Overview SF Launcher 2 is a complete rewrite of the original SF Launcher developed with Material Design in mind. Unlike most other third-party launchers, which use roughly the same homescreen layout as the default launcher, SF Launcher 2 is designed around a scrolling list of cards, which can contain widgets or apps.
App Drawer and Header Swipe in from the left side of the screen (or tap the menu button in the upper left) to reveal the app drawer. You can change this list of apps to a grid in settings. Long press on the header image to switch between one of twelve cityscapes which change based on the time of day or your current Muzei wallpaper if you have it installed. Long press on the search bar to switch between it and a clock.
Adding and Modifying Cards Tap the overflow menu in the upper right to add widgets and shortcuts or open settings. Once you've added some cards, you can swipe one from its rightmost edge to reveal its options, including the option to delete it. The two arrows on the left move cards up or down, the palette in the middle allows you to change the card's background color (plus users only), and the fourth button allows you to either adjust the height of a widget card or the number of columns of an app card. The red trash can on the far right deletes the card.
Due to all cards being contained within a scrolling list, widgets which contain a scrolling list themselves may not work properly. By default, widget scrolling is disabled, but you can enable it as an experimental feature in Settings > Card List.
Themes In settings, you can switch between light, dark, and wallpaper themes. You can also download third-party themes which add additional themes and headers.
Backup and Restore Starting in SF Launcher 2.1, you can now backup and restore both settings and cards from the Backup and Restore page in settings. Backups are stored in /data/com.jackthakar.sflauncher/backups on your device, and you export backups by long pressing on them to share them elsewhere. SF Launcher can open .sfcfg files and import them into its backups.
Plus Features Now Free for Everyone All users now get access to the additional features previously only available to plus users: • A full palette of color options (including custom color swatches) for the background, app drawer, individual card backgrounds, and the search bar • Third-party icon packs • Third-party SF Launcher themes (which can add new header options, among other things) • Hide unwanted apps from the app drawer • Use album art as your header image and/or use music controls as your header style (instead of a search bar or clock) on Android 5.0+ SF Launcher Plus adds Plus features to both SF Launcher Classic and SF Launcher 2.
Compatibility SF Launcher 2 is designed to work best in Android 5.0+, but most features are compatible with versions back to Android 4.1.

My favorite launcher This is a fantastic launcher is easy to use. The vertical scrolling is a much more natural movement that flipping pages with your thumb. I would like the ability to move the app drawer to the right and to be able to put multiple widgets on the same row, but aside from these minor gripes, it's fantastic and the best I've ever used.
★★★★★
Great :) If It was possible to choose icons across different icon packs I'd consider getting plus. Edit: whether in the header would be nice too
★★★★★
I love SF Launcher 2! it's so unique and does something normally other launchers don't do, the only problem is that the app drawer lags a little while scrolling and that's why I gave 4 stars. If this is fixed I will give it 5 stars. other than that keep up the good work.
★★☆☆☆
Swipe dont works i cant resize a widget and get any options in kitkat 4.4.4...
★★☆☆☆
Deleted ! Cant remove widgets, doesnt appear in dropzone permissions menu, after setting it as deffault and rebooting device just dissapears and stock launcher is back...needs a lot of work, not worth buying Plus for some collors.
★★☆☆☆
Repeatedly crashes. Good launcher, awesome design, but keeps crashing on Android Lollipop. Sad. Also, doesn't work with Zooper widgets. UPDATE: Really sick of it crashing every two minutes. Please roll out an update. And fast.
★★☆☆☆
Would be close to perfect if it worked. The apps don't open 90% of the time from the card menu. Otherwise this would be my go to launcher.
