2022 年15款最佳 Android 启动器应用(Best Android Launchers Apps)
Play 商店(Play Store)中有许多启动器，它们具有多种功能，可以帮助您在Android设备上完成无数事情。为了帮助您节省时间、精力和精力来决定最好的 Andoird 启动器应用程序，以下是我尝试整理的一些最好的应用程序，供您使用，具体如下：
1. 新星发射器
Nova Launcher是(Nova Launcher)Google Play 商店(Google Play Store)中首批且无疑是最好的Android启动器应用程序之一。它从过去的美好时光就已经存在，甚至比我们大多数人使用Android的时间还要长。我们中的许多人甚至无法理解它的存在，并且可以相信自Android应用程序启动器出现以来就一直存在。
它是一款快速、高效、轻量级的应用程序，其开发团队不断更新，消除错误和错误，通过不断添加新功能使其变得越来越好。它有免费版和高级版。高级版是收费的，适用于更专业的用户。免费版本足够好，有很多功能。
它的自定义功能使您可以完全根据您的选择构建一个简单而美丽的主屏幕，其中包含颜色控制选项，它是独特、稳定和可靠的，就像您希望它的外观和感觉一样。它让您的手机看起来更加像素化，完全轻松优雅。您的主屏幕布局可以存储在备份中，同时更轻松地切换到新设备。
该应用程序的手势控制包括滑动、捏合、双击等手势。它支持停靠自定义，并具有可自定义的应用程序抽屉，其中包含新选项卡或文件夹、备份和恢复选项，以及将常用应用程序显示为应用程序抽屉顶行的选项。
它的功能如图标包支持、布局和主题、隐藏从未使用过的应用程序和从其他启动器导入布局、用于在应用程序快捷方式或文件夹上滑动的自定义操作、触摸向导(Wiz)、完全删除标签的工具、通知徽章等等使它保持生机勃勃。
为了不断升级其功能，它现在还引入了深色主题功能。凭借大量无与伦比的功能、出色的备份和袖珍王牌子网格定位，这款Android应用程序已成名，是移动行业中排名第一的应用程序启动器。
凭借大量的专业人士名单，我想到的唯一缺点是它是一款压倒性的应用程序，主题化可能需要一段时间才能使应用程序更具影响力，因为它已经充满了任何人都能想到的各种功能。

在其他自定义选项中，它向下滑动到“打开通知”。它的应用程序大小的个性化界面和出色的手势控制功能，您可以使用它打开应用程序是它的更多功能。
它最近更新了新功能，让您可以自由选择搜索引擎；锁定主屏幕图标的能力，在其搜索功能中，它可以显示更多本地结果。打开通知功能也是最近的更新。
简而言之，Evie启动器可以说是目前市场上最好的免费Android启动器。它也适用于Android启动器领域的新手，这是第一次在智能手机上定制软件体验的非常好的平台。
唯一的缺点是它不再积极开发，这意味着它不会再获得新的更新，而且如果出现错误，也没有人修复。

您可以自定义应用程序，因为它提供完全可自定义的支持，并且充满了人们可以想到的大量选项。您可以通过无数独特的方式根据您的选择更改主屏幕，数以百万计的主题和图标包可供您下载。
Smart Launcher 5及其应用程序抽屉功能是真正的抢镜者。借助其侧边栏，应用程序抽屉自动将应用程序划分为各种类别，并以一种简洁的方式对它们进行相应的排序，使事情变得更加简单并提高了易用性。
要在其专业版或高级版中添加此功能，它使您可以根据需要灵活地自定义类别。它还为您提供了多种方式来对各种抽屉选项卡进行排序，例如，最常用的应用程序或安装时间或基于图标颜色。
通过其超沉浸式模式，您可以隐藏导航栏，从而在屏幕上腾出更多空间。应用程序的环境主题，基于壁纸，改变主题颜色。该应用程序在免费版本中对手势的支持有限。尽管如此，在高级版付款时，它解锁了许多顶级、出色的手势，尤其是用于停靠应用程序的双击快捷方式，这被认为比Nova启动器中的滑动应用程序快捷方式领先几英里。
作为一个社区驱动的项目，它会不断定期更新，以了解最新情况，为其用户提供有益、丰富的体验。智能(Smart)启动器 5 还支持最新的 Android应用(Application)程序界面(Interface)和所有新设备。应用程序的环境主题会根据壁纸改变主题颜色。
这个启动器在开发时考虑到了用户的良好品味，但唯一的缺点是它支持应用程序抽屉中免费版本的广告，这是一个主要的不喜欢，因为它们是主要的注意力转移。其次，它不允许主屏幕顶部的图标，第三，高级版或专业版在使用其功能时可能会相当混乱。

此应用程序启动器与数字助理和其他服务（如电子邮件和Microsoft PC(Microsoft PCs) ）集成。其高度活跃的开发人员团队已经开发出智能页面和整洁干净的主屏幕。该应用程序非常快，并且可以选择删除过渡动画以提高速度。
最后，它的名字有很多优点，唯一明显的弱点是它的两级可扩展坞站选项，有点令人困惑和古怪。其次，在 2017 年重新命名后，其设置需要细化，以避免一些错误潜入的可能性。
这些缺点导致该应用程序从其高度宣称的“A 级”alpha 位置跌至 beta 状态。开发团队正在重建应用程序，以便新版本帮助它恢复往日的辉煌。
