I found a pretty cool home replacement app... yup I found another one :rolleyes:
Let's get down to business
Ks Launcher is a very clean simple launcher/ Home replacement in my opinion. This is NOTHING like ADW Launcher or LauncherPro. Its not for me but I feel people that want to keep track of their "system stats" will find this very nice.

This replacement has some pretty cool features including a bar that shows: Memory, Storage (Internal), SD Card, and Battery in a very appealing format. It has many different categories of apps on the left, and the apps of the selected category on the right. See Screenshots. Also I noticed that whatever page/ app you are on, when you hit the home button that will become the faded background, again see screenshots.

Since this is a very "low-key" launcher, it uses up very little memory and as a result is extremely smooth. Another cool feature is the icon in the bottom left is a built in Home App switcher. Sadly I have not had it long enough to test the battery drain, so I'll leave it up to one of y'all :)

Just wanted to get this out to the community, because I believe with interest this replacement will be just as good as LauncherPro etc,. The developer is very eager to make improvements, so he appreciates any feedback you have.
