Doubt it, project has been abandoned basically. It was updated I think once in the past year, hasn't been updated since May. A full rewrite was supposedly in the works for at least a year.

Nova launcher seems to be the most popular for ICS at the moment.

Launcher pro is dead and has been for a LONG time. GOlauncher is stable and runs great its also way more customizable than LP. I've been running the stock launcher on my nexus and have been rather impressed with it. I would have to recommend Nova as well, seems to be the way to go for those owning a nexus and are looking for something different.

I used LP until I bought the Nexus and the calendar widget crashed the launcher.

Now I use go launcher. I hate having icons on my screen and the go launcher lets me launch 30 apps from the dock and another 2 by swiping the screen.

I use swipe up to launch the camera and swipe down to launch the phone.

I still use launcher pro. I found a work around for the calendar widget thing...

I haven't tried using launcher pro. I have used it on most of my previous android phones. Most of those phones have been Motorola droid with the exception of an incredible, tbolt, and charge. I ended up switching to launcher pro shortly after I started using those phones. Especially on my Motorola phones. I really cannot stand shall we say the liberties that Motorola, HTC, and Samsung like to take with UI of our phones.

At this point, I'm loving stock ICS. I like its features and how easy Google has made it to do an assortment of different things.

I'm not sure but I think you have to be rooted to use it.

There is a version of Nova you can use and dont have to be rooted I read about that on XDA.
For all the bells and whistles you have to be rooted, but you can also use a version without being rooted.
Its not in the market yet (still beta version )have to get it off XDA .

I am not using it though .I was using LPP but now I am uing the stock launcher for awhile .I have used GoLauncher on other devices as welI.

In the vid below the guy is using the GSM model but I think besides that fact nova launcher performs the same on cdma

The only bug I see in go launcher is the settings screen will periodically go black. Tapping it brings it back.
What issues were you having?

Hey I am still not rooted
I am an adw ex fan even after go launcher, because I refuse to use their products, but I am really digging the stock launcher.

Launcher Pro was the best launcher out there and then updates just stopped. It's ridiculous, especially for those of use that paid for Plus.

Yup ,I agree,when it was being updated regularly ,more features added it was the best IMO.
Then after I read it was going to get completely re done there was nothing and it seem to died.

I would love to se LPP get compiled for ICS but if not once I get tied of the stock launcher I'll probably check out Nova

 

[Charmed Juan]

Has anyjuan checked out circle launcher?

Circle launcher is for launching apps, not a launcher per se. I use it and it works fine.

I have been using adw ex from day one and it works perfectly.

 

[memphisboy]

Im another fan of Nova Launcher and it has an APK for non-rooted devices.....This Launcher is what Launcher Pro should have progressed to by now....Go on over to XDA fourms and pick up Nova, wont regret it...

Android Pro Widgets + Nova Launcher = Winning Combo

 

[gcims]

it has never worked on my galaxy nexus on Verizon since day one. Tried every trick I know.

Last Update was May 17, 2011. Safe to say Federico Carnales never updated to ICS-
