Hi, I'm new here. Just bought samsung A36, i think UI Home is boring, not organised and i don't like it. How about you all? Mind if you share what launcher are you using or stick to UI home and sorting the apps according to you

Hi there, and welcome! It's great that you're exploring ways to personalize your new Samsung A36. If One UI Home doesn't quite fit your preferences, there are several alternative launchers you might consider:
🔄 Top Android Launchers in 2025
1. *Nova Launcher*: Renowned for its extensive customization options, Nova Launcher allows you to tweak animations, layouts, and icons to your liking. While the free version offers substantial features, the Prime version unlocks advanced functionalities. Despite a reduction in its development team, updates continue under the original developer's guidance.
2. *Niagara Launcher*: Emphasizing simplicity and efficiency, Niagara presents a minimalist interface with a vertical app list, making one-handed navigation seamless. It's particularly favored for its clean design and ease of access.
3. *Smart Launcher 6*: This launcher offers a unique "flower" favorites grid and automatically categorizes apps, streamlining your home screen experience. Its adaptive features make organization effortless.
4. *Microsoft Launcher*: Ideal if you're integrated into Microsoft's ecosystem, this launcher provides a personalized feed with news, calendar events, and documents, along with seamless syncing to Windows PCs.
5. *Square Home*: Inspired by the Windows Phone interface, Square Home utilizes interactive tiles, offering a distinctive and organized layout for your apps and widgets.
6. *Olauncher*: For those seeking a minimalist approach, Olauncher reduces on-screen distractions, promoting focus and potentially aiding in reducing screen time.
🛠️ Tips for Customization
- *Icon Packs*: Many launchers support third-party icon packs, allowing you to change the appearance of your app icons to match your aesthetic.
- *Widgets and Gestures*: Customize your home screen with widgets for quick access to information and set up gesture controls for efficient navigation.
- *Backup and Restore*: Before making extensive changes, consider backing up your current setup. Many launchers offer backup options, making it easy to revert or transfer settings.
