What is your favourite Android launcher?

[@Notoriouswelsh_]

What launcher are you using?

[@Real909Demon]

Square home

[@privatenexus5764]

Lightening Launcher. Its now old but still puts all you showed to shame. a HUGE learning curve, and the default setup on install really sux. But once you learn and custiomize, I have yet to find anything close. It Rotates, transparencies, resizes (X & Y can be different, and then maybe rotated) can add code, folders in folders, and widgets within folders etc etc etc If you can think it, it can do it.I have used it since gingerbread and have never found anything that even comes close. But be prepared, you have to commit the time.

[@davidmmuench]

Nova Prime. I've been using it for years & it's just what I'm used to.

[@kennethstocks3096]

Nova beta

[@lisasmith-cusaac8004]

Thanks so much for this video , it is exactly what I was looking for and needed, new android user , needed a break from my iPhone

Great video. Some decent stuff in here. Thanks!

@@stevenmunden3875 Yes. The Total Launcher stuff (the video image).

[@72Bohica]

Excellent detailed rundown. Thank you.

[@sillymilly3137]

not sure which one like so going try a few of them and see which one looks nice

[@daliso8o8]

AIO launcher has been my go to for a frw years now....the customisation is top notch

[@pedromarrero]

Microsoft launcher is the one me and my wife use is very customizable, it's incredible. 😊

[@barrelracer318]

I do have a Sammy phone and use OneUI. My favorite thing about it, how clean of a UI it is by default. Also mixing the Goodlock suite of apps to it as well gives you quite a bit more to be able to mod and customize. Finally have an effective way of increasing the lockscreen timout option. Just would be nice if Samsung would fix the Flow app.

[@alfredooliva5175]

oh God your THAT guy....Lame ass

[@evacody1249]

Wish they would put more of what you can use on the phones on the tablets.

[@barrelracer318]

@@evacody1249 yeah. And what is there, sometimes, isn't formatted to work on the tablet properly...

I used Total and Smart Launcher already but I prefer Nova. 😎👍💯

Can you please share the total launcher skin that was given to you that you're running right now on your phone please? Thank you!

amz video, btw I've always used One Ui cause i have a samsung but my favourite is microsofost for the AI search

i still think no launcher can compare with Nova launcher is the best for me with all my phones

Same here!

I have a question; Do nova really freeze?

[@soulreaper1981]

@@1998_hadra not for me

[@LoneStarNomads]

Yeah I've tried several but keep switching back to Nova.

[@MySkilletfan]

Whenever they actually support folding phones better ill go back

[@RickyD1968]

Very cool but where did you download skins for total launcher ???

[@jaywest885]

I've been a Nova Prime user for several years. Regardless of the number of launchers that have come out since, Nova has stayed on top for the amount of customization options you get, especially for the price. I don't see myself switching any time soon.

[@wrightbytes]

What was that futuristic skin called or where did you get it. It's so cool

[@wontsteal]

My measuring stick for Android launchers is a weird one but it works for me. That measure is: Does the launcher have the ability to nest folders? Can I put a folder full of app icons inside of another folder? The only launcher I've found that can do this is Nova launcher. It seems weird that in 2024 we can't put folders in folders. I don't do a bunch of customizations anymore but what I do use, Nova has. I always look at other launchers to see if they stack up yet but sadly they don't. Runners up: Glextor app manager. It can be used with any launcher as its app drawer and it has folders in folders. The only other app I've found is called "folder in folder". Good luck out there!

[@Chesemiser]

Yeah I had a similar kind of measuring stick, can I categorize my app drawer, lead me to using LukeLauncher, has it's issues but I have yet to find any others that can compare to it's app drawer, there a few, like Fast Draw, Ox Shell and Neo Launcher but none of them seem to have been able to quite scratch that itch for me quite like it does.

[@fredbuchanan2560]

What is the skin name you applied to Total Launcher?

[@okartwork6176]

Wow what for nice Review, thx

[@Cincuenton]

What launcher youre using on your phone ? you show it at the begining of the video saying react ?

[@starboy7151]

honestly bruh i will say you make such good vids we can all watch and enjoy a for all these times or years i been seeing aio launcher and believed it was just a weird Looking Launcher but you taught me with this video that dont judge a book by its cover cuz appearance isnt everything action Launcher i will try it aswel it Looks cool thank you plz try making best apps Like 5 apps per vid to keep it in a way in which it will be easy to get more for each week in a month

[@WhatGear]

That's a good idea! Thanks 😊

[@TravellerRDS]

Related to the iOS-like launcher - there is an app that emulates the dynamic island, called Dynamic Spot. I have an Oneplus Nord 2, using its stock UI because it works perfectly for me, and I added this Dynamic Spot because it can replace the upper notification (for apps I want to) in a fun way. Cheers!

[@WhatGear]

That sounds awesome! I have to look into that

[@davidchilds1443]

Where do you download it from?

[@AM-dn1iq]

Play store

[@reubenpx1809]

I agree... I paid for the pro of this as well... The smoothness and customizability is amazing. I love how minimal it is.

[@muhiburrahmaneducationhome3744]

I rate top 3 launchers apps as Action Launcher, Microsoft Launcher and Nova Launcher.

[@kennethstocks3096]

KZbin I’ve been using Nova beta on all of my android devices for years and it’s good

[@jamiekulesa6592]

My launcher has to have where it's easy to add apps to a folder because I have a lot and I can name the folders. This is really the only must

[@asan1050]

WhatGear Thank you for posting.

[@achyut333]

Alpha Launcher attracts me the most ❤ among them

[@a1000island]

I never used any stock launcher until hyper os as it's pretty darn clean My go to launchers are niagra and square home

[@WhatGear]

I’ll have to look into hyper OS

[@lavonnelogan3518]

can you do a video on how to customize the home screen like yours this layout is nice

[@adithyaherath2000]

Nova launcher has more options than other launchers. Good stuff mate✌️

[@osviajantes0]

Total Launcher is the most customizable ❤️

[@jjesso94]

Nova is the best!

[@xeviusUsagi]

does alpha Hybrid launcher give you ads at all time? like you turn on your phone, search for an app and an add stops you? or only during customization?

[@0w0.727]

I used lynx launcher 3 years ago. Didn't know that it has a pro version now.

[@journeyman6752]

I've using Nova for probs 5 years. I just got a S23 Ultra used it for a few days with the samsong UI but and going back to Nova!! If I try another launcher it'll be Microsoft. When it's free, "you" are the product. Anywhoo..

[@reubenpx1809]

I have the smart launcher premium... I bought it coz of the music widget primarily but amazed by how light and supportive it is now. I'd love to try the other launchers too in this list.

[@sillysausage72]

Use nova for years now. I do miss TSF SHELL though.

[@snehalquest]

I like Nova launcher, Microsoft launcher, Smart launcher and O launcher.

[@muhiburrahmaneducationhome3744]

Nova Launcher and Microsoft Launcher is always good alternative to Android default launcher.

[@dutch_rc]

Which Android skins supports Nova Launcher navigation gestures?

[@Wsmith247]

If you are getting older like me Square Home is great, I don't want to have to put my readers on to see my phone and with square home you can make the tiles huge. Spend some time with it and make it look like Windows10 mobile. I miss Windows phone.

You have two tabs, one for the feed "that you can also customize to see your interests" and you have a widgets tab which is also very customizable and scrolls down ? You should have done your homework cause you missed alot on the Microsoft launcher even though it is one of your "favorites"...
