The iOS-inspired MIUI custom ROM for Android is known for its cosmetic flexibility and an impressive assortment of native apps. Android users with root access on their devices are often found yearning for said apps when an unstable build of the ROM (or a certain preference) forces them to shift to another one. Apparently, once you get used to the ROM, it’s hard to let go. Now, users without rooted / MIUI-supported devices or those using other custom ROMs can enjoy the ROM’s native launcher – well, actually, the next best thing – a clone of the launcher. XDA-Devleopers member Vipitus has modified the free home screen replacement app QQLauncher (AKA TencentDesktop) to a remarkably accurate replica of the MIUI native launcher.
Like MIUI’s native launcher, this clone too has no app drawer. All apps are present on the home screen and can be grouped into folders for convenience. To add a folder to the home screen, hold down on an empty space on the screen and select Folder from the menu that appears (alternatively, hit Menu > Add > Folder). Pinch to zoom out or select Menu > Previews to edit the order of existing home screens or to add new ones. Holding down on a widget / icon / folder or selecting Menu > Edit allows you to remove or alter the arrangement of widgets, icons and folders (if empty) and uninstall apps directly from the home screen
Head on over to the app’s XDA-Developers forum thread to download its APK.
