[Q] Android: What's the most visually pleasing and productive launcher?

Hey guys,
I've tried ADW Launcher, Launcher Pro, Zeam Launcher, Launcher 7, Regina 3D, SPB Shell 3D, Android home and LG Home.
After trying all these, I still couldn't find a launcher that satisfies me. The biggest issue is that you can't fit a lot on the same home screen. Of course, you can add more home screens and change the 4x4 layout into more. But, with more home screens, it's hard to remember what is where and when you increase from 4x4 to 5x5 or more, the designs break.
Also, when you fill up the same screen with too many shortcuts(ie when all 16 slots are occupied), it becomes way too cluttered.
Visually pleasing doesn't really mean 3D. It's just the right kind of graphics.
Any solution to it?
i know - it's a really hard choice, as every launcher got it's problems...
i tried ADW Launcher, Launcher Pro and a few months ago i switched to Go Launcher, which - i must say - is my absolute favorite...
The best compromise for me is to sort the apps into categories. Go Launcher, for example, allows you to sort your app shortcuts into folders, then you can put shortcuts to these on your homescreen. I have 8 folders (Games, utilities, web, multimedia etc.) with icons sitting on my first home screen. Tapping one of those brings up a 'mini app drawer' containing a subset of your apps.
You can achieve the same thing with apps such as 'Folder Manager' and 'SIMI Folders' - these also have more customisation options for things like icons and backgrounds.

[Q] Turn off Honeycomb Wallpaper shifting on all screens?

Hello, is it possible to turn of wallpaper shifting? I mean I want to have a single wallpaper on all screens that is not shifted between them, like in Android 2.3 on my Galaxy TAB, I can choose wallpaper format, wide or thin, portrait, that stays the same on all screens and only the desktops move...
Honeycomb has 5 screens, and wallpaper moves slightly through screens left or right. How can I use a wallpaper in the background that stays frozen and only desktops move?
Multipicture Live Wallpaper has a wallpaper for each screen, I want only one wallpaper, with moving desktops.
I have an Acer A500
Im not a fan of shifting wallpaper either. This app called MultiPicture Live Wallpaper seemed to fix that for me.

[Q] Touchwiz Home Weather/Clock Widget

Is there a way to use the default home weather/clock widget with another launcher? Every time I try to add it, it doesn't show up in the list of available widgets. I want to use it with Nova Launcher.

[Q] How to stop Wallpaper scrolling?

Other than only using 1 screen with the default launcher or another launcher like Nova, is there any way to turn off wallpaper scrolling? Or is there an option I'm not seeing that lets me crop a wallpaper for portrait only?
With Nova, there is an option to disable wallpaper scrolling in the settings under desktop. Not sure about the stock launcher, Nova was the first thing I installed.

(Q) - Lockscreen widgets. How?

Hey guys, iam no novice to Android, did a ton of modding/theming/flashing on my MDK s4, and my s3 before that. But for some reason I can't put my own widgets on the lockscreen.
Yes, in security settings I have multiple widgets enabled. But for some reason I can't remove the stock widget and add my own. It's super frustrating. Normally I use Apex launcher but iam sticking with blinkfeed for the moment. So so I need to use a different launcher to get my own widgets? Or is there some other trick? All I want is to use dash clock as my lock screen widget, then poweramp and my news apps to the right. Thanks.
