Bored of the looks of your Android phone's interface? Feel that it isn't intuitive enough? If so, you're not alone, as evinced by the growing number of launcher apps on the market. Launchers are apps that control the look and feel of an Android phone, everything from automatically sorting your apps into smart folders, or letting you add widgets to the dock, or changing every icon on the screen.
Some launchers let you control the animations and effects you see while opening apps or switching between home screens, while others focus on showing you apps and information that you will need at a particular time or location.
Launchers do a lot more than basic themes, and are closer to the "skins" that most manufacturers install on phones. The problem is that most skins don't give you too much control over the phone, unlike launchers where you can pick and choose apps that completely reinvent your phone, without having to root it. Apps like Aviate or EverythingMe go far beyond the cosmetic level, and change how you use your phone.
