Launchers on Android are numerous, with all the flavors available. From many overloaded definitions that are mainly betting on performance to reduced-end solutions such as Google Launcher, which can go wrong with not having many options at the user-generated level. From known XDA Developers GCA Launcher, a launcher that supports its design lines at other points seen on ChromeOS from Google.

Big desk Same with Google Launcher, even though they have rebuilt materials. The icons in the bottom bar are very close, above the search bar (all of these things within the best transparent locks. Above we see the time and the little message.

Version 2 of this announcement includes clean design, some complete settings and the promise of even more efficiency
Yes, the change of beauty is quite successful, by the sheer beauty of Material Design. In this case, desktop applications are located at the bottom of the launcher, just below the app drawer.

The settings are exactly the same (somehow perfect, of course), with a more clean interface. However, this is a beta version it's still very green, so we found ourselves very comfortable with its original version, waiting for this V2 to have more stability.
