Nova Launcher
I am in love with the Nova launcher. It just has so many customization's, and I love the overlapping/resizing of widgets especially.
I like the HTC Sense, but now I'm with the galaxy

LOL, what?
Apex launcher..
Im actually using Go Launcher and it also has widget resizing!!
and its pretty cool... folders on app drawer... folder on home screen... and pretty much customizable
APEX, fast and simple.
Nova Launcher
The version Prime of Nova Launcher is the best ... most personalized launcher ...
"FTL (Faster Than Light)" by LowVeld - written for the HTC Desire S. By far the quickest and most stable add-on launcher ever. :good:
Yeah, and you can even overlap widgets and icons!

Have a look at this thread. It's got a few different launchers and lockscreens shown in there and I'll be updating it upon request. Even though it's only showing the information from the Play Store, it's still much easier to have them all in one place, like it is.

Holo Launcher is one of my favorite ! : here
You can try the Xperia-home launcher --> it's a great launcher, fast and powerfull. A lot of custom romm use it by default.
And FTL (Faster Than Light) launcher --> really great too and not discontinued so it'll improve ^^
Until today I've tried holo, adw ex, go launcher.
I think I stick to adw, it has cool animation, 4d drawer and eats an admissible amount of ram.
Go launcher is freaking nice but kills down my phone.
Holo is the fastest I've tried but lacks in customization.

Use GO launcher, the ability to customize will blow your mind!
Go keyboard is nice of course but eats a lot of ram

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.

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

ok so i just switched back to android a few weeks ago i got tired of my iphone but anyways
before i would always use launcher pro plus i loved how you could resize widgets an stuff
i also used to use a few other apps to resize icons an stuff but it was so long ago i cant remember
just trying to see what launcher people are going with (besides htc sense)
ive got launcher pro plus installed now but i think its kinda out dated
when i need another launcher i use nova launcher
I'm usually on sense but like cheezy I like nova as an alternative and a nice stock feeling
alright nova seems like what everyone is going with ill give that a try thanks for the reply's
Nova is pretty slick and has active development. You can even get beta downloads through the app once you install a beta version from xda.
Adw ex.
I loved the trebuchet launcher that was available on bpear's older CNA builds I believe, and it was all I used until development was put on hold for a bit. Then when I switched to Nocturnal Dirty I stuck to using Holo Launcher HD.
I use Apex Pro, smooth and customisable.

I was a big sense fan and then I tried Apex a while back and enjoyed the smoother usage. I have been using Nova for a bit now, it's almost identical to Apex, I like the method Nova uses to sort widgets better than Apex. It groups things by program, and unless Apex changed something, it would just give you a list of every widget available

Still gives you a list in alphabetical order.
Actually using the TouchWiz launcher bundled with JellyBam. It's not nearly as customizable as Nova/Apex/Trebuchet, but it looks good and is very fluid. Quite enjoy the app drawer transition and pinch zoom.
I use Apex Launcher. I find it to be smoother and more responsive than Nova, at least on CM10. Great launcher. Highly recommended.

I loved touchwiz, but trying nova and apex since last night. Both seem good, I can't decide which one I like better. Touchwiz is great if you don't care to customize the looks imo.
most of the comparisons I've seen apex vs nova is apex has all the stuff for free that nova has in prime (the paid version). I use nova myself as I purhcased it when it was on sale for 0.25 cents and haven't gone back. I used to use go launcher on my droid eris back in the day and my wife uses it on her droid charge (can't wait till her upgrade...hate that phone). My personal experience is while go launcher is nice..it seems to be more geared for older phones. Another launcher you may want to try as I hear its been upgraded is adw. All the launchers will be rather similar with small differences (unless you shell out 15 bucks for the 3d one that I can't remember the name of).
Nova all the way.
On my previous phone I tried and liked all of the big three ICS/JB variants... Holo, Apex, and Nova. I used Holo the most because I got the paid version on sale. But since using the GS3 I've loved how the latest Touchwiz looks and feels. I like the way it looks, it's smooth, I get folders, app drawer folders, hidden apps, etc. And I love the calendar widget on Touchwiz.
The only thing I missed is gestures. I used to have two finger swipes setup to launch specific shortcuts/apps when I used Holo Launcher.
If I ever get sick of Touchwiz I'll definitely move on to Holo or Nova.

I really like Nova. For me it seems to be a little smoother than Apex. I'm using the paid version and think it is worth the cost.
Nova, Nova, Nova and Nova.
Did I forget to mention? Nova.

If money is of no issue then TSF. Just offers way more customization but it's pricey.

Nova for me. Apex and nova are what I narrowed down to a couple months back, both are very good, very smooth and very similar. Differences I remember when investigating were apex having separate up and down swipe options on dock icons (very cool) and nova having folders in the app menu. Everything else seemed comparable.
But, with the number of apps I have installed... folders in the app menu won out so I use nova.

Best launcher to have is one that includes all the options you need to achieve the look and feel you want For me it is Nova.
I use Apex, but I have to admit after watching this Ubuntu Theme video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GgxzbvuHwi0 I might be getting TSF. Looks cool.

Agreed tsf launcher is number one in my list, only downfall is there is no auto landscape. Next i would say sbp shell fully customizable as well. Then i would say nova prime, tied is holo, adw, nova, go launcher, touchwiz. If you have any extra loot try the tsf.

Apex here as well. Been jumping between Apex and Nova for a while now as I'm trying to decide on which paid version I should spend my money on. Currently can't seem to find much different in them, but somehow I like Apex a bit more...
Are there any other considerable choices than these two?

I am also using Nova
Stock CM10
Using nova on my TF, LauncherPRO on my Blade.
Nova worked good on the TF before, but the latest 3-4 updates have made it very unstable :/
Maybe works better on the HOS but... meh... stock cm10 works fine.
Try holo launcher hd, super smooth
Tried apex and holo now... Apex seems nice. Gonna use it a while and see if its stable enoguh for my needs
SPB Shell 3D, very very nice.
ADW is also good now that it's finally been upgraded.
