Hi Guys. WE have already experience when Launcher set as default in ANdroid for Orange Pi boards was not the best choice which could be selected before compile it.

I decided to create this thread-poll in order to find out what community likes the most and what is best to incorporate in next releases of Android for Orange Pi boards.

I personnaly believe that good choice will make Android on Orange Pi very popular--so please, if not sure--go to https://play.google.com and check on each Launcher and make your choice.

THe Winner will be chosen and hopefully set as default.

I also chosen Google Now. Agree--there are many good launchers out there which are worth to have look at.

Also I think there is possible to use Double Launcher.

I liked how it is organized at MK808B PLUS device. If you like Desktop--you chose LAuncher3, if you want it too look more like multimedia device--also is possible to use another launcher. Probably is the most middle gold solution.

Here on video is possible to see that Android Stick has double launcher:

Use Google products on Google products.  They are more tested and probably a lot more stable.
Why is GooglePlay services missing?

This is not really straight forward thing. It really depends a lot of one's usage of the board. I voted Smart launcher 2 as I use it in my phone and quite like it, but I would never even consider it to a media centre whit out touch screen.

Apex for me. Really customisable e.g. set icon size & grid size/spacing. Can create TV type set up or whatever is needed.

I'm a fan of Nova myself.
Currently playing around with OPis, RPis and CHIPs.

360 Launcher-Fast, Free Themes and Hola Launcher are both good. There are the background app running under left corner. It's a good design for knowing your multi-task working. On desktop computer or laptop computer operation behavior, it's not like TV operation style. It heavily rely on mouse for any method to operate computer. It is also not like mobile phone. The mobile phone has touch panel to replace your cursor. I hope the new Launcher have both interfaces, one for TV and one for desktop. It can switch both style easily and smoothly.
One complains on current official Android launcher that is on this. You can't confirm when you click mouse right it's exactly exiting running or just hiding behind screen. The orange pi this MCU must be like windows not just originally for phone, tablet or TV operation behavior. It adds some elements such as windows like for being better operation as computer.
