The ability to tweak your device makes you the boss. Do you know you can make your home screen looks very much like that of iPhone, even more unique and classique than
iphone.
Best Android Launchers For 2015
Action Launcher:
The interface of this launcher is so unique, there's no regular dock and app drawer, instead replacing it with a slide-in drawer to house your apps. You also get Shutters and
Covers, which give you innovative ways to launch into folders and widgets with swipes — it's all about getting to your apps and content quicker.

Google Now:
Google Now comes right from Google (and is pre- installed on Nexus phones ). Transitions are quick and clean, and there's nothing superfluous getting between you and your apps and widgets. Beyond that, the left-most home screen becomes Google Now , so you can launch into searches, view cards populated based on the time of day, your location, and general browsing habits, and execute all sorts of hands-free "OK Google" commands. The only real downside here is that you won't be able to enjoy the level of customization available on more robust
launchers — you get what Google gives you here. In order words, Google remain the boss of this launcher.

Nova launcher:
This is one of the most popular launcher that
offers you a lot of animation options, folder views, and desktop behaviors. You can program gestures to perform certain actions, and fully customize unread badges including corner radius, border, background and text color. One particularly cool addition is swipe actions, which allow app icons to act as a folder with a swipe, or a standard app launch with a tap. If that's not enough, you can always explore the wide world of Nova-compatible themes in Google Play to dramatically change the look and
feel of your Android device.

Aviate Launcher:
Aviate builds collections of your apps based on different types of activities. You can, of course, tweak those collections manually as well, and
Aviate can offer suggestions to fill in collections.
Aviate figures out where you are and what time of day it is, and serves up relevant collections in
custom-built interfaces called Spaces so you can
better handle those activities. For example, if you plug in your headphones, it offers you quick access to media controls and your favorite music apps. Hit the road, and you'll be offered shortcuts to navigation home and to the office.

Go Launcher:
The Go Launcher is a flashy launcher with a great range of screen transitions, including 3D ones. Launcher settings are available through a readily accessible drawer that's summoned with an upward swipe from the home screen. There's a dedicated theme storefront app that lets you cruise through available Go Launcher compatible apps and punts you out to the Play Store when you're ready to download. It even has a section of dedicated custom lock screens via the Go Locker apps.
Apex Launcher:
Apex offers a similar range of functions as Nova.
You can tweak the icon tray size and scrolling, change animations, adjust home screen behaviors, and customize gesture commands for various pinches, taps, and swipes.
