Action Launcher allows you to import from your existing layout from other launchers such as Apex, Nova, Google Now Launcher, HTC Sense, Samsung/Galaxy One UI/TouchWiz and the stock Android launcher, so you'll instantly feel right at home.

Action Launcher may request access to the Accessibility Service API for specific gesture functionality such as turning off the screen or opening the notification panel. Enabling access is optional, disabled by default, can be revoked at any time, and neither collects nor shares any data.

Ratings and reviews

1. Sometimes the icons on the dock are smaller than 110% which were set by me. Only force stop the app helps. 2. Desktop set like iOS without app drawer and dock, witn apps on the main screen: when I try to touch the apps on the bottom of the display, it opens launcher settings or wallpaper picker. Apps open only when I touch the corner of their icon.

I would be more akin to possibly paying for premium membership version if it was a lifetime see you paid only once with action launcher. But it's not. That's one thing. The other thing is, as great of a homework replacement launcher as "Action" is, it does unfortunately have a glitch; it randomly populates duplicate icons of your installed applications within both the app drawer and the folders, both system created and the ones you made. I am constantly having to remove these. Fix & I'll buy!

Have been using this for years and love it, but recently when I changed my phone to a Pixel 8 with the latest Android, some times when I go to the home screen all icons dissappear and I can't open the apps tray, becoming "locked" from using the phone. Sometimes locking the device and unlocking solves it. When it doesn't, have to voice command it to reboot. Already checked the permissions and Action Launcher is set to not auto close when not used for long. Will update to 5 stars once it is fixed.

What's new
