Hi,
I found ADW based Drake Launcher on the Mad team forum. This has many features of the VTL Launcher but I like it more.
http://www.madteam.co/forum/development/project-drake/
You better try it too. It is light weight, can get those hidden apps from your system, and blazing fast. Since it is ADW based
it works both in landscape and prortrait.

Found a bug:
If you long press an app (in the Dock bar) then it disappears instantly when the Edit flyout appears (240x320 resolution, Froyo 2.2)
Edit: can not reproduce it anymore. Must be a user problem then
Version 0.1.1 now out: http://www.multiupload.com/MFRIE15XKY

Good and Smooth launcher
What are Notification Bubbles? I have not seen one and I use the launcher very long now on multiple phones.
Should it be something like new e-mail or sms and missed calls?
Thanks for your time.
Cheers
I'm currently running a HTC Flyer P512 (Market used to identify it
as "HTC Flyer P510e" but since I changed to LeeDrOid's Honeycomb
v2.0.0 rom its identified as "HTC_Flyer_P512_NA" something in
build.prop probably changed ).
ROM: LeeDrOid's HC v2.0.0
I'm not even sure which launcher's support Honeycomb
or how they display the icons on the desktop.
Do any of them offer a replacement for People's full screen
widget to select contact by image? Do any of the offer a
calendar agenda view widget?
There are several alternative launchers on the market. ADW EX and Go-Launcher are two that are quite popular. They both offer some extra features over the stock Android.
But... you cannot use HTC widgets with them and I have never found any third party widgets that are comparable to some of HTC's. There's a couple of People contact widgets out that are not bad, but no email or bookmarks that work well. There's lots of calendar apps that are pretty good. My preferred setup is to keep sense and use ADW EX as an alternate. Then I can have best of both. I use Sense when I am working and need my emails and contacts handy and ADW when I am relaxing and want to play.
You can easily switch which is your default launcher.
How do I get the alternate launcher to start?
I'm using LeeDrOid's Honeycomb v2.0.0 ROM
The sense launcher is the current default,
how do I get a prompt to switch, or is there
an app that does that?
If you have another launcher installed hit home, should show both options. If not go to settings then applications then manage, select all, find browser abd clear defaults

If you decide to make one launcher permanent so you quit getting asked every time you hit the Home button there is a free app called Home Switcher that lets you easily switch back and forth.
When you try another launcher its a completely separate desktop and icon layout. Make sure you like the launcher before you invest the time to redo your desktop setup.
I'm using Go Launcher and I like 99% of its customization options. I also use Folder Organizer to make desktop folders for my apps. It has you choose different tags like Games, Utils, etc for your apps. Then with each new app you install, folder organizer will notify you so you can classify it and it will appear in the right folder(s). You can even nest folders.
Ok, new View owner... longtime lurker on the site.
I really like the Sense experience on this tablet, my phone is a rooted Nexus S4g with ICS. There- I have a few custom launchers which just add to the ICS experience rather than be a replacement- I'm using Nova currently.
Does no one have a custom ROM that modifies Sense to resize widgets to any size (this is really my main gripe... I want to widen Sense widgets in Honeycomb) As I don't think there's any way to hack another launcher use sense widgets.
Which home screen app are you guys using? Im using ADW right now as it seems to offer the best tablet support but there is a problem with every launcher I have tried.
1) ADW EX: Some bug in setting wallpapers where all wallpapers are shifted down. No widgets like GoLauncher or LauncherPro
2) GoLauncher: My favourite launcher on my phone but no tablet support yet. Can't remove the dock bar (I know you can hide it) and some of the UI looks poofed up.
3) LauncherPro: Their app drawer is ugly as hell and has no customization.
Any good recommendations/solutions? Is it possible to port Go Widgets to ADW somehow?
xGary,
From the thread where people post their Prime Home Screenshots, it seems they solve this issue with MultiPicture Live Wallpaper.

Does it support the prime res?

I'm using Nova Launcher right now. Tried the ones listed above and it is true that none of them natively support ICS yet.
Nova is working perfectly 18hrs and going, even though it's in Beta still. It supports the native res of the Prime and it can resize widgets and adjust rows and columns of the home screen. My biggest surprise is Nova organizes you widgets as well, similar to appwidgetpicker does on the phone. I can access the widgets I want faster now.
Stock launcher the best. Works the best n fastest n won't have any issues. I have adx ex launcher but it messes up the wallpapers by having that bar run across the top.
Hello
I've set up HUBS and my Prime, and I quite like that minimalistic look and overall cleanness of it, but they are a bit too empty at the moment.
You can see my homescreens here:

I'm looking for some good widgets to put on here for some cool features.
I'd also be open for suggestions on particularly good apps that you simply cant live without
I'm using ADW Launcher EX, and as far as I've tried/seen/heard, scrollable widgets doesn't work when using ADW Launcher EX on ICS. (Very sad :/)

Hello everybody,
Since the stock launcher can't hide app's, i have to look for another launcher.
I tried Laucher Pro, but that doesn't look like the stock launcher.
Next i tried Nova launcher, it was almost perfect, only the app and settings icon are next to each other, which is a bummer
There are others i didn't try yet.
So what launcher is everybody using.
And more important why that launcher, and not an other one?
I use ADW ex
None of the others seem to work right with tablets (unless I am missing one).

stock launcher
What is Stock launcher? I searched the market but can't find it!
It it possible to modify the stock launcher so that apps can be hidden?
I use Go Launcher on my Phone, amazing launcher, sadly the HD (tablet) version is nowhere near as good as the Phone version yet. It is in Beta version tho, and they are working fast on it, but for the time being is meh.
Tried almost all other Launchers that you posted there, and there was always something that I really hated from them, and most of them lagged badly when the Prime was in Eco Mode (Stock one does not lag at all, even with Live Wallpapers)
I found out that the one with best Performance in Eco Mode, and allowed to have better transition effects and such was ADW Launcher EX, Stock is still faster, and Im not 100% happy with the App drawer from ADW (Stock one rocks) but since I organized everything using the "HUBS philosophy" I rarely access the App drawer anymore
Some Widgets do not scroll correctly in ADW, if this happens to you, be sure to scroll using 2 fingers and not one (Not sure if it is a bug or feature). This does not happen with all scrollable widgets tho.

I love SPB Shell 3D and it works perfectly on both the TF101 and TF201.
Why I use it,
up to 16 home screens,
drag and drop to rearrange the home screens,
I like and use the specialized widgets ship with the launcher (wish they'd open up the API for those)
Carousel to move quickly from one home screen to a "far away" screen
It's not quite as customizable as ADW but I very much like the look and feel. The only real downside is the $15 price tag, and no free/trial version.

I've used sob mobile shell 3d on prime. I tested it out it is a really good launcher. I love the carousel and the customized widget pages they have that comes with the launcher. then add in the fact you can easily swap or move the different screens around is an added bonus. its a launcher like no other. I may eventually buy it down the road.
has it had any recent updates or does it get updated alot?

I have recently moved to Nova as the stock kept crashing on me and so far I have no complaints about it. Have had no problems with the stock launcher before all the crashing started.

Its the stock launcher but much much more improved
Like the ICS stock browser? Then you shall use "ICS Browser+"
If you like the original ICS stock browser is ICS Browser+ proberly the best browser out the there. Its look like and work like the original browser but adds many handy extra functions. Notice that you can make panel quick controllers with up to three rings and edit them all, as you like !
If you haved use Dolphin Browser you proberly used some plug-ins . I was only missing Dolphin Google Translate plug-in. but with ICS Browser + I instead use Web Translator Pro. Just mark text and touch "share". Then you share with Web Translator and immediately you have the site in a new language.
By PC Magazine selected as one of "The 10 Tastiest Apps for Ice Cream Sandwich" Based on the stock ICS browser, this browser adds many handy extra functions:
* Auto text reflow after pinch to zoom * Option to create extra quick controls (with easy to use quick controls editor. Add up to 3 rings, with extra controls like bookmark page, close other tabs, share etc etc) * Possibility to set the User Agent string * Fine tune quick controls behavior * Option to use volume keys for scrolling * Home button on action bar for tablets * Gesture support. More and more functions will be added along the way.
