to find i can't.
the big phone ui is horrible, it wastes space by having two separate bars on my screen, and means i can't just hold the tablet at the bottom and still be able to reach all my controls. really disappointing.
Oh, glad I didn't update then! I hate having the status bar at the top AND the button bar at the bottom, the tablet UI is a much better use of space.
i'm a bit confused as to why they've removed the tablet ui altogether when changing the density. unless they have actually removed it entirely from the os meaning that no tablet will have the tablet ui once upgraded to 4.2 unless it's manually put there by the manufacturer.
So there is no tablet ui at all when the lcd density is changed to 160?
nope. i took it down to 170 which gives me the tablet ui for my apps like youtube, and gave me the full tablet ui on 4.1.2, but i just get a smaller phone ui on 4.2.
still worth an upgrade imho, the lock screen password entry is much nicer, multi user support is enabled, gmail has FINALLY added pinch to zoom, and i'm sure there's much more i haven't noticed yet, but i do miss my tablet ui
I definitely preferred it.
The Nexus 10 even uses the phablet UI. They're doing way with the gt tablet UI for conformity because everyone complained about it being "confusing" and Google can't figure out what they want.
So we now have a uniformed UI... Sadly.
Tablet UI was my choice. It was perfect IMO. Everything at the bottom on each side for great thumb control and a quick settings access menu for toggles. Using my N7 on 4.2 seems counter intuitive because I constantly have to shift hands to grab the top bars. I also don't care for the 2 menus. I inadvertently grab the wrong menu often... And the "toggles" are not predictable. Some are direct toggles but others are shortcuts. The major ones like Bluetooth and WiFi are shortcuts.
And the lockscreen widgets are cool... But I hate the little white border every time I unlock that indicates I can scroll. I'd move the lock screen widgets down and have a dedicated settings menu to enable/disable or just use the existing widget picked from the start menu which options of home screen or lock screen placement.
I'm sure they'll work the kinks out soon.

See post number 840 on page 84. Download the 4.2-TabletUI.zip and flash in recovery.
Only problem is stock launcher does not fit the screen. Nova Launcher (free from Play Store) works fine. Same Tablet experience as with 4.1.2.

So this is a full ROM update, not some apk you load on top of your existing ROM? If I use it, will it wipe my settings? EDIT: never mind' looked at the wrong post, it looks like post 840 has a patch
I do like the tablet interface best, easier to reach buttons with my thumb (I use my tablet horizontally a lot). Also I don't use a dock on my home screen and with the update I no longer can bring up the app drawer from the status bar.
I may try Chameleon Launcher as my "Tablet UI"
I've been looking at it for a long time and noticed that the price was just cut to $3.99.
Probably cashing in on the people who lost the old UI.

Chameleon is still just a launcher, it won't change you to a tablet ui.

True, but it may resolve my issues. And my point was to share info about the price cut with people here as much as anything.
I know a lot of people have been interested but turned off by the former $10 price.

Explore settings,it has seeder and stuff,set it up and it'll be better.

Hi guys, I installed this rom but I have a great problem, for any sms I receive delivery notification (that I pay) even if in settings this feature is off.
That's a great problem for me.
Hei! Wasim! Your rom is just great! But i have encountered a problem. When someone call me, the phone ringtone is not call, just vibrate. And after i answer, i can`t hear another person. I must do reboot. but after some time,..again the same problem. Probably should install again with another cwm? now i have cwm 6. (sorry for my bad english, hope you understand this)

The DEV needs to make some corrections with the launcher 's description. First, in the second line it's telling people that it's based on kk launcher, than right at basic feature description it's saying it's full is style, isn't this oxymoron? Also, there should be a distinction between the HD jb version and the regular ics version. I think holo hd is the one that's getting the kitkat update, or am I wrong? Either way you need to make the correction at the play store too. While you're at it, should think about changing the icon too. If you want to call the launcher kitkat based, why is it still sporting ics and jb icons? Hate to see one of my favorite launcher making errors on product description like this. May be if the correction is made, more people will discover this awesome launcher.

Could you use a 4.x gmail apk on 2.3?? May be worth looking into. You could try pulling it from cm9 gapps

Is it possible that you let some of us that follow this topic do the beta testing for holo launcher and the notification? Like how they have it on nova and Apex launcher topic that are started by the developer. That's I assume this is started by holo launcher developer.
