- There are many cool Android launchers/home screens out there. We have previously looked at Stario Launcher, but the world of launchers is far wider than that.
This time we take a look at a launcher called Kvaesitso. Despite its strange naming, it's a pretty cool project. Kvaesitso is a free and open source Android launcher with an emphasis on widgets and a global search, but does it do these things well or is it let down by lacking functionality?

This app is very good and very beautiful, the only problem is that it drains a lot of battery
Update, I uninstalled and installed the app again and now the battery consumption is normal (it's even using less battery than the standard launcher.)
@@Fhannycopia3 just discovered this app, and coming from nova, i think this is a good alternative. runs smoothly on my lgv50. just wish i can access the widgets from above (scroll down) and pull app drawer from below (scroll up)
@@Fhannycopia3 Does Kvaesitso launcher drain battery now? I tried it today and it was consuming my battery like crazy. Really wanted to use it but seeing the battery usage I removed it.
@@khunii2188 it's a bug, uninstall it and install it again
Thanx for this video!
I am from India and its weather widget don't work well here. Can you suggest me any way to fix it.
Choose "HERE" service for weather. It didn't work immediately in my case. It took few hours for the widget to start working after I've set it up.
is it safe ..? like giving permissions and all is that safe ?
the entire app is open source. you can inspect the code and build it yourself. and Android launchers always request a lot of permissions. take a look at Smart Launcher 6.
Yes it is
Its open source. Its as safe as you will get.
Cant we add some items on desktop? Main screen? Really?
There is the configurable favourites section, which can be added to the home screen. You can pin any apps that you want and they will show on top of the app menu and on the widget on the home screen. The launcher can also include apps based on how often they are used.
