ADW Launcher Ex...for true customisation no other launcher even comes close! I purchased this app while back and then abandoned it but later when time came to customise my tablet, most of the setups I came across recommended using ADW. I went back to it and gosh am running the MetroUI setup currently and its awesome!
+ 1 for ADW EX
Apex launcher works great on my prime!
Lol i'm still running stock launcher .So far so good with it.

I've actually tried most all of them; Go Luncher Ex, Apex Launcher, ADWLauncher Ex, Go Launcher HD for Pad, and Nova Launcher.
I'm using Nova Launcher now. The one thing Nova Launcher does is allow me to use the entire screen. It seems that all the other launchers have very large margins on the left and right. With Nova Launcher, I can place icons and widgets right up to the edge for the screen.
Don't seem to be able to do that with the other launchers. Nova Launcher has a margin control setting.
+1 for ADW Launcher EX.
I use it for the customization.
Using HUBS on my Prime at the moment, and I love it!
This probably ought to be in the Themes and Apps forum, but I have been using Go HD for a few weeks, and I really dig it. It does glitch out every once in a while, but other than that, it has been great.

Which soda is best for killing my thirst? It's a matter of opinion!
I really like Nova Launcher. It is like what stock would be with more options. You can add rows and columns to the desktop and the drawer, resize widgets, and customize docks with scrolling and hiding, if you use them.
And Coke is the best
I used to use adw ex on tf101 with honeycomb, but adw ex doesn't work well with ics (scrolling Widgets problems) .
Now using nova and its quite nice..
Unfortunally less confifuration options and cannot resize all widgets....

Anyone have the apk for ADW, think I should give it a shot? It says it's not compatible with the Prime in the Play Store.

Nova works on the Prime and there is another called Trebuchet (launcher from CM9) which also works.

Another vote for ADW Launcher Ex. It's just plain awesome
i used adw ex on HC almost exclusively, but for some reason or another have been quite satisfied with the stock launcher on ICS.
but adw works, go launcher ex (should) work, as well as the CM9 launcher.

Do scrollable widgets work for you guys on ADWLauncher ex?
They don't work for me (agenda widget+, bookmarks widget) making it a showstopper. Will give Go launcher a try as well... Scrollable widgets work fine on the stock launcher btw.
*Edit*
Go Launcher seems to work fine
The inky scrollable widget that I've tried is the ASUS task manager widget, which doesn't scroll on ADW Launcher Ex.

+1 ADW
Stock launcher is good but I only want two desktop pages and nothing more. Just one of the many customizations I must have.
Adw EX is always very buggy for me. Is this not the case for any of you?
The only way adw is buggy for me is that i cannot scroll in widgets, as described earlier. And that is more annoying than i thought it would be..
Comtemplating on going with the stock launcher now..
Go Launcher for both phone and tablet here.

Yes that is the only bug I've experienced, which I don't mind because neither of the widgets I use have scrolling.
Tried ADW but prefer Go Launcher. More options and I fell it just looks better.

I'm surprised nobody mentioned Launcher Pro? I've been using that. I don't mind the stock launcher really, except for the "google" on the top and the microphone. If I could get that off the screen then I'd actually probably use stock.
Nice thing about Launcher Pro is the re sizing of widgets. That comes in handy.
I find the stock launcher to be pretty good and does not need to be replaced. Unless If I were to replace it would probably be for ADW also.
I like the app drawer in the stock better.

Go launcher offers many choices and especially better alignment of the icons

I used a handful of different launchers, and ultimately liked ADW EX the best on HC. For ICS, though, I've actually been happy enough with stock. I miss the swipe gestures when using stock, but the stock launcher seems like the fastest and prettiest so far, for me anyway.
If you need the extra options though, I'd say go with ADW EX.

I really like Go Launcher, but it was actually kinda glitchy for me on ICS, and I found that the lack of dock options made it somewhat unpleasant on a tablet. Did I miss something, or is there a way to disable the dock entirely?
What's the best launcher/home replacement and why is it the best?
So far I have found none that i like...
I use goLauncherEX on my phone (DroidX), but i feel it should be more integrated in the OS
I use apex launcher, its basically a more customized version of the stock launcher.
I like ADW ex which is the paid option. Runs great and lots of features although I have found in similar to go launcher which you don't like.
nova launcher is pretty awesome i think. keeps the stock style and feel but adds so much more functionality. it works great on the tablet, especially after the last update. it's not going to have a dock though, like adw. that's your call, but i find it to be betst. there is a little landscape wallpaper bug the dev needs to work out. but that's not due to the tablet, it happens on phones too. it's mature but stilll in developement.

Nova Launcher
Apex Launcher
Both in beta, not in Market.
Personally I use ADW. It has some limitations(no scrolling widgets ATM and maybe other things that I don't know about), but it has some really nice customization options. I am currently using it with a "HUBS" style homescreen and I really like it.
Just curious if there is a launcher like Apex that's compatible with GB Roms. Thanks.

I did remember there was a ICS like launcher for GB called "ICS launcher" or something.
But to be honest that one s*cked.
If you are looking for a launcher replacement, go launcher worked pretty well for me when I was on GB.
I always just used a Ice Cream Sandwich theme that works with ADW and Go also I think some other lunchers too.

When I was using GB I was using GO launcher it works really well and allows you to do a lot of customizing.
Adw = apex
They have same menus and configs other than the ics features. My apex setup is exactly the same as adw when I was on gb.

Took the words right out of my mouth. I would highly recommend holo launcher. It's the only ics launcher that truly simulates the ics experience perfectly (or as perfectly as you can on gingerbread). The biggie for me was the stackable shortcuts feature. This is the only one I tried that truly got it right. Spot on. And it's super smooth too.

Could not agree more! Best that I have found. ADW is also really good... just really hard to customize. Especially with custom Icons. Here's a screen shot of Holo Launcher.
I think you should go for ADW Launcher buddy...
I use holo launcher before but ADW is so good... :good: just like some user said above its like Apex launcher
here is my GALAXY Ace Plus with ADW launcher

I have to say my personal favorite is Apex. It gives all of the features needed, in a nice clean package!
I personally tried Go Launcher, but found it to be too obtrusive and it lacked the polish that I was wanting.
I will include a link that needs to be fixed for the time being, as I still am a "new" user :/

I'm not sure what recommendations you're looking for, as you've tried 10+ launchers, including all of the popular ones. IMO, Apex and Nova work best with the TFP. They also have been built from the stock ICS launcher with added functionality. Personally, I use Apex and love it. I use a custom grid size that works well in landscape, as well as portrait without cutting off any of my apps or widgets. I'd say give one of those two launchers another shot.

From what I've read about it it isn't a launcher. Instead it will be built into phones/tablets kind of like sense on htc stuff. Hopefully someone finds a way to turn it into a launcher or modifies it to run on the prime, but it may be awhile before any of that happens.

The best GO Launcher HD
Apex is the best launcher i've got on my Prime. To phone I recomend GO Launcher Ex
Using SPB shell 3d. Awesome.
My prime in not near by. I will post screen shots when it is.
Used SPB shell 3d on my phone and was shocked when it looked better on my tablet.
Stack and scrollable widgets strangely work on the tablet and not on the phone!!!!
my favourite
my favourite launcher is the touchwiz ux launcher from the galaxy tab 10.1 although you got to have root to use it with widgets its realy nice and almost no lag
I have used Go Launcher and Holo Launcher, however I know there are a ton of different launchers out there. Just wanted to see what other user's views were! If you could add what you specifically like about your launcher! Thanks
