“The Android platform is arguably one of the most flexible
mobile operating systems in the customization stakes. Almost every
part of the Android interface can be modified to meet the
requirements of the user without having to gain privileged control
(often referred to as “root access”). Customization extends far
beyond simply changing the wallpaper, sounds, and widgets.“When the Home button on an Android phone is pressed, the stock
launcher is displayed. Whilst the concept of this launcher is well
thought out, its implementation is not to everyone’s taste.
Fortunately, there are a whole raft of home replacement
applications available for Android, ranging from the slickest and
most feature-laden launchers, to the decidedly weird and
wacky.”
