The Best Launcher

No, though you lose the widgets-in-the-app-drawer view. If you root, you can place the .apk file into the /system folder and retain that ability
 
Recently moved to Nova after some recent updates. It has improved tremendously over the weeks. I'm really enjoying all the options. Seems pretty darn solid so far too.

Yeah, I don't see an option in Nova to scroll infinitely. I also only need 3 screens.

Sorry, forgot to mention that part. It won't let you continuously scroll, just gives you the option of 3 docks. I still love it tho. Used GO on my TBolt religiously, but I like the simplicity of Nova on the Nex.

I have 3 folders on one of my screens and they are working perfectly. Are you using the latest version, beta10?
 
Bah i deleted it and went back to stock

To answer dread, i use beweather its stock weather animation with graziano font
 
One last question.

I have read about all the very nice things Nova does, but is there anything the stock ICS launcher does that Nova can't?
 
Seems faster to me as well. Especially like the cube scrolling for screens and app/widget list. For some reason though, my battery seems to be draining much faster with this beta 10 update. Could just be coincidence.
And Nova is based off of the stock launcher, so it does everything that stock does, and then some.
 
On Nova how do you access widgets if they're not in the App Drawer on non-rooted devices?
 
I'd tried Nova before I rooted and it was alright. But I liked the widgets in the app drawer and didn't wanna give that up. Since then I've rooted and installed Nova in the system folder. Now I've switched fully over to Nova. I really dig that it's basically the same as stock ICS launcher, but with some tweaks. It's exactly what I wanted, since I've really been digging the ICS launcher style.

They have a lot of features in the works, like looping (continuous scrolling), and hiding apps in the drawer, so it's only bound to get better from here.

When I long-press the home screen on stock I get a "Select Wallpaper from" with a bunch of options, but no Widget option.

Are you sure you're using Nova when you're doing this? Did you set it as the default launcher? If you accidentally went back to the stock launcher, the long press won't work. If you are in Nova, I would try rebooting the phone and see if it works then.

I believe he was pointing out that the long press doesn't give the same options on stock as it does on Nova.. since one of the posts he quoted said it did.
