I really like the minimalist look and feel of the stock Asus theme. Nova, Apex, etc have to many bells and whistles for my tastes. But, I really like the icon dock. Any way to add that feature to stock?

Install CROMI with the new JB launcher. You'll get stock everything and that neat dock at the bottom following you around.

I use Nova Launcher Prime, very customizeable.

Checked it out, very nice.
Thank you.
I use nova right now on my Droid inc, but am loving Apex on this tablet. Both launchers come from very respectable devs.
Edit: I forget to mention the cm9 launcher Trebuchet. It by far does not have much customization as Apex Launcher our Nova Launcher, but I'm sure is, stable as all hell

Pick your poison Nova or Apex.
i tried Go Launcher HD just now. its not bad..but i didn't like it. I do have to say it was very very smooth.
I use apex on my tab and phone works great and is free with lots of features. They do have a paid version now although havent looked into it cause free does everything i want

So far I am giving Apex launcher a whirl. Seems to be rather good. Might give Nova launcher a go later since I've heard some pretty good reviews about it.
I tried several launcher and now use Go Launcher Ex.
On phone (Galaxy S2) it works very good.
On the TF300T it's okay, could be better but is enough for me.
I just need to have directories and the possibility to flip 360°.
Additionally I like it you can use more than one quick launch bar (or whatever the name is).
I tried both Nova and Apex and had a crash with Nova so I it has been Apex now for over three weeks. I liked it so much I sprung for the Pro version. Gestures on a tablet work quite well.
Personally i love the asus launcher...looks neat.

I settled on the Apex launcher, got the pro version and it works fantastically.
I was using nova, but there were a bunch of force quits and hang ups. There was an update recently, but I haven't tried it again since.
Tried Aoex and nova, settled with apex pro , it's fab

So I have been using apex and I am liking it. When I have more free time, I will try nova.

+ 1 for Apex pro. I've used Nova and a few others but I think Apex it the best.
Apex pro launcher with the dock bar on the bottom ftw!

Using GO Launche HD. Just update to new verion, new features, delete apps from homescreen and others. Very smooth and nice I think

I second this. The go dev team really does excellent work and they are dedicated to swift updates and they are always improving their software.
I can't get either nova or apex to quite render some things right: I stick to stock

I bet it do, download nova launcher. You'll see what I'm talking about.
I'm sure most of you know how good it is, but it runs nicely on stock jb.

I believe thats because Nova Launcher isnt optimized for tablets. But correct me if I'm wrong.

Yeah from my experience with it, it was more so for phones. Which is why I prefer Apex over Nova for my TF300.

Having no issues, the only thing different is a less buggy and smoother user experience.
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using Tapatalk 2
not really had any problems with nova? what sort of problems you having?
My stock TF300 was laggy after the JB update, but once I installed Nova things really seemed to smooth out. I still have some issues when docked, but in pure tablet mode, it is very responsive now.
i have nova launcher and it runs good. very smooth and stable.
I like it more than apex and ofc stock launcher.
Try Holo Launcher HD. Amazing.
I'm running Nova Launcher over my new TF3000T with 4.1.1 and run smooooooooooooth.
Anyone else enjoying the new update? So far, flows so much better than apex and nova. Transitions are smoother more numerous and prettier than ever. So many more options to choose from, I had to share.

I was playing with the new ADW Launcher EX last night. It is very nice. However, I uninstalled and went back to stock. Because I don't like a pop-up menu appearing when I hold on a widget. I like the JB resize handles appearing. The extra step just turned me off.
I liked 3rd party launchers in the Pre-ICS days. But since ICS forward, not so much.
Absolutely love the new version of ADW EX - they did an excellent job with it. I really like the custom fonts for desktop icons too - looks so much better than the stock font for desktop icons.
Also love the dock reflections - adds a nice touch.
Really don't have anything bad to say about ADW EX - lots of options, great performance and doesn't seem to be a RAM hog either...
Highly recommended.

One issue that I am running into is that I am a not able to reassign the function of the home icon. I usually use the home button to open and close the dock bar. So far I have not been able to do this?

How did you re-assign that key with other launchers?
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T using Tapatalk 2
I had a hubs layout with instant transitions (that is, no transition), and was a big fan. Setting the transition speed to 0 accomplishes that in the old adw ex, but not in the new one. I rolled back to the old thanks to titanium. Not sure if it's a bug, an oversight or intentional.
Not saying it's bad, just doesn't suit my preferences.
Maybe I should try this too. I used stock for a long time until tried Nova. Omg what a difference with speed! Nova is so much faster than stock.
But if ADW faster than Nova I think I could be 95% satisfied with the speed of this tablet. (browser still has many problems)
I had bought ADW maybe 2 years ago and then it had problem not having updates so I changed to others. Might give it a try now. Thanks for headsup!
Try ADWLquncher ex the november update gave it a new life : before it was far slower than apex (my previous launcher) and now it's far faster and smoother

I have been having great luck with UCCW on my phone. Is there an app similar for tablet size widgets?

Not really (that I know of) but cool tablet widget are:
- HD Widgets (weather/clock/quick toggles),
- EyeInSky (weather)
- (I like stock widgets )
UCCW should work fine on a tablet (just like pretty much every widget), but it will not look great most of the time.
Ive been wondering, what are your guys and gals favorite roms. Ive been using go launcher hd but want a change, any ideas?

I think there is a launcher thread in General, actually started by me. Apex seems to be the best for speed and smoothness but there are others that work well too.

I have been using Nova Prime since buying my Infinity, and before that on my old Xoom. It has worked smoothly and well on both devices, though I recall that some people here have had issues trying to use it with the Infinity.
I have always used Nova, but now that Chameleon and Action Launcher are getting better and better, I have switched to Action Launcher and I love it!
