The Transition menu lets you change the transition between homescreens and the animation that happens when you open an app. The Icon menu brings up all the options for changing how your icons look. You can choose a preset size or a custom size. Show icon base deals with certain icon packs.

Turning off Show icon base will remove that background shape. Icon style lets you apply icon packs to your phone. This can quickly change the look of your phone more than anything else. The Font menu lets you edit app labels. App labels color lets you change the font color of app names.
App labels display lets you choose when app labels are displayed and when they are not. Select Font changes the font used for app labels.

Gesture gives you access to gestures controls you can use on the homescreen to launch apps and perform actions.

Smart Launcher home screen is extremely simple, with no pages, only a simple clock, and some shortcuts at the bottom.
Its app drawer features automatic categorization of installed apps into various categories like Games, Internet, Office, Media etc. You can re-arrange the apps manually too. Smart Launcher can be customized by icon packs meant for other launchers, as well as dedicated Smart Launcher themes.
You can also hide installed apps from the menu, change app icons on a per-app basis. Smart Launcher has quite an extensive Android version support, from v2.

So there goes the list of the best Android Launcher available. Hi Shaunak…. Thanks for sharing a great list of Android Launcher….. I am very much happy with my HTC smartphone default launcher but I would like to try your option once. Well i think Apex launcher is one of the best launcher among all other launchers. Some launchers are new for me , so thanks for updating me with others also :.
My default launcher is really awesome but it seems boring so i think i might be picking one of the listed ones. I have been using Smart Launcher for over a month. What I really about it is that it is very light on resources and lightening fast. Its only drawback is that it lack widgets. Ankur Upadhyay — Smart Launcher is very good too. The lack of widget support is one of their strategies, to make people buy the paid version, which has widget support.
But your list is too good nice work sir. Creatively, I would go for Smart Launcher. And Moto Home fix and Home Smack to switch between them all with ease. Even more now that its on ICS. My favourite launcher is awd launcher but still better is the stock android launcher.
Thanks for your valuable content. Although all the top launchers mentioned by you are equally good, I feel that Nova and Next launcher 3D are the top two ones.
