Yes Go launcher ex
Sweet! Thanks!
By the way, is it the only launcher with folder feature? I don't like the tabs in the app drawer and I can't find a way to hide them.
If I'm right the ported Arc launcher has a folder option too.
Link.
Also ADW launcher (and adw launcher ex) have "categories" which equates to the same functionality. Arc launcher is also definitely worth checking out also, it's only a shame the launcher bar doesn't look as slick as the app drawer.
Go Launcher has folders, just drag and drop icons on top of eachother and a nice glass looking folder forms
You can try MX Home T as well if you're looking for something different.
I bet it has been requested a zillion times before, but I cannot find it. I love the ADW Launcher EX home replacement app, but I don't fancy the app drawer. Can I replace the different drawers with the one found in stock Gingerbread?
I've tried out the "4D drawer" in ADW EX, but it isn't as smooth as stock.
I would like this too

Just wondering, have you tried the new vertical drawer? Most responsive/smoothest scrolling app drawer I've used. I don't know of a way to only use the app drawer of a launcher other than a 3rd party app replacement like alt drawer in this forum, or shortcut linking to a drawer like the blur one.

Hmm, care to elaborate (bold)? I've tried all there is Even in Go Launcher and LauncherPro, but none come close to the smoothness of stock GB
Well, from your other posts it sounds like you have a Nexus/Stock by default phone, so you wouldn't be able to do this. But on the newer versions of the Motorola skin, like the 2.3.3 Droid X update, the app drawer can be chosen as a shortcut with a custom launcher, like LauncherPro. So you can map the app drawer icon in the dock to the app drawer itself: http://www.droid-life.com/2011/05/3...-new-blur-app-drawer-together-on-your-droidx/
Is it possible to change app icons? I'm using Launcher Pro/TW Launcher and the Sony Ericsson skinned apps (Phone/Messaging/Email) don't match at all.

the homescreen icons can be changed easly using Desktop Visualiser, if you want to change the app draw icons, use GO Launcher is has soooooo many themes out now

I tried it but it doesn't change the actual app icon.
Go Launcher is SOOOOOO laggy. I tried to like it,deleted it and tried it again after a few weeks. Still laggy. Laggier than ADW.
So far LauncherPro and TWLauncher are the snappiest launchers.
Hey all,
I have always been a fan of other home launchers like launcher pro and go launcher.
What i have noticed though is that they are not "tabled optimized".
With that i mean that you still have the dock like you have on your phone and the icons and widgets are much smaller.
Is there a way to get one of them working the same way as the default launcher?
I like the sizes and i don't need the dock, only thing i do want is the extra options which the alternative launchers provide and i do believe they are smoother than the default launcher.
Thanks!
Try ADWLauncher EX. It's tablet optimized, has a ton of options and the launcher bar can be hidden or not used if you want.

i often get that when i wake my TF that it laggs al little or needs to reload all the widgets and icons.
I want to see if this is due to the default launcher by using a different launcher.
But all the other launchers have smaller icons, have the dock, have other widget sizes, and the app list is ugly!
so far i tried LP, ADW, GO.
None have the same sizes as the default one, so i was wondering if this can be adjusted with some simple settings..
As far as I know you can't adgust the size of the icons on the dock. I also wanted to do this but was unable to. As for resizing all other icons, go into the ADWLauncher EX settings > Icons > New Icons Settings > Icon Size and you will be given a slider to adjust the icon sizes.
Most widgets can be resized using ADWLauncher EX. There are some that will not resize despite what you do.

Not the answer i was hoping for
so i guess i will have to wait until one of them makes a tablet version the wait i want it
or seem to find out why my launcher lags or needs to reload everything.
Maybe its prime.
I use desktop visualizer app to resize my icons. You can download PNG files from Google or Bing to create custom icons as well. Works well with adw ex. You can have your icon take up the whole screen if you really want to.

ADW EX has The ability to use larger icons. Its in asd settings/ui/icons. Then just check the box for the density hack. Makes the icons the same size as the asus launcher. ADW is what I use and it is a huge improvement over the stock launcher IMHO. For those looking to hide the dock and expand the desktop area it does that to. You just need to select that in the main dock settings, then in the new hidden dock settings disable that to and presto no more dock.

I personally like the hidden dock. I just swipe down and it goes away, swipe down again and it comes right back. Kind of like touchwiz mini apps.

With Folder Organizer app, you won't ever need to go to app list. Just add the container labels to the Home screen or notification area. App Organizer is an alternative from the same developer.

Where did you get this info? Their homepage and FAQ clearly states it's not compatible with tablets.
Because its still in beta mode

i tried it out its not that great. It lags realy badly and also costs 15$
Having purchased SPB shell 3d for my phone, I've tried it on my Asus as well. Performance is OK but I don't like that you can see parts of the adjacent screens. Not running it right now on either phone or tablet.
After it's last update, I think ADW blows everything else out of the water. It's really nice.

Don't scrolling widgets lag A LOT on ADW? Stock Launcher FTW

I don't have any lag issues with ADW EX on my Transformer. It makes it as smooth as (if not smoother) than iOS... I recently showed and iPad 2 owner my Transformer and he absolutley loved it - couldn't believe how smooth everything was...

Using a Xoom and I'm redoing my hubs layout and the only one that it works fully with and that I want to use is ADW. Now that being said I also like the stock app drawer. Now I guess my question is, is there anyway to use the stock app drawer with ADW even if it's only a shortcut.
You can make it look like it, but you wont have the tabs.

Haven't used ADW in absolutely ages (GO Launcher is by far the best IMO) but set the background to black and set the transition to 'stack' if it's available. GO Launcher has all of this and it has tabs which you can customise the look of. Just sayin'
Try Holo Luncher based on ADW sources
