I like ICE CREAM SANDWICH because it is sooooo cool and tasty! The "other kids" are way behind in customization and speed, and are all JEALOUS!! Apex Launcher takes it all to the next level, with complete control over your personal layout. From folder designs to home screens to dock settings, I get it how I want it. And after all, isn't that what ANDROID is all about!?!??

I was skeptical on ICS when I first saw it while I still had my Razr, didn't think it would be all that. But after some amazing developers started making ICS based ROM's for the Razr, I started to love it, which is what fueled me to get a GNex, and I have yet to look back. I am by far more than happy with the ICS builds, and all of the amazing developers of this community that make it even better!

Apex Launcher... I have been using Apex since the first ICS based ROM's were made for the Razr. First ICS based ROM I used on it was by Th3ory, which included Apex, and I have used that as my default Launcher ever since. There is not much that the stock launcher doesn't do for the normal every-day user, but Apex just brings all of those extra features you could want, and then even more. In my own opinion, Apex Launcher is the best launcher for ICS so far, more may come along, but it will be hard to beat Apex, IMHO.

I like ICS because you can use Apex Launcher on it. Simple as that.

Well what can I say about ICS, it's just wonderful! Came from the Droid X with Gingerbread and can totally see an improvement on it. It's stable, quick and pleasing to the eye and thats all that really matters to me.

As for the Apex Launcher, there are just too many good things to say about it! I've tried plenty of other Launchers (Nova, GoLauncher, LauncherPro, ADW Launcher, Lightning Launcher...) with the ICS and keep coming back to Apex. The customization that I get from it is great, and it just seems to work way better than all the others. Apex Launcher has been truly reliable for me I've never had a Force Close occur on Apex. Also I like how if you're not familiar with setting up the ADB to allow to add widgets from drawer Apex has the "Root Helper" to help us that aren't so knowledgeable in that field. All in all Apex is one of if not the Best Launchers out there and I have definitely recommended it to all my Android ICS friends.

What I like about ICS is that it has a lot of improvements and as I like taking pictures, panorama mode is nice! Face unlock is amazing too, just so nobody can get into my devices

I like ICS tasks feature, killing off apps is a breeze. web browser is great with the quick controls. Apex is the launcher I use always ROM to ROM. The greatest feature for me is the backup/restore makes setting up my screens a breeze and eases the pain between flashes, without that I would sit on one ROM much longer.

Tappin on the go!

How is it that I've read every posting on this forum and today is the first time I've ever posted...pardon my lurking!

I love the look and feel of ICS. I was an early Android user, and I fell in love with it (and my OG). I progressed to a Droid X then to the GNex. There were so many thinks in previous Android versions that I would make little notes on how to improve - and almost all of them showed up in ICS.

My GNex is far from perfect and yeah, it gives me headaches once in a while, but when I use this phone I know it's mine (unlike the iPhone I use for work which looks and feels the same as every other iPhone out there). It's ICS that has given me the ability to make my phone MINE and mine alone. Nobody's phone looks, acts or behaves like mine!
