One of the most annoying things about my LG G5 is the lack of an app drawer. This is one of the most essential parts of the Android launcher.

The custom skin from Xiaomi "MIUI" was one of my favorites in the beginning of my Android days. The included customization options really had me hooked. It quickly became known as the IOS clone, but over the years it has really developed a sense of uniqueness. The latest version MIUI 7.1 has...
