same question here
adw is almost unusable

I found the same thing pretty much, that's why I've kept with TW for now, and to be honest, this is the only device I can actually cope with Touch Wiz on lol.

Yeah, LP has been the best performing launcher on all my devices to date and i too bump all the speeds to ten but i get lag, ill just twiddle thunbs till ICS

Exactly the same here, Launcher Pro is no match for the stock TW....

The same here GoLauncher EX was too laggy...TW seems to run smoother than others---

I use Go Launcher EX and don't find it lags at all. I did use Titanium backup to stop TouchWiz launcher and its widgets from running.
Also you can download Spare Parts Pro for free and set Windows and Transition Animations to fast, this will speed up all the animations on the phone.

Hey I'm also using GoLauncher and at first there was a little lag but I solved it in this way:
Goto Preferences, Screen settings, Screen Transition Effects, Custom, and set Speed = 25 and Elastic = 55.
I've done that and its very usable, still stutters on drawing a GoWidget but I only have one so it's all good
I'd say increasing the speed would cause more stutter as its trying to redraw faster, so slower is the key.
I can't wait until they fully utilise the gpu as that seems to be causing the issue, either that or the fact that I haven't fully disabled TouchWiz..

hmm, my note should arrive either later this week or early next week. i might try out shell3d to see if it works well with the note.

Try zeam launcher and disable wallpaper scrolling in the settings. The smoothest launcher I was able to use on the note.

For me it lags irritating much when just having three screens with Accuweather, Samsung Digitalclock, Go Calendar and Go Message Widget and some app shortcuts, changed transitions to standard and behaviour to smooth but still way to laggy for me

Using the latest apk on my GNote. Not very smooth. ADW EX actually works much better in terms of smoothness and responsiveness.

Works fine here! No lags at all. But what is HD on this version? Everything is the same as it was.
I installed the .apk from the first post of this topic.

Actually, there is no lag. I had my Note set on a custom low power setting. Disabled that and now this launcher is running smooth as butter.

Lags just like 2.68 for me...
What kernel are you using?
I find it strange that touch wiz never lags but Go does...
Both seem to be hardware accelerated...
Optimisations i guess..

Bhai, This is GO LAUNCHER with Multi-Live wallpaper enabled
Not a big deal......

OMFG thats so cool! nice work mate!

This is a combination of an app called
Multi Live wallpaper
Go launcher Ex
Check the effects and combine the 2
ENJOY!

I am a fan of SPB Shell 3D, that makes it wow

Ok seems to be Go launcher with 'Cylinder' home screen effect, and Multi Picture Live Wallpaper (Free in Android Market) Combo, and Go SMS pro.

Yeah its Go Launcher and as I see with custom DPI set to 240 I think. I am using it that same exact way. Great feeling.

whats the best launcher for imilka's AOSP ICS Tablet UI

As title fellows, I love the tablet UI, it totally what meant to be our Note, but ICS in our Note is still under development, stock UI is kind of buggy.
So whats your choice of Launcher in the case?
I am using Nova at the moment, not perfect, but good enough.

Apex launcher is the best so far for ics rom, a lot option to customise and it's free..

Ditto on the Apex. Its the most full featured ICS only launcher, and its completely free! (None of that $4 garbage for two extra features)

I usually just let stuff like this go.... But did this joker actually just suggest Touch Wiz is the best launcher.... On AOSP??
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

i'm curious - how are apex or nova better than go or adw? they're ICS-specific, but what do they bring on the table than older ones don't?

apex... i tried all launchers.

Is there a TW launcher that works on imilka's AOSP rom? I wasn't a big fan of TW when I was on GB! but now that I don't have it, I kinda miss it! (weird, huh? lol)
Sent from my GT-N7000

TW launcher is only for Samsung based ROMS (TRR and MIDNOTE). It won't owrk with AOSP based ROMS (AOSP, AOKP, CNA).

Come on, TW has really nice and handy features you can't find in Apex, like slide right to call or left to send a message, and creating folders in the app drawer! I also miss double tapping home button to launch voice talk. I know these features are not TW launcher-related, but they're part of the TW package!

Used Nova for a while but APEX has surpassed it by a country mile. +1 for APEX

Apex doesent work on my galaxy note with tablet UI

I use nova luncher for a while, buyed nova prime and it runs like a charm, but it had some issues in the appdrawer with dpi under 280. When i grap an app for example youtube on the second page, it graps not the youtube app, it takes one from the first page.

Apex is simply better, smoother, etc than Nova.
At the moment Apex is the best Launcher for ICS on the Note as far as I can tell.

Hi Guys,
is there any way to have the dock with the tablet UI ?
I'm missing some features from the dock, e.g. the sms unread count ?
Thanks

+1 to that..i really AM missing the docs, although right now, the bottom part of my screen is dedicated to apps taht would normally be in the dock, which means each `screen' in a `page' of what would otherwise be the dock etc.

Dude if the original dev (which I'm not sure of) is not on our forum could you post it in the ROM/Dev section with all the details / Should I do it ?
I'll link this ROM along with GLX R ROM in the FAQs, so we'll have 4 ROMs which are currently working for our R and three in the making.
Thanks.

Sorry
Now it's ok

Is this actually a rom.. From what i can see on the original thread, it looks like a launcher only...

I wonder.. whats great in this launcher. I used this on the ZCLA1+ProjectS rom and i just thought the analog clock widget seemed nice.
Yes, its intuitive but not as snappy as LPP or say ADW.

The only part of lpp or adw that is snappy is application drawer. if you add some widgets, icons you'll notice lag during scrolling between screens.
With the exception of TW launcher , xperia home has imo the smoothest screen scroll. If it only was more customizable...like ADW it would be perfect.

Thanks a tonne for the 360 launcher.. reminds me of the great miui rom...
lots of goodies along with this launcher .. downloadable.. will take few days to try all out..

I really like xperia home - really smooth and elegant replacement....however 360 seems laggy and slightly too candy like. Not bad but not my cup of tea.

hmmm...I never saw smother performance than with 360. Don't know maybe some transitions effect seems worse, I use cube effect and it's smooth as SGS2.

Maybe I didn't write right...It's not laggy but transition-effects are slightly too slow

Hey nedooo.. 360 is quite a powerful launcher with a lot of dev support. And, so far its great..
1stly it has great set of themes (homescreen and lockscreen) reminiscent of miui.
2ndly some inuitive customizations on the launcher.. like screen lock and default apps settings.
There is a widget called 360 safe..?? its completely in chinese. is there an english version of the same? looks like it can do lot of things like miui backup.

It's in development, and I think dev is looking for someone to translate. So if someone is very good with English and have spare time should offer help
