Other launchers[edit]

HTC Sense, One UI. All of those kind software are "launchers". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.33.115.90 (talk) 19:42, 26 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

list not latest[edit]

list not latest. launchers such as HOLO launcher are not listed — Preceding unsigned comment added by Abhinya (talk • contribs) 08:50, 19 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Also lightning launcher is no longer free and sslauncher developer has changed to total launcher. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2607:FEA8:4EE0:E96:39D4:C718:FBC6:231A (talk) 14:29, 26 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Features table[edit]

Would it make sense to include a Features table? Most of the launchers have features in common, such as hiding apps from the drawer, changing the icons, etc. (Of course, a truly exhaustive table including the "long tail" of features would be impracticable, but the most common ones should cover the great majority of launchers). Thoughts? --Waldir ^talk 14:16, 30 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Inclusion criteria[edit]

We should follow general Wikipedia practice for articles like this (see WP:NOTDIR, WP:LSC and WP:WTAF) and only list launchers that are notable by Wikipedia standards (see WP:GNG). Basically, significant coverage by at least two reliable sources. In practice this means the launcher should get an article first (passing notability requirements) and then add the link here. --Dodi 8238 (talk) 13:22, 18 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Add new launcher[edit]

9 Cards https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fortysevendeg.ninecardslauncher https://github.com/47deg/nine-cards-v2 http://www.9cards.io/

@Shark-oxi: How is this notable? Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 19:54, 18 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Emir of Wikipedia: It uses Moments and this is open-source. Shark-oxi (talk) 16:57, 5 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Shark-oxi: How does that mean it is notable though? Please read WP:CSC. --Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 17:23, 5 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Emir of Wikipedia: Yes 9 cards interface is uncommon and open-source android launcher are rare. That's also rare that android app are built with Scala. So I think this is notable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shark-oxi (talk • contribs)

@Shark-oxi: In Wikipedia notable has a specific meaning as stated at Wikipedia:Notability. Whether it is uncommon or rare is not relevant unless mentioned by the WP:RSs. --Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 20:25, 5 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Emir of Wikipedia: Significant coverage: 100,000 - 500,000, Reliable : open-source so verifiable, Sources & Presumed : no secondary sources but a lot of app here don't have too and that mean wikipedia is only for famous things, Independent of the subject: I am. Why did you reverted my contribution? or why didn't you removed EverythingMe, OpenLauncher that doesn't have any sources? I truly don't understand. --Shark-oxi (talk) 18:27, 26 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Shark-oxi:

What do you mean by 100,000 - 500,000 in regards to significant coverage? App downloads?

What do you mean by Reliable : open-source so verifiable? Whether it is open source or closed source is irrelevant in regards to notability.

If apps here don't have any secondary sources at the moment please add {{citation needed}} (template:citation needed) and if none is given or found then we shall remove them too. Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 18:58, 26 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Pear Launcher and it's irrelevancy[edit]

As stated and done before, Pear Launcher doesn't meet the guidelines for notability, which makes it's entry irrelevant in my opinion and was stated by others in a similar topic before:
"If apps here don't have any secondary sources at the moment please add (..) and if none is given or found then we shall remove them too." Divadsn (talk) 21:18, 13 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
