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!

I use Nova but I'm curious as to why so many others use Apex. What made them choose that over Nova?
I actually still use ADW EX, tried apex today and still want to use ADW
Adw ex is the best!

because nova is pretty slow compared to apex . atleast i've found it to be way slower, others might have had another experience .

I tried ADW EX, but the home screen had the stupid 3 dot menu button. Switched to Apex and much happier.

I use go launcher...its a matter of taste. Go just happens to have an appdrawer design I like and atheme I enjoy. Just download a few and see what works.

I downloaded 4 different launcher apps, and used the Home Screen Switcher to test them out.
Its quick and convenient, and you'll never be bored of the look on the device.
Launcher pro for me, the Widgets are nice and the swipe feature to see miss calleds or SMS is the best, I had it over a year now, I use adw but didn't like it as much

Does both of them consume alot of battery compared to stock launcher ... ?
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA Premium App
There should be no diffwerence in battery consumption. I really like LP but ADW is also very good and like stated above it is really a personal preference I have the paid versions of both
ADW does do quite a bit of theming if that is your thing start there first

Battery life is the same for me as long as you no start using extra widgets because launcher pro plus had more then you ash should be fine

I bought the LP+, and definitely didn't look back. One gripe is that there aren't much font back on the market ...

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?

Nova launcher gives you these options and then some. You can put widgets, folders, I'm the app try. The app try is also scrollable (left to right)

What's your favorite launcher? I'm trying to figure out witch one I like most. Some are to much some are not enough. I'm liking apex at the moment. I've tried go, nova, adw. What's your input?

I used to use Go all the time, but switched to Nova fairly recently, and am very happy with it. The only thing I miss from Go is the "recent apps" window in the app drawer, but the built-in recent apps menu is pretty close in functionality.
I've tried about all of them and keep coming back to Apex. The free version allows you to use some gestures that Nova charges for. I didn't like the recent update because it was giving me problems dropping apps in folders so I am using an older version.
I used to use Go but switched to Nova after I tried all of them, became a favorite of mine.

I use Nova Launcher, so fast its really good ( and using CleanROM 4.5) so its really good with performance and stability.
Using nova here as it was on sale for only 25 cents a month or so ago... Hard to pass that up. Before that was just using touchwiz and on my DROID eris back in the day I used adw and maybe go launcher.

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
what launcher uses minimum ram, is simple and fast?
i do not need something fancy.
just fast and efficient
Try Lightning Launcher - Free and fast.
