Oops meant to press quote, but you could try using the stock HC launcher. I like that the best out of all the ones I've tried
I basically have 3 issues with it #1 wasted screen real estate, #2 no folder support, and and #3, can't delete unused home screens

I think he meant the stock honeycomb launcher, not the stock htc launcher. The stock honeycomb launcher does not have wasted space, the other two I'm not sure about.
Ah yeah I saw a "t" in there that wasn't there lol. Yeah I saw the team syndicate one and I tried it out, only problem is it was kinda designed for gb and froyo so it has a virtual notification bar that can't be disabled... However that was the free version it might be able to be disabled on the paid I dunno. Anywhere on XDA I could just grab the apk for the actual stock launcher and install it?

It's in my ROM. If you don't want to download the whole thing for the launcher i could just link it to you
Yeah I might eventually go custom rom, I've had plenty of experience with my captivate , but for now I think I'm just going to stay stock for the time being with the flyer, so if you want to link it thats cool. Thanks!
Wow I guess golauncher hd beta for tablets dropped out today, i'm not sure if it's on the market but I downloaded it and it works. It looks promising

GO Launcher EX is good. Has lots of features that most Launchers don't
But I always miss the glorious sense widgets that you cannot get any where else.
Honestly I've warmed up to the sense launcher a bit. Its basic and bare but the cool animations and awesome sense widgets make it worth using. As far as real estate, Go launcher HD had the issue too, just seems to be a honeycomb thing so whatever really. Think I'll just stick with Sense for now!
yea go launcher HD (beta) is a nice alternative to the stock or htc launchers for sure. just started using it today and really like the folder support
it's not on the market u'll have to search around for it
Yeah I found it from a google search, had a download link,and thats how I got it
Yeah I tried Go Launcher HD and it certainly a beta. Need lots of work.

the stock launcher is pretty bland, I would highly recommend Go Launcher EX or ADW over that if you want a different launcher.

Or GO launcher HD which is made for tablets
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23008720
I use this one, it doesn't run sense widgets, but runs great and looks awesome. I even put it on my phone.
So I have been using Apex lately but want to know which one everyone prefers and why
Sent from my MB870 using xda premium
I really dont see that big of a difference between the two.
Honestly, apex. It has features in the free version that you have to pay for in Nova. I like the app drawer setting to hide apps from the drawer. It seemed smoother for me too. I put apex, nova, trebuche and miui launchers through the paces and I found apex to be the best. If miui launcher wasn't so buggy, I'd use that but yea. I use apex on miui and cm9

You can always try this one:

Its actually pretty nice. Features arent all there, but still nice for a simple launcher.
Apex because of the options and customizing I can do with it.
Sent from my CM9'd Galaxy 2
Yeah I prefer apex too, just a better experience overall than nova. I've got the paid version but as mentioned before if you're going for free, apex is absolutely the way to go.

Sent from my MB870 using xda premium
Its too bad that the X2 is not on a nightly CM9 build schedule like the Nook Color. The CM9 trebuche launcher is getting better everyday and is almost on par with Apex now. Soon it will exceed in features, but we are stuck on an old build of CM9.
Can we not just grab the trebuchet launcher apk from a nightly and give it a try?

Cool. I installed it and all seems fine. I dont know what changes were made though. I've been using Apex but may switch to this since it is a system app and seems to runs faster.

Is there any Theme that would Change the Touchwiz to 5.0 or Samsung Galaxy S3 Theme?
If those 2 do not exist Can you please tell me what are good Theme's for Go Luncher App...
Thanks....

Go launcher delivers, you can't go wrong. You might like the cube theme it makes the icons stand out, they seem to float on a darker background. The effect is functional and cool. It also has great page transitions to chose from.
I've been a go launcher fan since i left ics on my beloved captivate. It is extremely configurable.

Hey guys, I just got my S3 (I9300) 2 weeks ago and I love it. Very fast. But the thing that concerns me is that sometimes when I'm scrolling through home screens in touchwiz i see micro stutters in the transitions (like semi-lag but not fully lag, hopefully you guys know what I mean).
Is this normal?
I'm a little worried..
I am on the LF2 firmware. Completely stock, haven't rooted or installed any custom ROMS.
Is it the redraw? Theres a fix for that
Or the wallpaper scrolling? Fix for that too
Use the search function. Its really helpful, as is google search

No its not the redraw issue. It happens when i scroll between home screens.
On touchwiz?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Yes on TW, you can not do much about this. there SOME sammy roms Foxhound is one with the right kernel that got rid of the micro stutter on TW
but its TW not the phone or Rom!!!
most other launchers do not have this problem.

Yes from touchwiz, the launcher that Samsung puts in.
Get nova or apex launcher
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Anyone else notice these micro stutters by moving through the home screens?
I just need to make sure this is not a faulty device/hardware issue.
Yes its the launcher mate. Seen this posted before.
As i said. Try nova launcher
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Never noticed any stutter on the home screen scrolling I'm using stock LFB rom with speedmod kernel.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
From my experience, every Android phone I have ever owned has had some degree of micro stuttering, and it has always bugged me. It's also interesting, because some people claim not to be able to perceive any stuttering, while others do, so it seems to be a very subjective matter.
I'm very happy to say, however, that the experimental builds of Jelly Bean have finally stopped 95% of this issue for me. I'm hopeful that once Samsung releases official Jelly Bean binaries we will see the remaining 5% gone too, but either way, I believe it is already smoother than any iOS device out there, which has generally been my baseline.
Edit: Changing launchers does help, but only on the home screen and app draw.
If you are using a live wallpaper try to change it as some LW are laggy.
Also try to check the services that are running in your background through setting-application manager. Maybe you have too many background processes
And lastly wait for jellybean update as this will make the UI interface super smooth cause by project butter of Google

It's no JUST TW. There is still some stuttering, even running CM9. Yes, the amount of stuttering is reduced, but the root cause is still at the heart of Android (pre JB anyway).
In all fairness you are right. But TW is the most noticeable, and moaned about lol

LAG FREE Launcher (Promise) TSF Shell-----but its 15 bucks.
Even SPB shell runs damn smooth-----15 bucks
adw ex launcher, i had no lag - but i liked TW better
im on MiUi now, and again No Lag with the MiUi Launcher.
so yes i understand it happens, i saw the lag in Nova, and Apex, and Trabuchet ( or whatever )
im not saying your wrong, just pointing out that you DONT have to live with it and its NOT the hardware/phone....thats all i was getting at.

Agreed, but the launcher is such a small aspect of the phone that it usually just annoyed me more, as it proved the hardware was capable, but that Android itself was slow!
Anyway, "project butter" has totally changed the experience, and will be a big draw card to iPhone users who were hesitant to switch in the past
Thank you all for your help!!
Next Launcher beta by go dev team. Work in progress but looking nice. Check it out. Not fully featured yet but getting there.
Don't forget to thank the Devs for there hard work.

Its the Next evolution of Go launcher I believe. Better animations and transition effects. 3d widgets, animated icons,and more. Beta version 4 should be coming soon with gesture support.
I just installed it in my att note and it runs really great!! Love the transitions and 3d effects, it would be nice to add more shortcuts to the dock, or have more than one dock, scrolling.
Thnaks for the work!!
