It's laggy? It's so much better than 2.68 on the Note!
Its better than the stable version on the NOTE but lags once in a while in transition.

Not for me.
On the other hand some translations are missing with the latest Beta.

For me it lags irritating much when just having three screens with Accuweather, Samsung Digitalclock, Go Calendar and Go Message Widget and some app shortcuts, changed transitions to standard and behaviour to smooth but still way to laggy for me
Using the latest apk on my GNote. Not very smooth. ADW EX actually works much better in terms of smoothness and responsiveness.
Works fine here! No lags at all. But what is HD on this version? Everything is the same as it was.
I installed the .apk from the first post of this topic.
Actually, there is no lag. I had my Note set on a custom low power setting. Disabled that and now this launcher is running smooth as butter.

Lags just like 2.68 for me...
What kernel are you using?
I find it strange that touch wiz never lags but Go does...
Both seem to be hardware accelerated...
Optimisations i guess..

After using it for a day I just could not accept the tw launcher and had to install ics launcher.
Just wondering if anyone has found the touchwiz launcher useful and if so why?
If you ditched it which launcher did you go to?

TW ruined the ICS that's all I can say.

It's not a terrible launcher.... Just boring. Not very customize-able. I have and will always use an aftermarket launcher. AdW eX to be exact.
I am using Nova Launcher. I have had no issues with it so far.

Even though I dont have ICS yet (****ty Rogers), I definitely agree with hawk
I was looking for a nexus experience but didnt want to get a galaxy nexus.
Thats why i would recommend Nova Launcher, Ive watched enough videos
I'm neutral, just looks like plain old touchwiz to me. Like the one we've always had, And I think we expected that. But with the added multitasking features And other added features its beem a pleasurable experience so far And I'm thourghly enjoying it.

I would definitely love you if you get it vanilla. I hate touchwiz, most useless software ever.
BTW you got any ETA as to when its coming out?
I ditched it for Apex. Much nicer.
I've always used launcher pro, so i'm super used to it. I just have it set up to have an ICS feel to it using this guide. I've had this for a while now, but now I actually have true ics

This is what it turns out to look like. Not too shabby, b/c I don't really like Nova or Apex that much.

Yea, the touch whiz completely ruined ICS for me. I had ICS running on my Inspire 4G before I upgraded to the Skyrocket, which was aosp ICS. I could definitely see all the differences straight away, and was quite underwhelmed by the ICS leak. I think some of the best parts of aosp ICS are missing. I used apex launcher for a while to try to make it a bit better, but in the end, went back to my NexusMod 4 backup.
Looking forward to some vanilla ice cream goodness.

Besides the launcher (which I ditched and bought Nova instead), I don't know what else is TW. I have no experience with ICS till today's flash-fest, so it all seems good to me (minus the TW launcher).

I think its a race right now between a few of you guys to get an aosp style rom puahed out! I really appreciate your guys' hard work!
I've just recently started looking into rom development myself and if I thought I could help yet id offer but I'm not there yet. Keep us posted on how you're doing! I know I'm watching the dev section like a hawk!

The launcher, app drawer, and settings menu are the biggest changes. Some other little things like icons are changed too though.

+1 fpr apex. I use apex on my galacy nexus and now my skyrocket as well
The thing that annoys me most about TW on ICS is that they got rid of the settings button in the notification pull down. Like... WHAT THE **** SAMSUNG?

They also hobbled the lock screen. AOSP ICS allows for many music players to have controls on the lock screen. Samsung only supports it's own music player to have controls on it's TW lock screen. I just don't get it, why take away features?
On top of that to still not add a widget (since you are forced to use the stock TW music player to have lock screen controls) for the TW music player is just stupid. Makes you wonder how thought out TW is.
I know it sounds silly, with such a big screen, why would we want a UI that consumes so much of the screen? Well I think it would just be kinda neat to see it on the Xoom, who knows maybe people like it more? Is there any possibility of this happening? I have EOS 3 126 and it is running just fine.
Here's some more info for you, even though I don't have the answer.
Nexus runs phone UI, Xoom runs tablet UI.
Nexus can be tweaked to run tablet. My guess is its a build.prop tweak.
See that's what I thought cause that's how you get the Nexus 7 to run the tablet interface, so I don't know of the same thing can be done with a simple build.prop mod.
Sent from my Xoom
To get the phone UI, you need to change the DPI I believe. I tried it and my XOOM didn't boot, had to reflash my ROM. Probably not a good idea.
Sent from my Xoom using xda premium
Same, I was messing with the DPI but after I did that it just wouldn't boot, which sucks.
Sent from my Xoom
I wish I had a link to the article so this wasn't such an anecdotal response but I'm 99% sure that I read the ui the nexus uses is actually an in between mode for 7ish inch screens. The thing I read said there was a phone, a 7" and a 10" mode. The only reason I bring this up is that I would be interested in seeing that other view too just to compare so if you find anything else on the subject please let us know.
Edit: http://liliputing.com/2012/07/how-to-change-the-nexus-7-user-interface-to-full-tablet-mode.html
That article has a little more detail on the three ui modes and lists the dpi of the nexus 7 (213). As well as what range to set it to to get it to display the full tablet mode. This might be a good place to start from to try to get the xoom to go down to the middle size ui mode

Well, compare nexus to phone UI. It seems the same.

Not really, in landscape the notification tray pulls down covering only the left of the screen and in portrait it only covers the middle of the screen.

If anyone finds a ROM with nexus style ui plz post it I'd love to try it out on Xoom or gnex and won't get a n7 until Oct or DEC 25
I don't think it is possible t get the Nexus 7 UI n a phone with a smaller display....

I made a universal mod for this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1898907
I really like this on my Xoom, it makes the screen a little weirder to type on but that's only in the beginning, after a while you get used to it. It feels a little slow when dragging the notification window down but it feels faster in some other areas like scrolling through my pages of apps in the app drawer.

Sorry to double post, but I have to say, your universal mod is SO much better on my Wingray. Much faster, the bar is a lot bigger so the soft keys aren't so small and difficult to tap and it is just overall less glitchy, with the other mod, my Xoom restarted every time I held the power button, with yours everything works just fine. Thank you so much.
Oh and the keyboard is so much bigger and better to type on, it seems the other one makes the screen size feel smaller so it all is very much wasting screen real estate.

I'm running CM10 preview and it's just smooth as, well, butter, and I don't really want to ruin the clean-ness of it all if the launchers aren't really ready yet.

I can vouch for Nova. I run it on my Nexus 7 and it's awesome.

honestly i think the complaints about the lag are the most useless complaints, i was simply trying to help people who are new.
i get seriously confused at the people who try to use the stock launcher on any phone at all lol

i dont mind it. its definitely more customizable than most default launchers. ADW, GO, and nova tend to be better... but i REALLY cant stand HTC's sense launchers.... they're very different and very complex in comparison. even the app drawer doesnt have pages its stupid.

Same here.
Turning off all animations in Developer Settings should help.
It looks like much of the lag is from animations being choppy.
Wasted 10 precious seconds of my life by reading this
replacing the launcher doesn't take the lag away from switching between apps and unlocking the screen. I still notice the slight lag
