Are there any roms or launchers out there similar to the iPad's iOS for the Kindle Fire?
MIUI roms are really as close as you can get outside of launcher themes off the market
Tutorial:
Put all your app icons on homescreen
Delete all your widgets
Delete your App Drawer shortcut
voila
I think its called Esperian Launcher in the market.

I use FolderOrganizer because a friend recommended. I used the free version until Amazon had it one day as the Free App. It works great.
I am absolutely baffled that my Samsung Epic does this out of the box, but my friggen tab needs an app to do it.
HD Widgets
Edit:
Check out "HD Widgets" - https://market.android.com/details?id=cloudtv.hdwidgets

I use App Folder Pro simple and easy to use.
If you go with a custom launcher like adw ex, which sounds like it will be one of the 10 cent apps from Google soon, the launcher now has the ice cream sandwich folder option. Just drag the apps together and now you have a folder.

I got the ADWex launcher for 10 cents. Unfortunately the folder icon is so small on the tablet. I can't find a way to increase the side of the folder. Any ideas?
What's the best launcher to use for the Transformer? I like the Espier HD (not officially supported but it works), but it has issues with removing apps from the home screen. Are there any other launchers that simulate the iPad home screen (and icons)?
Apex launcher. Doesn't do what you say but its the best in my opinion

Latest version of Apex Pro can have a dock. It also has the little notification badges on Gmail, MMS and Phone. It even has an option to turn the look of the folders to iOS. Apex can also use ADW Launcher icon packs... you should be able to find and iOS look a like ADW icon pack. Check it out. It may not simulate it exactly but it does has some aspects of iOS.
well what do you know, espier released a new version late last night/early this morning that is much more stable and reliable. how ironic.
You really should check this out.

I use the GO Launcher HD and am happy with that It suits my needs very well
Dear all,
How can I sort the apps in App drawer? I searched the forums for the ones related to Jelly bean, found this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1881712 , but Nexus 4 has a different UI than Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1; on the top right in app drawer I see the app store icon. The user manual provided by LG is also of not much help. I hope I don't need a specific launcher to do just this. I have used Sony Xperia series before and it gives several sorting option of apps in app drawer, specially: "sorting by recently installed" is a very useful one. I hope I could do the same here.
Best regards.

You have to use a third party launcher for this feature. Stock android launcher is pretty basic.
You can probably even grab the stock Samsung Launcher or stock Sony launcher pretty easy. All OEM's do is remove the android launcher and replace it with their own anyways.

Thanks elliot, I am intending to try Nova or Go launcher, I hope one of them has this feature! I couldn't find it so far for Nova launcher though.

Nova launcher is the way to go! I've tried apex launcher too (not on this though), but nova kicks ass!

Title says it all. I am currently using Apex, but have wondered about Nova, Trebuchet etc...
Is there much of a difference between them? Also, if you select 'always' when asked which launcher to use (if you have more than one loaded) is there anyway to reverse that to use a different one?
BTW, I am using TWA_privs latest (0223) ROM and its unbelievably good...
Thanks....

I use the stock CM10.1 launcher. Trebuchet, I like the layout and settings for it. And t change launchers, go to setting an find the launcher you currently use user apps. And click clear defualts
For CM7 I prefer ADW EX and for 4.x.x+, I prefer Trebuchet I try to avoid launchers that will show up in the running category under Settings- Apps like Go Launcher and the newest ADW. The less running processes the better IS MY OPINION because the Kindle's limited memory.
I have grown to love Trebuchet because it usually is included as the stock launcher for JB ROMs. The reason I like ADW EX for CM7 is because ADW was included on the CM7 ROMs and one day I wanted to try the EX version of it and it was quite nice with the density hack to make the icons appear bigger.

holo launcher hd
I use holo launcher hd. It looks and acts a lot like apex and trebuchet, but has HD in the name (so its gotta be good!).
Try chameleon launcher..u would not come back to apex or trebuchet pr anything..and spb shell 3d is also a great launcher..very smooth..keep in mind that chameleon launcher is landscape only..

Chameleon Launcher is a good concept, but it never quite caught on. At first they released it for $12 in the play store. I got it and it need a lot of work it was still betas. I got a refund and haven't tried it since. I was reading reviews and it still is not up to par, with little actual customization and limited widgets. Makes it almost seem like ios
