User Reviews/Opinion:
- Can non stock apps be used with changing icons. For example allow calender apps to change icons with the date daily. At the moment this only works with stock system apps.
- Absolutely phenomenal. It does everything a launcher should do, no questions asked. Does it look good? Check. Is it extremely customizable? Check. Does it allow you to do tons of advanced stuff with your phone, while never being even somewhat confusing? Check. It supports every single stupid icon pack, widget, and background I throw at it. This is THE BEST OF THE BEST. If you want a good launcher, look no further.
- The launcher is very customisable however my two main issues with it are first, the lack of blur effects in the app list and general ui etc. And second, the lack of options for how the folders can be viewed when opened. For example, with iOS and Samsung, theirs are full screen with some sort of translucency effect.
