[Q] Which launcher for Kindle Fire ICS?

---

As the 3.0 kernel gets better and better everyday, I can't hold myself to switch to ICS but I'm really undecided about which launcher suits best for a ICS loaded Kindle Fire.

I narrowed down my choices to the following 4:

Nova
Apex
Trebuchet
Go Launcher HD

So which do you think is the most preferable in terms of customization options and tablet specific features?

Well.. I like Apex, lots of customization, snappy, stable..

Or maybe I'm just used to it.

Go Launcher HD has the most features, but lots of lag compared to Apex.

I would choose Apex

Go Lancher HD

I have been using the Go Launcher HD, mostly because it is what I am used to using (i.e. Go Launcher Ex.) The HD launcher came installed with the first ROM I used, and since it was familiar, I tried it out for a bit, but it is no where near as customizable as the Ex flavor. I then switched back to the Ex flavor, but found it less suited to the Tablet Form Factor than its HD cousin. I then tried both the Apex and Nova launchers, but ultimately went back to Go Launcher HD because of my previous experience with Ex. Since I have been using HD, they have been adding customizability but it is no where near Ex.

IMHO therefore, HD familiar if previous Ex user, Apex or Nova for customizability.

Thanks for listening,

Sincerely,

William

I use Apex launcher. It has more features than Nova and Trebuchet and personally looks better than Go Launcher HD. It really depends on what you want though. Do you want lots of features? Yes? Then go with Go Launcher. No? Then go with Apex.

I want full customization from widget sizes to gestures and if I'm highly satisfied with it, I'm also ready to buy the premium versions.

Is your kindle rooted? Currently i am using the Hellfire ICS rom which comes stock with Nova and Tresbuchet. Very stable,lightweight system which i am very pleased with. I am also using the Hackers keyboard which is customisable. All the info i got was from watching tutorials on you tube and many thanks to XDA for the links they provide.

Kindle Fire launcher on ICS?

---

Speaking of launchers, is it possible to run (or sideload) the original Kindle Fire launcher on ICS?

I've got the hard part done: my Fire is running Android 4.0.4 (CM9 - gedeROM v1.25, with the Apex launcher). All is good, but I want to add Amazon's Kindle Fire launcher as an option (ok, call me perverse!)

I'm guessing that the answer is "no", likely because the fire launcher was written specifically for Android 2.3. But perhaps this is wrong, and one of you can illuminate me on how to do this? Thanks!

I have Apex to be the fastest and with good customization options.
