SAO Launcher

Set shortcuts on your screen for plenty of functions in your phone
Customization apps are a great way to make your phone stand out and to make it your own. They let you change the whole appearance of your phone and provide shortcuts to settings and various functions.

SAO Launcher is a nice app that does just that. It comes with icons to many sections inside the app, to make it faster and easier for you to navigate inside the app and access various features.

Sleek and very lightweight design

The interface of this app is quite sleek and very intuitive even if the app doesn't come with a tutorial featuring instructions and various tips. Still, it opens directly with the side bar filled with icons and shortcuts to different functions inside the app but before you can start using the app to the fullest, you'll need to enable the app as your default messenger application if you wish, of course.

Moreover, you'll gain access to a whole menu filled with settings and different changes that you can do inside the app.

Access different functions directly from your home screen

The nice thing about this app is that it opens a whole set of shortcuts with the tap of one finger. It creates shortcuts for your player, contacts list, messages and also displays your location on a map.

In addition, it has an icon that opens the app drawer and provides users with plenty of ways in which they can customize this section. Users have the option of filtering unwanted applications or sort them alphabetically, by last opened or most used.

In addition, you can create folders to arrange your apps. You also have the option of rearranging icons on the side bar.

Customize the app to your liking

You can change the position of the swipe or the width and height. You can also hide unwanted contacts from the list or sort them by most used. It lets you change notification sounds for when you receive a call or text message.

The nice thing about text messages is that they appear on top of other apps, so you can reply fast without having to close the app you were working in. But these features are available in the free version.

The premium version doesn't come with ads and has some more features, like the navigator tool that shows you the closest route to a certain location. The app also comes with paid extensions that provide access to other features and the option to add more orbs on the screen.
