Default [App] Holo Launcher Beta 6 (Real ICS Launcher for Android 2.2+)

http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1636393

This is easily the most fully featured and accurate ICS Lauchers released for non-ICS versions of Android to date. Very customizable too.

I've only found two issues with it so far

Desktop Vizualizer will not create custom icons
PhotoContact widget does not work

Yeah I found it while digging around xda. Very good and accurate. Only problem is that it seems kind of laggy, at least compared to go launcher.

It gets better as the cache is built up.

Agreed. My only gripe about it is not being able to hide the dock. But I like being able to open the notification bar by a simple swipe down anywhere on the screen.

Yeah man, had to let the madness die down or I was gonna get myself banned. Not really much going on anyway, except for the new Bullet rom.....which im dying to try out but gotta have the in-call dialer issue fixed first. Other than that, and the Kexec bypass, pretty quiet on the A2 front :/ I'm a flashaholic so im having withdrawls, gonna get an HTC One X or Samsung Galaxy S III here within the next month or two, plenty of dev for them!

I am partial to Go launcher myself. Holo is growing on me though. Only things I find wanting are gestures for doc apps (folders are an ok substitute) and ability to scroll vertically in app drawer. It is very snappy and customizable.

First, I I hope you will still be involved in our Atrix forum. I know we have had our differences but I've always respected your insight and tastes.
Secondly, I love this launcher, again I'm amazed at how similar our tastes are.
