ICS 4.0.x - General Questions and Answers

Does anybody know a 4.0.x launcher for ics that will allow me to hide apps?
Or has any hide app been successfully tested with ics?
Hide it Pro didn't work

Apex launcher hides apps in the app drawer.

Laucher pro ex does have the option to hide aplication

Nova launcher can hide apps

Adw fc alot

I have been getting at least 7 to 10 fc's from adw for the past few weeks. Is there a more stable launcher with the same features or is it a specific setting that is known to cause issues.

Here you go mate!
http://www.launcherpro.com/2011/01/20/launcherpro-v0-8-3-released/#more-298
Just press the Download APK link , send apk file to your SD card and install.
The thing that you can't see the Launcher Pro application on market (Though it's for free) means that propably you just bought your XPERIA that means you're running Android 1.6.
Try to upgrade to 2.1 via SEUS first!
Hit the thanks button if I helped!
Regards,
mr_element.
Launcher pro force closed way more than adw ex. For me anyway.
Yeah I'm still on 1.6, I was looking for a good complete backup app before I dove into 2.1. Btw I didn't see a thanks button, but you did help.

Or just install ADW and delete the launcher from system/app. Much easier.

Nova launcher is the best. Look for it in the galaxy nexus app section and flash via cwm. That's what I'm using and its great!

Wow, what a smooth launcher! Excuse my ignorance but where is this from? It's really good except you can't re-size widgets and change dock icons.

I pulled it from an Oxygen ROM port for the N1. And you can change shortcuts on the dock. Just hold the icon. There are also more settings when you hit Menu then Launcher Prefs.

What I meant was the ability to use a custom icon for apps in dock.
Ahh, that. I prefer the stock Gingerbread look, cause it's sexy and fast.

Your favorite launcher for the HTC One S

Hey guys, I just ordered the HTC One S and I was wondering what's the best or just your favorite launcher for the device, maybe you could even post some pictures of the launcher.
Apex Launcher, followed by Nova Launcher. Basically, the stock launchers from ICS.
Anything I can do to get this device closer to stock AOSP is good for me.
Apex Launcher as well!

Depends what you exactly want.
Apex and Holo Launcher (s) both are smooth, fast and feature rich.
I like the stock CM9 launcher Trebuchet. It's simple and perfect for me

just fast and efficient
Try Lightning Launcher - Free and fast.
