Hey guys, I have done a lot of googling but can't seem to find a solution. I'm running Paranoid Android 3.60, so I can have an AOSP android 4.2.2 rom while keeping the 4.1 tablet UI. Only problem is the stock launcher and trebuchet even with the DPI and size played with still have a dock on the bottom like the phablet UI. Apex launcher has an option to use Tablet UI so i get what I want, but Apex doesn't have the play store icon in the corner of the app drawer like stock launchers do. I know this is being really picky, but I really want a stock launcher with the 4.1 Tablet UI. How can I achieve this? Is there somewhere I can download the 4.1 Tablet UI launcher for android 4.2.2 or something?
Thanks in advance for any replies!

I own an Acer liquid mini android v 2.3.5 !! I like touchwiz 4 launcher a lots but I m not getting an appropriate touchwiz 4.0 launcher for my phone ! Where will I get a working touchwiz 4.0 launcher for my phone ???
Help
I don't know where you can get one. But being an experienced user of Touchwhiz; I wouldn't recommend it. Use go launcher or something similar. Touchwhiz is bad in my opinion. Search the forums though, XDA has a great search engine.
Once I get my Samsung devices I will replace the launcher with Go Launcher EX. Because the stock launcher is just too laggy
TW4 is so bigger for more phones. My SGS is lagging with TW4 i use TW3 or Lancher EX
TW4 isn't bad on my phone...
But I still prefer Go Launcher Ex for its configurability.
Desktop vizualizer makes icfons at half size, with no way to fix as far as i can tell, i've told them but have gotten no reply.
folder organizer items work, but it places the shortcuts as a widget instead of a shortcut like it did in honeycomb.
so right now i have no way to add normal shortcuts to my homescreen with a custom icon.
does anyone have any apps that work properly?
I used adw for my custom shortcuts

not really a lot of help. i'm not asking for a custom launcher. ICS launcher is just fine. i just want to be able to actually make custom icons like i could in honeycomb.
i find it really hard to believe that no one running this tablet on ICS with a stock launcher is using custom icons. come on.

Have you tried Nova Launcher? Its basically the Stock Launcher, but allows for editing/resizing Icons and Widgets. Plus, you can install Icon packs for ADW and manually assign Icons of your choice to whatever you want...then resize them if you want.
Nova has a free version, and a Prime version with a few extra fun features. Both are in the Market.
yeah i've tried nova and the others, and personally i don't like/want to use them. i find the stock launcher just fine.
i'm just annoyed because for the first time in android history, i can't make custom icons work right. and i'm just shocked that it seems that no one else here is using custom icons on a stock launcher.
there are some ics roms out there already? are you rooted?

So you seem to be stuck on using the Stock launcher.
Well if you had tried Nova as you said, then I got to know, what about Nova didn't you like? I mean, Nova is basically stock from the look, and it adds the ability to use custom icons or ones from an icon pack, and allows you to resize them...which is what you are complaining about.
So, what is it about needing/wanting to use stock launcher, when Nova is stock with a few added features, one of which is using custom icons.
i don't have my TF rooted, so i lose the widgets menu, it doesn't have the tablet transitions, app drawer is 5x5 instead of 8x5. and to be honest, it's not as smooth as the stock ics launcher for me.
and honestly, i'm just still in a shock that apparently everyone is just using nova or adw.
i refuse to believe that i am the only person on this forum with an ICS transformer that is using the stock launcher with custom icons. that cannot be possible.
My gf currently has the skyrocket from [email protected] and just updated to ics. I have the epic touch 4g and I go to settings, all, then clear defaults on two launcher to get the pure ics launcher. However I have noticed that the skyrocket does not have the plain launcher. Only tw launcher. Is there .a yto enable ics launcher without downloading a launcher. I thought Google required all phones on ics to have the default launcher as well.

You can also try Nova launcher
Yeah only he TW trash. Flash CM9. It doesn't have TW. It cones with trebuchet and is the spitting image of the default ics launcher complete with the persistent search bar. But if you don't want to go through the ROM flashing process then apex or nova launcher is for you. Both are virtually the same and amazing. Some have different options but both great. I go with nova prime for the ability to folder some apps in the app drawer which was always something I had been looking for. I'd suggest you and her play around with the available launchers to see which suits best.

You can download a launcher from the playstore (I recommend Nova Launcher, Apex Launcher, or ADW) and they will allow you to customize your app drawer and just about everything else. Hope this helps...

Acually already know that but i want to edit the main drawer of trebuchet launcher anyone ?

I'm not running Trebuchet now, but I have. I'm not 100%, but I know Trebuchet to be a purposefully minimal launcher to use very little memory, thus may offer few customization options.

nova by far is the best in my opinion
as you can set the type of icons through its launcher settings
