Again, this is a home replacement app that you install from the market. As you can already see from the images below it is like nothing you have probably seen before. It gives your home screens a magazine style look with unlimited customization possibilities. When you first install the app and launch it for the first time you might be a bit lost. The launcher will set itself up to a stock layout for you to start playing around with. Just like the first image in the photos.
It offers 8 various animations for page effects, type of transition and speed of transition. Not to mention import of .ttf font files, icons, images and even theme packages. You can alter text size and text font individually or set specific types for small, medium or large. Of course you can also add, delete and rename pages to your liking. Take a look a quick video below by ZachhFrosty.
It really is a completely emersive experience that I have spent hours tweaking and designing on. Silly me though, I cleared it all and forgot to save it to show everyone. It is very light on battery use and gives you a look and layout that really makes your phone different. We could break down every single feature and setting, but that would take forever. More of you are interested in getting your hands on it and playing around. You can find the QR code below to click on or scan. The app is free and has since been updated twice in just the last week. Which means the developer is actively involved in its progression. After you get it installed you will easily spend a good hour making changes and learning all the various settings that are available. We would love to see what you come up with, so send over your home screens to our Twitter or G+ accounts.

I think that ssLauncher is hurting itself by using the magazine look as it’s selling point, when it’s real advantage is that it’s completely customizable and if you want to spend the time involved, you will get exactly the launcher you want, anything from a list of apps to just a big clock. It’s quite impressive and enjoyable and I really don’t know why it doesn’t have 40 themes already built for it.
