5 Best Android smartphone launchers:
These are the five best android launchers to theme your smartphone:
1- Go Launcher Ex – Best launcher if you got a dual core smartphone or better:
I have been using this launcher from quite the beginning of android. Its developed by the Go group and typically gets update quite on time. It’s one of the fastest being updated launcher present in the Google play store.
Best thing about Go launcher ex is the availability of a large number of themes in the market. A lot of developers build free and paid themes for the Go launcher ex because of it’s popularity, since the theme makers know that this launcher is being used at a large scale.
There is a downside also, this launcher doesn’t work so fast on the older phones which don’t have cores in processor. This is because of the heavy graphics being used in the launcher which slow down the smartphone.

2- Apex and Nova Launcher – A Good Replacement if you want original Android’s Launcher Flavor:
Both of these launchers are quite good. If you got a slow smartphone, then going with any of these will be a good choice, because both of these are light as hell. They got a look of pure android which is appreciated among those group of people who like their smartphone to be pure and clean.
You can also get the premium versions of these launchers, which support gestures also. Gestures will surely increase the speed with which you operate your mobile, like you can setup small shortcut signs for sending a message to someone.
Nova Launcher is more appreciated among the android users as compared to the apex launcher, like most of the launchers, these launchers also got themes, icon packs, scrolling effects etc.
