Root best launcher for tablets?

[ManOverboard]

so ive had my nook color rooted for a while, froyo on it through GoLauncher. it works well enough, about the same as launcherpro, which ive got on my phone.
the problem with these launchers, is that they leave a lot of unusable space on my screen, where i want to add other shortcuts/widgets. any ideas?

ADW is pretty good.

I've been using Zeam for about a week without a single issue. You can configure the number of screens and add more columns and rows. I've run 6x6 for the past couple days and it doesn't feel cramped. The standard 4x4 layout just feels like too much of the screen is wasted.

I have not tried any of the other launchers on my tab yet, so I can't speak to those.

I am using Zeam also on mine..

I set mine up to hide the status bar and 8X8 rows and columns. I then use the action swipe buttons as such:

Swipe down = Show status bar
Swipe up = Open App draw

This gives me a homescreen with no square app box at all and nothing but apps and widgets on it.

Works well for me and kind of differentiates it from my Droid Eris a bit..

I have tested and tested many launchers, to me Launcher Pro is the smoothest after adding widgets, icons, etc. It makes the phone/tab feel smoother overall and less lag between the home screens.

If you buy the plus version, you can stretch the widgets to be whatever size you need them to be, quite a cool feature for Tabs.

Lot's of people I hear use Zeam. Personally, I use Go Launcher EX. It does various XxY icon rows, adjustable sized widgets, etc.

And, it's free

Same here.

Think I have my icons on a 8x10 grid.

Using GO Launcher Ex, its fast and I like the options for transition animations. Not sure how I feel about the app draw tho.

I think I've settled on Launcher Pro (paid version), after trying Zeam and Go Launcher. I never cared for ADW.

Launcher Pro seems to be the most customizable, and a lot of the widgets that come with the paid version are really nice.

I'm sure now that tablets are coming out we'll start seeing launchers designed specifically with tablets in mind any time now...

Tried several launchers, and I keep going back to ADW.

Does Zeam allow you yo change the widget sizes like Go Launcher does? If it does I may take a look at it.

LPP will let you resize widgets.

Not on the fly, but when you first place a widget on your screen it asks you how many rows & columns you want it to take up. If you want to change the size you have to remove the widget & re add it at the new size.

Oh ok, thanks I remember using Zeam on my Evo a while ago, then it had an update and made it slow so I haven't gone back sinze then. I think my Nook is starting to look a little silly with all its unused screen space and Go launcher doesn't get the grad sizes very close.

another vote for zeam. and i own the LP premium version too for my evo. Zeam is really great on tablets with how many shortcuts you can fit on the dock. the only thing i think zeam really needs is to add more columns to the app drawer.

 

[colchiro]

No camera, no phone. I don't need more than 4 icons on the dock.

I DO like drag and drop to put them there tho.

 

[toomuchgame441]

Zeam with a 6x6 grid is a winner. Very nice clean layout... that plus the new phiremod v.6 puts me in heaven with the Nook.

I've been using adw that came with the new cm7 stable with the tablet tweaks. I hid the launcher entirely to max out the screen estate and use the n home button to open the app drawer.

 

[Mr_Stump]

Another vote for zeam with a 6/8 layout it works perfect.

 

[ManOverboard]

is there a way to add a poll?

 

[keving]

why can't i find Zeam launcher in the market?

where can i get it?
