I'm observe that TouchWiz launcher is not smooth in landscape.
When I rotate my tablet in portrait, smoothness is much better.
What is the reason? Any solution for this? Thx.
In my opinion Touch Wiz is a piece of sh!t...
That's because Samsung's software blows, so there's no solution to that "problem".
We will just have to wait 'till ICS becomes available, because it's supposed to be a lot smoother than Honeycomb. For the moment, I suggest you try a launcher (ADW Launcher EX) so you can fix that lag problem. We all have it.
Thanks.

So, you're using a cooked ROM in GT. TouchWiz also working bad?

Launcher is the main problem and is easy fixable by installing adw launcher ex.

There's no need to import them.
You can add them as you would add any widget

You really don't have to download a launcher. However, ADW ex launcher seems to be bit smoother and allows a lot of customization that is not available in the stick launcher.

Yeah, it is smooth and it allows a lot of customization.
However, I am not using it because widgets are not working very well with the launcher.

There's quite a few launchers you could try personally i prefer go launcher or launcher pro. There's also launcher 7, think that's the right name, that's like the windows phone launcher qq launcher. There really is a lot of em you can try till you find one you like.

I didn't have any problems at all with widgets when I used it. In fact there was added functionality.

Apex is by far the best of the AOSP-look launchers.
Thank you. Nova Launcher is very smooth and fast except when you fill a page of apps and slide from a page to another. Can you tell me if is it possible change lockscreen to another similar Cyanogenmod 9 to?

Just like the title says, can you recommend me good launcher for my tablet? Apex Launcher can be a good alternative, Go Launcher HD doesn't give me what I need.
I'm deciding to change my launcher because it doesn't give me what I need in terms of widget capacities, homescreen numbers and the like.

Apex or Nova. They are both good, although I am currently preferring Nova.

I assume we are talking about tablets running ICS or JB. Why would you use a launcher from the stone ages when there are much better launchers based on ICS available?

Yep, my device is on stock ICS. So far I'm running Apex Launcher and it seems to fit my needs. There's a lapse though: when the portrait grid is resized to 10x10, folder names are somewhat lapping each other.
I'll keep this thread open because I still somehow need inputs from you guys. What I keep on looking now is something that replaces everything just like how Go Launcher replaces everything in my phone.

So it seems the best contenders are Apex + Nova. I'll try Nova soon.

What is the fastest and smooth launcher for ICS tablet for Low ram devices???
When using a launcher, will the launcher ALWAYS run on top of the original launcher?
Or will the original launcher be disabled when using another?
What I really wanna know is if the phone have to work more with an extra launcher installed?
Will a launcher ALWAYS slow down the system? Maybe not noticeable on all devices.

The original launcher will not start.
Okey, thank you. But still a bad launcher could slow it down right?

Yes, just like any other slow app.
Hi,
I was using ADW launcher with ICS.
After having flashed to Jelly Bean, I have noted that the launcher
I was using with ICS (Adw launcher ) is no more compatible .
Adw is in my opinion much more user friendly than TW, has more features like
having more than 4 icons in rows or columns per dock or having a black background below the name of the icons , etc.
Any idea wich launcher has also these features?
Thank you.

I am currently using Apex with official JB. Works fine.
Nova and Apex are still the best for me basically the same features for both launchers
