Balancer Launcher

Balancer Launcher is a more of a minimalist home screen replacement for your phone. It offers smooth performance. The feature I find most valuable is the built-in file manager accessible from the menu screen. Balancer Launcher supports a maximum of 7 screens, but these do not fully rotate around. The dock area supports 5 apps and you can put replace any of the default apps with apps of your choosing. The included icons for the ‘default’ apps in the dock look sharp to me.

I had no problems setting up Balancer Launcher and customizing it for my tastes. If I were going the minimalist route, I would give this a full workout.

I think you meant Balancer Launcher, with an r. I won't even try this launcher as it requires access to SMS and Internet among other things.

Thank you. I could not correct the title, but I corrected the internal spelling.
