Gingerbread Launcher on Android 2.2 Froyo

After installing the app, you will lose all shortcuts on home screen. You need to start from blank home screen. We have tested this app on the Motorola Droid and Samsung Galaxy S. It runs great on both. No problem in it working. Anytime you feel that you need old launcher back, just uninstall the app. Your home screen will be reverted to the old one and all your shortcuts on the home screen will be restored.

One of the most positive points of this little upgrade is that you don’t need to have a rooted phone. Using this app, you can experience the future that Gingerbread has in store on your unrooted Android Phone.

“Gingerbread Launcher” is available in Android market. On your android phone, launch market and search for “gingerbread launcher” by MoDaCo and you will find it easily. As with all things unreleased officially, some will experience bugs on certain handsets.
