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.

I thought I was actually being hacked. Got a new phone, thought I would try this launcher, so I bought it. At first I loved it. Thought it was amazing. About a week later I started getting full screen Amazon ads when I changed apps. Tried restoring from backup. Still have the problem. Tried formatting and restoring fresh, still happened. Then I remembered it happened about the same time. I tried this launcher so I went back to Nova. No more annoying, full screen adds. Will never use this again.

Sort of mirrors Pixel Launcher's design, but the default layout is still very bloated (even though simplicity is what Pixel Launcher is known for). Full of popups asking you to buy the premium version. Also has popups asking you to give it access to your wallpaper. That's standard for a launcher, but what's not standard is neglecting to declare the permission with Android so that it's actually possible to accept it!!! Also, Bing is the default search engine and you can't change it w/o paying.

I should be able to move my app drawer to the desired position the same way I would the home screen. And the search bar being the quick bar being the action bar was a long stretch to disable as it's only top or bottom, and they want to pay wall you to use Google as default?? The only redeeming qualities are that it's a better UI than the bottom 50% of other launchers. Constantly asks me to make it default home, 3 times in a row. Y'all get money hungry and take away core features, come tf on
