Most likely some widget. Try removing widgets one by one till you see a difference

Apex runs very smooth for me. Other than apex I tried sslauncher which seems nice and also TFS (expensive though).

In apex settings, go to advanced settings and check "Keep in memory".
this will reduce redraws

I tried holo luncher and feels very laggy. Like going in and out of the App drawer for example.
Apex is perfectly smooth.

I'm very new to using my new tab. Just wondering what launcher are all of you are using and which you think is best. I'm still on original launcher but I find it slow and sometimes unresponsive. I tried out adw ex but the icons are very small. Any suggestions of good launchers for tablet?

ADW is fully customisable.
You can edit the icon size as well as text site in it's settings. ADW Ex is the best in my opinion!

Go launcher any good for tablets?
Sent from my GT-P6200 using Tapatalk
Besides Touchwiz, ADW launcher EX has HD icons for tablets... i have tryed Go Launcher, Launcher pro and both are good but more geared for phones...
However ADW EX needs to be set at a different DPI (133 and below) to get the HD icons (tablet mode) on the SG7+
I might be wrong but i have yet to find a way to make ADW EX apear in tablet mode in the standard 160dpi.
Any of the above (ADW, GO Launcher and launcher pro) are Faster than touchwiz in my experience... however touchwiz is more elegant and better suited for tablets, except that its jerky and less configurable.
Im currently using ADW with dpi at 133.. looks great IMHO
I've reinstalled adw but ibcant find where to change dpi like you said, where can i find this option?
Sent from my GT-P6200 using Tapatalk
Is it even possible to change the DPI for just ADW Launcher EX all on it's own? Or do you have to set the DPI for the entire tablet. If one could trick ADW into thinking the dpi was 133 and leave everything else alone that would fantastic and would minimize headaches.
(Sorry if I'm kinda stepping into this thread but I'm curious)

You can chamge icon size in adw ex settings but dpi is a setting you can change for the entire rom if you are rooted. See my tweaks thread in general.

i tried most of the famous launchers. but just keep coming back to STOCK Touchwiz launcher. it just feels right for a tablet.
I use Go Launcher Ex because It's the only launcher that allows App Folder INSIDE the app list. All others can only be done in Home Screen.
For HD icons, just search for HD Theme. I use Suave theme.

I used Blade Buddy to set dpi
This made a whole lot of stuff start force closing.
I wouldn't really suggest it unless you have an abiding hatred for the Honeycomb taskbar.
If you do then I would be happy to explain how to get around the force closes (mostly).
Edit: dpi was set at 171. 160 will give you the Honeycomb again. Sorry about that.
I use LCD density modder pro, so far it works alright for me.

If you love the ICS look I suggest you the Apex launcher or Nova launcher. I prefere Apex but I think you should test the launcher. They are all free.
Nove Launcher is the best

I have to agree. I prefer using Apex over Nova with my LG Nitro, probably until Trebuchet comes out with new updates.
Both Apex and Nova are great launchers anyways.
I As the guys above said, try out apex and nova. Apex does have more features but I decided to stick with nova, got quite a few fcs with apex. PS I agree with avoiding go launcher, would definitely ruin all that ics goodness

In my opinion you should try Apex because it is very fluid and customizable, and above all free ... Excuse my writing in English, but I'm not very conversant with the language ...

Nova.
I tried Apex but found it a little laggy and slow. Ended up removing it and sticking with Nova. I paid for Nova as well so Apex would have had to have been something amazing to make me switch anyway - and it wasn't. It was Nova with one or two extra options which I can live without anyway.

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?

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.

I personally LOVE Trebuchet Launcher, but it is a part of CyanogenMod. I have not found any others that I really like, so I am using CM10, because it is the BEST hands down.
Now, you MIGHT be able to find the apk and put it on the stock ICS, but that might defeat the whole purpose of Trebuchet, but just to get back on the subject at hand, and that is that apex launcher is EXACTLY like Trebuchet, and it is not too bad, and worth a look.
Oh and here is flashable zip for Trebuchet, not sure how well it will work on this phone without CM on it, but it might also be worth a look.

performance wise, Nova launcher is the best by far.. though i have used Apex a lot.. the transitions in Nova launcher seem much faster.. the full version lets you make folders in app drawer and use gestures too
Personally, I like Go Launcher. It has a screenshot option which is kind of handy since the one in CM10 doesn't crop them properly at the moment.
Go keeps me going! Best to suit ma requirements!
I've tried adw, nova and apex. Apex in my opinion is the smoothest. Nova would lag at times. I bought Apex pro yesterday and it has a lot of extra features. Basically it will come down to what you like but i would recommend Apex.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda premium
Apex or ADW for sure. Nova always had 'twitches' here n there while scrolling. ADW is the most customizable launcher I've ever used n just as smooth as apex. Mind you, gotta be on ICS and up for Apex and Nova. ADW works on all, but to use all features it has, you'll have to be on JB.
