What does Launchers in Android mean? And What is the Best Android Launcher?
In the newer smartphones, the graphical interface has improved in a way that might satisfy not only novices, but everyone. Well, maybe with exception of greedy pro users. Android has a high flexibility in customization. Although the default GUI on android devices are really eye-catching especially on Android 4.0+, but defaults are not what pro users may desire.
Vast majority of users, even normal users, can now easily change their Android device GUI, using Launchers. Launchers are a complicated type of theme with fundamental changes in GUI with the ability to install new themes. A Launcher could change applications icons, applications order type, applications accessibility type, setting access type, new effects while navigating between pages and many more features. Some of these launchers will also install their own applications and widgets and some are pre-installed on custom ROMs.
Launchers are installed like any other applications in Android. After a Launcher is installed, you can deactivate the previously installed Launchers from Applications settings. In the following we are introducing some famous Launchers:
