Configuring Google Launcher!
Its been a while since Google rolled out the app launcher. In this post, I am going to show you how to customize Google launcher. This customization might be unnecessary for users who rarely use app launcher, but for users who use it regularly this customization is quite handy. For instance, Bloggers want to access “Blogger” app but for that they have to scroll down for it, But if you can customize it you can even add your favorite Non-Google sites to the launcher.
