I'm looking for a launcher essentially stock ICS but lets you tweak a few things. Such as removing the google search bar on a few screens (not all) or better yet change it's location, and allow the screens to loop.
I have tried a few launchers from the market that are "ICS style" but no where near as nice.

Any suggestions?

Nova Launcher. See Droid Life for the download. It lets you long press on a blank area of a home page to add shortcuts and has no mandatory Google search bar.

I just switched to go launcher from launcher pro.
I hate having icons on my screens. Go launcher allows you to launch 30 apps from the dock.

I hate that ICS removed the double tap the home button to start another task, but go launcher allows you to launch 2 different apps by swiping the home screen up or down. Since the Nexus doesn't have a camera button I swipe the home screen up to start my camera.

Thanks for the responces.

I tried ADW, not a fan.

I am trying nova, I think with a few updates it will be great.
No looping and completely removes the search bar, the search widget is not as nice/unobtrusive... I wonder if someone has cloned it.

Holo launcher is the best ics launcher out there. It's not well known but it should be. Works great

You can still double tap the home button to open an app. Settings->Accessibility... at the very bottom.

Edit: Oops, that may be only on the Razr ICS.
