This might be of interest to some of you. Certainly one of the best launchers available, much more customizable than Sony's stock Xperia Home, now you can unlock pro features for a very low price.

The other day I just accidentally met this launcher while surfing and out of curiosity installed it. This launcher is developed by PSC from Japan. All credits and kudos to him for developing a unique launcher.
This Launcher is replicated on the basis of Xperia Mini Corner Launcher but is a kind of app instead of a full fledged laucnher. It ca be used together with any launchers like ADW, LauncherPro, GoLauncher etc. I liked this app developed by PSC with a new concept and is worth trying also. Anybody interested can try.

Looking terrible. Did he do this in MS Paint?
What's the best launcher for the N7? If other, please specify which one.
In my opinion, I enjoy using NOVA.
Nova

I should've added Go Launcher to the poll.
I've never used a bad launcher. Apex is my current favorite. My least favorite was Go.
*nvm*
Nova for me, just like how they are showing the initiative

completely stock, Jelly Bean!
When using Samsung, HTC phones you become so jealous of the stock android launcher that it becomes an obsession.
Whilst touchwiz and sense offer some things that are better, as a past/current user of these phones, we just want to speed and compatibility that nexus devices can offer.
I don't think I'll ever root & install a custom rom on my Nexus 7, it's sexy, super fast & smooth & just what I wanted.
Enough to make me also consider a Nexus phone as my next phone too.

I use go launcher ex, not the HD tablet version. The one for the phone just works better for me.
I like the paid version of Nova the best, but if I wanted a free replacement I'd go with Apex.
At the moment I like the stock launcher the best. I can't really seem to get either Nova or Apex to look the way I want them to.
Apex for some reason I can't have 6 rows in landscape mode, because the gap between the icons and the labels is larger than normal that the labels end up vanishing with more than 5 rows in landscape.
Also I don't like how the dock bar rotates with the screen.
Nova launcher seems to have gotten better after the recent update, I can move icons easier now. One cosmetic issue that bugs me though is I've turned off the google search bar, however in landscape mode it still shows the divider bar between where the search bar was and the rest of the screen on the left side. I really wish that could be removed.

Nova is amazing, and blazingly fast. Very clear difference from Apex, which I used for a few days. Sticking with Nova Pro.
I like sslauncher. Different and loved it on my note as well. Just wished had more themes
From the Note to Nexus 7
Stock is great, using Nova to hide apps and sort apps into folders though, and is just as good
Using Nova Prime. Mimics 4.1 quite well and adds more function. No regrets. The reason I purchased Prime is because I already own Widget Locker and I chose to continue my support for the developer.

Should also add Stock as well Not everybody uses a 3rd-party launcher
Since a week I have Smart Launcher installed. It is super light weight, beatiful, highly customizable and last but not least super oderly, I am amazed! I tried Sony Stock, Adw, Go, Apex, 3d, Regina 3d and many more but I was never so happy with third party launchers. I thought let share it with you. You can try it out, see links below.

No widget support for smart launcher the only drawback other than awesome.
Try gt launcher prime in apps and games forum. Its jst like nova bt lots of customisations and too smooth.

whats a good launcher to make it faster and other other tips?
Check out this thread before you start experimenting with new launchers: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2805503
Debloating.
Much performance is to be gained by debloating ! Nova Launcher is a launcher I'd be recommending if you're still not happy with the performance gained from the debloat thread.
+1 nova launcher rocks
Nova here too.

I've tried a bunch of launchers and went back to nova. It seems most comfortable and least fussy. I need to do less work to get it to look the v way I want. Is it the most innovative and have most neato features? No. But I only want to spend so much time fiddling with my launcher.
I have no issue using stock launcher, works fine for me. maybe i'm used to it.
tried others but then went back to touchwiz

I'm using Apex on all my Android devices. I've tried Nova too and they seem almost identical...so much so I can't quite tell what the differences are.
I'm using nova because it is simple yet fully customizable. Touchwiz was good also but I wanted other icons without the need of an extra apk just to load them.

Just got TabS2 today and wondering if most use the Touch whiz launcher or prefer others? I have Nova Launcher Pro on my LG 4 phone and love it but wondering if it better to stay with the Touch Whiz on the S2 or is it just personal preference?
Thanks

I use nova prime across all my devices. It's personal prefer but nova can be tweaked better in my opinion

I'm also a Nova Prime devotee. Came from my old Nexus 7, took one look at Touchwiz and thought "no thanks" and NP was one of the first apps to go onto it. Absolutely no regrets or question at all, running beautifully.
using Google launcher cause I used to have nexus tablets...
Thanks for the input guys. Decide to use the Nova launcher I feel it best around.
