How to change app drawer from horizontal pages to vertically oriented, using the default launcher? I used ADW before, but the default ICS launcher looks fine to me... for now
Also, there's how to increase the number of slots for shortcuts and widgets in home - in the default launcher too?

With stock Trebuchet launcher there really isnt a way, if i were you id look into alternate launchers like NOVA or APEX , i personally use apex though i dont see any options for vertical scrolling through the app drawer

i dont like the app drawer of launcher pro...is there a way to change it..???..
i want to stick to launcher because of the widgets it has...is there such a launcher with better app drawer and supports folders??
what exactly dont you like? The scroll direction, size of icons, number of rows / colums? all of this is easily tweaked with launcher pro. It would help if you told us exactly what you do not like. I prefer ADW EX personally
Try Go Launcher EX from the market.

Agree! Go Dev Team is making new widgets too!
I'll quote myself from another post:
I've been using Go Launcher Ex for the past weeks and it's great.
It has some good features like a latest used apps' list, apps can be uninstalled by the click of your finger in app browser etc.
However, ADW Launcher / Ex has beautiful themes you can use.
Both ADW and Go launchers are stable on my P500.

Has anyone else noticed the stock launcher gets very slow/laggy when there are a lot of icons on the homescreens?
Try this: Fill one of the home screens completely with shortcuts to various apps, after each app try sliding between screens by dragging your finger across the screen, or try moving the icons around. after about 5 or 6 i find it to get slow, and after completing an entire row the lag is very noticeable.
Put all those icons in a folder and its back to normal speed. Anyone else notice this? are there any fixes for this?
Try apex launcher or nova launcher, adw ex, go launcher hd, go launcher ex, trebuchet launcher.
Stock launcher works well for me. I have Widgets and tons of icons n folders. No lag at all swiping screens and no lag at all with app launcher.
i have no problem with the app launcher just the homescreens have lag when i have too many icons.
You say with the stock launcher you have no lag? what version are you running and how many icons do you have on various different screens?
My sister loves her SGS2 and I suggested that she use Go Launcher as her default launcher. She likes the customization available with Go Launcher, but misses the ability to add app drawer pages that was possible with the stock launcher. Is there any launcher that has this feature?
Bump.
Something like Xperia S launcher?
How can i add more app shortcuts on ics's quick place which is shown in the picture by red circle
Get a different launcher. I'm pretty sure both Apex Launcher and Nova Laucher support different dock pages.
He's Right

He's Right. In Nova Launcher you can go in settings->dock and change the number of icons like I have in my screen shot below.
I've noticed some people taking screenshots while in tablet mode and their icons are either normal or larger
I'm running cm9 at 213dip and I really can't understand how you could possibly change the icon size any larger- although if there was a way it would not only be very beneficial; but extremely convenient

Have a look on your launcher settings, should be able to size them in there
My launcher doesn't have those settings. Is there something in the build prop I could edit?

Doing that would change the size of the entire system... There is more than one launcher

I have not tried Go Launcher EX yet - does it will allow you to resize homescreen icons, not just widgets? I have not seen this option in Apex or Nova. I would also like to see a launcher that vertically centers the icon in the grid square when icon labels are not used so they line up with widgets in the same row, not display them at the top to leave room for the label. Anyone know a launcher that will do this?
I'm stuck on ADW ex just for this reason. You can blow up your icons as big as you want. I haven't found a newer launcher that can do this as well as ADW.
