As part of my new series on getting the most out of customizing your Android device, I figure a big one is changing the Android Launcher (aka the home screen). The easiest way to think of this is that, essentially, the home screen is its own app. Unlike your normal apps that are called by tapping on their icon, the home screen all, called a "launcher", is called every time you hit the home button. It even stores itself in memory in some cases, ready for when you need it again (which is a lot).

And as with most apps running on Android (we'll get more into that later in the series), the launcher can be replaced, nay, supplanted, with a better, faster launcher and there are no shortage of alternatives. Simply typing "launcher" into the Play Store will return a ton of results, each with their own customization options, benefits, and themes. Oh, and don't think these are being used by a minority of people. Some of these launchers have over 100 million downloads, and most have over 1 million.
