Overview: Launch-X is a powerful widget for your Android homescreen. It features various customizable configurations to allow very quick access to your favorite applications, contacts or generic shortcuts.

With Launch-X you can maximize the usage of your homescreen space. In fact, instead of having the '4 icons on each row' limitation of the stock Launchers, you can put much, much more in the same space!
There are several configurations options available in Launch-X that let you build a widget that best suits your needs. For example, you can create a widget with multiple screens that contains over 40, 50, 100, or more shortcuts! You can even create a scrollable widget in which you can basically put an unlimited number of items!
You can also decide that you prefer not to use the multi-screens feature, and instead keep a more clean single screen with up to 28 items (4 rows, with 7 icons each).

Features:
NEW: Icons packs support use the tons of icons packs already available for ADW Launcher (EX), LauncherPro and GO Launcher (EX).
NEW: Custom icons you can set a custom icon for each item in your Launch-X widget.

Unlimited widgets You can create and configure as many Launch-X widgets as you need.
Widget sizes You can choose between 2x1, 2x2, 2x3, 3x1, 3x2, 4x1, 4x2, 4x3, 4x4, 5x1 (for Tablets), 5x2 (for Tablets) and 5x3 (for Tablets).
Scrollable widgets You can create a scrollable widget, which allows you to have an unlimited number of items in it.
Items The items that can be added to Launch-X are applications, contacts or generic shortcuts. A shortcut for a contact can start a call, send a message or open the contact itself.
Stack widgets Since Android 3.0 a new widget type has been added: Stack Widgets.
