LG’s Launcher Ported to Other Devices
LG’s home and application launcher – seen on devices such as the LG Ally and their Optimus phones – has finally been ported to other devices. The person responsible claims that no root is required and all it takes is a simple installation of the .apk file to get it loaded, but he’s only tested it on an HTC EVO 4G thus far.
The launcher doesn’t look bad at all in terms of aesthetics and functionality. The bottom dock allows you to place shortcuts to any application you want simply by dragging one from the app draw over to the area you want it to appear. The app drawer itself can also sectioned into different categories – such as Communication and Multimedia – if you like to keep an organized collection.
You can only switch between having 5 and 7 homescreens – a bummer for people like me who prefer to have only 3 (yes, I know I’m weird). Other than that, you also get the full suite of custom widgets such as Calendar, Clocks, and the Memo widget. Head on over to XDA for more details and to find the download link (you’ll need to have an account to download it).
