is there any way to do this on jellybean? supercharger doesn't work for making my home screen bulletproof as it still constantly redraws. any way to edit the build prop to do something about keeping the launcher in memory? its getting kind of annoying.

just use a third party one that has this feature built-in
yeah I want to avoid that. I use nova on my s3 but stock jb is so much smoother than nova.

Upgraded to ICS yesterday, so far ok.. nothing amazing. But glad to have it. Is it not possible to make folders by dropping one App on top of another like on the Nexus??
thanks, and sorry if this was asked.. I checked, didn't see.
That's why touchwiz sucks
Your best bet is to get ics launcher like apex

Oddly enough, I just tried Apex... but every widget I try adding, I get a message at the bottom saying "there's no more room on this homepage".. even when theres nothing else there! Any suggestions?
Maybe the widgets are too big for the screen you are not running any dpi change on it right? Also you can't add widgets ala ics way unless you are rooted

Thanks.. did that. That helped get some widgets on the screen, but there's still so many, like the digital clock, or power saving widget, for example that just won't fit on the screen.. can't seem to figure out how to get them to fit!! any other suggestions?? thanks!
Happened to me too when I upgraded my Note to ICS yesterday. I didn't touch any of the TW screens but installed and used Apex immediately. When I tried to add e.g. shortcuts to my XDA favorites it came up with the same error. I then checked with TW and there were the shortcuts, on screen 7 (where was some space). I cleaned up TW, i.e. removed all the widgets, and now it works on both launchers. Very strange indeed...

Yeah it wont for me either. Although the widget would resize once in the 5 column but it still hovers above as if it is default 4...so a launchrr issue if it defaulted to 5 for the note it would be fine.

Using the default at the mo.
Any one using anything else?
Apex? etc?
Curious if the default has all the pinch-zoom capabilities of Xscope. I can zoom any mobile page with Xscope, the only browser I found that does that on all sites (like FB).

He meant launcher, not browser lol.
OP, I started apex, but realized what a pita it would be to set up, and said "I'm out" and uninstalled. It works though.

I stuck with the default one since "My Library" doesn't show your library in Apex.

I don't think it does right now. I tried configuring it and, unless I'm missing something, it's stuck in tablet mode. It won't let me get rid of the Tablet app launcher in the top right and the search bar in the top left. Also, all of the icons don't scale right, so they're tiny compared to the stock launcher.
I'm going to roll with stock until Apex updates for JB.
I use Apex. Its really fast and fluid on jellybean!

The vertical and horizontal margin options will fix this. Just change it to small or none.

GoLauncher EX. I know there are newer ones, but it works, runs great, and is consistent with what's on my SGS2. Just never saw a reason to change.

+1 for go launcher. Smoothest and most functional on jelly bean yet. Apex lags with a few icons on screen and nova has a few bugs that need to be ironed out for jelly bean. Go launcher never lags at all 6x10 grid. Plus themes work awesome And effects. Plus it has full features and its free.

I've tried both nova and apex. Apex has some rescaling issues when redrawing icons in tablet mode. Nova is ok but it seems as if many of its features are reserved for the pay version.

I'm having trouble with window animations. When I apply an animation of messes up the entire homescreen. When I try to scroll, the screens get stuck mid animation. I've tried closing ADW and restarting but it doesn't help. I also tried rebooting my device and that didn't help either. Sometimes there will be nothing on the screen at all, but I can ghost click where I know my apps are and it will open the designated app. I find this to be very strange and would appreciate any input. I'm giving thanks away like candy! I really enjoy this launchers abilities and would hate to have to switch.

I don't think adw has been updated in quite a while. It may no longer be in development.

i use ADW EX on my Inc2 and now use Nova Prime for the N7. functions very similar, there's some ADW in Nova, so i feel comfortable with it.
ADW is in development... they only upgrade when a new Android revision hits and then leave it...they updated when ICS came...and will again soon for Jellybean.
Other great launchers are Apex (my current)...or you could go radical with SPB 3D Shell

I use Apex Launcher. Great experience and customization.
Is anyone able to use a 3rd party launcher and not have it constantly redraw?

Yes...some launchers have an option to keep it in memory...not able to remember the names now, but I have seen and used it

I do not keep my launcher in memory and never once had a redraw problem. You shouldnt either because this tablet has plenty of memory

Problem solved by Nova Launcher.
I currently use the full version of Nova and find it awesome but heard Apex is smoother on the Nexus 7. Discuss
Thanks a ton guys

I prefer Nova and use it on my phone, but apex is definitely smoother on this device and is what I use. There's no pullback when moving through homescreens using apex, which is huge IMO.
I use Nova and have extremely fast screen transitions. I don't know what was meant by 'pullback'. I tried Apex also and definitely prefer Nova in conjunction with 'Notification Toggle' which provides true one-touch toggling for rooted users of the various radios.
I tried out Nova and Apex free versions when I first got my Nexus and couldn't tell any difference. It's really personal preference in my opinion. Does it feel smoother to you?
In the end I went with Nova Prime.
ETA: Maybe check out this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901511

In my opinion, Nova is smoother than Apex. I'm not sure about on the N7 though. I used Trebuchet on it before it broke .
The Pull back you are talking about was fixed with last update just a couple days ago now nova is smooth as butter and I highly recommend it

Cool, I'll definitely check it out then.
Edit: Yep, they definitely fixed it. Much better. I'll most likely stick with Nova now.
definitely Nova Launcher...
I was using Apex and loving it!!
until for some reason on my Nexus 7, when i landscape mode, widgets didnt work,
i tried reset factory,
delete Apex cache, then reinstall,
still in landscape widgets dont work,
so i changed to Nova and the customization is superb and perfect, loving it at the moment...
I used to use Go Laucher
Now I am using Nova Launcher Prime
It gives you more customization
Apex seems to be much smoother in my opinion.

I have both paid for versions. I'm currently using Nova Prime on the 7 as u love the fact you can set a custom tap action for folders and have swipe open the folder. So I have a folder with various browsers I use but a tap on the folder opens chrome.
