Is anyone using a Launcher?

[mogelijk]

I'm thinking I want a more traditional Android home page, so I will likely use Apex launcher. I looked at Nova and Go Launcher HD and, at least for the moment, seem to prefer Apex on my Nook. I'm wondering if anyone else is using a launcher and, if so, which one and why?

I am using Apex. I tried Go Launcher but for some reason, I just prefer Apex, the design just seems cleaner and simpler to me.

I recently switched over to the N2A SD card on my Nook HD+ which uses the cyanogenmod version of Android 2.1.2 jellybean, and I highly recommend it if you want a traditional Android experience; however before I did that I removed the carousel from the home page, and installed live wallpaper, and it closely resembled the look of one of my other pure Android tablets. I could have lived with that if I had too. I've used apex and nova and like them both. I put apex on a Kindle Fire HD 8.9 and like it 100% better than stock Amazon , ugh!

i'm using ADW EX launcher. it's smooth and very customizable. i bought the paid version several years ago because i really enjoyed it. but the free one has some great features that get you used to it. i used it for a while before i rooted the nook and put CM 10.2 on it. it doesn't even require root to modify the stock rom. so you can still have the actual stock rom and have the android experience.

I use Buzz. I have a very untraditional layout. I used Photoshop to make icons that look like panels from a comic. So my home screen looks like a page from a comic book. No widgets, just icons for books, comics, apps, web, etc...

I like mine simple and use nova prime on mine.....can't stand that carousel.

I use Nova but I still use the stock launcher sometimes too. I also have an N2A sd card that I use to run full android on my Nook HD+. But I mainly need it for apps that don't work with the Nook stock OS or are blocked from installing by B&N. For example, I have a MLB.tv account so I'll use the MLB At Bat app to watch games using the N2A sd card. Plus I use the TV Portal app occasionally to watch movies that way too.
