looks like badui rom

that's probably because that badui rom is based on / inspired by MIUI as far as i am aware

MiHome Launcher = stock MIUI launcher

[marcioo]

I used MiHome for a while but lag on games :/

I recommend Apex launcher with sense theme for CM9.

Is the APK for the Launcher for Baidu extractable? Like extract the apk and then install on another ROM?
And what, Baidu ROM is only 50 MB? I was allways amazed that Dazzozo's ROMs were very lightweight but only 50 MB? That is very lightweight, is it also so good as small it is?

Found some more cool launchers, havent tested them yet:

Similar to MiHome Launcher, Bazooka Launcher, very MIUI Style: https://play.google....S5iYXpvb2thIl0.

Windows 8 Style Launchers:

You have Baidu launcher 2.2.6 inside the link for Baidu Dietetic rom download here on Modaco.
Baidu is not 50Mb

Is Go Launcher Ex any slower than the rest? I like the look of it, its so simple and sober.

Yes

It offers maximum configuration at the expense of performance

Smart launcher seems quite easy on the resources for me

If you have a spare £10 and want to try the fastest , 3d and  futuristic launcher come ui engine then give (TFS shell )ago. If you can live with it, you won't be disappointed.
Not my cup of tea. J

It's weird that SPB shell 3D works so well, it's so smooth, and it's a full 3D launcher! On the other hand, other launchers like Nova and Apex never deliver the same smoothness. You may experience low framerate, or a spike of lag every so often.

I do hate SPB though, so I would never use it

[Pain_Deluxe]

On GB ADW with scrolling hack.

On Cm9.1 Apex.(HWA working here so its very smooth)

I take it I got the spelling wrong. Been a while since I used it and thought I was near. With you on how well it runs though , to fast for my liking. J

No you didn't get the spelling wrong, TSF and SPB are two different launchers.

Next launcher is another £10 3d launcher that runs well on this phone.

[Redflake]

Adw works well on ICS

Smoother than apex or nova.

[fr0do]

I can't fault apex or nova for speed or smoothness. I can even put up with trebuchet. ADW I can't configure to work for my most basic needs.

I also really like Apex, but I use the Apex Black "theme" (actually, it just makes the color highlights black instead of blue, so it isn't so much a theme as it is just a color change). Simple, very similar to the stock launcher by default, but with a lot of nice configuration options if you prefer them. YMMV.
