I was a fan of adw ex but honestly this ics launcher is pretty sweet and very smooth so its the 1st time I'm sticking with stock launcher..
What have you decided on?

ADW is especially bad on Honeycomb. So far nobody has topped the stock launcher's UI.

I agree....but I REALLY like having the color-coded icons...do you guys just have normal colored icons?
Any app thats good for JUST theming icons and in a small/non-laggy way?
Go launcher seems pretty swift. Loving the cylinder page scroll effect!

Still in beta - but very nice additional options...

I'm using stock. If it not broke...don't try and fix it I figure!
On honeycomb I always used adw because the stock was crap IMO. Ics has improved the stock launcher so much I stay on stock

This is exactly how I feel. I liked some of the additional options like different swiping styles etc, but they weren't that important.
This stock one is awesome with folder, the new of moving widgets around and how smooth it is that I just kept it.
You know they did a good job when the stock launcher is just as good as the rest

I am using ADW for 3 reasons:
- customizable rows-columns grid (I need it because I use Desktop Visualizer)
- dock
- shortcut in the top-left corner of the screen which I use for Screen off and Lock (very useful because it's not always convenient to use the power botton which is on the back of the tablet)
I have been on Team EOS nightlies until 2 days ago and it was very smooth, but it had some FC.
Now I am trying Team Rogue's CM9 and it seems even more fluid and no FC until now.
However I also tested Go Launcher (terrible), Trebuchet (see above + not enough fluid), Nova (the best one, but not optimized for tablets, I'll test it again later).
So ADW now, but I'm looking forward to Nova's updates
Im OK with eos far.
I wanna look into NOVA too. Apparently it modifies the stock launcher or something?

Stock for me. I personally don't see a reason not to. But to others - I respect that YMMV.
Hi all.
For me and my Xoom ist the ADW Launchner the best Launcher. Because the ADW is smoother as the Stock Launcher on the Xoom.

I am. And since the thread title includes ICS, I would assume others are too.
Tried Launcher Pro but its laggy with ICS. Nova works great for me.
Stock ICS launcher for me. ICS launcher = everything wrong with the stock Honeycomb launcher FIXED plus some added goodies thrown in for good measure. I tried ADW on NC but never had the patience to set it up exactly the way I wanted it.
Stock here, but I'm probably going to attempt to put Trebuchet on my ICS Xoom soon.

Works fine for me! Best launcher, most configurable.
Any screenshots of this 3D drawer?
I never have any issues with launchers but go launcher has never been fluid for me. This goes back to my samsung vibrant and the homescreens switch smooth but menu is choppy. I still use it everyday though lol.

I have tried most launchers, Go launcher Ex is the best in my opinion. I actually thought that touchwiz was based on it.
I think all laucher always decrease battery life!
So where's the download? Or is it inside the new GO launcher beta?
Honestly, I tried go launcher and it seemed good till all my widgets were in place. Launcherpro and adw ex are the only two that can handle my setup and remain completely smooth in performance. Eventually I found adw ex to be the better of the two, though it redraws more often than launcherpro did.

Used adw ex pro for long enough, then switched to launcher pro, i know the insides and outs of both, on go launcher now and not going back
Too slow for me. LPP or ADW are smoothest.
Go has improved significantly, but for my setup the widgets of launcher pro swings it for me.

Go Launcher EX 3D drawer is clearly faster than ADW EX 3D (transparent). LP still does not have transparent 3D drawer so cannot argue, but I'm sure it would be fastest. It's simply way smoother than any other launcher when it comes to extra desktop transitions and 3D drawer.
ADW EX would be my favorite launcher, but it constantly suffers from tiny lag when you have seven homescreens and stuff on most of them. It's not bad, but it always comes up enough to not feel super smooth.

Is there any new fast launcher that looks good on the atrix lately?
I just got DarkSide rom but the launcher is so laggy.

Suggestions?

Zeam Launcher is probably the lightest but you loose a lot of functionality. There's also ADW.Launcher, QQLauncher, Launcher 7, and 360 Launcher which marko! suggested though I haven't tried it. I love Go Launcher but that's just me. Try out the other ones and see how you like them.
Been using GO launcher for about a month now, i love it. But there is always Adw....

Hi,
Touchwizz is great but it's laggy, did anyone try to use the stock apk launcher from the xoom or the asus transformer?
I found an apk but the installation doesn't work

+1 on this one.
ADW EX is really fantastic!
The problem with TouchWiz is that it's much more than just a launcher; it affects the entire system from the way menus look, transition effects, the buttons at the bottom, etc.
If you really want a stock Android experience, we need someone to develop an AOSP ROM of some sort. Here's to hoping that the Cyanogemod team builds us a version of CM9!!!
I have tried, but it's like gingerbreab and i love the holo theme of honeycomb(and ics) (the transitions and animations)
AOSP Loancher
Yeah lets hope they include the stock loancher with ICS. We are half way there now that Google forced all OEMs to include the stock launcher code even if its not used. Might enable us to use the Cyanogen "Trebuchet" launcher.
For now I guess Ill try Go Launcher and ADW later. Was not very happy with ADW on my SGS2. Lots of bugs.

Better than Nova according to me

Yes, its the most bAtter, you can even make cookies and cake from it
Don't know about stock ICS, but it's buttery smooth on CM9 and it has more juicy features than the other stock ICS based launchers.
Nova all the way for me.. Smooth and cube out transition is better. Apex one gives me headaches.

You can't go wrong with either. I prefer Nova for it's stability and speed...way less drawer redraws than Apex. However, Apex has notification bubbles for your dock, ie Phone, SMS, etc. which I wish Nova had.

Try QuickPic. And to switch between scorllable portrait and fixed it is in the apex settings.
Apex used with minimal text app is amazing. Being able to add widgets to the dock is another great reason to use apex. It'll take a lot for me to change to a different launcher now.

Are you guys using the stock launcher or nova/apex? I've stuck with stock so far cause the performance is great but I was thinking about installing Nova for the extra features and what not. How is the performance on Nova/apex for those that are using them?
I use Apex and it works nicely

Sweet. Just as smooth as stock?
I'm a huge fan of Nova on my Nexus 7 but don't find that it looks particularly good on the 10. The issue is the the smallest dock height is way too tall so the icons get scaled up and do the look sharp. Once I figure out how to solve that I'll go back to the Nova.

Easiest way to solve this is to turn the dock off, and just line up your icons ...

I only use a single home page, so I wouldn't know
Using Apex. Got rid of all widgets on both launchers and they're evenly smooth. Apex's transition speed is a lot faster, so it may look like it's getting "caught" and then moving quickly. I slowed down the transitions, and they look more or less the same now.
I want 3 home screens and use a few widgets so not good for me, which is annoying as you can't lower the number of stock home screens.
Thought I'd tried adw already, have full version of that too. Was sure it was worse than apex/nova but I shall give it a try later.
Used to use it on my s3 until jelly bean. Not sure if it's the jelly bean optimisation or what? but to me nothing runs as smooth as stock since jb on both my devices, even TW!
