This Launcher Manager was built from the heart by a multi-launcher user like yourself. This tool (may) also help users get 3rd party launchers working on devices that prevent users from using another launcher over the default launcher (ex: Miui, Emui). Launcher Ops was designed for the next generation of android while giving users the tools to manage their launcher apps.

Launcher Ops uses a feature called "Deepsight" that allows users to dive deep into the applications manifest and presents the user information that may not be available to see from the Google play store listing or any app info viewer. We live in an age where Launcher Apps are numerlously available on the playstore but which ones are safe to use? Launcher Ops digs deep into permission usages, live services, detects exposed activities, detects ads or micro transactions and lets you know how it feels about the Launcher App by grading it in detail. Launcher Ops uses a grading scale that is closely related to guidelines and requirements met by the android community. Some "popular" launchers may score low but doesn't mean they arn't safe to use, just helps users make better choices! Launcher Ops is a tool to help users weed out spammy launchers or clones!

Storage Management Permission is used for the Discovery Tab. Once a user creates a favorites list, a physical file is created and stored on the users Documents directory on their device. This file can be shared or manually edited with others. If the file does not exist, this tab stays in in-active as well as the ability to gain access to read/write to that directory. If you don't use that feature, than access to your storage is not available to Launcher Ops.
