I'm unrooted on a galaxy nexus, and I haven't bothered with launchers, and don't know much about them. My primary concern is speed, especially in multitasking. I have Swipe Pad and Folder Organizer and they help with that. My other desire is aesthetics of course. I like eye candy. But functionality comes first no matter what. It seems like I can't customize icons much without a launcher, so I want to consider getting one. I'm not savvy enough to go rooted, so what launchers would be best for me?

I'm currently using Apex pro also. I like Nova a lot as well, and I keep switching back and forth just to compare, but Nova seems to be slower (takes time to redraw my widgets)... Both are definitely worth trying!

I used to use Go Launcher myself and I switched to Nova as soon I realized it was out. I like it a lot. I use it on my Transformer Prime. It's pretty flexible all the way round imho. Currently Nova, and Widget Locker are my go to apps for anything not running Sense.
