I was looking at trying an alternate launcher for my phone. At first, I took at a look at
Launcher Pro, but it requires more permissions than I am comfortable granting for an application launcher. For example, it requests permission for read and write access to my email. I am sure that this is required for a Gmail widget, but since I wouldn't use this widget, and Launcher Pro also has network access, there is a potential for my data to leave the phone.
Instead, it looks like
ADW.Launcher does everything that I want in a launcher, without requesting too many permissions. It also has some interesting features:
- Support for themes
- Customizable dock bar and application drawer
- Support for different sizes for widgets
The main thing I like about it is that it doesn' t request too many permissions, so there is less of a security concern.
