Anyone know if there is a way to make themer beta themes usable in aosp theme engine? I like the themes but the launcher itself leaves something to be desired. Not as polished / smooth as apex or nova. Thanks
Screenshot below is from themer beta. Would love to get this setup running on another launcher

I've wondered this as well. I have a nook tablet, Kindle fire hd, and transformer prime, all running CM11 and can't install themer on any of those devices...

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
Ps: i'm not root
Im curious about this too although i hate touchwiz... i would love to be able to get a stock build of ICS on the Galaxy Tab 7.7 and do away with touchwiz completely..

Not sure abut stock launcher but ADW EX is as smooth as butter. Give it a try.

+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.

ADW Launcher EX supports Themes, and in the market there are themes for Holo HC theme you mentioned.

Can anyone recommend a good Launcher which works with the Nexus 7, with a DPI of 160.
Cheers
Apex works well
Sent from my oc'd cm10 nexus 7
I dunno bout 160dpi, but I use holo launcher. Works flawless. And is jb compatible.
I use nova, apex, and chameleon on rotation. All are jb compatible = ). Chameleon is a new style of launcher which puts focus on widgets and profiles for example work play casual etc. Its in beta right now and will be a available to all soon.
I have been running Cyanogen Mod ROM for so long, and used to standard settings like making the screen grid 5x5, I know that is not an option with a stock Nexus.
What launcher would you recommend for the Nexus 4 that allows those tweaks ? I know there is Nova...Apex...and ADW is back again. Will these launchers still allow new 4.2 features to work, like the new notification stuff, etc... ?
The notification system is within the OS not the launcher so yes, you can choose Apex, Nova or ADW. I don't believe 4.2 makes any drastic changes to the launcher that will opt you to use the stock one instead of a third party alternative. Not to mention the devs for these launchers are still pretty active so if there's something new in the 4.2 launcher, you'll see them update it pretty quick on their launcher.
I'll personally be running ADW or Nova.
I'll probably use Nova. Nova and Apex are damn near identical minus a few differences. I paid for both, but originally started using Nova regularly because it felt smoother.

I'll probably use the stock one until CM10.1 or whatever they call it comes out, then Trebuchet.
I'm going to give Nova a shot. I use it on my GNex and it is pretty beast and suits my needs.
I paid for Nova prime I'm gonna use it lol. Fast as all hell on my nexus so I'll assume its faster on the four.

I use go launcher and Contacts EX
Nova and rest lack to many feature and aren't even free.......
Been using Nova with all my roms flashed and will use it with the N4!
Stock all day
I bought Nova back when it was on sale and haven't looked back since. It's pretty much the stock launcher (same source) but with added features.
Nova or Apex are both good. Apex better on battery but Nova is richer.

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.

I use Apex for it's ease in customization.

I also use apex. I feel it is the smoothest and most fluid.

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 use action launcher pro on my phone and on my kindle running JB. I've bought the full versions of nova and Launcher, but keep going back to action launcher. The shutters feature is awesome
I use Apex because t is super light and buttery on CM9

Also Apex Launcher (similar to Nova but some slight differences).
I tend to use either Nova or Apex (currently Nova since they were the first to add in KitKat's transparent status bar) but Themer is on track to be very cool for people who want something a little less like an extended version of the stock launcher. It's still in beta but it's from the folks at mycolorscreen who have become the best source for custom theming on Android.
My number 1 spot would go to Themer. Liked it from my old phone. Since I'm not that keen on customizing anymore, and I want to have Google Now with just 1 swipe away on my homescreen, I don't use it currently. But from all the launchers I have tried so far, themer is my favorite one. The second place goes to Action Launcher.
Good information sharing..
Where is the Mi Launcher?

@hapticc - your page isn't opening mate
about the launchers, my favorite atm is holo launcher...
cos all i need from a launcher is gesture swipes.. up & down for notification & app drawer..
nova & apex have these only in paid version..
i wish GEL would incorporate gestures..
along with access for google now & LMT, that would be perfect

I was always a nova user since i had a galaxy nexus. Since getting the nexus 5 though, i discovered more customization tools for themes and widgets, and ive been using Go launcher just because it works with the aesthetic/homescreen setup im currently using.
If nova launcher had a few more tweaks to it like icons not clipping/cropping, id probably go back to using it.

Yeah they updated it to work on their website but the play store version wasn't updated yet. I had a thread on it. The only thing I don't like about it is non transparent nav bar. The notification bar is transparent but not the nav bar. In the broken version it was transparent. Not sure why it was removed unless that's what caused the issues
