Hello Fastlaners,
I've always been a fan of mobile applications and I see a huge potential in them. I've had a few app ideas, but now I'm ready to take the next steps.
I can say that I've tried ALL the home screen launchers from Play Store but I still can't say that I found the perfect one which would fit my preferences. There are a few good launchers with a very good team like GO Launcher, Themer, Buzz Launcher, Everything ME, Aviate but still I am sure that my App Idea would have a lot of new features and a whole new concept.
In my opinion the stock Android launcher isn't keeping up with the fast hardware changes. We can see how fast are smartphones improving but the software isn't getting much of a change. All of the launchers are based on the same principle and there is no one is trying to think outside the box.
About my ideaa: Novus Home Launcher
If I would have choose from the existing launchers, I would say that Aviate is the launcher which has the most in common with my idea but still very far from it. Aviate has the vision of "Intelligent Homescreen" and that's what I want to improve
Novus (means "new" in latin) Home is a new concept of a an Intelligent Homescreen. I think that the tipical home screens and widgets + app launcher is the past. How I see the future of mobile phones and how will Novus be?
Here is my Plan of Action:
I created this post in order to receive more information and feedback about my idea.
So please tell me what do you think about it and also feel free to ask me anything.
Thank you,
Daniel M.

- It is different every time you unlock it! It will be INTELLIGENT. It will know what exactly you want to do at the moment, and if it is wrong, still you will have the most relevant options to choose from. Based on location, time, and application usage the home launcher can anticipate your next move. I know that there are a few tries about this but they are still far from perfection.
- You won't have to leave your Homescreen. You will not be forced to open the application for the most frequent actions like calling someone, texting, adding a task, checking your calendar, wheather, traffic, reading hot and so on. I know, we have widgets, but all widgets are lack of features. Unless you want to do something specific in an application, you won't leave you Novus Home.
- Responsive user interface with beautiful material design. Design and good look is essential for every home launcher. If we want to be competitive we have to have a great design. Material Design is the future of Android design so in order to keep up we have to implement it too.
Here is my Plan of Action:
- (In progress) Presentation website with contact details and a survey.
- Market Research. The survey will contain the information which will help me to decide if my App Idea is feasable and if there is a need for it. Also I will give me other Android users ideas of an "Ideal Homescreen"
- Business Plan. Based on the survey results I will write a detailed Busines Plan of my application idea.
- The Team. In order to find investors in the next step, the project and idea has to have a good, reliable, ambitious and convincing team.
- Fund the project. In order to start developing the app we need to find investors. Crowdfunding could be an option.
