Changing up the Launchers

A few posts back, I tackled the topic of homescreens, and the fact that the number I have on my devices are  becoming lesser and lesser as time goes on. Looking through my app drawer today, I found I actually own a large selection of Launcher replacements, but I mostly find myself staying with Apex - the one I know best.

Updated Chameleon Launcher - now for phones

Launchers can breathe new life into anyone's device, and I've come to realise I don't customise as much as I did when I first got into Android (which is odd, given I now have a GNex which affords way more customisation than my Defy did). With this, I've decided I should make an attempt to set up my homescreens and shortcuts for each launcher - so as to make it easier when I feel like a change of "scenery", I suppose you could call it. I'll make sure to post screenshots of what's sure to be "aesthetically pleasing" layouts.

This is a short post, but it's more or less an official reminder to myself that I'm going to stick with this challenge, as I'm doing so with my cloud service challenge.

Current launchers I own are as follows (feel free to suggest any I should look at purchasing):


  • Action Launcher Pro
  • ADW Launcher EX
  • Apex Launcher Pro
  • Chameleon Launcher (recently updated and compatible with phones)
  • Launcher 8 (yes, curiosity killed the cat)
  • Nova Launcher Prime
  • SF Launcher Plus
  • ssLauncher the Original
