I'm playing around with a new UI, but I'd rather have 6 rows and no dock, rather than 5 with the dock. Any ideas?
I'd second that

Why don't you use ADW launcher, you can add extra columns and rows. I disabled all labels and have loads of icons on each desktop.
That sounds like a good idea to me.

Cause then there is the dock at the bottom, messes with the theme

I'm looking for a widget that will let me put multiple icons on it and scroll through them. Pretty much exactly like the ADW launcher dockbar but full-size icons and can be placed anywhere.

Launch-x pro or free. the pro is $.99 and has more options. check out the free one first
Are there any ADW themes that stretch the width of the tab?
All of mine ive found leave a half inch-ish on either side. Is it a limitation on ADW at this point

Appreciate the response. However, I am not refering the ADW Launcher app in general, but specifically the dock bar at the bottom of the ADW Launcher home screen.
None of the dock bars in any of the ADW themes stretch the width of the Galaxy Tab's screen.
Are you talking about the scrollable dockbar revealed when you hide the launcher buttons, or the AB launcher buttons? On the themes I use the "hidden" dockbar stretches, but the AB launcher buttons leave space to the left and right for me. On the themes I use, there's usually a few pixels space on either side on my droid, but maybe around 1/2 the width of an icon on either side on my tab. Your best bet is probably to check with the dev or with the issues on his github site.
I've been wondering how many of their homescreens do people actually use?
I use LauncherPro on my T-Mobile G2x, and I've only ever felt comfortable with just one homescreen. I find the app drawer to be much easier than swiping screens.
I have over 100 apps so I use all 7 screens.

I use all of mine, 2 for news, 1 home, 1 twitter and fb, and one for a 4x4 calender widget
I only use one, and even then I dont use widgets or icons.
I use Launcher Pro and the 3 docks and that does the trick for me.
Love the clean look.
I use adw ex with my screens set to 4x4 and no dock. I kind of use an i phone look with every app displayed on my homescreens so right now im at 6 pages. But i use simplistic black icons and it all comes together great
I'm forced to use at least 6 homes in my sense rom because of widgets, but in aosp rom i used someone less (adw launcher ex FTW! )
3 screens for me.
More widgets
I need more widgets for my homescreens
One here.
I am boring and don't use much of my home screen.
A clock at the top row, and a couple of app icons I use a lot, arranged in an arc that I can reach with my thumb in normal position
I can do my daily tasks on this phone often without even moving my thumb to select, due to the position of the icons
I have 4 but only use 3.

One here using launcher pro with just a beautiful widgets clock and a dock with gmail phone texting and web.use the app drawer for the rest
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk
I use 3, I rather consolidate my apps within folders than spread them across multiple homescreens.
I use Launcher Pro and 5 screens. One for all my rooting/modding apps, one for games, one for frequent contacts, one for tool/productivity apps(no root), and the middle one blank except for the alarm clock app.
Also use all 3 docks.
Droid 2 Global
[ROM]Hexen 1.0.1 (Final)
I use animated Widgets to group similar programs together (all map,navigation; family;messaging) etc and I have it kept to 4 homescreens. I do use and rely on social,task and calendar widgets though.
Also running with Go Launcher Ex or whatever and have frozen/blocked most of the blur/motorola bloatware.

3 screens seems to be the sweetspot.
i like to use that as well.
left for music widget center for weather/calendar widgets and right for appfolders
I use 3-4 on my Dinc, but I like to go either 5x5 or 6x6 for rows and columns. Always beautiful widgets. Ever since cm7 was released, I only use adw launcher ex. For my Nook, I use only one homescreen, and no dock. Both are OCed CM7.

One home screen here. As someone else mentioned, I find the vertical scrolling app drawer easier to navigate than the horizontal navigation of home screens.
Hey all,
I have always been a fan of other home launchers like launcher pro and go launcher.
What i have noticed though is that they are not "tabled optimized".
With that i mean that you still have the dock like you have on your phone and the icons and widgets are much smaller.
Is there a way to get one of them working the same way as the default launcher?
I like the sizes and i don't need the dock, only thing i do want is the extra options which the alternative launchers provide and i do believe they are smoother than the default launcher.
Thanks!
Try ADWLauncher EX. It's tablet optimized, has a ton of options and the launcher bar can be hidden or not used if you want.

i often get that when i wake my TF that it laggs al little or needs to reload all the widgets and icons.
I want to see if this is due to the default launcher by using a different launcher.
But all the other launchers have smaller icons, have the dock, have other widget sizes, and the app list is ugly!
so far i tried LP, ADW, GO.
None have the same sizes as the default one, so i was wondering if this can be adjusted with some simple settings..
As far as I know you can't adgust the size of the icons on the dock. I also wanted to do this but was unable to. As for resizing all other icons, go into the ADWLauncher EX settings > Icons > New Icons Settings > Icon Size and you will be given a slider to adjust the icon sizes.
Most widgets can be resized using ADWLauncher EX. There are some that will not resize despite what you do.

Not the answer i was hoping for
so i guess i will have to wait until one of them makes a tablet version the wait i want it
or seem to find out why my launcher lags or needs to reload everything.
Maybe its prime.
I use desktop visualizer app to resize my icons. You can download PNG files from Google or Bing to create custom icons as well. Works well with adw ex. You can have your icon take up the whole screen if you really want to.

ADW EX has The ability to use larger icons. Its in asd settings/ui/icons. Then just check the box for the density hack. Makes the icons the same size as the asus launcher. ADW is what I use and it is a huge improvement over the stock launcher IMHO. For those looking to hide the dock and expand the desktop area it does that to. You just need to select that in the main dock settings, then in the new hidden dock settings disable that to and presto no more dock.

I personally like the hidden dock. I just swipe down and it goes away, swipe down again and it comes right back. Kind of like touchwiz mini apps.

With Folder Organizer app, you won't ever need to go to app list. Just add the container labels to the Home screen or notification area. App Organizer is an alternative from the same developer.

i tried it out its not that great. It lags realy badly and also costs 15$
Having purchased SPB shell 3d for my phone, I've tried it on my Asus as well. Performance is OK but I don't like that you can see parts of the adjacent screens. Not running it right now on either phone or tablet.
After it's last update, I think ADW blows everything else out of the water. It's really nice.

I don't have any lag issues with ADW EX on my Transformer. It makes it as smooth as (if not smoother) than iOS... I recently showed and iPad 2 owner my Transformer and he absolutley loved it - couldn't believe how smooth everything was...

Is there a way to reduce the icon/widget spacing to get more in on each page?

If you use a different launcher, such as LauncherPro or ADWLauncher, then you can change the numbers of rows/columns on the homescreen to fit more icons on.
I use LauncherPro and have 6 rows on my home screens.
Launcher pro plus ftw

or you can try Elixir Widget, it can put 7 x 7 icons in 4 x 4 widget space.
