This thing is nice and smooth. Best launcher I have used so far. Looks to be built off go launcher with a tw4 feel and style. No I'm not a Dev of this. Just found it thanks to appbrain. Here's the market link.

It's decent, needs more options. Definitely isn't up to ADW EXs standards for sure.
Very nice. It has a couple of quirks, but I think I'll be giving up Zeam and moving to QQ. Thanks for the heads up.
Ok. So after a day of playing. Here's what I have found.
Pros
Speedy
no homescreen redraw
Fast app draw
Folders in drawer and desktop
Smooth transitions
Just like go launcher.
Cons
App draw looses my apps.....often. this requires me to clear the default and switch back to NY default launcher 2.
While that is the only con I have..... it was enough to make me leave it till is gets fixed.

Go launcher is way smoother, faster, and more helpful. I didn't like alternate launchers until I tried Go launcher.
Installed this tonight, had problems with widgets showing. Apps are missing (Facebook doesn't show up in the app drawer, in the applications list nor as a widget.)
Would love to see some more options and customization in the future. But I love the look and the speed of it right now.
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.

Where did you get this info? Their homepage and FAQ clearly states it's not compatible with tablets.
Because its still in beta mode

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...

Does anybody have a clue how to do it.

If you are talking about the default TouchWiz homescreen you can pinch (zoom out) on one of the homescreens. This will show all your homescreens like tiles. You can do the same thing with Menu > Edit. Then you can rearrange them by holding and dragging them where you want. The first homescreen (top left) is the default.
If you mean in the browser (assuming default browser) Menu > Settings > Set home page
Yes, I'm aware of that.
What I meant was making screen no. 4 as my default homescreen.
In that case I will always start in the middle of the background.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
screen 4 is not too different from screen 1. If you swipe left form screen 1, you arrive at screen 7. Only the wallpaper moves in a strange way.
doesnt solve his issue of wanting to be in the middle of a background though
3rd party launchers can do that, i suppose. Go Launcher EX has that option

yes it has - also launcher pro
This means wallpapers and especially live wallpapers are off center and it's annoying. Some launchers allow you to set the Page you want as home. But is there a way to do it in touchwiz?
Is there an app that changes the effects when entering the home screen? I installed the app called 'go launcher' ( something like that) and it changed the whole UI. Is there an app that only changes the transition when entering the main menu without changing any of the UI?
Bump
Rom Toolbox. There's an option in there by psyntyst in the Theme Manager bit.

Go Launcher
Go Launcher EX is the best with effects in my opinion, just go to the Effects section in it's settings, and you can specify the different transition effects.
U can use this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/...DEsImNvbS5qcnVtbXkuYW5pbWF0aW9uLmNoYW5nZXIiXQ.. but its paid
Hi I just picked up a new CX-803 II and found that anytime I install a new launcher or video player act. I do not get the option to change the default app even if I try to force the change in apex launcher ect. The option won't pop up and it drops back to the home screen to further annoy the launcher resets the wallpaper to the one included in its themes anytime the stick is restarted. Can this be changed/fixed?.

For changing the launcher try "home switcher" app.

Unortunately I already have done, it seems that this stick has disabled the ability to switch "intent" apps, like video/music players, launchers ect. i'm not sure if there is a way to re-enable it. I picked this device because it has 2GB of onboard ram on it and and external antenna, but not being able to switch launchers or even have it use my own wallpapers is a real drag. almost wondering that if there's no way to fix it if swapping out the launchers apk with a different one would work or if it would just brick it.
it's funny that this thing comes rooted out of the box but doesn't allow changing of default apps.
Well with some experimenting I was able to change the launcher by placing a copy of trebuchet in system/apps rebooting using launcher changer to set trebuchet as default and then renaming the default launchers extension to .bak. This doesn't address the bigger problem of not being able to change the default intent apps though.
But it is nice to have my aquarium live wallpaper as the background on my TV now
