About Stock Launcher - Android 4.1

UPDATES: You may have noticed I haven't updated this for ages. Sorry. I bought a Nexus 4 and so I don't need this any more and don't have motivation to update it.

ALTERNATIVES:

1. Another developer has compiled the latest launchers from Google - search for "Digital Cookies" in the play store.
2. Apex Launcher

----------------------

Google's launcher from Android 4.1 Jellybean, available for you, good gentleperson, right here, right now. No ads. No catches.

WHY DO I HAVE TO CHOOSE THE WIDGETS TWICE?!

Unfortunately it has to be this way. Sorry. It is due to Google cheating slightly with widget security.

I previously said that it "will likely never be fixed by Google, 'cause it doesn't affect them". Well I guess I have to eat my words because in Android 4.1 they fixed it! If you run this app on Android 4.1 it won't ask you to pick your widgets twice. Whether you'll actually ever get Android 4.1 is a-whole-nother story.

Oh yeah, also please don't rate it low because it doesn't have many features. That is kind of the point - it has exactly the same features as in the stock app. If you want more, check out Apex Launcher. :-)

If you want ICS icons, install ICS apps! The launcher does not decide the icons.

I have a Casio Commando 4g and the Launcher looks terrible including the App Drawer. I can not thank the maker of this launcher enough for such a clean and basic Jellybean launcher. It's all we ask for in an Android and the manufactures mess it up. So far I have no complaints. Thanks again.

Why am I just now using this?? Apex, Nova, adw, whatever, they just don't run as well for me on my RAZR. This is sooooo smooth. Usually the transition from apps to widgets in the app drawer would lag but not here!!! Everything is so fast!

The only launcher available with google search bar at the very top of screen, unlike another JB launcher. The only problem I have is widget, but I think its google's fault.

K70%
by K####:

This is great for the Samsung Galaxy S II with the Jelly Bean update that forces you to only use TouchWiz 5. With this launcher, you can have the stock Jelly Bean launcher back. It's a bit buggy when adding widgets but it still works.

T70%
by T####:

Its great. But the problem is i cant use any clock widget. If i add any they seems cuted off or doesnt add to my homescreen properly. Apart from that Launcher is butter smooth no issues at all. 4.1.2 jellybean. S3. EDIT: Tried Apex Launcher instead of it & My problem solved!! Apex Launcher does that Job with no worries.

I love it! But... margins are too big on my phone. :( (AQUOS PHONE 104SH) The STOK Camera app is disabled (so I couldn't use panorama mode.) on my phone, but I can launch it from this launcher! Thank you very much! very good app!

I am a user of many new and old launchers, but seriously, this is the best.!!!!! Really great excellent. It is user friendly and no ads. It also doesnt say u to like them on Google play. It never disturbs and keeps calm and takes less battery.only one thing to say, pls upload more launcher and themes. It is a must have app for any phone. Thanks Tim hutt

This is probably the cleanest fastest launcher I've used, but its lacking major functions, long pressing the home page should give you the options to add apps or widgets instead the only option it gives is background pictures. No transition options and missing integration for almost every widget I have installed ( One last thing why does this app ask to be allowed to make calls?

I can open the app drawer only one time the next time it doesn't work and the whole bottom bar doesn't work I can only use the sliding menu... Fix this problem and I will give you 5 star rating

It won't let me use the hot bar! I can't access the app tray nor launch apps from the hot bar, but, I mean, it works, to an extent

T70%
by T####:

Works reliably BUT the layout of icons can be rather odd on some devices. I have just upgraded to an HTC One and it just doesn't use the space effectively on screen. It looks somewhat odd and its just frustrating I can't add more icons.

This is a very nice theme and it is almost exactly the same as the real android jelly bean. Sadly though I don't have the full access to my standard phone widgets.

by T####:

This launcher is exactly what you would get on a stock Android device. Just please add the animation when you open the app drawer. Overall, this is the best looking launcher ever, and is very stable on my LG Lucid 2.

I have tried several jelly bean launchers. Thos one seems to be one of the best. V smooth and simple. Just had one issue I cant seem to find the launcher settings?? Thays why i took off one star. Oyjerwise its great.

Great launcher but crashes all the time. I need to un install and reinstall before it can work sometime. Please fix. Samsung galaxy s4 user.

Wow! I thought this launcher would be so slow (despite it's size) but it actually was smoother than TouchWiz Home... (more like TouchWiz Hell) Thanks! I really love it! Keep making more AOSP based apps :)

This is the cleanest, most bloat free JB launcher available on Google Play. I'm not gonna be a dirtbag and take away stars...but my only request is that you make a version with forced tablet ui. I have a tablet running ICS, and for some reason it launches in phone ui. (Although I changed the DPI on my phone and tablet ui worked fine.)

by T####:

This is excellent on my phone and runs well, but it appears that it is configured for larger screens. As my HTC Desire C has a 3.5" screen, elements overlap on the screen making it a little difficult to use at times. I will rate this launcher 5 stars as soon as it is be fixed :) Otherwise thank you and keep up the great work!

Hopefully it'll be updated beyond 4.1, and provide pure Google experience to "K", "L", "M"... Sometimes has some visual defects. Hopefully it'll go away after my phone upgrading to Jelly Bean.

Switched to moto X (android 5.1) and found Stock Launcher, love it but only big issue is the short cut icons on the home bar don't work, they are there but not functional, I can't even remove/replace them... Please fix it, pretty pleassssse

I can't add an app to the dock. When I do, the dock is unresponsive and I can't open the app drawer. Using a Moto G on 4.4.2 KitKat

This is already installed in my canvas2...so i rated this only 3 stars...keep the same work going.....

by T####:

it works great on my padfone, need some work with the dynamic switching from phone to tablet, the icons and widget does not arrange accordingly, if possible to run 2 launcher side by side upon phone ui switch to tablet ui would be great. if it works, u deserve a donation. =)

Works great on my S2 4.0.4... only one thing is it ask me 2 times for placing a widget on home screen... anyway 5stars for this great app... thanks

Landscape mode was on of the reasons I loved this. Not sure why people wanted it removed, but takes the app. from a 5 to a 3 for me.

My Galaxy Pocket Neo came with the horrible TouchWiz instead of the classic appearance of 4.1 like this one witch is soo much nicer! Now I'm so happy, Thank you thank you thank you Mr. Dev ;) you're awesome!

When I try to tap the apps in the hot seat or the middle button that shows all the apps in the home screen, it doesn't do anything...

U70%
by U####:

Completely lag free and smooth. But I wish there was an option to create folders inside app drawer. I know this launcher is not part of your goal, but still it would be nice if there was folder option as navigating through some 140 apps inside app drawer is tiresome

M70%
by M####:

I use this launcher, due to the sluggish performance my karbonn's default launcher. This is really awesome!! Only one thing which lacks is the wallpaper in the home screen is not showing up in the menu background. But other wise, this is definitely the best stock application available in the market.

For the first launch it was okay but now i don't get any response on any action in it, i wrote this using another launcher (by pressing home button) i gived it another try by rebooting my phone but that didn't help so im going to uninstall it.I liked the launcher and wished to give 5 stars but it's suddenly stopped working. I reinstall it and it worked again but i get same bug when i tryed to adjust bottom thing (caller, messages, contacts.). Launcher is working but the bottom icons stop after any change.
