I used Go Launcher to get the look of ICS. I have ICS now so I'm probably going to stay stock now that its legit.

stock was good, but I could not theme it or have my gestures set up. Hence, Apex.

I like Apex but still like the widgets with transparent themes that you can use with Go. Especially the calendar.

Since I'm starting stock ics for now. I'm now using go sms, with the ics theme it comes with it looks way better than the stock texting app

The things I like about go launcher:
-transparent dock
-customisable app icons
-numerous themes
-numerous options for graphics
-numerous options for app drawer set up

The only thing I don't like about stock:
-I hate the icons. They are ugly.

I am going to try out Apex. That seems very similar to Go.

Now that ICS is rolling out and many others have already had it, I'm curious to know what home launcher they will be using. I've been using GO Launcher for a LONG time. I'm thinking that I don't want to miss out on any of the Ice Creamy Goodness this time around but I never did like the original Launcher on my devices. (Boring)

So I want to dedicate this thread to the best home replacements for ICS...
I tried the "generic" ICS one and other ICS-specific ones like Nova. But I kept coming back to GoLauncher. It simply has the most options and seems to be the smoothest UI.

The thing I like most about GoLauncher are the dock gestures. It doubles your dock and you can still add 2 more docks if you need them.

Same on Apex Pro, both up and down, so it triples your dock. But you also have home screen gestures: double tap, single finger up and down, and double finger up and down. Minimalist home screen dream.:)

I kept Go Launcher but it seems laggy so I'm trying stock but I've heard go things about Apex. I also stopped widget locker.
