Nokia has got a new Android launcher named Z Launcher
The Finnish manufacturer for smartphones and tablets, Nokia, acquired by Microsoft has made its feet back to the Android platform, with the announcement of a homescreen replacement launcher for the operating system, dubbed as the new Z Launcher.
The application is now available to download via a Limited Pre-Beta Release or in an initial Alpha version, by signing-up with a Google account, from the source link you see below. So, basically the application or launcher for your smartphones homescreen is said to have "the right apps at the right time". Nokias new Z Launcher will basically learn the habits, behavior and the way how an user uses his/her smartphone and will act accordingly and promote your favorite applications, right on the homescreen so you can get it faster than ever before, when you want it. The screen of your smartphone will change based on everydays life and timing, for instance, the launcher will start assisting you at different time periods in a day and night with six different applications, that you are tend to use at that certain time.
There is also that new feature or gesture control coming with the new Z Launcher, where you can scribble or draw the first letter of a specific application within the handset to bring up a list of apps, urls and contacts starting with the alphabet. You can also find a dock down below, with default apps from smartphone like, phone, messaging, browser, camera and the application drawer, where you can find all other apps from the smartphone listed in the alphabetical order.
As for the availability, to be clear, only a limited number of downloads are available at the moment, but unfortunately, it will not support on any of the rooted smartphones out there. Anyways, Nokia has promised us to offer their fresh launcher to everyone, later this year. From the reads, its mentioned that the Z Launcher is specially optimized for popular Android running devices including, LG Google Nexus 5, Samsung Galaxy S5, Galaxy S4, Galaxy S3, Motorola Moto X, HTC One and Sony Xperia Z1. The app currently supports only English language.
