Google Now is a launcher/search engine.
Pierre Hébert Love the range of actions I can call from an item.
10.7.4b Lollipop 5.0.2
After installing this version, I found I had to reboot to lock LLX in as default launcher otherwise it would default back to the Google launcher after using any app.

Gestures! .. one of LLX’s many hidden gems.

I see the gesture-based interface as the next generation of interaction. No other android launcher that I know of can allow me to set up my desktop the way I have as shown in the picture (with one of LLX gesture menu screens shown on right)
I use gestures to launch all my most used apps from this desktop … no icons anywhere. Add the ability to user gestures to call scripts, folders etc and you can do almost anything.
LLX is like Aladdin’s Cave .. when you first enter it seems empty .. but as you start to explore you find all these hidden treasures.

Here’s what I don’t get.
On Play store LLX is listed as having ~10k installs. By comparison Nova launcher is listed at ~10,000k installs. LLX is rarely, if ever, mentioned in a review of launchers and when it is the review is, imo, way off the mark … leaving the impression that LLX is complex and for the “experts”.
If the intent is to keep LLX in a small community then it has a passionate and dedicated community .. but if wider exposure is desired then I think Carolyn Boyle hit it in a post I remember …. MARKETING. Better marketing is required.

Also this sort of idea where the pen represents the script writing capability. I feel the LLX icon needs to capture the user/developer interface that other launchers lack … whether hand, pen etc.

What makes LLX unique is that it can be programmed, customised etc. These sort of images (only as an example) I feel better capture the dynamics of LLX. The hand represents the user/programmer who has “forged” and is launching the lightning bolt which represents the LLX desktop framework to be created
