Help Launchers for Honeycomb

Has anyone installed a launcher (GO Launcher, etc.) on their 10.1 successfully?
 
Launcher pro works but when i went back HC i realized that it's perfectly designed for tablets. I just am in love with my pro widgets. The closest thing I've found is wizz widgets.
 
I loaded ADW Launcher EX last night and works perfect. Downloaded themes and widgets and am finally able to resize everything. The stock launcher is cool but having another launcher gives your desktop flare.

I downloaded 4Share from the market. It is a place to download some apps for free. Like the old shareware.

If they are normally paid apps, then that is stealing. It is against the law and unethical. These are typically not large corporations releasing these apps. They are everyday people like you and I looking to make a few extra bucks. Do the right thing and pay them for their efforts. Also, discussing how to pirate apps is against the rules of this website, so I recommend that it is not done. The moderators here are extremely efficient and will likely find it.
 
I tried Go Launcher but it wouldn't let me move widgets away from the centre of the screen, which is a bit of a pain. Perhaps I'm not looking at the right setting?

Anyway, lots of people seem to like LauncherPro. Still a good choice, all these months later?

Also, I'd like the full-size picture as wallpaper and not have to cut out the bit in the middle. Any advice?
 
Been using ADW EX for a couple of months and was using it on my Fascinate, But now that I've switched to a Galaxy Nexus, I'm sticking with the ICS launcher and loving it. Wonder if the same thing will happen with my Tab?
 
As of v3.1.10, I can no longer recommend Zeam for use on Honeycomb. On my GTab 10.1 at least, it loaded okay but had problems. It would intermittently freeze up when returning to the home screen, or sometimes even freeze homescreen widgets (e.g., Gallery slideshow). After ~ 10 seconds, it would resume and act normally for awhile. Fortunately, I had a backup of v3.1.9, and reverted to it. Now everything works fine once again. So, if you want to try Zeam, use versions 3.1.7 thru 3.1.9 (the only ones I have experience with... earlier versions may also work). I should add that 3.1.10 is not a total bummer, it just doesn't work well on my tablet. I have it installed on my phone though and it's fine.

I also tried Go Launcher EX, which is what started this thread long ago. It has a lot going for it, but in the end, I uninstalled it in favor of Zeam's responsiveness and speed.
 
i have used go launcher, zeam, adw ex and have now moved on to SPB shell 3D (its $15). so far SPB i the only one that i like because you can flip it landscape or portrait and not have the weird widget resize issues. i like ADW the best except in portrait it all looks squeezed.
