Overview

Rovers Floating Launcher is an efficient application that simplifies navigation on your Android device by providing quick access shortcuts. It enables users to create a tailor-made control panel containing shortcuts and widgets for frequently used applications and features, irrespective of their location on the device.

Efficiency and Usability

The primary functionality of Rovers Floating Launcher is to offer a streamlined method for accessing any item on your device with a single click. This app launcher provides a comprehensive solution for managing favorite applications, folders, and widgets, which transforms the way users navigate through their Android devices.

Customizability

The degree of customizability offered by Rovers Floating Launcher is truly exceptional. Users have the freedom to choose any color for the menu and icons, an element that enhances accessibility by making it easier to locate items. This level of customization ensures that the app caters to personal preferences, thereby improving user experience.

Design and Interface

Upon installation, Rovers Floating Launcher displays a small floating window, which can be conveniently positioned anywhere on the screen. This window doesn't obstruct usage and opens up to reveal all your shortcuts when clicked. To remove a shortcut, simply drag and drop it outside the colored line for automatic deletion.

With Rovers Floating Launcher, the hassle of searching through folders and windows to find frequently used apps, shortcuts, or widgets is eliminated. It serves as a valuable tool for maximizing available space, especially when adding new widgets or icons to pre-existing ones on the device. The launcher's intuitive design offers a comfortable, simple, and discreet solution for organizing your device.

Other permissions

  • ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE: Allows applications to access information about networks.
  • GET_TASKS: This constant was deprecated in API level 21. No longer enforced.
  • INTERNET: Allows applications to open network sockets.
  • KILL_BACKGROUND_PROCESSES: Allows an application to call killBackgroundProcesses(String).
  • RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED: Allows an application to receive the ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED that is broadcast after the system finishes booting. If you don't request this permission, you will not receive the broadcast at that time. Though holding this permission does not have any security implications, it can have a negative impact on the user experience by increasing the amount of time it takes the system to start and allowing applications to have themselves running without the user being aware of them. As such, you must explicitly declare your use of this facility to make that visible to the user.
  • SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW: Allows an app to create windows using the type TYPE_SYSTEM_ALERT, shown on top of all other apps. Very few apps should use this permission; these windows are intended for system-level interaction with the user.
  • VIBRATE: Allows access to the vibrator.
  • WAKE_LOCK: Allows using PowerManager WakeLocks to keep processor from sleeping or screen from dimming.
