Stock Launcher - Android 4.1

UPDATES: You may have noticed I haven't updated this for ages. Sorry. I bought a Nexus 4 and so I don't need this any more and don't have motivation to update it.
ALTERNATIVES:

1. Another developer has compiled the latest launchers from Google
- search for "Digital Cookies" in the play store.2. Apex Launcher

----------------------

Google's launcher from Android 4.1 Jellybean, available for you, good gentleperson, right here, right now. No ads. No catches.

WHY DO I HAVE TO CHOOSE THE WIDGETS TWICE?!

Unfortunately it has to be this way. Sorry. It is due to Google cheating slightly with widget security.

I previously said that it "will likely never be fixed by Google, 'cause it doesn't affect them". Well I guess I have to eat my words because in Android 4.1 they fixed it! If you run this app on Android 4.1 it won't ask you to pick your widgets twice. Whether you'll actually ever get Android 4.1 is a-whole-nother story.

Oh yeah, also please don't rate it low because it doesn't have many features. That is kind of the point
- it has exactly the same features as in the stock app. If you want more, check out Apex Launcher. :-)

If you want ICS icons, install ICS apps! The launcher does not decide the icons.

Was using nexus 4 and this was the factory launcher for that phone. Switched to moto X (android 5.1) and found Stock Launcher, love it but only big issue is the short cut icons on the home bar don't work, they are there but not functional, I can't even remove/replace them... Please fix it, pretty pleassssse

I have a Casio Commando 4g and the Launcher looks terrible including the App Drawer. I can not thank the maker of this launcher enough for such a clean and basic Jellybean launcher. It's all we ask for in an Android and the manufactures mess it up. So far I have no complaints. Thanks again.

I didn't expect this launcher to be so vanilla and how it is! Samsung forces touchwiz now on Galaxy S2 jelly bean so it was nice to have a way back without all the extras I really dont use. It also actually gave back scrolling wallpapers too :D I noticed this hasn't been updated in quite some time but the only option that would be helpful is a way to add/remove screens like say 3 min and 5 or 6 max. I personally use only 3 screens but for what this does currently, I'm still very happy :3

This is the cleanest, most bloat free JB launcher available on Google Play. I'm not gonna be a dirtbag and take away stars...but my only request is that you make a version with forced tablet ui. I have a tablet running ICS, and for some reason it launches in phone ui. (Although I changed the DPI on my phone and tablet ui worked fine.)

For the first launch it was okay but now i don't get any response on any action in it, i wrote this using another launcher (by pressing home button) i gived it another try by rebooting my phone but that didn't help so im going to uninstall it.I liked the launcher and wished to give 5 stars but it's suddenly stopped working. I reinstall it and it worked again but i get same bug when i tryed to adjust bottom thing (caller, messages, contacts.). Launcher is working but the bottom icons stop after any change.

I am a user of many new and old launchers, but seriously, this is the best.!!!!! Really great excellent. It is user friendly and no ads. It also doesnt say u to like them on Google play. It never disturbs and keeps calm and takes less battery.only one thing to say, pls upload more launcher and themes. It is a must have app for any phone. Thanks Tim hutt

This is great for the Samsung Galaxy S II with the Jelly Bean update that forces you to only use TouchWiz 5. With this launcher, you can have the stock Jelly Bean launcher back. It's a bit buggy when adding widgets but it still works.

Sha. H. Jan 27, 2013     

Its great. But the problem is i cant use any clock widget. If i add any they seems cuted off or doesnt add to my homescreen properly. Apart from that Launcher is butter smooth no issues at all. 4.1.2 jellybean. S3. EDIT: Tried Apex Launcher instead of it & My problem solved!! Apex Launcher does that Job with no worries.

it works great on my padfone, need some work with the dynamic switching from phone to tablet, the icons and widget does not arrange accordingly, if possible to run 2 launcher side by side upon phone ui switch to tablet ui would be great. if it works, u deserve a donation. =)

TouchWiz, Sense, and all the bunk others need to realize who's actually being different and stop trying to be different on a subterranean level. Stock Android, at least ics and jb, are very beautiful the wAyers they are and far superior to iOs.

A. G. u. Oct 15, 2012     

buttery smooth, stable and overall a feel-good launcher esp. for someone like me who has yet to come round to download ROMs from developers or the StockRom from Samsung themselves. this provides my quick fix at the moment. n.n a request tho? change the icons to the. Nexus icon's please? it will look more "jelly-bean-like" that way.

This is excellent on my phone and runs well, but it appears that it is configured for larger screens. As my HTC Desire C has a 3.5" screen, elements overlap on the screen making it a little difficult to use at times. I will rate this launcher 5 stars as soon as it is be fixed :) Otherwise thank you and keep up the great work!

The app dock freezes because I'm on kit kat, please fix, its my favorite launcher besides the fact that it freezes. PLEASE FIX

This port of the standard launcher has saved me from the hell that is Samsung's "Touch Wiz". My Galaxy Note now resembles a Galaxy Nexus (only bigger) , is more responsive. I get to keep the better built in apps and avoid the pitfalls of "rooting" custom roms.

Completely lag free and smooth. But I wish there was an option to create folders inside app drawer. I know this launcher is not part of your goal, but still it would be nice if there was folder option as navigating through some 140 apps inside app drawer is tiresome

This is probably the cleanest fastest launcher I've used, but its lacking major functions, long pressing the home page should give you the options to add apps or widgets instead the only option it gives is background pictures. No transition options and missing integration for almost every widget I have installed ( One last thing why does this app ask to be allowed to make calls?

The app draw button doesn't work, nor other icons except the settings icon. This affects Kitkat and Marshmallow mobile.

Doesn't work. I installed and tried it hoping for a more vanilla launcher but it won't let me open my app drawer since I followed the tutorial and asked camera to my home screen, apps won't open and I can't open my app drawer. Please fix as this does have a nice look.

The menu button and the google search bar don't work when setting a custom wallpaper

It's a really AMAZING app. It somehow made my phone faster. The only thing is that it would be nice to have landscape mode. At least it could be optional.

A. G. u. Nov 2, 2012     

It's only when stop to think about it that I remember my phone is still on ICS as the look is the same as my Nexus 7. Thanks Tim

Thank you for providing the classic jellybean interface, minor lags otherwise works like a charm

The launcher keeps crashing on me. I'm not sure what the cause is, but before it worked fine

Good launcher but when I add widgets/apps to hone screen I can't use app drawer please fix soon

A. G. u. Jun 10, 2013     

Works reliably BUT the layout of icons can be rather odd on some devices. I have just upgraded to an HTC One and it just doesn't use the space effectively on screen. It looks somewhat odd and its just frustrating I can't add more icons.

Once I change or add any shortcut to the homescreen, the app launcher and the quick drawer stops working. Jiayu G3S

Sye. J. Z. Nov 18, 2017     

Pretty fast but there is one issue it doesn't support any widget. I've to force stop and clear data of this launcher in order to make it workable again. Can't access drawer menu whenever i put a widget in homescreen :(
