Finally found the launcher I was looking for This was just the launcher I was looking for. One flaw with Android is that in order to open up a new app you have to return to the home screen. That's too many taps. Home Button Launcher (HBL) resolves this issue beautifully. And while other home button swipe-up launchers I checked out offer this feature  the UI and screen customizations in HBL are just better: You can sort apps  control the size of app icons and text  create tabs  change the order of your tabs as well as swipe between them  which is a smart use of Android gestures. I also checked out full-OS launchers like Action Launcher  but none of those let you launch an app while in another app like HBL does. The only bug I've come across is when you select """"""""""""""""No title bar"""""""""""""""" under Settings; when you do that  the Settings button disappears along with the title bar and you can't back to it.""
