As soon as it was announced Ice Cream Sandwich, began to create themes to give the different launchers the appearance of the new Google operating system. But the truth is that his own Android 4.0 It has been spreading so much that there are already many who have it installed on their device, enjoying the appearance that comes from the factory. Can this be improved? Nova Launcher takes care of adding secret options customization in the common ICS style. It doesn't change the basic appearance, it just adds new features to exploit the device.
Although it is identical to the launcher that comes by default with Android 4.0, Nova Launcher add things like the Custom grid, which allows you to adjust the number of rows and columns that we want to have on the main screen. There is also Scrollable Dock, which allows us to customize the dock (the bottom bar with the five main icons), adding more docks that we access by sliding our finger to the left and right.
Nova Launcher It also allows us to choose a scroll effect from a good list of varieties. The scroll effect defines how we are going to scroll between screens: these can roll, be minimized until they disappear, become part of a cube, etc. Closely related to this is the infinite scroll, which allows us to configure our mobile so that when we get to the last panel and want to go to the next one, jump to the first one, very useful if we have a large number of panels. Also noteworthy is the possibility of customize folders, both their icons, as well as the way in which the applications it contains will be previewed.
And all this, if we buy the free version of Nova Launcher on Google Play. But the truth is that if we like it, the ideal would be to buy the payment application, Nova Launcher PrimeBy three euros. This premium version carries very powerful functions, such as the use of multi-touch gestures to open certain applications or perform an action. Of course, both are only available for devices with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.
personally GO Launcher EX, it is much better, I have had it for a year and thanks to the update it seems that I have the interface of android4 on my galaxy s
I have to say that I also use Go Launcher EX as my daily Launcher ... what happens, you have to try everything ... And let's bear in mind that Nova launcher is only for ICS ... It is to take ICS which is new and has a good design, and add some options to it. WHEN people get tired of the ICS look, what will happen ... then they will start to go back to personalization all over again.
