Hello,
I am after a home screen launcher that allows swiping between home screen pages in which runs live full screen apps.
1st Page is Google Now
2nd Page is Flipboard App
3rd Page is App Launchers
4th Screen is Google Keep App
5th Home Screen is Whatsapp Messenger
Anything like this available?

Swipepad is an awesome app that lets you swipe from a specified edge of the screen which brings up a page of user specified apps (in the desired order) up to 42 apps per page (via paid addon). You can even have different pages when swiping from a different portion of the screen edge. The app itself is free and allows up to 6x4 grid without the aforementioned addon.
In my search I have yet to find any other app that allows you to access such a huge number of apps - from anywhere - with only a single swipe from the edge of the screen to the app which you want. I took all the apps in my homescreens and put them on a big Swipepad page (using 6x5 grid) which allows me to use only one dockless homescreen with my only two widgets. I also disabled the lockscreen
[edit] I'm not the dev or anything, just sharing this cool app that I found =D

My only issue with this app is that on some occasions an app opened from Swipepad can take up to 3 seconds to open, with a Toast message stating Starting [App Name]. Does anyone know how I can fix this delay by perhaps increasing CPU priority for this app or other means? I'm beyond interested in finding a solution. Might even chase down the dev and offer a big bounty for a fix.

Create new homescreens while adding a shortcut from your drawer. Or use a better launcher!
You just drag an icon/widget to the left or right of the screen to create new pages. You can't purely create blank ones.
Google Now can also be disabled if you don't want to be on the left.
Since the inception of mobile cellular phones with digital color displays, the main home screen has been based on the same basic principal:
A page (or pages) of icons that takes the user to a particular application or tool.
However, this modern day and age, with the evolution of technology and the introduction of the SMART phone - the user interface has not evolved.
With touch screen technology and large screen size on our everyday smart phones, should there be some evolution in the same old icons of applications?
I, ALONG WITH MANY OTHERS, ARE IN SEARCH OF THE ULTIMATE ANDROID HOME SCREEN LAUNCHER.
It can be a home screen launcher app, or a combination of widgets or mods, that make a superb, smart and intuitive user experience.
Looking for? Criteria? Ideals?
Something like "Flow Home" app launcher with Google Now Screen, Flipboard/Blink feed live feed and with widgets that are more like interactive apps. A personal assistant-like AGENDA page, a pebble-like timeline information. Quick google search. Quick launch favorites app - like PIE control. Smart auto categorized apps into easy access folders.
Is there a launcher that has the ability to fully integrate an app such as facebook or flipboard as one "full screen" page? That would be amazing. I would have Google Now or some smart agenda assistant app as the default home page, swipe left is facebook, swipe right is flipboard, and if i do some gesture swipe i get my apps organized by smart or frequency or favourites.
I've tried and tested majority of the well known launchers:
Aviate Launcher - excellent!, my current launcher - looking for smarter/better
Flow Home Launcher - excellent, my second go to launcher - i like their favorites app, PIE control-like button and their "news feed"
Google Now Launcher - basic but i like the google now page and it's "smart" information, and it's integration with google calender, keep as i use this constantly
Nova, APEX, Hola and equivalent - bland, very customization but too simple of rows and columns!
GoLauncher - dislike heavy on colour/animation/memory/cpu usage with same results as NOVA, APEX etc.
ActionLauncher - like NOVA but like their widgets on right-swipe page
SmartLauncher - quick start is all that it offers, smart categories all home screen apps have

I want to pin an app window to the home screen, like a widget, except that it is a live app.
I need this because there are so many applications which do not have any widgets. Instead of opening an app(which I forget most of the time) I would like to have them pinned as a widget which I can easily view while scrolling through the home screens.
There any many Xposed modules, which allow any app to be viewed as a floating window, but don't know how to make widgets out of them.
Any suggestion will be appreciated. Thanks!
i have the same idea from the past a few months since the launch of google go app but i dont know how to do that
i searched all over the internet but i didnt find anything
it will be very useful for the small and mini apps like lite version
hope any developer will refer for our post
