Yes, I'm using Go Launcher EX 5 and works fine. You can play with the settings and remove the dock bar, etc to make it more like a tablet than a phone. Go HD is not getting developer support anymore...

Thanks for the input. I purchased the Next 3d shell when it was on sale. I was thinking of putting that on but the new version of Go Launcher looks pretty good as well.

I use Next 3D...love it.
Honestly Go Launcher isn't that great when compared to TSF Shell
go launcher seemed really laggy for me when i tried it. hd was fine though.i usually stick to nova, but tsf is a nice change every so often. chameleon works well on the tab too
Go launcher stil use cpu not gpu for ui. That's mean will very lag on high resolution. Not recommend use for tablet. TFS shell or nextlauncher good for tablet
I use Go Launcher 5 too, but it's a real pain to add widgets/shortcuts to screens because it will only add in portrait mode. I'd switch, but I love the transparent notification bar option.
Anyone know of any other tablet-oriented launchers with a transparent bar option?

Attached are the images of my setup with Next 3D. The home screen, my book/media screen, the folder/drawer view of the media icon, and the app drawer from the all apps page. The status bar has option to be transparent or solid blank...there are a lot of bells and whistles to customize to your hearts content. You can apply other icon themes...Apex, Nova, Go...name it. Hope this helps.

I'm using Nova on phone and tablet and like it on both.
I'm using SPB SHELL 3D mainly because it has some pretty cool widgets
Nova
I am using Nova on both TFP and my galaxy nexus. It is really sweet.
Nova works great on tablets as well so you don't really have to wait for tablet support. You just have to make sure you set desktop grid to 7 rows by 8 columns which exactly what the stock launcher is set too.
Where are you guys getting Nova? I've never heard of it

I'd never heard of it either, but it looks decent.
I used to use Launcher pro on my TF101.. and was planning to on the prime, however i might give Nova a go.
Nova's great but unfortunately there's no dock for ICS on the Prime. ADW has a very nice customizable dock but scrollable widgets don't work, which is a deal breaker for me. So right now I'm using Nova in the hopes that one of them improves

SPB Shell 3D is pretty cool to start with, the widgets are just gravy. And it's a live app, development is ongoing. I submitted a question about their weather widget and they got back to me in under 24 hours.
It is a bit pricey at $15, but IMO it is totally worth it.

Interesting to see something like that. But doesn't go well with my minimalistic taste.
I just use the stock launcher of ICS with a couple of widgets and a couple of folders.

Nova's. Dock is only for phones. They said it in the thread here on xda.
Stock launcher is really good but I just got SPB Mobile Shell 3D. Man, that launcher blows everything else away. Plus its really smooth n fluid also. Customization is big in it. Seems like I can add unlimited homescreens. Then the 3D effects are top notch. Its just a mofo setting it up cuz I had so much set up on stock launcher. Really impressed w/it. Makes your tablet stand out from the crowd. You can even make it 3d if you have the glasses.
I use Go Launcher EX on my phone and my Prime.

I love Go Launcher EX but when I loaded it on my Prime, the dock wouldn't work and the app drawer kept freezing and I was constantly getting the application not responding.
Have you had any of those issues?
I use ADW on my Prime and Go on my phone.
I like GO now that they have made it Tablet friendly, albeit somewat cutesy, but haven't enabled it yet until I am comfortable with the Prime. Going to look into Nova.
Using stock and liking it just fine, thank you very much.
I've already tried adw ex, go HD, go ex, apex, nova prime, lightninglauncher, keys, spb, winphone7, Regina pro, tsf, sslauncher, zeam, nemus, fullscreen, launcherpro, and claystone.
I guess I'm OCD...

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 :/

Are there anymore left to try? Lol. I'd wait until that chameleon launcher comes out
Sent from my DROID2 using xda premium
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
Just curious if people prefer stock or a replacement launcher?

Nova.
I used ROM Cleaner to remove the sense launcher.
Ha I was also wondering this. Was just about to ask and saw this thread. I was wanting to make a sleek simple homescreen and someone said I couldn't change icons with stock launcher.
How easy is it to switch back and forth between launchers?
As easy as installing from the play store and running it.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
But would it keep all the settings. Like could you set up two different launchers and have them set the way you want. Then just feel like going to a different look one day just because you feel like it lol.
Yes. A launcher is just an app like any other app. Settings get saved.
Nova, have used it since I got my Galaxy S2. Love it easy backup/restore change icons individually, and more!
Just installed Nova Launcher and gotta say its pretty cool. Here's what I created. Just two questions. Can nova launcher make the status bar clear? And I used simple text to change icons on the dock but it has black background behind the words. Can I make that clear somehow.
I use apex launcher and as nova
It's amazing, I had no trouble changing plenty of phones while keeping my layout

Action Launcher - allows minimalist approach, very fast to select apps. And Blink Feed app from appstore switches back into sense launcher so I can go back and forth.
Apex
This may be the perfect place to post this:
Does anyone know of a launcher (or can creat one) that is JUST the Sense 5 app drawer?
i.e: unlock your phone, and hit the app drawer button: THAT is ALL I want to see.

I've always liked the stock launchers over Nova, Apex, etc. Although I did enjoy them on CM roms on the One X when I had it. Usually I'm not a fan of stock Android. I've always much preferred the manufacturer skins.
I love sense 5 too much to switch

Hello mates,
So just as the title states what is the best home launcher to you guys? Still tryna find the perfect setup. I've tried:
Nova
Espier Launcher
Vire Launcher
Launcher 7
Stock Touchwiz
Buzz
I cannot find one I like most.
Any ideas ?

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.

Haven't tried next. I can assume its bloated? (Go Dev team)
Buzz has diff wallpapers for each page. That's cool I guess.

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.

Nova on my Note 2, ADWLauncher EX on my 2nd Gen Nexus 7.
Wondering what Launcher is most used with the Note 4.
I've always used Nova primarily cause I like the icon gestures options and increased grid options . But new to the Note 4 and just wondering with the Spen and all most would stick with Touch Wiz.
I'm on Nova since this got the smart gestures and works simple the best for me not to much just enough of everything.
I installed nova as I'm used to it also. I don't think it takes away from any of the spen functionality switching to nova though. I may be wrong.
