launchers on android

i just got a note (yes i know note 2 is on its way out... its likely ill take this guy back in a week and wait for 2... but thats beyond the scope of this thread)...

so launchers.

my first android experience was asus tf101. turns out its launcher is fairly unmolested, and the experience is pretty androidy. then, i dumped my iphone for a galaxy nexus, and thus set the bar pretty high for what will come beyond for me. so you can imagine my disappointment getting used to touchwiz.

i tried several alternative launchers on the store, but none of them really did it for me. so my question is, why can we not download the actual ICS launcher and install that on phones that do not include it?

(ah... an this post is from the point of view of someone who has not rooted and loaded a custom rom)
 
What android version is your Note running? Nova and Apex are the most popular for ICS.

If you are running Gingerbread, Holo is based on the ICS launcher.

You could have the default ICS launcher in a custom ICS ROM, but if you are thinking of returning the phone you don't want to start down that path :)
