[Q] Aside from ADW, a launcher with "alternate" dockbar?

---

I'd been a big fan of ADW Launcher EX for a long time.

It seems the development has died unfortunately though.

My favorite feature was the ability to quickly switch between 2 dockbars. One had the standard 4 + app drawer button, and the other was a scrollable dock which effectively could contain many more.

This was great for phones (not really needed in tablets) where I needed 6-8 quick access apps.

The very last versions of ADW completely removed this feature, inexplicably. I'm running the version that last had this feature, which runs okay, but was hoping for more ICS features.

I cannot find any currently maintained Launcher that also has this feature (Apex and Nova Launchers don't to my knowledge). Many/most have scrollable dockbars, but no quick-switch alternate ones.

Anyone know of any?

I know Zeam Launcher (free from the market) has scrollable dock, but not sure what you mean with alternating docks.

Zeam's a known entity. Nice and quick. But no alternate dockbar.

The dockbars can be switched with a button press, or gesture. I linked mine to home. Press home while in launcher-->5 other apps pop up as a dockbar. Press home again-->back to the original 4+app drawer button. Repeat.

Ah,never knew this was in the old ADW Launcher! I use CircleLauncher to popup more apps from my home. But can't use hardware button.

I tried out TSF shell briefly, still needs some development but was a nice change from the norm

Has all apps on the main home screen with some great looking scrolling animations
