  • Following my review round-up of the best Android launchers that you can download in 2020 (including Nova, Lawnchair 2 etc), I tested out some of your personal recommendations. So here's my top 5 favourite launchers that you guys love.
    I already reviewed some of your recommendations last year, including SquareHome and Before - but the following are all worth checking out and most can be downloaded for free from Google Play. That said, a few do offer a 'premium' or 'pro' version that must be unlocked for a small fee.
    Poco Launcher 2.0 is a solid start - this lightweight Android launcher doesn't mess with the layout, while keeping its hands off your phone's resources. You still get some respectable customisation, however.
    ASAP and Peek are two very similar launchers which prioritise speed over personalisation. You can open your favourite apps in a jiffy, with some smart recommendations and the overhauled desktop design.
    Alternatively, BlackBerry's version is very good for staying productive, with lots of handy shortcuts to all of your apps. And X Launcher is like a mash up of iOS and Android.
    Check out my original round-up for more ideas and see last year's viewer recommendations for even more!

    X Launcher is interesting, but I feel it would clash too much with the Funtouch OS for my vivo.
    I am currently using Arc Launcher. I was using Alpha Launcher, which is similar, but there are aspects about Arc I prefer.
    For one, it provides more customization and includes wallpapers, so I don't need to use a separate app.
    I would recommend them both, honestly.

    Don't know if you'll actually read this, my personal favorite is osmino launcher. Gives you a chance for animated icons, but what really sets it apart in my opinion is it's interphase allows you to use it in connection with another launcher simultaneously. I use that and nice prime both highly recommended.. 😉

      Those launchers takes up residence space of your physical memory you don't get that memory back unless you uninstallling the launch app.
      Another reason why they are called residents apps they stay in memory, not in ROM space also it stealing process power from your main processor 24/7.

The other OS is for people with limited brain, so they are only able to use, what has been given to them!
