Very nice ICS launcher for Gingerbread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1636393&referrerid=4611244
Sideloaded the stable version. Running smoothly so far on 1.4.2 + root.
Are the icons icons normal sized on this launcher?

Is there anyway to theme my photon to look exactly like ics i mean the battery icon and all im rooted but bootloader is still locked
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
well you can use nova launcher to get the ics launcher and i think rom toolbox pro will let you change things like battery icons. I did a quick google search and didnt really find any ics themes but i didnt look very hard
Do you have a link to nova launcher i think that one is only for those who are already on Ice cream sandwich

Not really. It's similar-looking, but not "just like".
I have ICS on my Nexus S sitting right next to ICS Launcher on my Photon. Appearance is similar between the two launchers, but functionality is different. There are some features of the ICS launcher that are just not going to work in Gingerbread no matter how much theming you do. The biggest obvious difference is the lack of the Google search bar on every screen. Another is the lack of the Widgets tab (in ICS Launcher there is a tab, but clicking on it opens a typical "add widget" dialog).
Just curious if there is a launcher like Apex that's compatible with GB Roms. Thanks.

Go launcher is highly recommended. Adw is good...if you like how MIUI is set up, try SS launcher..

I did remember there was a ICS like launcher for GB called "ICS launcher" or something.
But to be honest that one s*cked.
If you are looking for a launcher replacement, go launcher worked pretty well for me when I was on GB.
I always just used a Ice Cream Sandwich theme that works with ADW and Go also I think some other lunchers too.

When I was using GB I was using GO launcher it works really well and allows you to do a lot of customizing.
Adw = apex
They have same menus and configs other than the ics features. My apex setup is exactly the same as adw when I was on gb.

Holo launcher is a great ics launcher. Looks exactly the same.

Took the words right out of my mouth. I would highly recommend holo launcher. It's the only ics launcher that truly simulates the ics experience perfectly (or as perfectly as you can on gingerbread). The biggie for me was the stackable shortcuts feature. This is the only one I tried that truly got it right. Spot on. And it's super smooth too.

Could not agree more! Best that I have found. ADW is also really good... just really hard to customize. Especially with custom Icons. Here's a screen shot of Holo Launcher.
I think you should go for ADW Launcher buddy...
I use holo launcher before but ADW is so good... :good: just like some user said above its like Apex launcher
here is my GALAXY Ace Plus with ADW launcher

What launcher are you using with what Rom on ICS if any?
I use ADW with CR 4.5
Ps: interesting that nobody seems to use GO Launcher so far.

Wrong forums
Stock. What's with people using other then stock launchers? I have used a bunch and they all seem to lag so much I refuse to continue using them. Just curious what the draw to them is?
sent from my Clean Rezound
360 Launcher v2.0 on CR3.7
When I get around to updating, probably Nemus on CR de 1.4
The only two smooth launchers that work for me, beyond stock of course, but let's be honest, it isn't the best.
stock on stock because I'm awesome.

Stock, I like some of the Sense widgets and it works fine for me.
Im using ADW Launcher EX. When applying themes the widgets and dock bar don't change....i get the rest of theme. I've tried everything i can think of.
Im also on Saurom rom....
Any ideas or has anyone experienced this?

I'm a fan of ADW EX. I think (working from memory) you have to now pay attention to the three drop downs under the theme you select.
Currently running Go Launcher on ICS (tried Apex and others) and kept coming back to GL... Ran it on GB, too, towards the end.

With my Epic 4G Touch (Galaxy S2) using the current leaked ICS ROMs I could clear the defaults for the TouchWiz launcher and select the stock ICS launcher. Is that possible to do with the S3?
Not yet. For more we have to use launchers like nova and apex.
