Looking at the BND Site, I'm gonna bet that they're holding out to incorporate it/sell it to a manufacturer to release with there next phone. like touchwiz did.
Just found this launcher through app brain yesterday. It looks sweet with CM7. You guys should definitely check it out if you are looking for a new experience!

Looks and feels pretty slick. It couldn't locate my city for the time zone/wx tho :/ It will urk the ish out of me if it said New York up above the time all day. I don't like the swipe left/right action on the app drawer either. I'm sure they can/will give more options on an update. Overall seems like a great launcher tho Nice find and thanks for the heads up!!

I couldn't get the weather to work either. Although I found out how to find your region.
Go to : http://www.weather.com/
Type in the city and state which you reside in.
Next press find weather.
In the address bar you should see something like this
http://www.weather.com/weather/today/Los+Angeles+CA+USCA0638
The last part USCA0638 I believe is the region code.
Hope that helps!
Thank you I'll give it a shot!

GOOD ONE !!!!!
THANKS casual864 RIGHT ON THE MONEY BOSS !
This is very nice !!!!
Thanks for the find boss !
works on motorola xoom
It also works on xoom !
Still prefer the zippyness of adw-ex, but this definatly has some amazing eye candy...ill be keeping my eye on this one.
As with many third party launchers.. would be nice if it would accommodate adjusted dpi settings
Looks pretty cool otherwise
Very pretty!
this is a sweet launcher, kinda buggy/slow now. i noticed quite a bit of lag swiping to different screens, but this will only get better in time and as the dev's keep updating. I'm a sense guy, but i'm keeping my eye on this one.
Yeah, very pretty, and free is the best price anyone could ask for. The added widgets are a nice bonus!
But it's slow to swipe, which is really annoying, and running along side Widgetlocker, it's slow to reload the homescreens.
Also, buggy, I've lost half a page of widgets more than once, which is a little odd that it would keep some but remove others. still playing with it, more options would be nice, coming from LauncherPro with lots of customizable options to this is a little ...naked feeling, lol.
I think we have a winner. Its just like SPB Shell 3d but its free! Eyecandy for users who are design heavy like myself. Good job locating this OP! Imma have fun with this.
If only I knew how to modify framework ........ tisk ...

Your welcome guys! Just leave a feedback on the android market and email the dev. I'm sure they will incorporate new ideas and fix buggy issues.

Sure thing! I know its early in the game but I do have to admit it's buggy but that'll get ironed out. I can live with that becuz its so flashy! Imma stay with this bad boy as my daily launcher due to the fact that my fiance had to pick her face off of the ground! And she has never done that and she uses my phone regularly!

all phone now are try to put ICS on their mobile phone...but i want to know ICS is good or not on our mobile phone? ICS give better performance or not? better memory management? sorry for my bad english..
more features and new layout, runs smother, i might flash ics when the rom is avalibable on my phone but i personaly like cm7 2.3, the whole layout to me is great but ics looks very tempting!
I've tried it on my Motorola Atrix and it looks pretty cool. Widgets are available by picking them up from the app-drawer. You can resize widgets and apps to fit them to the screen.
But I read, that google collects to much stuff, such as credit-card numbers (you can skip this point, but some won't recognize it, see http://www.googlewatchblog.de/2011/11/android-ics-fragt-nach-google-account-kreditkarten-daten/ (sorry, it's in German)).
I've tried the KANG rom (CM9). Camera doesn't work yet, but it looks nice. But for me too less hardware for my Atrix is supportet (HDMI, webtop, fingerprint-scanner...).
But if it's running, I will switch from blured-roms to CM9 ICS
Yeah I'm really wondering about the face unlock and especially the resizable widgets. Does anyone know about how many could fit on screen when resized to the smallest setting? This has been one thing I thought they should have done a long time ago.
I can get the calendar widget down to 2x2.
I'm running sandvolds ics for desire and it is very smooth.
Resizeable widgets
Stacking icons into folders
Can remove apps from the app drawer
Voice commands work quite well, but there is room for improvement
Which do you prefer and why? Pros and cons please!
Rank from most liked to the least.
My favorite=MIUI
Pro: The beautiful UI and very easy, high customization of everything.
Con: Takes a little more battery life due to UI.
Second=AOSP
Pro: Always works flawlessly and doesn't feel bloated. Simple and clean.
Con: IMHO, none.
Third=Sense
Pro: Again, I'm a UI guy, and Sense is very nice in that aspect
Con: Unlike MIUI, even though it is heavily themed, it always feels slowed down on every device I have tried it on, not matter all the tweaking.
Feel free to put multiple pros and cons
Considering ive never owned an htc device im just gonne do touchwiz
Touch wiz pro: fast and has many cool features
con: Sort of ugly (in my opinion)
Miui
pro fast and simple
con: i want an app drawer ):
Aosp.. im assumin thats what cm7 is?
pro: fast very smooth
cons: to simple for me im a ui guy aswell

I'd definitely take sense and miui over aosp
I got a HTC Desire. Went like this:
Sense 1.9 > Sense 2.1 + 3.0 > AOSP (CyanogenMod) > MIUI.
And well, I'm still on MIUI.
I loved Sense 1.9. Sense 2.1 + 3.0 was also great.
AOSP felt really empty and lacking, especially coming from Sense.
MIUI felt iOS-ish in beginning, but customizing it changes that all. I love it and been using it quite a while now.
Love all the simple touches of MIUI.
- Hold Menu on lockscreen for torch.
- All settings toggleable from notification bar.
- Volume Down + Home takes a picture from screen. (So no software needed)
- Double tap on lockscreen for music widget to come up.
The only thing I don't like is that the default music app doesn't support playlists of any open format. So you just gotta shuffle everything you have or use a 3rd party music player. And the default widgets are lacking.
Tip: TypoClock looks great with MIUI.

Nothing more to add
I've got a Desire S and I think I've tried probably every available ROM out there.
My Ranking
1. Sense
2. MIUI
3. AOSP
I like the speed of the AOSP roms and the look of MIUI, but I really love the way Sense is working. First, the widgets. Second, and that's actually much more important, is the way it the different apps are interlocking (I hope that's the correct translation, sorry if not). I mean I can browse my contacts, see their Facebook albums, I can easily stream my media to my laptop and vice versa and so on. I love it
Not that much between the three as they're the best user interfaces imho.
Nr1 for me is AOSP (stock ICS).
Nr. 2 is MIUI v4 (Nr. 2.5 would be the older MIUI)
Nr. 3 for me is Sense, although it is a nice UI but just doesn't match the other two in terms of clean beauty
I wish I could take some of the themes from MIUI and put them into normal AOSP, like the messaging and music player.
As for Sense, favorite of the OEM skins lookswise but it's a memory hog.
1. AOSP- clean and quick. You can theme it however you want.
2. Sense- love HTC and Sense is beatiful
148. Miui- for the Iphone lover at heart
I haven't had the chance to try Miui yet, but so far I think I like AOSP ICS.
I was using Sense for quite some time, but as others have mentions it does have lag at times. Plus, I was using Sense since I got my phone so I was really sick of it.
There are things I do miss about it though.
Sense
OEM based custom
AOSP
My favourite is MIUI, with a few CM tweaks. That's best of both words.
(Called WIUI on Defy)
MIUI v4, but i'm slightly biased since I'm a mirror
If you don't like the lack of app drawer you can use a lancher pretty easy.
If you don't like the iphone-ness (agreed) you can use blackandroidtheme.blogspot.com/p/miui.html which also happens to be made by an miuiandroid dev.
NS with v4 and SG-NS-ICS_24012012 kernel with tweaks.
Sense - Pros: Everything works, HTC Apps & Widgets. Cons: Can't use HTC Sense widgets with other launchers.
MIUI - Pros: Fully Customizable UI. Cons:no 4g, no 720p, it looks like the Iphone UI.
AOSP/CM7 - Pros: Semi-Customizable UI and Many Tweaks. Cons: no 720p.
All these people saying MIUI looks like iOS: Yes, the launcher has no app drawer (that's why I always imediately replace it,just as I do with almost every other standard launcher) and some Iconslook similar (But there are tons of themes that change the icons). That's it! In general the UI looks beautiful imoand the customisation is a huge plus, just like the lot of other custom apps and tweals thatcan't be found anywhere else, neither on iOS not on CM7/ AOSP.
I really like Sense. Unfortunately, it's slow and I have an old-ish phone, so I don't use it. Also, I know HTC isn't gonna release ICS for my phone, so I've started using CyanogenMod. CM9 is great but the UI is lacking in small ways--the launchers have dead space around the widgets and icons. The status bar doesn't say the date. I haven't noticed that many issues, though.
Sense comes first, slow compared to others though

I prefer MIUI over Sense and AOSP. MIUI's user interface just looks much more polish than AOSP and much more customizable than Sense. I never make my Android look like an iPhone, which is why I use other themes, mine looks somewhat like Meego now...
I have tried all of them and I personally like AOSP but at the same time each have their own pros such as miui's ability to customize everything so easily in any way you want but sense is also a very clean ui everything just works nicely with it.
AOSP is my favorite! and MIUI is good,,,and sense is not my type
I want to know what the big difference between ics and jellybean that has everyone so razzled. I tried the jb tester from dax and I like it but.... it looks the same....
I am not sure what features are included in Jelly Bean in the ROM you're talking about.
However, main features are as below:
- Project Butter: Silky smooth UI and higher frame-rate, way less lag and freezing.
- New Notifications: The panel is way better, shows more details and is more interactive. eg. You can reply to an SMS from your notifications
- New Arrangement features: Widgets and icons make way for each other, so it's easier to move your stuff around and organize your home screens more efficiently
- Very minor improvements: Keyboard improvements, Better Play Store, Everything is more polished and cleaner
- Google Now: Swipe up on your lock screen and enter Google Now. Ask it how the weather's like, ask it how big a place is, you can even ask for pictures of dogs/cats or anything you like. You can ask it for a definition, and it'll read it out. If you ask for something it doesn't have a definitive answer for it'll always google it. You can ask it if there are Pizza places nearby, then Google will show you all the details of Pizza shops nearby. (Very cool feature)
Check Youtube videos for more information. But these are mainly the important functions and features.
Cheers

I wonder which version of Android will include a sarcasm detector.
Fellahs if you're going to attack one another then find somewhere else to be. XDA is no place to act like 5 year olds!
I guess they also have a similiar framework according to CyanogenMod team...
Espicially porting...
There is no big difference???
I think ics and jb is same. There is no big difference between ics and jelly bean.
And some little bit features are included in jellybean. No lot of features is there in jelly bean.
Wait and see.....
ICS taste better IMO then a jellybean
