Launchers are always popular for Android fans who want to extend the customization of their interfaces. With Android 5.0 Lollipop expanding to more devices this year, some developers are seeing a new opportunity to create new launchers that are in keeping with the design principles of Google’s Material Design guidelines and that take advantage of new APIs in Lollipop. One of those developers is the group behind HomeUX that hopes to produce a launcher that is “simplistic, yet highly functional.” They are currently soliciting additional beta testers for the latest version of HomeUX that is in development.
HomeUX promises to give users a new take on folder integration and organization, an “ultra clean interface,” new color themes that change, intuitive controls via swipe gestures, and a variety of advanced functionality like tap-and-hold shortcuts and quick access buttons.
In order to participate as a beta tester, users must have a device running Android Lollipop. They will need to join the HomeUX Beta Testers Google+ community for more information. The development team is trying to exert some control over the beta testing process, thus the reason for approval being needed before users can join the beta testing program.
The developer, Dravite Ltd., has setup a placeholder in the Google Play Store if you want to check it out and go ahead and purchase the app knowing the final Pro version is still forthcoming.
