While I have a license for LauncherProPlus, it shows that it's not a launcher built for tablets. Neither are the most well-known ones like ADW or GO Launcher. Is there any good Launcher thought up for tablets? I only found anTab in the market, and though it does seem interesting (and no, it's not because of the wallpapers ), I'm reluctant to pay 5 euro for a launcher which can only be used in portrait mode.
looks like the 1.6 laucher and only portrait yuk!!
i use adw plus so you can customise it alot and with some good widgets you can make it work well. i like coulourize beause their big and scrollable and just work well on the big screen!
im using ADW Launcher EX, with the Gingerbread Blue Theme.
Very nice launcher! Smooth and so on.
And you can set it to landscape only.
Hey Guys I just posted up my new Tablet oriented launcher project over in the G-Tablet forums. Check it out! it might be what you are looking for. Should work great on the VEGA!

It shows a lot of promise indeed, i've just installed it and it looks great. Looking forward for updates!
I love this.... using it for a day or 2 but no launcher is replacing this.
- is ther still room for an option in a way to keep it as fast as it is.
Your own custom icons ( like rocketdock ) no i.m not an apple lover i would have bought an ipad but i love to make it my own personal thingy.. lol
If it cant be done no problem i will love it anyway.
thank for making this.

Just read about QQLauncher on www.reddit.com/r/android. It's a very nice launcher offering just what the default launcher misses. It's a shame so few widgets work. Try it out, especially the animations are slick.

Do you know where to find more working widgets? Only SiMi clock and simple calendar work in QQ.
I agree it does look good, but would like more widgets for it as well. Also pin codes don't work as you have to unlock the screen twice.
Yes it's blazing fast but many widget didn't work properly. Also if you use the custom lock you can't insert your pin as electric said. I will follow the development anyway, it looks very promising!
I'm using GO Launcher now but sometimes it slows down I think I will give ADW Launcher a try...
Yeah, it may improve and fix the bug with inserting a pin etc and more widgets etc, it has potential.

Tried ADWLauncher EX for two days. It does not offer so much more functions compared to the default launcher. Also, the default launcher has a easier and more intuitive UI and looks nice as well.
Worst part is that ADW EX lags as hell. Might be because the default launcher was still running with all wigets on it, but I was fed up with ADW anyway.
Launcher7 is till now the best replacement launcher for me, you should try it, even if you don't like WP7, change the tiles to transparent and choose a nice background and it wil look very different.
If I can share my experience I also tried GO Launcher EX and Launcher PRO in these days.
GO Launcher has a lot of way to customize your homescreen but feels a little choppy sometimes.
Now I'm running with Launcher PRO, it is very fast and has a good amount of customizations, but it's a little outdated (may 2011). I hope the developer will release a fresh version soon...

ADW was just a row of lags on my phone, and I only had 4 homescreens with approximately 5 widgets in total. The only replacement launcher that does not suck is Launcher7 imo, but it has a totally different lay-out than other launchers, which you got to love or hate. The default launcher is not bad at all.

Just tried SPB Shell 3D, it's very smooth with lots of 3D effects and all widgets for the stock launcher work perfect, except for Timescape obviously. There a texts widget that's like timescape, but smoother.
Only drawback is that it costs €10,45.

GO launcher has that function too... I tried ADW yesterday but got 3 force close in a day, not so stable on my phone... I'm back with GO atm, it's a little lagged sometimes but it's stable and has all the customization I love...

I want to know what the best launcher is in terms of uniqueness and not just speed. I want a launcher that is different from other launchers and has actually been well thought out. Thank you.
Personal favourite
I quite like Launcher Pro - lots of icon packs and easy to customise! Can be as simple or as complex as you want it to be. Only issue is that it hasn't been updated for a while
If you want custom themes without having to pay for Launcher Pro Plus, then try GoLauncher - not a personal favourite of mine but is again very customisable and does pack in a few unique features.
I used to use Zedge for pure speed, but it was a bit limited customisation-wise and I overclocked my phone, so I didn't need a really fast launcher any more
i tryed many launchers...but Launcher Pro is the best choice for me...so i stick with it a long time now
deff Launcher Pro You can do what ever you want
<Mod Edit> External link!
i like launcher pro & go launcher too
I use Launcher Pro too... even I uninstall/erase other launchers.

Yes. I had also tried it. not very good. Instead ended up using Go Launcher Ex with ICS theme.
I just got ADW Launcher EX the other day from the 10c app promotions per day google is doing and i'm loving it so far.. lots of new features compared to the free version
Might be a good idea for people to keep watch incase it goes up for 10c again.. few days left of apps
Try this 360 launcher. Link:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1345601 pretty smooth, not bad so far.
Sent from my GT-i5801 using XDA App
Yea 360 launcher is awesome. Just never have seen these app drawer animations in any other launcher. very nice and very smooth. And the themes are good looking too
Edit: I just noticed that there is a lockscreen setting in its preferences using which we can have a variety of lockscreens too. And there are lockscreens available for download within the app itself.
This is f**king awesome
Only 3 lockscreens are available. But all 3 are good especially The iPhone lock screen and ics lock screen are looking great
Nemus
I use Nemus Launcher. It's fast and does what I need
What is the best launcher for Galaxy y?
sTOCk launcher
adw w/ ics icons..
It's a matter of personal preference imo.
Mos popular launchers: GO Launcher EX, ADW, LP
All of those offer tons of customization. If you're after something light try Zeam, FTL or 360 Launcher. QQ Launcher is similar to 360, although 360 is lighter. They offer the same amount of customization.
Another launcher worth noting is Nemus Launcher. You can also try 3d launchers like SPB Shell, TSF Shell, or Regina 3d.

Stock Launcher/Holo launcher.
i,m using adw ex launcher with the minimalist theme its simple,very fast and beautifull.greeeeeetz
before i used ADW Ex with minimalist for 2 months, now im on ADW Ex + Suave HD
ADW Ex for me is simply the best, tested all launchers for SGY, be it stock, modified stock, touchwiz, sense, LP, zeam, phoenix, the one on WeUI (forgot the name), and many more,
my simplest answer- ADW Ex lets me do what i want for my screen, has all the options i need and many more, further exceeds my expectations,
you can use :
Stock rom = 1st for me is no.1
ADw Launcher = i dont like this launcher
GO Launcher = not bad launcher
Lighting Launcher = you can get it in market and try it !
.
ADW Ex!!
Used to use Go Launcher Ex! No doubt it's gr888!! Bt it has too much features, transitions nd animations make it heavy!
Now using ADW Launcher Ex.. it's much li8er! using it with Glow Legacy Pro theme!
I only wish TouchWiz Launcher let us modify it more.. then I never would hv tried another one! As I don't like similar apps installed in my device!
Im using a modified stock launcher works great. Simple and Transparent just the way I like it. And I like to keep it as close to stock as much as I can.
Try LauncherPro Sense UI
Looks great along with Fancy Widgets and Nexus Revamped Live Wallpaper
mobint's holo launcher is nice n light. xperia launcher with corner shortcut is also light and a little bit fancy with xperia style.

How do you make it transparent?
There was a guide on that. I installed a hybrid/repencis theme that supports transparency then i flashed the stock launcher with landscape orientation. Theres a thread for that too

What are you looking for in a launcher?
My favorites are TSF shell and Next, of course their $17 each though.
I've always used Apex and love it. Fast quick and reliable, lots of customization but nothing truly fancy or out of the ordinary like some launchers

My two faves are Next3D and Nova. I bought Next3D when they had a 50% off sale about 8 months ago, but I've been using Nova more and more because...it just works great. No redraws, small memory foot print. I made the mistake and bought SPB Shell 3D back in June '12, and it's pretty much abandonware ($15 bucks). Yes, I could get the Yandex Shell for free which is a direct clone of it, but it has too many limitation, it's a memory and battery hog and redraws way too often.

Something different! Tsf shell is ehhhhh. Lol.
Haven't tried next. I can assume its bloated? (Go Dev team)
Buzz has diff wallpapers for each page. That's cool I guess.
I use Apex. Smart Launcher is very nice and minimalistic.

well tsf shell is what I would consider the most "different" but definitely not everyone's cup of tea.
since its expensive, next is not bloated like GO thank god (HATE go lol) but it does take some tweaking to make it look nice (I like a clean holo-ish theme), fortunately because it is from the go dev team, it has a lot of theming support.
I would describe it as having all the customibility features apex or nova have but with the coolest animations and widgets I've personally seen.
best thing I can tell you is to go on YouTube and look at launcher reviews before you go spending money on anything.

I like Action Launcher, has some handy features. However on CM 10.1, for some reason the spacing is all messed up for me, so I've just been using Trebuchet for now. I like Nova too.

Really in the end, the launcher that makes you enjoy your android experience the best IS the best. The rest is all opinions.

I have tried a bunch too...even some of the new school ones like Buzz and everything Me...always come back to holo HD. 10x10 grid...hiding apps from the drawer, tabs and great gestures. Maybe one freeze every 2 months. Very solid.
