6 Android launchers that are better than your default home screen - and why


You can customize your Android phone simply by replacing the default launcher. Here are six I recommend.

Jack Wallen/ZDNET Microsoft Launcher is another highly customizable launcher that includes features such as pinned contacts, personalized feed (which includes information like news, calendar events, docs, contacts, and more), Continue on PC (snap a photo on your phone, and it is automatically synced with your Windows PC), global search, and gesture customization. Lynx Launcher includes a dock for your most used applications, an alphabetically grouped app list (accessed via a right swipe), and plenty of customizations. Because you can choose whether the search bar rests at the top or bottom of the screen, you'll have easier access even without moving your hands when holding the tablet.
