I don't believe this belongs in development.

Agreed. I think the right one is "Themes and Apps"
I use 'launcher pro'.

I have to give ADW love... Have used all. Go Launcher was my favorite until I got ADW.. Launcher Pro is nice as well, but ADW is all-around better for my needs. I would suggest trying all three with Home Switcher and see which one you like the best.
Adwex all the way. By far the best with the most options

Here is what I've found with launchers
Most graphic effects and home screen customization: Regina Launcher
Lightest most efficient most customizable options : Launcher Pro and/or ADW
Best themed launcher: Launcher7
other good launchers: Sony Xperia Arc Launcher ($1.99), honeycomb launcher (a lot of bugs but very nice otherwise), and SPB Shell 3D Launcher ($14.99, I think).
Hope this helps I have personally tested all of these launcher and currently have all but the SPB launcher installed

I don't know if they've fixed it yet, but I found that Go Launcher was causing my internal sdcard to get wiped at least daily. As soon as I uninstalled it, the wiping stopped.
I moved to LauncherPro and haven't looked back since.
Im a fan of go launcher ex but now I Luke the stock launcher in alien rom

I find all are laggy at least on some occasions, which is slightly disappointing considering the hardware.

I've never had that happen with either Go Launcher or LauncherPro - however, I also don't use much in the way of widgets. If someone uses a lot of them, there may be no way around some occasional lag, no matter what launcher you use.
I'm currently using Go Launcher. It's running more stable than ADW for me.
I've already tried adw ex, go HD, go ex, apex, nova prime, lightninglauncher, keys, spb, winphone7, Regina pro, tsf, sslauncher, zeam, nemus, fullscreen, launcherpro, and claystone.
I guess I'm OCD...

I have to say my personal favorite is Apex. It gives all of the features needed, in a nice clean package!
I personally tried Go Launcher, but found it to be too obtrusive and it lacked the polish that I was wanting.
I will include a link that needs to be fixed for the time being, as I still am a "new" user :/

Are there anymore left to try? Lol. I'd wait until that chameleon launcher comes out

I'm not sure what recommendations you're looking for, as you've tried 10+ launchers, including all of the popular ones. IMO, Apex and Nova work best with the TFP. They also have been built from the stock ICS launcher with added functionality. Personally, I use Apex and love it. I use a custom grid size that works well in landscape, as well as portrait without cutting off any of my apps or widgets. I'd say give one of those two launchers another shot.

From what I've read about it it isn't a launcher. Instead it will be built into phones/tablets kind of like sense on htc stuff. Hopefully someone finds a way to turn it into a launcher or modifies it to run on the prime, but it may be awhile before any of that happens.

Stick with ADWex and setup a HUBs interface. That will keep you busy a while.

The best GO Launcher HD
Apex is the best launcher i've got on my Prime. To phone I recomend GO Launcher Ex
Using SPB shell 3d. Awesome.
My prime in not near by. I will post screen shots when it is.
Used SPB shell 3d on my phone and was shocked when it looked better on my tablet.
Stack and scrollable widgets strangely work on the tablet and not on the phone!!!!
my favourite
my favourite launcher is the touchwiz ux launcher from the galaxy tab 10.1 although you got to have root to use it with widgets its realy nice and almost no lag
Hello , i curious which launcher you are using if any ? and why ...
I tried Apex , Go HD .. I think apex its better
But stock is also nice

ADW Launcher Ex...for true customisation no other launcher even comes close! I purchased this app while back and then abandoned it but later when time came to customise my tablet, most of the setups I came across recommended using ADW. I went back to it and gosh am running the MetroUI setup currently and its awesome!
+ 1 for ADW EX
Apex launcher works great on my prime!
Lol i'm still running stock launcher .So far so good with it.

I've actually tried most all of them; Go Luncher Ex, Apex Launcher, ADWLauncher Ex, Go Launcher HD for Pad, and Nova Launcher.
I'm using Nova Launcher now. The one thing Nova Launcher does is allow me to use the entire screen. It seems that all the other launchers have very large margins on the left and right. With Nova Launcher, I can place icons and widgets right up to the edge for the screen.
Don't seem to be able to do that with the other launchers. Nova Launcher has a margin control setting.
+1 for ADW Launcher EX.
I use it for the customization.
Using HUBS on my Prime at the moment, and I love it!
This probably ought to be in the Themes and Apps forum, but I have been using Go HD for a few weeks, and I really dig it. It does glitch out every once in a while, but other than that, it has been great.

Which soda is best for killing my thirst? It's a matter of opinion!
I really like Nova Launcher. It is like what stock would be with more options. You can add rows and columns to the desktop and the drawer, resize widgets, and customize docks with scrolling and hiding, if you use them.
And Coke is the best
I used to use adw ex on tf101 with honeycomb, but adw ex doesn't work well with ics (scrolling Widgets problems) .
Now using nova and its quite nice..
Unfortunally less confifuration options and cannot resize all widgets....

+1 for ADW Launcher EX.
Anyone have the apk for ADW, think I should give it a shot? It says it's not compatible with the Prime in the Play Store.
I am on Eclipse 2.2 but am interested in upgrading to an ICS rom and see that they use different launchers. I have bought launcher pro plus and ADW EX, but am actually still using the "dead" launcher pro because it is still faster than ADW. I am very anal about speed and lag. Hopefully both ICS launchers are fast and I don't have to worry about performance? what are your thoughts on the ICS launchers? Performances and speed is my number one concern, and I am willing to pay. Thank you.

Also +1. Dunno why but always had some weird issues with Nova while Apex is indeed running smooth and have better options for me. I recommand you to go for Apex, wont be disappointed imo.
Apex all the way...its clean,simple and user friendly.
Apex is the best i won't change it ever
Apex all the way
They both have free versions in the play store. Try them both out and use the one to your liking. I am partial to Nova, myself.
try both, they both have free version on the market, for me nova is the choice...
Since I have ICS, I'm using Apex free launcher; It's very smooth and the best I've tried. When you try it, you'll hate other launchers.
Since Apex fixed the FC's a while ago I am very happy with it. All the settings and features available even in the free version are awesome. Swiping down to expand notifications is my favourite.
I like Nova
Nova for me. I started using it for the dock swiping when the Galaxy Nexus first came out. Now it looks like the Pro version of Apex has the same feature. Honestly, they are verging on the exact same feature set. Someone should put together a comparison chart.
I prefer Apex because the free version allows hiding of apps in the app drawer.

Thanks for all the input guys. Anymore thoughts on the speed and performance of both?
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using XDA Premium App
I was using Nova, but I switched to Apex as Nova was quite slow on my Desire. Apex is much smoother for me. They have pretty much the same features (I haven't noticed much difference although I haven't looked that far into either) I would give both a try and see which works best for you
Nova hands down, my friend is currently using it and I have to say its one of the best ICS launchers out there.
I'm quite impressed with Nova, but it might be that you need a fast processor to handle it, because it's incredibly smooth and responsive on my Galaxy Note.
I've tested them both, and Nova uses a lot more RAM resouces, so if you have an older phone definately Apex, and i think Apex is better in features too.
Hello mates,
So just as the title states what is the best home launcher to you guys? Still tryna find the perfect setup. I've tried:
Nova
Espier Launcher
Vire Launcher
Launcher 7
Stock Touchwiz
Buzz
I cannot find one I like most.
Any ideas ?

What are you looking for in a launcher?
My favorites are TSF shell and Next, of course their $17 each though.
I've always used Apex and love it. Fast quick and reliable, lots of customization but nothing truly fancy or out of the ordinary like some launchers

My two faves are Next3D and Nova. I bought Next3D when they had a 50% off sale about 8 months ago, but I've been using Nova more and more because...it just works great. No redraws, small memory foot print. I made the mistake and bought SPB Shell 3D back in June '12, and it's pretty much abandonware ($15 bucks). Yes, I could get the Yandex Shell for free which is a direct clone of it, but it has too many limitation, it's a memory and battery hog and redraws way too often.

Something different! Tsf shell is ehhhhh. Lol.
Haven't tried next. I can assume its bloated? (Go Dev team)
Buzz has diff wallpapers for each page. That's cool I guess.

well tsf shell is what I would consider the most "different" but definitely not everyone's cup of tea.
since its expensive, next is not bloated like GO thank god (HATE go lol) but it does take some tweaking to make it look nice (I like a clean holo-ish theme), fortunately because it is from the go dev team, it has a lot of theming support.
I would describe it as having all the customibility features apex or nova have but with the coolest animations and widgets I've personally seen.
best thing I can tell you is to go on YouTube and look at launcher reviews before you go spending money on anything.
