Nova Launcher Prime --- I've tried a bunch of them and the only one that comes remotely close is ADW, and even that's missing some key features/benefits found in Nova. Additionally, I've been using Nova on my Galaxy phone for about two years and it's been extremely stable and frequently updated. I installed Nova on my Galaxy Tab3 8.0 when I got it a few months back and it's been working great, translating well to the larger tablet format display.Good Luck!
Hoping to find something like this where one can add larger sized frequently used items. To be honest I'm not familiar with different launchers especially on tablets...
