L Launcher 2.4
L Launcher is a beautiful and sleek launcher that comes with several customizable Lollipop themes that you can add to your phone. It has lots of settings and options to choose from.
Sleek and highly customizable interface
The app launches directly with a tutorial filled with instructions, showing new users how to access all features inside the app and how to make changes to the interface. The style of the app is very similar to Lollipop OS, with some minor differences. Users can create their own version of the OS, considering that they can apply one of the three themes available.
You can change the base icon, adjust app icon scale, select masks and filters for icons. You can also share themes with friends on social networks. The app gives you the option to search online for a theme based on the phone that you're using, either a Galaxy S5, LG G3 or Sony Xperia. A theme was available for HTC Sense devices, but it seems that it was removed from Google Play.
Make all sort of changes to the UI
Aside from themes, you can apply other changes to your GUI. You can adjust the grid size, set margins and apply all sort of transition effects. The size of icons can also be changed, as well as colors and text fonts.
However, the app has a whole section with wallpapers, but the issue is that you'll have to be really patient before it opens them. It has trouble displaying wallpapers, so you'll have to patient before you can actually view and apply them to your home screen. Same goes with themes for the lock screen.
More features
The launcher doesn't have any ads, but it does come with a separate section providing users with suggestions to all sort of apps that they could download to their phones. However, it also takes a while to load. Users can import their settings from another launcher.
You can create public or even private folders on your phone. There's the option to lock applications, so that access is only granted with a password. Apps can also be hidden and you can sort your apps from the drawer alphabetically or adjust the drawer style if you wish.
The app comes with some widgets for your home screen, aside from the option to view the number of missed calls or SMS counts. L Launcher has some in-app purchases, the premium version costs 3.39$ and it will display the number of unread Gmail and WhatsApp messages.
