Did you try Apex Launcher? It is very similar to Nova Launcher but has more features.
What do you are looking for in Launchers? Performance? Functionality?

Yes!
Zeam Launcher -> Better in performance and has minimum features;
Regina Launcher -> I used few times, nothing to say.
Go Launcher -> It was a good launcher and has many features. After many updates, this launcher was laggy in my phone (Defy MB525 and Xperia U).
I was using Nova before I turned to Apex this week.
Both are similar and work well, but Apex has more functions like widget override in desktop which I find useful.

I don't like trebuchet launcher but I love the ICS look as I'm running jokers 4.0 ics cm9 rom on my atrix. Any ideas? Or go launcher themes/ other launchers y'all know about?
Anyone know a way to change icons in trebuchet? That would change...part of my opinion.

I really like apex launcher but if ur looking for icon changes go launcher is the best. U can't change icons in app drawer that's obvious, but the desktop ones can be changed easily. Alternatively u can use icon changer app
Hit THANKS if I helped u

Thank you, yah I just don't like treb and I'm not going to ruin ics with golauncher

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

And why? Personally, I prefere Apex because it has all feature, for some functions you must pay for Nova launcher. Also I haven't seen any advantages of Nova, but I think everyone has his own opinion
I tried both and used apex ....it had more to offer for free

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 ...

Apex, without a doubt. It was the only worthy replacement for my Launcher Pro +.

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.

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.

Nova and Apex, I use Apex because it can set vertical wallpaper and icons in dock can swipe both up and down
But another launcher maybe the launcher of the future is Next Launcher (GoEx), supppper smooth

I'm using stock Touchwiz. I used to use Go Launcher when I had the Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0 and used Gingerbread,but those Go Launcher themes don't look too well on the tablet. I don't like having it look like a phone much.

According to slim bean/slim rom Nova uses the least RAM.
Always use Nova Launcher, it's the best in my opinion.

Yeah, to everyone their own, I guess... I personally don't like either Go or Nova, but I do like ADW. However, I still tend to use the stock TW launcher most of the time.

Nova launcher Prime..:good:
Anyone change the stock launcher? I had the Note 4 and the launcher would auto organize apps in the drawer and you could continuous scroll. Anyone able to figure that out at all?
Thanks!
I loathe TW, so I opted for Themer.
It's a bit buggy on the N5 though, and often crashes.
