What do these launchers do exactly, and what would some pros/cons be if I switched from holo to something like touchwiz?

The launcher is what lists your programs and shows you the home screen. Some add new features, some use less memory, some are just plain faster. You just need to try them and see what you like best. You might want to download a program called desk migrate to help move your layout between the different launchers.

Thanks. I'll see whats out there and give them a try.

Can't really seem to figure out what launcher my phone has(OEM) and where I can find other launchers.

What launchers and themes are compatible with Legend 5 ICS? I guess it would help to know what's been tested before I just go throwing whatever on this phone.

ETA: robm1911's "Stainless" theme for the Captivate is awesome looking. Not sure on compatibility, though.

I find the holo luncher very responsive and snappy. Got no problems at all really.

Hololauncher worked great for me, but it kept zooming in on my wallpapers which was a deal breaker for me.

Touchwhiz 4.0(in second post of L5 thread and listed as TW4) not only fixed that resolution problem, but it also offers more customizations and seems just as snappy as HL did. Definitely worth trying out, just use homeswitcher from the market to switch back and forth between launchers if you don't want to make a full commitment to just one.

The app that either you or rob recommended that backs up your settings and moves them between launchers did not work for me. It downloaded and installed but wouldn't do anything when I tried to run it. No biggie as I only run 2 screens, homescreen for apps and second screen for games. Not too much to set up.

Has anyone tested TW4.5 with L5? I guess it's just a re-work of 4.0 with some extra options thrown in.

have you tried go launcher ex?
i think it has the option whether to zoom in your image or letting it display normally on the wallpaper
