Best launchers are the following.

  1. It’s between F Launcher and Emotn UI.

F Launcher has a lot of wall papers but no live wall papers. Don’t know why people say F launcher lags. It doesn’t lag for me but what needs to be changed in F Launcher is when you close out back round apps The F Launcher logo pops up for like 5 seconds before you get back to the home page. That has to go.

Emotn UI has live wallpapers and a lot of them. It’s pretty cool. Clean UI.

2.Projectivy Launcher is good but a lot of bugs and people are paying for the premium version and they are not getting premium feature. Don’t know why people would pay premium on a fairly new launcher.

  1. ATV launcher.

The lag in FLauncher could be from underpowered devices not able to draw the blinking selection box animation. It’s quite taxing because of how it’s coded.

FLauncher only does that behavior if it's not the default launcher because it's not staying in memory.

If it's the default launcher, it won't need to start up all the time.

ATV Launcher hasn't been updated in like 3.5 years and has bugs which will never be fixed (more bugs in Pro than free).

Sideload Channel Lahncher 1-4 is also usually considered one of the best. It's highly customizable but lacks a true column mode. Also no free version and a question about length of support for each version.

Sideload Channel launcher three is my preferred launcher. The premium version is a few pounds/dollars. Well worth it. Clean customisable gui. Try the free one and see if you like it. I think there is a free version.

See here for a good guide on completely replacing the stock launcher.

I don't know why Leanback on Fire never gets mentioned, I've been using it since two years without an issue.

Where are u seeing the Projectivy Premium? I looked in the App and Playstore and can’t find it. I got the free one from the Playstore and had no issues with it so far. Got a CCTV this Black Friday.

I wasn't aware of Emotn UI. Went to the website, and they offer direct apk download. Don't see it in the store. Is the website the sole source for distribution?

Anyway, I really like Emotn UI. Hard to say after just using it for ten minutes, but it might be better than Flauncher.
