Help Launchers

[iram]

To experiment with different Launchers is it possible to "multi boot" for lack of a better name to choose a different launcher each time you turn on the phone?

Nope, You can have a bunch of them installed TO the phone, and on it. But to use them you have to choose them when the phone is on.

Found this launcher
ADw


Seems interesting at least it doesnt take it upon itself to change background animation like some others do

adw is my favorite... and as long as you don't choose a default launcher, you can install multiple different ones and every time the phone boots up it will ask you which one you want to use. it will do the same when you press home...

I like ADW, Holo is a good one too. I stay away from Go Launcher though, to big and bulky, and it seems to eat up memory.

yea go launcher is the norton antivirus of launchers... ... and another cool thing about adw is that there is quite a few themes for it on the play store..

Hmmmmm this adw launcher seems interesting....somehow it seems to fit more icons on home page than stock....maybe the size is a touch smaller...cant tell......
My son who has a different phone with a more updated OS says it seems to emulate more current stock launchers. what I do like is that it keeps the original home background screen....

Actually, maybe...:idea: Have you heard of the app Tasker? It's very powerful and can possibly do what you are asking about. Check it out.

Also, if you decide to try it you'll definitely want to read this excellent guide on "programming" the app.
