Very nice ics launcher, looks good and has a nice feel to it, made by the Team Syndicate, i will keep posting updates as it go's
ADDED: Honeycomb Launcher, looks pretty much like the original honeycomb launcher, even kind of has the recent apps button which works good
Looks great but a few problems
I also tried this launcher and though that it looked great. However, I can't seem to prevent the system from force closing it, even with system persist, but otherwise its great!

That's weird, its never force closed on me before but sometimes it just shuts down when I'm using it, but I still use it as my home launcher

used it for 10 seconds nearly killed myself in the process. extremely laggy!
+1. I've got to have it 100% smooth and this was far from smooth.
Changed to Sense template. Rock for me on Adeo v 2

+1 the changing between home screens is terrible. You can literally watch the lag. Cool "themes" poor execution.
I suggest freezing motoblur. Mine works perfectly!!
Worked fine for me, it just lacks about any kind of custom setup beyond the theme which are pretty sweet

No problems here either, simple but smooth and fast. I like how you can flick up to hide the status bar

Found a bug since this doesn't work with other launchers found on my device. Whenever I reboot my phone, some of my apps are missing in the App Drawer, but when I go to say Launcher Pro or Arc Launcher, they are definitely there and I can open them up. Has this happened to anyone else?? If the developer can look into this, hopefully it will be fixed in the next release.

I tried it quite a while ago but wasn't very impressed. I'm pretty sure that GO Launcher EX will let you set up a swipe up gesture to hide the status bar, among other things.

Hey guys , I'm sure that like many of you , I tried the new touchwiz Rom. Since it wasn't quite as smooth as I would like it to be, I flashed back to Bonsai . I am however missing those Widgets, would it be possible for someone to upload them where we can install them? I know they are odexed, but thought one of you guys could still work it out . Surprisingly in all my time with android, that is something I have never found myself needing to do, so I'm honestly quite ignorant about it . I do know that we just can't push to system/app ... since I tried haha.
If anyone could help me out that would be awesome. I'm sure there are a few others that would be appreciative as well
Have you checked out Wizz Widgets?
I too was trying out Touchwiz and it lagged bad, And the small app tray was never used anyways so I tried out the Wizz on Bonsai, loving it
What a great request. I tried touchwiz EUR wifi and it was laggy as well, but I loved the layout and widgets.
I would also like the Aurora live wallpaper from touchwiz, if possible.
I am going to try out wizz widgets.

Hmm ...alright then, was worth a shot. I got wizz Widgets like was suggested, they are nice but are preety much just like the launcher pro plus Widgets..except not themeable :-(
I'll stay on the hunt . I liked the added color that they gave my screen, maybe Bonsai will come up with a way to integrate touchwiz and be smooth.
If I discover anything I'll report back here. Thanks for the replies .
I am very disappointed in Launcher Pro Plus as after about a week of use, it begins to force close almost every time I power on my phone. What a good launcher to try? Thanks in advance!

Alright Then Well There's ADW Which Is Cool And There Is GOLauncher EX. Those Are The Top Two. I'm Using LPP, Sorry You're Having Issues With It.
I too had major issues with LPP on the X2. I was a long time LPP user, but switched to Go Launcher and I haven't looked back. I've been using it for a little over a month and I haven't had a single force close or redraw. I won't be going back to LPP anytime soon.
The only thing I missed from LPP when I switched were the calendar and agenda widgets that were built into LPP. I downloaded Colorized Widgets (free) and the widgets are nearly identical to LPP.
I was using the FB and Twitter widgets. Not sure if they were causing the issues! I would get freezes that sometimes turned into force closes. Attempted to contact the Dev..., UH but you know how that's goes sometimes with some of these guys!

It was FC on me everytime I swiped to switch screens - made it completely unusable for me. I have tried them all, and nothing beats ADW EX in my opinion.
Rock solid.
Same thing is happening to me. I already bought LPP from the market, it was like $3, I really don't want to shell out another $3 or $4, I think developers should be fixing problems with their apps. I've bought so many apps for a purpose and then later they stop working because of a new android version, or they just become buggy altogether.
Go Launcher EX is free and has all the features of the paid versions of LPP and ADW. Plus, the GO team is constantly updating it.
Im sure the widgets have something to do with it.. I have been using LPP since day 1 on gb and not had had a single FC or issue with it.. Its FAST, and i have a few widgets on it:
-the weather channel
-Scorebook
-Sticky Notes
-Touch Calendar Pro
-Digital Clock Widget
-BT/AP/Wifi/GPS On/Off
not a single issue.. also have a few shortcut icons there.
I even had the 3d effect on for a while, but i turned it off cause i liked the bigger icons top and bottom instead of the fold over effect.. which is nifty tho.
I run launcher pro and only have had 2 force closes since I updated to gb

Is it me or does it not have an option to hide the status bar? I just tried it out after using LP for a half day and immediately had to switch back. Using Launcher Pro since I updated to GB yesterday, it seems nice, but I haven't found many good themes for it to entice me to get the premium version. On the other hand I came from ADW, and while it seems like LP is better in a few ways, ADW has a large awesome list of themes you can install which has been tempting me to return to it.
Here is another launcher for ICS. It is like stock launcher but have options like adw and launcher pro ie transparent app drawer, gestures, lock desktop etc.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1452663
I'm definitely gonna try this out. Not sure how much experience yyouve had with this but installing as system app shouldnt remove the default launcher your rom comes with? ie most ICS roms come with trebuchet launcher?
No, it installs as normal app and you don't need to move it to /system folder for widgets to show up in app drawer.
good find on this launcher, it feels alot like launcher pro but totally revamped for ics
just needs resizable widgets

I cant believe i missed that, thanks for the heads up, this is quite an awesome launcher i dont think i can go back to anything that doesnt use ics as a base any more
what do you prefer,this or NOVA?
personally on my galaxy nexus i prefer nova..but only because it's more mature.apex is a month newer,but with already a lot of features..nova,at this time,have more features,but i find apex more speedy and i hadn't got any issues or unstability also on gpu-renderized
works great in ICS passion v 12
Guys and girls, just a heads up - updating Apex Launcher is apparently resulting in Force Close dialog ad nauseam - DO NOT update Apex for now or else you'll be stuck. Thankfully I had Avast installed and using the Avast Application Manager I managed to access Apex's App Info page and uninstalled updates, now back to normal but won't update it for now. Recent Apex reviews on Play Store show that this is not ROM-related or an isolated event. You've been warned. (If you read this that is)...

Last night my phone auto updated the apex launcher and exactly what you said happened. I went into clockwork recovery and tried to restore and it gave an error and now the phone seems bricked. It won't boot up beyond the vibrant screen, and it won't let me get into recovery. What should I do?

Are you tired/bored of your traditional Honeycomb Launcher? Are you in need of using folders?
Then you should try GO Launcher HD for Pad.

Yes, nice launcher indeed, I'm using it for a couple of days.
Just having some problems with widget loading (palmary weather and widgetsoid), but not exclusive of this launcher, had the same problem with ADW EX.
looking good, will try it.
Thanx for the tip

As soon as i get home i will post it...
as promised here attached is the stock launcher taken from asus transformer rom, i think it is a 3.1 launcher because it doesn't have widget resize option, if i find a 3.2 working stock launcher i will post it..
NOTE: this is only for rooted devices, you can't install it, but you have to copy it in the /system/app folder, then press the home button, if it doesn't ask you to choose between sony and stock launcher try rebooting your device, make sure to have a backup rom (see condi tool) before, there should not be any problem you know...
I can't seem to install it.... I put it in system/app... Rebooted and it still doesn't show up...

Gotta change permissions
Sent from my Sony Tablet S using xda premium
I haven't changed any permission, i've used file manager hd to copy the file to the folder..maybe it does it in automatic?
I recommend that you use root explorer instead.
When it comes to permissions, he means that YOU have to set the correct permissions when you have moved/copied the file.
The correct permission is 644 (rw-r--r--) (r=4 w=2 x=1)
yup
I have Go Launcher on both my phone and tablet and absolutely love it.
thanks...
Has anybody tried some launchers designed specifically for ICS yet?
I'm running Apex Launcher (free) now and it works really well with the ICS update. Keeps the same slick look and feel, but takes away that "Favorites" button I never use, no small icons up top, and no more of that choppy fast scrolling feature that Sony built into their launcher. Some nice customization options too.
Can get it here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.anddoes.launcher&hl=en
I'll probably install Trebuchet (CM9 launcher) and see how it works later tonight.
nice

The Apex Launcher looks nice, but I don't see anything that GO Launcher does not do. I especially love all of the widgets that are available for GO.
Don't know anything about Trebuchet.

Try ADW launcher. It has tons of customizations
Really cool
Same here, ADW Launcher is much better than GO Launcher. I especially like it because we can hide the top bar alltogether.

because the DEV has not released it's theme factory may be.
It's still in beta..
GO Launcher HD is still to early to put on our tablet imo, no themes and some GO widgets arent workin properly. Don't get me wrong, its a great work in progress, but its still in progress non the less.
Installed GO Launcher EX when I bought the STS and havent found anything better yet.
I'm sure if they keep up the good work on GO-HD it'll be awesome in a few months.
