Action Launcher allows you to import from your existing layout from other launchers such as Apex, Nova, Google Now Launcher, HTC Sense, Samsung/Galaxy One UI/TouchWiz and the stock Android launcher, so you'll instantly feel right at home.

Action Launcher may request access to the Accessibility Service API for specific gesture functionality such as turning off the screen or opening the notification panel. Enabling access is optional, disabled by default, can be revoked at any time, and neither collects nor shares any data.

From 5 stars to 3.5 - I loved this launcher years ago. I got the premium version and love my setup with covers and folders. At some point though my backed up settings got messed up and many things would change to "name_not_found" and I couldn't find a way to fix it other than starting from scratch. Now for the past year my home screen freezes and I have to fight to get to "restart app" and then the issue is resolved... but I'm ready to switch. Happens 1 to 10 times a day.

Been using this launcher over 8 years and I've relied on it to make the use of my phone a pleasure. But like others, it had issues lately. Couldn't add most widgets and it crashed frequently. On 4/29/25, my phone updated to OneUI 7.0 and now I can add widgets again! we'll see if the crash issue continues but that hasn't been a serious issue for me.

There is a lot to like about this launcher, and it has several creative options. There are two negatives that kept me from giving it 5 stars. First of all, I very much like to be able to locate the search bar where I want it (not just top or bottom), and I like to be able to resize the search bar. The second negative IMO is, I have gotten used to having a sub-grid spacing option in other launchers.
