I love nova and the paid version is worth it in my oipinon. I hear good things about apex but I have never used it

Well if you want your lockscreen in landscape, I believe you have to change the LCD density in the build.prop to give it "tablet ui" which will also make the launcher landscape. hope this answers your question!
I threw Nova on immediately for the rotating homescreen. Works wonderful! And super fast of course!

sounds good
.I've been using this app with my HTC One X :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.devasque.rotationlocker
And it seems to work OK,
Locks it in landscape but will not switch in auto. Sorry if this a repost but I have kids so no time to search.

How has this app gone completely unnoticed?
Kinda. I bought the 16gig with the case. I'm left handed and the case, as in most cases, is right handed. So I prefer to use it upside down. Only real difference is the camera is on the bottom. I rarely ever used it and when I do I can easily switch it around. Unfortunately I didn't see this FREE app and bought Ultimate Rotation.
It is also possible using some launchers. I believe Apex and or Nova allow it to auto rotate.

I can confirm Apex lets you.
If you long press on auto, it should allow you to rotate it freely.
From my understanding the stock launcher doesn't have rotation at all. I believe a modded stock launcher was created just for this.
Does this rotation all rotate the stock launcher?
I simply use Apex. The stock launcher is what was stuck in portrait mode.

Funny thing when you do tablet ui AFAIK it'll rotate.
Ah just tried the long press and works!
SME widgets are a bit buggered but hey it works, and completely stock and no special launchers.

Thanks for the tip, but what do you mean by auto? I tried long pressing the auto in the pull down notification bar with no luck.
Any suggestions?
This is cool, but it would be much better if it had a better/more useful widget!

Just what the title says. IMO its smoother then Apex and Nova. I really haven't had time to play with it but so far so good. Wish this update was available when I was stuck on HC.

I use GO EX, on my SGS3 and Pad 7.7, perfect :good:
We had to wait a long long time for getting an update.....
But at least it was worth the waiting.
Had to fix screen size and some other settings after new update. It was a pain, don't really notice anything new while running on stock ICS

After playing with it a bit I stuck with Apex. I think this is a bigger draw to HC and GB devices.

Was quite happy using adw ex launcher. There is a bug though. When u add a folder on the home screen, initially you could edit the folder to change the icon or rename the folder. It doesn't work anymore. Any idea people.

Double tap on icons/folders to get the edit/remove options.

No longer able to use the launcher actions along with minimalist text, I used this set up to switch between screens. Have emailed the dev and still waiting on an answer.

THIS. Been using Go Ex Launcher for several years on many different Android devices & it's been amazing, very customizable & easy to use.
After trying EVERY other launcher including paid ones, none come close to Go EX...
I want to lock my widgets on my home screen, they sometimes are accidentally moved when fast scrolling or going back from app drawer. I want ro lock them so even on hard touch or persistent touch, it wont show the resize or move thing.
PS: i am using tw on stock rom with root.

Hmmm..if you are ok moving to another launcher, there is an option in Go Launcher if I am not wrong..
Nova launcher for ics has the lock desktop check box in the settings.

Basically any launcher other than touchwizz.

I stick to the sense launcher
The stock sense launcher is great and thats what I use!
I recently found action launcher which I really like. It's very functional and more minimalistic than most other launchers. If that's what your in to. There is a free version. Give it a try.

I stick to Sense. I don't know what it is, but every time I try and switch off of it, I always end up coming back. Even though they change it with every new flagship, I still stick with it. I've used Aviate, and while it's nice, it's just not for me.
I'm on sense right now, using xposed framework and sense 5 toolbox to get a 4.5 home screen. However, I also frequent nova launcher. It just depends on my mood, and I have them both installed pretty much all the time.
I like Trebuchet from AOSP

I visit in Asia most the user use HTC Mobile phone because it has been too many feature that you can use. After Nokia Lumia and I phone big brand that are using.
I use Themer. Wish it had a better drawer, but, I change up my themes so often its still the best option for me.
I use Nova Launcher Prime on all of my Android devices. Just find it to be fast and customizable to my likings

I like Go Launcher for its customization but I really love Nova Launcher. Love it so much I purchased prime. Its really fast and has a fair amount of customization. It also never crashes or gives me any problems. It's nice that a lot of the icon packs work on it as well.
Try Aviate. Pm me with your email I have 1 left

SS Launcher Paid version
I stumbled on SS launcher a couple of years ago when I still had the "EVO 4G". I have not looked back since, it is more flexible than any other I've tried. And I always get comments on it.
Check out Lightning Launcher on the play store.
Google Experience Launcher

Big +1 for Action Launcher. It has a free trial(!) now, even, so there really isn't an excuse to at least give it a whack. It's not perfect for everyone, but if it you can handle its paradigm it works really well. Aviate's also good, but the inability to hide apps (among other things) really killed it for me.
Agreed

I personally use Nova Launcher Prime also, it's never let me down. An customization for the drawer and home screen is cool. Being able to pull app info and uninstall on the home screen is a huge helper at times.
I like Nova as well
