I tried a few so far adw and go, but I feel the apps and folders are too small for a tablet, and can't find a way to make them bigger without replacing all the icons manually. I would like the apps to look like on the shelf in the built in launcher. Any ideas?
Thanks
I've been using adw ex with much success. You can customize the Icon sizes do making then 120% seems to look pretty good.
I've been really happy with go launcher.

You can make the icons bigger with go also. Large setting works well.
i just wish zeam launcher worked with this as thats my fav!!!
I use the ics launcher. The new update is amazing!
totally loving adw launcher especially now that in 6.2.1 the wallpapers stays when you set it
ADW EX with HDPI density hack is the best "tablet" experience I've had on this device so far.

I use adw launcher EX and I love it. You can resize everything and to me it works perfectly fine for the Fire.

HDPI density hack?
SPB shell is brilliant, however I'm on CM7.
go launcher is always my only option
I have been using ADW EX which is the same launcher I use on all my phones that also rum CM7 and it seems to be doing fine with the KF. I even used the Ice Cream Sandwich theme on it and it looks great.
Check out the new 7" friendly version of Go, I absolutely love it and it's silky smooth on the fire.

I feel so boring, I like Zeam. Have tried others, all ways go back to Zeam. Have it on my phone and CM7 Kindle Fire. I had been using Syndicates Ice Cream Sandwich launcher on prior going over to CM7 and opening up more options.
I am using Go Launcher Ex beta. Extremely happy with it right now and my Kindle Fire Purchase.
I've tried Go Launcher and ICS and they both work fine, but then the Kindle bookshelf doesn't work, so the Kindle app is basically broken. Does anyone have a workaround for this?

I just put the kindle launcher icon on my home screen and use it whenever I want to open a book.
Hello,
Im using trebuchet right now, because I don't want to change my unstable cyanogen 9.
I replaced my stock adw from cm7 for go launcher ex, because it is less laggy and you can hide apps.
So my questions is what are you using and why are you using it?

Apex launcher of course! Its smooth and easy to use.
Stock LG Optimus launcher using stock Froyo.
Apex Launcher with a Blu Kuban twist. The only launcher and ROM worth running IMHO.
Nova Launcher. Very nice. I will probably get the paid version as soon as I have money to spare. End of the month here so I'm prioritizing food instead..
I like the app drawer and the fact that you can turn off all the animations etc. If it's something I hate it's 3d effects in the home screen and app drawer. Urgh.
It's the only one I've felt is actually better than HTC Sense 4.0 that is already on the device (One V). I would probably be more keen to switch the launcher if I had a Samsung phone.
With ICS I love using Apex. One of the most fluid launchers I've ever used, and it's pretty customizable.

Even with ICS my favourite launcher is still GO Launcher. In fact, I think the GO Dev team bring a large number of quality apps to Android, which is something a lot of Android apps unfortunately lack.
I keep switching between Apex & MiHome.

this
fantastic and smooth
many options
hiding apps, resizing widgets anything you would need
very stable however it can use quite a lot of memory (I have many widgets on multiple screens so thiis might be the reason)

I'm actualy with apex, but seems to lag sometimes
I am currently using TW Home and it feels kinda wonky, and with TW Launcher I can't switch the quickicons on the bottom so that's a negative. I have experienced Apex, and Go Launcher and do not like either of them. I am a firm believe that (most of the time) stock launchers are better. Has there been a port of the s3 launcher for our skyrockets? I tried Google and I could not find anything. I know that the regular s2 has a port of it, will it work with our s2?
Go, apex, and nova are the best launchers. Not sure what your problem is.

I Like Go Launcher and Nova. Go is a little on the heavy side, but has a ton of widget addons and they're all free.
I bought Nova Prime the other day. Takes a little while to get used to the setup process, but the app drawer is the best and most functional I've used to date. Nova is also pretty light on resources. Especially compared to Go and TW.
Only launcher I feel ripped off by is ADW. They used to update it almost weekly, but last I checked they haven't updated since december.

My sister is not a power user. So that is the problem, she has a whole bunch of options that she doesn't need or care about.

Well, i guess your either stuck with the wonky tw, or a well functioning launcher like apex, nova, or go that has too many options. Up to you, i like apex the best

I've used all of these, plus others. The free Nova is just faster and imho easier to customize. I use Faster Drawer (from play store) and replaced the stock app drawer shortcut with FD. It organizes apps far better than any launcher I've used. I don't want or need the added features of the paid Nova, though I may purchase to support the developer.

I want to know how to change launchers. When I installed the ROM I had an option between 2 launchers, chose to use one as default. Now I can't find how to change to the other. I am not 100% sure I want the other. But I'd like to give it a try again. Any ideas?

ok so i just switched back to android a few weeks ago i got tired of my iphone but anyways
before i would always use launcher pro plus i loved how you could resize widgets an stuff
i also used to use a few other apps to resize icons an stuff but it was so long ago i cant remember
just trying to see what launcher people are going with (besides htc sense)
ive got launcher pro plus installed now but i think its kinda out dated
when i need another launcher i use nova launcher
I'm usually on sense but like cheezy I like nova as an alternative and a nice stock feeling
alright nova seems like what everyone is going with ill give that a try thanks for the reply's
Nova is pretty slick and has active development. You can even get beta downloads through the app once you install a beta version from xda.
Adw ex.
I loved the trebuchet launcher that was available on bpear's older CNA builds I believe, and it was all I used until development was put on hold for a bit. Then when I switched to Nocturnal Dirty I stuck to using Holo Launcher HD.
I use Apex Pro, smooth and customisable.

I was a big sense fan and then I tried Apex a while back and enjoyed the smoother usage. I have been using Nova for a bit now, it's almost identical to Apex, I like the method Nova uses to sort widgets better than Apex. It groups things by program, and unless Apex changed something, it would just give you a list of every widget available

Still gives you a list in alphabetical order.
Actually using the TouchWiz launcher bundled with JellyBam. It's not nearly as customizable as Nova/Apex/Trebuchet, but it looks good and is very fluid. Quite enjoy the app drawer transition and pinch zoom.
I use Apex Launcher. I find it to be smoother and more responsive than Nova, at least on CM10. Great launcher. Highly recommended.

im using apex and i love it. whats everyone else using?
Apex here as well. Been jumping between Apex and Nova for a while now as I'm trying to decide on which paid version I should spend my money on. Currently can't seem to find much different in them, but somehow I like Apex a bit more...
Are there any other considerable choices than these two?

I am also using Nova
Stock CM10
Using nova on my TF, LauncherPRO on my Blade.
Nova worked good on the TF before, but the latest 3-4 updates have made it very unstable :/
Maybe works better on the HOS but... meh... stock cm10 works fine.
Try holo launcher hd, super smooth
Tried apex and holo now... Apex seems nice. Gonna use it a while and see if its stable enoguh for my needs
SPB Shell 3D, very very nice.
ADW is also good now that it's finally been upgraded.
