Launcher onTap

About this app

As any android enthusiast would agree, customization is just as important to you as your cup of coffee in the morning. With Launcher onTap, I offer you a modernized and simple way to quickly navigate multiple launchers on your device while providing you a fast way to set your default and go to launcher. Let's go over what ill be providing you with this Quick tile.

In our latest update, we included a brand new and powerful widget for your launcher homescreen. This widget will dynamically update as you install new launchers to your device as well as change shape and form based on the grid space it consumes. The widget provides you the tools to switch launches immediately or run another instance in the background. We hope you enjoy!

Android 11-14 users will be upgraded to a new prompt using role manager!

For Android 14 and beyond, you get the premium experience. Starting with the more complex situations, Some devices now support a Desktop mode. If you are in Desktop mode, The Quick tile will send you directly to the home settings of android so it doesn't disturb your experience. The complexity of the app is simplified and relies on the android os to help you navigate your home apps. If Desktop modes or Samsung Dex is undetected, the Quick tile will now summon a Custom and Dynamic Launcher chooser prompt, modernized for your device. Click on a launcher to quick launch it and use it temporarily over top your default launcher. Long click on a launcher to view application information. The prompt also offers 2 actions which are pretty self explanatory. Take notice of the prompt that will appear above your launchers, this notice will be dismissed after so much usage.

This is a sequel of the Launchers Quick Tile app but because the original api used was deprecated, the entire concept had to be redeveloped from the ground up while maintaining compatibility with the newest android sdk. This took time and patience to redevelop and I hope it works to your standards.

This app will not appear in your app drawer as it does not contain a launcher icon. Uninstall from the Playstore or the Android Settings. Long click on the tile to view its application information.

Ratings and reviews

I didn't realize such niche products like this existed: a quick access button to allow me to switch in an instant from my minimalist launcher (for daily life) to One UI launcher for when I want to turn my phone into a mini desktop for work (allowing me to save shortcuts to files direct to my homescreen) without having to go levels deep in settings to effect the switch every time. This little app solves a problem most people would never think existed. It does one thing and does it well.

I really like this. especially since Google blocks their new Bubble feature behind the pixel launcher. but, I do experience the issue where after a few days the tile will grey out until you uninstall/reinstall it. other than this, it is a great addition to my phone. I am running a pixel 9 pro on Android 17

I love this app! I only had it stop working once. I contacted the developer and he got right back to me and fixed the issue quickly. He was great about communicating with me and keeping me updated while he addressed the issue. The app works well and does what I need it to. Highly Recommend.
