I've installed it and it worked perfectly fine for the few days I used it. I still prefer Launcher Pro Plus myself.

Try Nova Launcher if you want the stock feel, with some extra features. It's in beta 5. You can install it to work as your stock launcher as well. I'm using it while I wait for CM9 to be finished and Trebuchet completed
thanks for your help everyone

Hi All, I'm currently running Wolf's Gingerbread rom and absolutely loving it. However I'm not too fond of the stock GB Launcher. My previous favorite was ADW Launcher EX, as it had lots of customizations available, however I've found that since updating to GB, a lot of the exclusive widgets don't show up in third-party launchers.
What is the best alternative to the stock GB launcher that will give me all the available widgets. I prefer the vertical scrolling app-drawer, as opposed to the 'page-style' in GB personally... Suggestions?
I really like SPB shell, It brings alot of widgets. Downfall is it is 15 dollars :\
Thanks, I'll look into that one. It looks like a nice 3D layout. As long as it's smooth, I'd be willing to give it a try.
(makes me wish the google return policy was 24hrs not 15 minutes )
Spb does not support some stock SE widgets like timescape etc. I don't think there are any 3rd party launchers that do, sorry...

I did find a 'free' version, but I didn't install it as the Permissions were extensive and it came from an unreliable source. I may get brave and try it out, but having the new SE weather widget and all the rest of the new ones at my disposal would be nice.
I just assume the 3rd-party launchers will get updated with access to the exclusive widgets, but I could be wrong.
I couldn't get SPB Shell to work on my phone. After patching it as indicated in the readme, it refused to open. I might need a different version...
I'm still on 2.1 - getting ready to use WB's rom. I'm currently using Go Launcher Pro. It's been fairly cool and has a lot of features and fairly configurable. I can get the default widgets to work with it as well. I have Timescape running on my main screen, and the power control widget on another.
I will try Go Launcher on 2.3.3 after I upgrade, and see if widgets stop working.
Keep us updated.
Personally, using 3rd Party Launchers on 2.1 (and 2.2 wolfbreak), I had no issues accessing all of the widgets, but for some reason on Gingerbread, only the stock launcher seems to have access to them all.
Is there still no way to 'unlock' all of the Widgets from the stock launcher to third parties?
I'm surprised no one else has wanted ALL of their widgets in other launchers like ADW or GoLauncher.
Since ADWLauncher Ex was on sale for $0.10, I gave it a wurl. It's a fine program but just doesn't fit right with me on the TF, I prefer the stock but it reminds me that the stock isn't optimus prime. On my phone, I principally use Zeam b/c that's what I'm happy with and it does what I want for my phones UX. But what is really oriented towards a tablet, let along a transformer? Everything just seems to be too phone oriented I guess and I think maybe I will play around with Terminal IDE and try making myself a launcher to play with. Maybe someday it will be a launcher that is made to fit me and my tablet like a glove (not necessary anyone else).
This got me to thinking, what do my fellow TF users find their launchers/home applications lacking?
I am always interested in learning about this sort of stuff, which is also why I tend to tune my machines to match what fits me, lol.

Actually ADW EX was great on the TF till the latest update or two. Supposedly there's gonna be a big update within a week or so.

I started using adw because it was bundled in cyanogenmod. I bought it for my tf and found out just like my phone that most of the special effect transitions had to be turned off for better performance. In fact it destroyed my krakd rom and I went to prime without the animations and I have been very happy with it. I don't need 8 frickin screens to swipe through, in fact one is perfect for me.
Fascinate CM7 Stable
+1 for ADW Ex - it's the best I've seen...
What don't you like about ADW Ex - I'm curious now....
ADW EX is nice. The last update killed the hidden dock bar which I loved. But the new revamped bar works well. I only use 2 screens.

You can still hide the dockbar if you want with the latest version (was fixed in the very last version, I believe). The only remaining issue for me is that I can only have 11 icons in the dock now in landscape mode - used to be able to fit many more. Also, it lets you have 13 icons in portrait, but only 11 in landscape?!?! I did report this issue. Haven't heard back though - I'm sure the dev is getting flooded with emails....
But, ADW EX is buttery smooth... Love all of the different effects and the ability to group my apps, etc....
I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure ADW EX is the only truly Tablet-capable 3rd-party launcher out there. Go Launcher works well, but it's still obviously designed for a phone.

GoLauncher has just released a beta for the 'pad' as they call it. Its a far cry from completely optimized, but stable and works well. You can get it from thier blog, or search the TF Apps and Themes forum. (so many rules, I just don't post links)

The only gain over the stock it really gives me is "Folders" and I don't like the home screen experience on the TF.

im still using stock because i love honeycomb. but then again it could just be that i just got the tablet over black friday weekend.
still messing around with it but i got the ADW ex when it was 10c too. i tried it but i usually run the stock launcher on my android phones and so i dont think ill use it. :]
I know CM9 is still in dev, as well as the theme engine, but I was wondering if there were any themes in development for it...I personally like the look, but since it's my wife's tab, she was looking to have more of a pink-colored theme.
None yet. Your assertion of the current situation is correct. Once it improves, we'll start seeing themes rolling in.
Peace,
C.
You can always install Go Launcher Ex, a free theme app on the market, there are loads of themes on that and afaik its completely compatible with CM9, I'm using it without any problems so far.
Just as a thought, I'm not sure if it is in fact compatible with the Galaxy Tab, its just a thought though!
Good luck
It works beautifully & my wife loves it! Thanks!
You mighy also want to try Go Launcher HD, runs perfect on CM9!
Well for me 260 is the most perfect launcher for me,light and easy to use

When I use Go Launcher Ex on the latest CM9 ROM(20120330), but the response of Go Launcher is a little bit slower the default launcher, even I need to push home key with few times to get response
Here is a stupid question, out of the blue. I have flashed between seven to ten different ICS roms since I rooted my Sensation 4g a few months ago, and I am currently running Virtuous Inquisition 4.02 which has Nova launcher, but I am still running GoLauncher as my default home. Should I feel guilty, because I kind of do, and I haven't even used Nova. Am I missing out on a better experience by using Go, or is it perfectly acceptable to use a different launcher. Sorry in advance for such a stoopid (spelled incorrectly on purpose) question. Thanks.
Um, why not try Nova and see how you like it? If you have ICS you should use an ICS launcher, although IMO Apex is better than Nova.

Thanks! I'll have to give both a test drive.
Hi,
I have an Epic 4G Touch and I have rooted it and I know there are a bunch of launchers out there. And if it wasn't for the fact that I am a "noob" I would ask this under the ROM I'm interested in...but seeing as I can't here I go...
I know there are many many many launchers and I was wondering which one is the best? And if TWLauncher is the same as the stock launcher that came with the phone before rooting it?
Thanks in advance

+1 :good:
I've been using Apex launcher since I started using ICS on my SGS and I also recommend it.
Use apex
Go launcher
I suggest either Apex or Nova launcher prime.
I bought Nova Launcher prime and was using that with my HTC amaze and One x until I switched to my galaxy s3 and started using wicked sensations ROM which employs Apex and I am happy with it.
I hated Go Launcher. It seemed like it had a ton of custom stuff like the go sms, go store, widgets, etc but it really just got in the way for me personally.

I am very happy with Nova Launcher prime. I like the customizable gestures it has, as well as the effects for screen transition. Another nice feature is the ability to put swipe gestures on dock bar apps. On my phone, if I tap the phone icon, it opens up the dialpad. If I swipe it, it brings up my frequent contacts. It's pretty awesome.
I use Nova Launcher Prime unless I am using a CyanogenMod ROM in which case I typically use Trebuchet. Nova is fast and feature rich and very easy to customize. The only downside to Nova is that you must be using Android 4.0 or better so no Gingerbread support.

Cyanogenmod does exist in two 4.0+ flavors though. There is CM9 which is Ice Cream Sandwich(ICS/4.0.x) based. There is also CM10 which is Jelly Bean(JB/4.1.x) based.
i used launcher 360, but some time later i use only apex launcher :good: very good launcher and configurable
