What launcher is everyone using?

I'm using SPB Shell 3D. Galaxy SIII.

Tried launcher 7 after using Go Launcher. Preferred Launcher 7. It was fast and responsive. Once you set up it's great and had lots of modifications and features. I found Go Launcher to be to large, size wize and it was getting too "busy" with feature instead of perfecting what it should do which is launch apps. Launcher 7, which is windows 7.x like is simple and everthing is right there where you can get at it easily.

Ok that's a cool feature. I see how it can be useful especially once notification bar has been cleared. I wouldn't care to use it but it's cool. I still think Go Launcher gives me more functionality than Nova does and the updates just keep coming!

the Go Launcher Notification plug-in puts the number of missed calls, txts and emails on the icons. its not global but those three are the main ones

Still wondering why nova is the only launcher that doesn't have the dreaded black menu bar at the bottom!, I've spent 2 days trying launchers and they ask have it with no way to get rid of it, anyone else having this problem?

I really liked go launcher on gb phone, however I love ics and how it shows widgets in the app drawer so you know what said item looks like without placing it on the screen.....

That being said, go launcher on top of ics feels like I'm back on gb roms, no thanks.

As far as the launcher I'm using, nova prime and touch wiz, I really like tw this time around, only thing I don't like I'd is ram hungry and redraws too much

I guess its my bad due to the fact that i posted in the S3 thread, you must not have a menu bar!

yeah bein able to see widgets in app drawer would make it so much easier to uninstall them. i probably have hundreds that i dont use. is there any un-installer app that will show you all youre widgets in one list and let u check boxes for each one u wana uninstall?

i like both nova and apex but chose apex for a small (maybe dumb) thing in the app drawer when scrolling it eventually goes into widgets but in nova u have to press it and it only give you a list..... i know i know its just the small little things

My Nova has Widgets in the App Drawer too

You have to be rooted to have widgets in the app draws with nova.

I'm not rooted, though could be a Jelly Bean thing...I'm using a stock GNex with 4.1.1.

Launcher 7 for me!! I love the formly know as Metro UI design while still maintaining all the flexibility of Android.

 

[spacecasespiff]

Yes. If you have jb then you don't need to be rooted. Its just for ics that you need to be rooted.

Ya, the latest BETA of Nova is giving me problems lately so I've switched back to Launcher7 as well...I miss global Badge Notifications but I have them on WidgetLocker so they'll do for now til Nova gets fixed.
I do like the WP7 UI.

For people using nova launcher for messages do you still get the number notification on the bottom like 1 new message on the little message app? I can't get it to show up I'm not sure if it's a setting or not.

Nova Prime. The sole function that I need that really sets it apart is pressing the home button (instead of holding it down) to see recent apps. That's my workaround for the lack of a dedicated recent apps button which really bothers me.
