Hi folks,
So what launchers are you all using on your devices?
Can't decide which to go for!
Go launcher ex is amazing!

GO Launcher
ADW launcher ex is extremely flexible and has a lot of options. Only downside is that since it uses all of the screen I either lock it to landscape or portrait.
Another vote for GO Launcher EX, been using since the original Tab. Not many complaints about it.
Go Launcher HD for Pad

GO Launcher HD or ADW Launcher EX.
Envoyé de ma Galaxy Tab
I like Go Launcher HD but the default Touchwiz widgets don't align like they do with the stock launcher which was a shame.

go launcher ex for my p6200 superb
best launcher
try Holo Launcher Beta (Real ICS Launcher)
better than ADW and GO
Doesn't really work on a tablet. So far haven't found anything i like other than the default.
Go Launcher HD for Pad...
Go Launcher HD For Pad
I didn't Find anything else
I liked both Go Launcher HD and ADW but I'm still using TouchWiz because ADW doesn't have an app drawer button on the top and Go because it seems that it can't handle with TW widgets, they got cut in landscape mode somehow.

What is the size of the grid of columns and rows that you would use or recommend on the ADWLauncher EX or Go Launcher HD? I've tried several but the TouchWiz widgets are always cut on landscape mode.
Definitely ADW. I use it on my phone and the tab and both are set up the same. It saves me a bunch of time looking for apps and widgets. Go launcher is good to but ADW is more versatile.

Go Launcher EX with 6x6 grid size is the great choice too
Sent from my GT-P6200 using XDA
The one problem I have with the go launcher is when you transition from horizontal to vertical the launcher moves to the next window. Is there a fix for this? It might be the grid size but I have to look at what go is set at.

Which program do you prefer? And what is a feature that you like about the 1 you chose? I have personally used Launcher Pro which came with Fresh ROM on my Evo but while I was browsing the market I noticed ADW Launcher and seen numerous themes.

ADW for me
I keep coming back to ADW. The single feature I love over Launcher Pro is the swipe action. Nudge up and Notification Bar hides or shows. Nudge down and the notification bar opens. In Launcher Pro you have to set up swipe areas in the dock, too specific for me.
Just my personal preference...
Put me in the launcher Pro group.
I like to run a clean screen and its scrolling dock combined with folder organizer allows me to access everything I want quickly without the screen clutter...
YMMV

I prefer ADW because of the horizontal page by page apps scrolling. If LP did this I would probably use it.
ADW - Swipe actions ftw
One more vote for LPP. Paid version is well worth it.
LP

Like the swype action of ADW. But I love the lp icons. Both are good

ADW lacks scrollable launcher bar.

launcher pro for me. somehow ADW app drawer seems to lag..
I started with ADW but moved to LP.
The smooth animations alone makes it a better choice for me.
I used too use ads but launcher pro is way better

Launcher Pro Plus. Between the Plus widgets and the Beautiful Widgets clock, I don't really miss anything from the Sense launcher.
I haven't really tried ADW, though.
I'm an ADW guy, the swipe actions are very handy. Also, the custom icon ability makes my home screen much cleaner.
Yeah, those are Launcher Pro icons, so I guess it's a bastardized ADW, oh well.
LauncherPro for me...I too love the scrollable dock. I don't like clutter
Noob question Im learning to use ADW coming off Launcher pro, how do you change the dock icons around or add new ones.
I started with LP then went to ADW when it was included in my ROM. Tried LP again because I love the scrollable dock but LP just seems to lag a bit on my phone. I don't know why
So anyways, ADW for me...........for now.
ADW for me. I like launcher pro but I've just grown accustomed to AdW more. Either way I don't think they're that much different to make a bad choice.
I am looking for a launcher with which I can see the scrollglow effect in the appdrawer...
I've tried a lot of launchers but the only working I found are adw ex and the gingerbreadlauncher..
Do you have any suggestions and which launcher are you using?
Or is it possible to mod Launcher pro or Go launcher ex?

I already used Galaxy S with 7 dock with stock laucher.

Interested in this mod
What I wanna see on Touchwiz MOD for Note are the ff:
1. 7 dock as what the OP said
2. Multi-density support
3. Able to customize icons
4. Able to customize Horizontal/Vertical grid numbers
Thats all...
I agree wholesale

If you're not really stuck on using TouchWiz then ADW launcher has 7 icon dock option (I use it).

ADW & Go launcher are very good launcher.
But I cannot use some of stock widgets with those launcher.
So I have to install additional widgets.
I would like to use Touch-Wiz.
Ok ICS stock launcher is better than HC...but i'm looking for some better.
Any suggest?
I used to have ADW Launcher. Today i discovered Apex Launcher, which is basically the stock launcher with added features. It's mega smooth and stable, and free
The thread is in the Galaxy Nexus forum.

ADW Launcher work fast on ICS?
You should try Nova Launcher i use it both on my Transformer and my I9100, i like it! ;-)

I just started using ADW Launcher EX, paid the $3.00 for it, and love it so far but haven't even begun to scratch the surface...
Apex Launcher. Best ICS launcher hands down.
Nova launcher has been pretty sweet so far, similar to stock which I like with added features. Silky smooth, not too many transitions though.

Nova launcher! Best out there

Nova Launcher is available in the Android Marketplace?
At present I'm using Nova on both the TF-101 and the SG2. Liking it (esp the ability to save the configuration).
I do have ADW EX (got it on the US$0.10 sale) but have never actually used it.
Have heard good things about Apex Launcher though.
And then there is always Go Launcher....
Oh, and yes, Nova is available in the Market.
Adw Launcher Ex
highest level of customization
Not ICS exclusive (not sure if it affects performance on ICS)
the only launcher I know that can handle HD live wallpapers without scrolling lag.
Doesn't show widgets in app drawer
Apex
ICS exclusive
decent amount of customization
can't customize folder icons
icon labels disappear if you set desktop grid rows to 8 or higher
Shows downloaded apps and widgets in app drawer if rooted and the launcher is installed as a system app
Nova
ICS exclusive
less customization options than the other 2
can customize folder icons
icon labels disappear if you set desktop grid rows to 8 or higher
background for app drawer is black. Can't make it show the wallpaper
most simple and easiest to set up out of the 3
Shows widgets in app drawer if rooted. Doesn't require installation as a system app
I used ADW on honeycomb. Now I am using Nova. It would be perfect for me if I could remove the black background in app drawer. I tried apex and it felt too much like a beta, which it is. I will most likely switch to apex when it matures.
best for ICS are Trebuchet, Nova, or Apex

ADW looks slow.
Tonight i'll try Nova vs. Apex
Using ADW EX right now. I like to keep my home screen to a minimum and since titles me maximize the screen I can put the widgets and app shortcut I need all in one screen. Also it lets me change the drawer background with I set to about 60% transparent.
On my nexus I use Nova.
Sent from my Transformer TF101
Noticed a problem with Nova. When you shift the tablet to portrait the screen real estate is not so great and you lose a lot of space at the bottom and top.
I know you can change the row amount, but anything over 8 and when in landscape you don't get the app name showing up or the widget is slightly cut off.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk
Nova for me!
using it for a while now and it's smooth as butter, but i read good things about apax too, you should try them both and decide what works for you
I use apex, it's the best.

When i originally tried Apex i didn't like it. I gave it another go but this time pushed out to system/app instead of just installing as a regular app. Seems to work much better for me that way.
In apex I change the change screen method to cube. This is very smooth in portrait.

After witnessing the beauty of the stock Jelly Bean launcher on a relative's Nexus 7, I am desperate to get this on my Samsung Galaxy Note (as I personally do not see £200 GBP as a worthy investment for a mere 1.7" extra screen real-estate). Consequently, I am looking for a near-stock Jelly Bean launcher with capabilities to resize widgets to accommodate the extra space on this device's screen. I'd also prefer for the S-Memo widgets, such as the quick access bar, to actually work (Apex cuts off the edge of this widget). Nova is pretty good, but it doesn't seem all that smooth at time. So, anyone know of a launcher which fits this criteria but is also relatively smooth?
EDIT: Apex and Nova are okay, but I do not want to have to pay for unread notifications!
Any ideas?

Try Adw ex launcher. Runs really smooth as long as you use the default theme
Edit: sorry forgot you wanted a free launcher . But it's well worth buying

You can't go wrong with Holo Launcher, quick and highly customisable plus the Holo Lock Screen is the new Jellybean one.

Nova Launcher, all Widgets are resizable, great dev. Holo is a good one as well but I still prefer Nova.. good luck.

1. Nova Launcher.
2. Apex Launcher or Atom Launcher
All mentioned launchers don´t support S-Memo widget, that OP wants to use.
Besides TW i don´t know any launcher that supports it.
sorry Brad, you cant have everything atm. if u want to use S-widgets, then its TW for you, if u want to resize, then its something else like Atom etc etc

Installed Holo Launcher as I really like this setup - but, I cannot add weather / clock widgets..
No more room on home screen?
What Grid settings are people using for this??
Weather works now but no clock!

I use Nova launcher now, as it allows me to adjust the widget sizes so that I can make all my widgets fit the extra width of the Note (I am OCD like that).

Same does Apex.
Apex gets my vote as the smoothest. Nova is good just not as good. Others are interesting like SS launcher and TSF but I am too lazy to learn those.
