Had the Pro version of this for a few years, but always had to revert to the OS launcher because of memory usage. It's very good, but you need a higher spec phone or tablet to really use it to its full advantage.

[@JMTMarc]

Interesting insight! Did'nt know this. I also switch back and forth a lot :D

@@JMTMarc I only have low end devices, the Galaxy Tab A8 runs out of RAM very quickly, as did my Pixel 6a. The 7a isn’t as bad, but it still randomly freezes and reboots occasionally.

its the greatest launcher for foldables! i love it on my pixel fold

[@JMTMarc]

Yes! I also like this launcher a lot!

@@JMTMarc also works great on my razr fold! everything is just so much faster and at your fingertips

Hallo, ich denke, der Total Launcher ist der Beste für ein Foldable. Ich nutze ihn mit dem dafür optimierten „Trek: 25th century interface“ für mein Samsung Z Fold. Das ist extra für Falter vorbereitet. Aussen und Innen separate Homescreens. Und wunderbar zu konfigurieren. Und ein Hingucker! LG Olli

Can you please write the name in English? Or put the download link?

[@JMTMarc]

Cool! Muss ich mir auch mal ansehen. Hatte den Total Launcher mal auf meinem Galaxy, fand die Lernkurve aber etwas steil...

[@nicksallnow-smith7585]

Just to let people know that I have an Honor magic V2 and attempted to apply this launcher. The problem is that on the large inner screen no wallpaper shows at all. Just a dark grey blank.

[@JMTMarc]

Strange. I had no problems with the provided and with other wallpapers... 🤔

[@user-jq5qt3ut3n]

Still think nova launcher is way better for magic v2. I'm used to have a ton of icons and widgets and folders on the home setup. I'm currently using a 7x10 setup on v2 and it looks great both folded and unfolded. You just need to make the icons and labels smaller.

[@JMTMarc]

In general Nova is still the best Android launcher. Perhaps I need to give it another try and work on the configuration.

[@ybbb19]

There is a problem that I hope you can participate in finding solutions to. I own Magic V2, the Chinese version. Did you notice that it is not possible to activate any external launcher on the phone? Did you notice that? I tried to download the Nova launcher, but the phone does not accept any launcher. I ask you to try this problem, and if you have solutions for it, please respond to my message. Thank you.

[@JMTMarc]

On my international version I am able to use any third party launcher without a problem. I tried most of them for a video. Could have something to do with the Chinese ROM?

[@pierrezucchi5507]

Sorriso but i can not have my productivity possibilities if i chance loucher

[@JMTMarc]

Multitasking still works fine and exactly like with the original launcher.

[@ybbb19]

It actually seems that the problem is with the Chinese ROM. This is due to my bad luck. I bought the phone with a very high cough, and unfortunately now I am sad because of what I have seen of the bad ROM and the difficulty in downloading applications. The Chinese ROM has many problems. If you are or have heard of any program or ROM that modifies the Chinese ROM, please suggest it so that everyone can benefit from it. Unfortunately, we were deceived by the Chinese version phone

[@JMTMarc]

That's bad. I have no experience with Chinese ROMs but I'm sure you are able to find info on Reddit or in Forums. Perhaps TradingShenzen has some info in their homepage?

[@ybbb19]

@@JMTMarc Thank you for your interest in helping me find solutions for the Chinese ROM. I appreciate that. I will try to enter the mentioned forums, perhaps there will be solutions for that ROM that caused many problems for me and for many owners of that version.

[@carlrobinson2338]

I just skipped through this review. You had the phone closed for at least 80% of it? Niagara must be shit!

[@bugmom3879]

Suspiciously hiding the interaction of opening and closing and switching apps in this paid launcher

[@JMTMarc]

No idea what you mean!?!
