hey GuYs,
I have modded the original holo launcher because some of the features were missing.
This customized version is based on the build v1.0.1.
The features that are added in this customized version are:-
1.'ALL' TAB changed to 'APPS' TAB like in the stock ICS Launcher and other ICS Launchers.
2.Added Original Google Play Store Icon instead of the one that came with the original holo launcher(its the play store icon in the top right corner)

See the Difference.

Before:-


After:-


This Modded launcher needs root to use.
download the apk from attachments and then open root explorer and then go to /system/app and copy paste the apk file there and after pasting it set the permissions to rw-- r-- r-- and reboot.
after reboot enjoy the launcher.
:D

Credits:-
Mobint for the Holo launcher.
Me :D for the Play Store Icon.
Kong for the 'APPS' TAB.
How is it possible to put the widgets there too?

Good Question!

That's a good question.
I had asked the Holo launcher's Developer Mobint about the Widgets under the Widgets tab but he said that android did not have Widgets API before 3.0 honeycomb so that's why he said that the Widgets adding is an impossible task.
If You want you can try the Phoenix launcher which has a Widgets tab but that launcher also requires root.
:D

That's really strange.
I don't think it should happen.
it did not happen with anyone else who used this launcher.
do one thing.
delete the launcher from /system/app and then reboot and after reboot again put the launcher in /system/app and set permission to rw-- r- r- .
after that reboot once again and then select the Holo launcher and then check if the problem has gone.
