For all you all, Nova Launcher does in fact work great with the Prime tablet. Just set the home screen grid to 10 columns by 7 rows for proper sized layouts, and i would stick to the cube or none transition.
but it does work great! just so everyone knows. (not a fan of adw, personally)
i've been using it as well, and i agree it works great, super fast and much cleaner looking than adw imo.
i've been using a 10x8 layout personally.
I use Nova too. I actually hadn't gotten around to changing the layout because I like my screen bare. But I'll have to try that. So far I like it the best, pretty quick.
Dock not showing up
Am I doing something wrong? I can't figure out why the dock isn't showing up. Anyone run into this problem?
why do you say it works great?
the icon labels doesnt show in landscape mode, the card stack transition is messed up. hardly can say working great...
however i do agree it has great potential and worth keeping an eye out for.
it has some issues, but it runs very fast and doesn't have any issues that are showstopping.
I really like it! thanks for this post!

Same here!!! Is hidden because of the tablet config???
-------------------------------------------------------------
This is due to the device type... Tablets = No dock by default. This may change with future releases of the Nova launcher.

The icon labels only show up when there is enough room for them, I've got my desktop grid set to 7 Rows and 8 Columns and they show up fine. If you add anymore rows, the labels dissappear.
The only problem I have with Nova is that the wallpaper is zoomed regardless of how I crop it. Anyone else have this issue?

it has to do more with how HC/ICS handle wallpapers over the launcher, i use the multipicture lwp and it sets them properly.
ok guys... seriously.
NovaLauncher is a modified stock launcher. notice you don't have a dock on your stock launcher on your ICS tablet. well.. that's why you don't have one in NL either. tablet's don't have launchers unless you get a 3rd party launcher that forces one on a tablet, like adw. even launcher pro does it but not well.
secondly i can say that it works great because it does. don't use the card transition. the icons labels DO appear in landscape, just depends on how many ROW you are using in your grid.
why don't you do some investigating and trying things out before flaming the app. it does have great potential, but it also works great NOW!. it's better than the stock launcher, and personally i dislike ADW. so cada loco con su tema.

You won't find it on the marketplace. Grab it from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1389071. Just download and install the NovaLauncher_beta.apk that's all you need. It quite good. Oh one quick hint... Once you installed use Titanium Backup to convert the app into a system app, that way the widget will preview properly as your ICS stock launcher.
By the way... is in fact the best launcher for ICS so far...

Has anyone else here tried Go Launcher? I think it's my new favourite. It locks my Streak's screen in portrait by default and is very smooth. You can also organise you home screens better than other launchers too, similar to that of the Galaxy S where you can add, remove and re-arrange your home screens.

I prefer it. I'm using a pixel density of 200 though so 5x5 is a good for me. It seems to run smoother for me than ADW and I really prefer the way it does the previews as opposed to the sense leap style. You can have up to 9 homescreens which is a bonus.
The only thing I'm not 100% on is the app drawer.

+1 on uninstall from drawer. I just wish the top row was smaller, or there was an option to turn it off. To be honest, I generally don't use the drawer very much anyway so it's not a big deal for me.
There are only two things keeping me from using LauncherPro. It can't be locked in portrait. I use a lot of widgets, so if it switches from portrait to landscape then it takes a long time to switch back. The other is that if I want to change the number of home screens, I need to move all of my widgets if I want the default screen to be in the centre.
Tell you what, if Go Launcher can put together a swish Facebook widget like the one in LauncherPro Plus, I'll be sold!

LauncherPro not being able to lock in portrait is only a problem on the Dell Streak because the default orientation of the device is Landscape :/ LauncherPro DOES take SOOO long to switch from portrait to landscape and it annoys the heck out of me if I'm holding my Streak in Portrait and unlock it... feels so sluggish.
The app drawer in GO Launcher is nice, but I wish we could squish more apps side-by-side. That and the text seems like it doesn't fit and shows like Ca...ra (Camera) but for almost all the apps.
I stop using go launcher and went back to launcher pro. Could not get used to the small grid size. If they update the grid I will download it again.

I like this Go Launcher, very stable and smooth. This can really lock the screen in protrait mode. Much better than Launcher Pro.
The dock on go launcher is turned left about some pixels..(on potrate)
Question for those using Go Laucher - is there a fix for the issue of the Dock background graphic not scaling correctly on the streak (for example the "ruler" from the sketch theme only covers about 2/3rds of the background of the dock)?
I'm running 2.2 (build 315)...
thanks
I guess it is because of the different DPI Dell Streak have (other WVGA devices have 200 dpi, Streak have 160 dpi). Maybe try to ask authors?
But good news, Go Launcher Ex can have now custom rows and columns on desktop now!
Using latest version of go launcher. Much smoother than adw and pro. It is now my favorite one. Zeam follows as close second because its latest release freezes alot.
I am not seeing any of the issues reported about wallpaper.

Just letting y'all know NOVA launcher is out of it's beta stage and is on the market now in the free version and prime. I highly suggest purchasing the prime version, even though it is $4.00, it comes with a lot of cool settings.
>>>updated to 1.0.2
added on prime:
gestures
swipes
hide apps
additional scroll effects
[Nova Launcher | Nova Launcher Prime]
Screenshots would be nice
click on the links... they're links to the market.
The launcher is great but it doesn't have an option to change the grid size in your app drawer, only in the desktop. I wanted to have 5 colums in my app drawer but there's no option to change it.
well remember it is at the 1.0 stage and I'm sure they're going to add more features soon...
This launcher is pretty great! been using it with Turls ics kang. I will purchase to support your efforts.....Thank you!
Question for ya though. Is thier any way to be able to turn the Nav bar on and off? It doesn't show up on the atrix, but it would be wonderful if you could turn it on when using the lapdock. I know I'm probably asking for a miracle here, but thought I would ask....Thanks!!

yeah, that's written in the app description on the market.
Permissions:
Root/Superuser: Widgets-in-drawer with previews is require Root due to Android framework limitations. Widgets will be displays in a list like Android 2.x if root is unavailable or denied.
INTERNET/ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE/ACCESS_WIFI_STATE: Optional & Anonymous error/usage reporting.
CALL_PHONE: Only used if you place a direct-dial shortcut on the homescreen.
Wallpaper/Vibrate/Status Bar : Standard Launcher functions
BIND_APPWIDGET: Only if installed as a system app or root. Required for adding widgets from app drawer.
WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE: Backup/restore and beta updates
quick question:
is there a way for nova launcher to restrict or lock homescreen items to avoid being moved or deleted?ofar i havent seen any provision for that feature yet.
im on resurrection 9.4 btw and loving the nova launcher so far.
yea I would love to see that as a option too... there is a website (http://feedback.novalauncher.com/forums/145180-nova-feature-requests) you can request features, and I believe this is one of them...
can you add an option to hide widgets in the drawer?

i used go launcher till a few hours ago and it's laggy as hell once you add widgets etc. it's widgets were nice though. launcher pro is dead now with the author claiming something new is coming out to (i assume) get people to buy the old version
i'm using my old pure messenger for fbook and sms widgets. gmail now includes a decent full screen widget. i just need a decent scrollable calendar one.
Found SS launcher the other day and I'm hooked. Man, it is so different I love it. Can even add things below the screen and scroll vertically on a page. It lags a bit sometimes but with updates it will get better.
Also, 360 launcher. Top stuff. Heaps of themes available from the launcher like go launcher.

+1. Bought the pro version, ridiculously customisable, have hardly scratched the surface yet. Had some bootloops and lag, but they seem to have disappeared today.
My current setup with it is intensely boring, but I'm into lists at the mo, and my battery time is huge.
Only downside is centring widgets - a PITA.

Nice! I did notice it on the desktop thread earlier. The beauty of it are the endless possibilities.
As for widgets, yeah they can be tricky to centre. Sometimes they are a bit small as well so I drag half to the next page, enlarge then centre. I have a few hidden out of view like the power and music widgets.

after changing the density to 160 (from 240) there was something up with all the stock launchers (mentioned in the subject). some wouldn't allow the resize option at all, another did but i couldn't move widgets to the top or sides. there was this big border where i couldn't have any shortcuts or widgets.
h/w acceleration...
So, I don't get is Go Launcher h/w accelerated? If not which are?
go definetely isn't. zeam feels like it is but has no scrolling support so not worth looking at.
ok, trying nova again. for some reason it works properly now i've installed it off the market.
Zeam is too simple and minimalistic for me, I really like the "TSF Shell" but it's not complete yet, a lot of things to do... and it's EXPENSIVE... But it has H/W acceleration and it has a lot of interesting functions... just watch on youtube. It's nice and smooth!
Didn't try NOVA because I'm still on GingerBread (LA4), and as far as I know it's only for ICS...
I wonder why GO developers are ignoring H/W acceleration =(
me too. go launcher with hw accel would be worth a go again. at this point, anything without that isn't worth looking at IMO. far too laggy in comparison. nova now (even with 7 screens full of widgets) is nice and fast. like the stock samsung browser
has anyone here implemented this 3d UI? i am wondering if it is a bit laggy for our snapdragon processor's.

Make sure you have wallpaper scrolling enabled in adw ex settings.

Hi there, has anybody managed to get ADW EX wallpaper scrolling to work on their US note yet? I was notified today that this problem is still around.
I just find this really strange..
I have noticed that all my home screen widgets/icons look like they are spaced too far apart like there is too much padding.
Either the icons/widgets are too small or I should be able to fit an additional row/column.
Anyone else notice this? Or am I missing any easy fix?

Yes, higher resolution means you should be able to fit more on a display. There is def enough room to fit another row, in fact I tried apex launcher and I was able to fit another row. Just like how I would prefer the app drawer to have 5 columns since there is enough room.
I would stick with apex, but it doesnt seem to support sense (or 5 col drawer)

It's strange because some widgets still look great, like pure calendar widget. But some don't. Almost like they hard coded the pixel usage.

some widgets can be resized.
like the calendar and task widgets for instance
even the resizable ones are limited to the grid spacing.
I'm really looking for an extra row on the home screen (and an extra col on the drawer).
I got my phone after they stopped allowing bootloader unlock so I guess I won't be able to take advantage of any mods that people come up with.
I was hoping someone knew of an app like apex_launcher but also supported sense widgets (like clock) and had a 5 col drawer.
I've been using a 5col drawer on my orig Inc for a while with no issues so I assume with this bigger higher res screen, it should be fine.
I think you may see some things like that in the future. But the resolution is the key to making the launchers work like that. Until the launcher devs write something to work for our resolution we'll be screwed for a while

This is absolutely correct. HTC widgets are actually HTC Sense. Launching with any other launcher effectively (but doesn't kill it completely) disables sense. A better way of putting it is, if you use a 3rd party launcher you are giving up the use of all HTC Sense applications/widgets etc.
Sense is the ui, another launcher disables that ui (again, effectively disables. It's still running the processes in the background, just not the fancy widgets)
This is why GoLauncher and all the others, have their own widgets. Those widgets don't work within Sense.
