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

I recently moved to ICS and my favourite home/app launcher was Go Launcher EX but in ICS uses double a third to double more RAM.
Would welcome suggestions for alternatives, I tried Nova and Apex launchers but I like to put certain apps together in folders and have these folders both in app drawer and option to put its shortcut on home screen. Was unable to this in latter two. (Additionally I like to gesture directly to running apps. )
Let us know your favourite launcher in ICS and whether it gives the above requested function.
Thanks

I'm using Apex and I love it for its speed even if I've not played with all its features yet.
Stock launcher is the best
Teamhacksung ICS 4.03 Build 17
I've been using Nova since its beta12 and i have to say it is very fast and quite customizable... maybe you can try a themable launcher, like ADW, and install an ICS-theme to keep the look...
Try espier launcher.
Its kinda like miui so you won't have an app drawer.

I suggest the TFUI launcher.
Grate, smoothe, and not uses much RAM
Tried Zeam,Go launcher,nova,tsf,apex
Right now feel that Apex is the best one with regards to speed, ease of use & functionality except themes
you can try nova.
Another vote for Nova.
my favorite: go launcher
I try out Nova and apex launcher and finaly sty with the apex launcher because I like it slightly more. Also it is still free with all features and Nove is splitted into light and full version (full cost money). I try also the full Nova version but as I point out apex launcher is my favourite
my favourite is --> Zeam Launcher <-- because it's got old style, (old School ) and just simple to use , with no problems & enough speed for me

+1 Apex Launcher is smooth, and it also has all of Nova's Features and More. (Plus it's free )
I use the Nova launcher. Pretty close to ICS as I see it but the cube animation is a lot like golauncher which I use on my tablet.
I use the trebuchet, its the smoothest so far compared to all others

Since I am content running the Black Ice rom, I decided to use the zeam launcher that comes with it. I had to force myself to stop using GO Launcher, because i felt it was useless to change roms, if i was just going to put the same Launcher over it.

I tried them all. At first I liked Nova but then switched to the default 'launcher' however after updating to zips 3.11, the default launcher no longer exists.

TouchWiz FTW. I have tried Nova and Apex and ended up back on TW. Sammy have done a good job with their launcher and it's widgets and features.
I like Apex, It has a load of options and is easy to find themes for.... Paid version has a few extras as per normal and works well with JB. Devs seem to jump on any issues pretty quick too...

I completely agree with Kangburra. Stock Touchwiz is excellent.
BUT if you want to use another launcher, go for Apex Launcher. I've used Nova Launcher and I think Apex is much better. Just my opinion.
in terms of features : apex > nova > trebuchet > TW5 > stock android launcher
in terms of smoothness : stock android launcher > trebuchet > nova > TW5 > apex
my 2 cents
Apex
Nova Prime, hands down.
SS Launcher :thumbup:
Apex, Nova
I prefer Nova prime over Apex / TW.
But really looking forward to Action launcher's release. It looks promising.
"Best" <fill in the blank> threads are not allowed. It's subjective and what is personally the best for one person sucks for the other.

I personally use ADW EX, which I find smooth, fast and responsive almost 95% of the time. Anyone has any better ideas what launcher to use for better performance?

+1 for Nova, working well for me
if you don't want much fanciness than Zeam Launcher is for you. However I am personally loving Holo Launcher HD especially with the gestures that can be used with the free version. I installed the APK from dubi's hidebar and now all I have to do to hide the bar is swipe up.
I'm still liking ADW free. The last update was an improvement.

Well, there are many lauchers out there, in my opinion, Nova/Apex Launcher is the best one, because of it's customizability.
Touchwiz Launcher isn't bad, but there aren't much options to customize it, like larger app grid.
If you want to try a comletely new Launcher, you should try out Themer (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mycolorscreen.themer).
Agreed

Themer is quite good, but annoyed me that it has no "keep in memory" option, as I'd press home and wait for it to load. Currently I'm using, and loving, the Google Experience Launcher. Aviate is also quite good.
Nova launcher is my main primary launcher, it's speedy and timely updates. The customisation is excellent to although I use the prime version. I've got Apex as well but prefer Nova. Aviate as mentioned above is unique but still needs further development before I contemplate using it primarily.
