Fossify Launcher

3 of 5 Stars

Same basics as the built-in Android launcher: a home screen for app icons, optional additional screens, grouping multiple apps in a folder -- and it doesn't push a "news" screen or force a Google search bar on you!

Unfortunately it's not quite ready for prime time. As of version 1.0.0:

• It doesn't rotate. Always running in portrait mode is fine for my phone, but I often use my tablet in landscape mode.
• Widget support needs a lot more work. Sometimes they disappear, sometimes they get stuck in the background of all screens, and sometimes they just disappear the moment I add them.

I'll probably try it out again after the next release, though!
