Top 5 Android Launchers Worth Trying Out
Unlike other major mobile phone platforms, Android can be customized the
way you want. And that is one of the things I like most about Android.
If you are thinking about customizing Android, Launchers are a good
place to start. There are quite a number of good third-party Android
Launcher apps, both free and non-free, available in the Android Market.
Let's explore and find out the finest five among them. Read on.
LauncherPro is undoubtedly one my favorite third party Launcher app for Android. It is one of those Launchers that just works on all kinds of devices. Simple, lightweight and really fast. I especially love the 3D App Drawer feature of LauncherPro. It works silky smooth even though it is an experimental feature. LauncherPro is currently the default Launcher in my Galaxy S2.
GO Launcher EX is another really good third party Launcher app for Android. Unlike LauncherPro, GO Launcher EX has tons of themes and awesome widgets to play around. And GO Store widget lets you easily browse through available themes and widgets made exclusively for GO Launcher EX. It combines simplicity with flamboyance rather well. My only gripe is that, GO Launcher EX occasionally cause overheating in my Android.

And GO Store widget lets you easily browse through available themes and widgets made exclusively for GO Launcher EX. It combines simplicity with flamboyance rather well. My only gripe is that, GO Launcher EX occasionally cause overheating in my Android.
SPB Shell 3D is perhaps the most flamboyant and eyecandy Launcher
available in the Android Market. Coupled with some stunning widgets and
colors, SPB Shell 3D is a real show stopper. SPB's messaging and clock
widgets deserves special mention. They are all so well designed and
comes as default installations, unlike in other Launchers where most
widgets are a paid extra. But there is a catch, SPB Shell 3D is pricey,
costs around US$15, when most other Launchers are free to use. Please
read reviews before buying SPB Shell 3D, this may or may-not work in
your device. In my Galaxy S2, SPB Shell 3D works buttery smooth.
ADWLauncher EX is a highly rated Android Launcher application
with nearly 500,000 downloads already. ADWLauncher EX has many
similarities with GO Launcher EX, except that ADWLauncher EX is
non-free. There is a free stripped down version of ADW Launcher
if you want to give it a ride before buying it. ADWLauncher EX has 5
different app drawer styles, 3D Nexus One like application drawer and
hundreds of themes to choose from.
MXHome Launcher was a very recent find. MXHome is a launcher
application that is specialized in 3D effects on its 'Theme page' It
provides totally different experiences by highlights from 3D effects and
creative ideas. Some of the themes available for MXHome Launcher like
BlueWatch and Sports Watch are simply mind blowing.
Please carefully read the user reviews as well as notes by respective
developers before installing above launchers in you Android. Hope you
were able to choose the Launcher that suits you best. If you are
interested, here are some stunning games for Android I like the most.
15 Must Have Android Games
Android is growing at a stupendous rate and so is Android Market. Number
is applications in Android Market is nearing 300,000 now and the rate
of growth is only increasing. Trying to pick the very best of Android
games from that enormous list is tough. I will try to give it my best
shot anyway. Here are the games I enjoy playing in my Android 2.3.3
powered Galaxy S2.
Tank Hero is my Android's biggest battery drainer app. Don't get me wrong, that has nothing to do with Tank Hero's resource management. It's just that, Tank Hero is very addictive. Game itself is free, but there is an option for upgrading to ad-free version of the game. I would recommend you to upgrade to paid version since it adds up as a small token of appreciation.

TurboFly 3D is a fast paced futuristic 3D racing game which puts your device's motion sensing capabilities to test. There is a free to install and play demo version of the game after which you can decide on whether or not to buy the paid version. Worth every penny.
Trial Xtreme is an interactive game that invites you to join the engrossing motorcycle race. Ride your motorbike and surmount the track obstacles using the touch screen and phone accelerometer. Again, there is a free demo version of Trial Xtreme for you to get a feel of it.
Dragon Fly is perhaps one of the most peaceful games I have ever played. Slide and fly over the beautiful hills in this fast paced one touch arcade game. It has got a soothing background score and a simple yet beautiful gameplay. Dragon Fly is free to download(ad supported).
Robo Defense can be termed as my Android's second biggest battery drainer app. Again, it has nothing to do with app's efficiency, Robo Defense is just way-too-much fun. Robo Defense is basically a tower defence game featuring open maps, upgrades, achievements and neat graphics. Try this free demo version of game first, you will know what I am talking about.
Jet Car Stunts is yet another game making full use of your smartphone's accelerometer. Jet Car Stunts is an award winning, over the top, 3D driving game, with massive jumps, mid-air hoops, floating platforms, spiral roadways and outlandish manoeuvres in impossible environments. Jet Car Stunts Lite free version also available.
Free Running is a simple and addictive stick man free running game. Run as far as you can as long as you can, simple as that. A good way to kill time, casually.
Parkour Roof Riders is yet another game similar to Free Running, though it is a lot more sophisticated. There are lots of moves you could improvise using simple touch gestures which makes this game a real gem. Try the free Parkour Roof Riders Lite version first and if you like it, go for the full version of Parkour Roof Riders.
Greedy Spiders is a lot of fun. It is an exciting puzzle game with nice little animations and excellent gameplay. Try the Greedy Spiders free version first.
X Construction is very similar to Cargo Bridge game from Chrome Web Store(also read: top 10 games from Chrome Web Store). Build a bridge to let the train safely cross the valley. Game needs Android 2.1 or above. Try the free X Construction Lite version first.
By now you must have noticed that, I have a special taste for racing and casual puzzle games. Reckless Getaway is a must have for all racing game fanatics out there. Game is non-free.
Apparatus is a real stunner of a game and a must have for puzzle lovers. Apparatus is a game about setting up simple mechanical structures to move one or several marbles to the goal. Build a complex machine to perform a simple task and that's Apparatus for you. Try the free Apparatus Lite version of the game first.
Cut the Rope is perhaps the most addictive game in Android Market after Angry Birds. The game was a phenomenon of sorts in the iOS App Store and it is now available for Android as well. Not enough levels is the only complaint users have for this amazing game. There is no free version of Cut the Rope though, you will have to buy it to play it.
Reckless Racing is yet another visually impressive dirt-road racing game(sorry, can't help it) from Android Market. This game has got stunning visuals and the top-down approach makes it real special. Again, no free version available. But there is an Sony Xperia PLAY optimized version of the game called Reckless Racing PLAY.
Air Control is a simple yet addictive drawing game where you take on the role of Air Traffic Controller. It is your job to direct airplanes to runways while avoiding collisions. Air Control Lite will give you a free and quick walk through.
