I tend to switch every month or two between Kvaetsivo and IAO, which is my main driver now. I find it handy and hihgly configurable.

Didn’t Say it was cool, but it was still usable.

KISS is nice but to my taste Kvaesitso is more polished and I enjoy the way it handles widgets as a page you slide up very quickly.

Kvaesitso, a really great and elegant launcher for Android.

MinCal Widget nice tiny calendar widget
