How would I know? But I do remember something from past discussions on this list about Samsung's TouchWiz ignoring view animations in widgets that all(?) the other launchers respect. So that's one difference already.
Also, like I said, HTC's launcher in 2.3 positions widgets relative to app shortcuts like before (2.0 - 2.2), whereas other devices position them differently (compared to 2.0-2.2). That's another difference, and an important one. -- K 2012/10/1 Fred Jones <[email protected]> > As far as you know are all the manufacturer launchers based on the AOSP > Launcher2? > > > On Saturday, September 29, 2012 5:39:15 PM UTC-4, Kostya Vasilyev wrote: > >> This can be difficult considering that: >> >> - 2.3 pushed home screen icons down relative to widgets (or was it the >> other way around?), except HTC devices, where 2.3 has a lot of 2.1-2.2 >> elements... >> - 4.0 and 4.1 surrounds widgets with additional padding (when it >> remembers to, and its memory is not perfect) >> - there are replacement launchers >> - there are manufacturer-specific launchers >> >> Now you really wanted to get a close match, I'd recommend you look in >> Launcher2 sources.
