Since the inception of mobile cellular phones with digital color displays, the main home screen has been based on the same basic principal:
A page (or pages) of icons that takes the user to a particular application or tool.
However, this modern day and age, with the evolution of technology and the introduction of the SMART phone - the user interface has not evolved.
With touch screen technology and large screen size on our everyday smart phones, should there be some evolution in the same old icons of applications?
I, ALONG WITH MANY OTHERS, ARE IN SEARCH OF THE ULTIMATE ANDROID HOME SCREEN LAUNCHER.
It can be a home screen launcher app, or a combination of widgets or mods, that make a superb, smart and intuitive user experience.
Looking for? Criteria? Ideals?
Something like "Flow Home" app launcher with Google Now Screen, Flipboard/Blink feed live feed and with widgets that are more like interactive apps. A personal assistant-like AGENDA page, a pebble-like timeline information. Quick google search. Quick launch favorites app - like PIE control. Smart auto categorized apps into easy access folders.
Is there a launcher that has the ability to fully integrate an app such as facebook or flipboard as one "full screen" page? That would be amazing. I would have Google Now or some smart agenda assistant app as the default home page, swipe left is facebook, swipe right is flipboard, and if i do some gesture swipe i get my apps organized by smart or frequency or favourites.
I've tried and tested majority of the well known launchers:
Aviate Launcher - excellent!, my current launcher - looking for smarter/better
Flow Home Launcher - excellent, my second go to launcher - i like their favorites app, PIE control-like button and their "news feed"
Google Now Launcher - basic but i like the google now page and it's "smart" information, and it's integration with google calender, keep as i use this constantly
Nova, APEX, Hola and equivalent - bland, very customization but too simple of rows and columns!
GoLauncher - dislike heavy on colour/animation/memory/cpu usage with same results as NOVA, APEX etc.
ActionLauncher - like NOVA but like their widgets on right-swipe page
SmartLauncher - quick start is all that it offers, smart categories all home screen apps have
