Smart Launcher

i give it up to GO LAUNCHER. I love itttttttt

I like my phone as it is...

ILauncher nko

StepTwo:
u think so

Not just me. Go online and see reviews about Touchwiz. It really slows the phone and all. Well, you wont know when you have decided not to try out others. If you do, you would so kick Touchwiz on the butt.

'Everything Me' Launcher.

Action launcher is nothing but the best. Av tried almost 10 launchers and non comes at par with action launcher.

There Are Tons Of Launchers Available For Andriod — These Are Some Of The Best


Launchers are the way Android users customize their smartphone and tablet experience. There's superficial stuff, like changing screen transitions, icons, and fonts, but the best Android launchers out there enable users to tweak the device's behavior to suit their daily usage, so long as you're willing to put the time into defining those customizations. You can make your home screens as simple or complicated as you wish, while tweaking every little detail or just taking what's given to you by default — but either way you can replace what your phone's manufacturer gives you with the install of a single app.

If you're looking for a change of pace from the out-of-box software experience on your phone, consider a new launcher. I' ve found the best ones available today, and listed all of the pros and cons of each.

1. ACTION LAUNCHER

https://www.androidcentral.com/sites/androidcentral.com/files/styles/large/public/article_images/2015/02/action-launcher-screens-best.jpg?itok=GRXnDuLu



Action Launcher is a great option that mixes things up and changes the interface paradigm from what you'd expect in a "normal" launcher. There's no regular dock and app drawer, instead replacing it with a slide-in drawer to house your apps. You also get Shutters and Covers, which give you innovative ways to launch into folders and widgets with swipes — it's all about getting to your apps and content quicker.

The newest version, Action Launcher 3.5, takes things up to a new design that fits in with Android 5.0 Lollipop, and introduces a few new features as well. There's a free version of Action Launcher for everyone to try, with a pro upgrade costing just $4.99 — and after you figure out the time-saving features you'll want to unlock it.


2. GOOGLE NOW LAUNCHER

The Google Now launcher is the obvious pick for anybody looking for a pure, clean Android experience. It comes right from Google (and is pre-installed on Nexus phones), so you can shear away anything the manufacturer has loaded up in one install. Transitions are quick and clean, and there's nothing superfluous getting between you and your apps and widgets. Beyond that, the left-most home screen becomes Google Now, so you can launch into searches, view cards populated based on the time of day, your location, and general browsing habits, and execute all sorts of hands-free "OK Google" commands. The only real downside here is that you won't be able to enjoy the level of customization available on more robust launchers — you get what Google gives you here.

Use the Google Now launcher if you're looking for high stability and a consistent Android experience. Pair it with the Google Keyboard for the full experience.



3. NOVA LAUNCHER

https://www.androidcentral.com/sites/androidcentral.com/files/styles/large/public/article_images/2015/02/nova-launcher-screens-best.jpg?itok=0FWY0CaC

Nova is a massively popular launcher that offers a whole bunch of animation options, folder views, and desktop behaviors. If you shell out $4.00 for the premium upgrade you can program gestures to perform certain actions, and fully customize unread badges including corner radius, border, background and text color. One particularly cool addition is swipe actions, which allow app icons to act as a folder with a swipe, or a standard app launch with a tap. If that's not enough, you can always explore the wide world of Nova-compatible themes in Google Play to dramatically change the look and feel of your Android device. You'll even find some Android 5.0-style options tucked away in Nova.

Nova is a highly functional launcher that can be as subtle or as loud as you like, making it completely unique if you spend the time.

4. AVIATE

https://www.guidingtech.com/assets/postimages/2014/06/favorites.gif

Aviate builds collections of your apps based on different types of activities. You can, of course, tweak those collections manually as well, and Aviate can offer suggestions to fill in collections. Aviate figures out where you are and what time of day it is, and serves up relevant collections in custom-built interfaces called Spaces so you can better handle those activities. For example, if you plug in your headphones, it offers you quick access to media controls and your favorite music apps. Hit the road, and you'll be offered shortcuts to navigation home and to the office.

Aviate excels for having a high amount of polish and requires minimal maintenance, even though you might lose out on some customizability. .

5. GO LAUNCHER EX

https://m.bestofmedia.com/sfp/images/downloads/260x260/U/B/global/38675/detail-0439702001384340514.jpg

The Go Launcher is a particularly flashy launcher with a great range of screen transitions, including 3D ones. Launcher settings are available through a readily accessible drawer that's summoned with an upward swipe from the home screen. There's a dedicated theme storefront app that lets you cruise through available Go Launcher compatible apps and punts you out to the Play Store when you're ready to download. It even has a section of dedicated custom lock screens via the Go Locker app. For $5.99 you can upgrade to Go Launcher Prime, which offers security lock for individual apps, removes ads and adds a few more bells and whistles.

It's impressive that even Go's settings menus manage to stay flashy with all of the functionality the launcher provides.


6. APEX LAUNCHER

https://www.androidcentral.com/sites/androidcentral.com/files/styles/large/public/article_images/2015/02/apex-launcher-screens-best.jpg?itok=B1f9Dklm

Apex offers a similar range of functions as Nova. You can tweak the icon tray size and scrolling, change animations, adjust home screen behaviors, and customize gesture commands for various pinches, taps, and swipes. A plug-in allows notification data to be fed to Apex from a variety of apps, and out to any Android Wear devices, too, so long as you're willing to upgrade to the pro version for $4.49. There are a wide range third party themes available in the Google Play Store which let you change the overall look of your Android experience, but as a functional core, Apex does extremely well.

Android power users will have a field day with the Apex launcher.

Latest Win 10 launcher

Please I just bought my infimix hot2 anytime I want to play GTA San Andreas... It doesn't load please any help

Man since Apus is not on dat list, d list is whack... #TeamApus

Some launchers are too hard to operate

I don't know if I changed a setting on my launcher, but the transition effect doesn't do 3d. I mean, when I swipe to the last section of my apps, it doesn't bring me to the first one, till I start swiping to the right again, it doesn't go to the left any more.

I use Camon CX limited edition, and I haven't even noticed this since I bought the phone mid last year. Lol.
