Note that the Android Market should filter out non-compatible devices. Lower and higher resolutions are currently not supported, but because this is only a first release, the developer will gauge interest in this launcher to see if it warrants adding support for different resolutions. The launcher isn’t for everyone, though, if only because it currently only supports HDPI devices, so a resolution of 800Ã-480. You can opt for 3, 5, 7 or 9 homescreens. For the rest, it does all the things you expect – hold icons, folders, and widgets.
It has relatively few configuration options – beyond setting the transition speed, homescreen rotation support, opting for a bounce-snap effect or endless looping, there’s nothing much else here (well, backgrounds, of course). The launcher is based on the source code of the stock Gingerbread launcher, but altered and optimised for speed. FTL Launcher takes a different approach – if a feature has the potential to bring the speed down, it won’t be added. I finally found one I’m happy with: the extremely basic and light FTL (Faster Than Light) Launcher.ĪDW, GO, and so on never floated my boat – too many features and bells and whistles, and they had this odd tendency to be slower and laggier than TouchWiz itself, which kind of defeated the whole point of switching launchers.
FTL FASTER THAN LIGHT WALLPAPER INSTALL
I wanted something closer to the stock Android launcher to replace TouchWiz, without actually having to install CyanogenMod (I’m waiting for the ICS-based version 9 before taking that plunge). Ever since my Android review, I’ve been looking for a different launcher for my Galaxy SII.
