Any Android users use Launcher 10 on their phones?

[DrNitun]

Hello,

This is the closest thing I found to our Win10 mobile UI. Yes it has its limitations but I am hoping the developer can reduce that.

If you are using Launcher 10, please post a screenshot! It will remind me and countless others the glory days when we had those "Take a screen shot of your home screen on Win10 mobile". I always enjoyed looking at them.

Thanks,
Nate

I've tried a number of 'windows' launchers' for my S8+, and settled on Launcher 10 over a year ago. It has become much more stable, and looks as good as my old, beloved 950 XL...

I actually thought about installing one of these launchers today and seeing how I fared with it. But I worry that it won't be able to replicate the experience completely and so I would be left wanting.

I've been using Microsoft Launcher, which is actually a fantastic launcher over all and looks pretty great. But it isn't Windows 10 Mobile, by any means. I've considered messing around with Launcher 10, but I'm not sure how I'd feel about something that's "almost" there, and doesn't have the same level of integration into Microsoft's services that I can still get with Microsoft Launcher.

I also use the Microsoft Launcher and I am happy with it. That's why I am skeptical to use one of these apps that are supposed to mimic the look and feel of Windows Phone.

Exactly my thought. I still have a few Windows phones around and recently boot up my Lumia 640 XL (my 950 is dedicated to another...project). It looks great, and has even gotten some of the new Office icons. But it's very, very different to Android. I just can't see how a Launcher alone would do the trick.

So far, it doesn't. It's like trying to turn a Toyota into a Ferrari by changing the badge.

Does myradar actually show local radar in tile like W10M? I have myradar tile on my 950XL home screen and use daily.

No it does not. That is one major disappointment. There are a couple of widgets available, but all they show are the temp and current conditions -- no radar.

It will never be possible to perfectly replicate a Windows Phone on anything other than, yep, a Windows Phone.

I thought so, bummer. I've used myradar on android and the widget does not display current current radar.. Another bummer. I've become accustomed to Having real time radar on my home screen. Very useful.

Is that Calendar tile from Outlook for Android?

 

[DrNitun]

Adventurer64,

No unfortunately. It is the Nine calendar app which I had it be synced with outlook.com.

Thanks,
Nate

I've been using SquareHome3 for almost a year, very similar and stable. Live photo tile from my camera gallery and contacts mini tiles.

No live radar but I found a shortcut tile to opens directly to a radar with forecast.

Nice home screen! I believe this is launcher 10. I used Square Home 3 for awhile on my V20 and found it to be laggy, especially with more widgets. I like the look shown here better than anything I was able to achieve with SH3. There's tons of settings in SH3, but I don't think the look above can be achieved.
