Goal

Our primary objective was to revamp the system launcher, incorporating a fresh and modern design that seamlessly adapts to various screen sizes while enhancing product stability & productivity.

What is a system launcher?

A system app is pre-installed software that comes bundled with the manufacturer’s operating system on a device. A launcher functions as the user interface and home screen replacement for the operating system. System launchers are included by device manufacturers, while third-party launchers are available for download.

Stage 1

Our journey began with the primary goal of refactoring and enhancing app performance. We have identified and worked on the following:

bugs in production;
low-quality code;
obsolete architecture & technologies.

Upon the client’s recognition of the need for rebranding and updating the outdated design, our team, with deep app knowledge, eagerly undertook the new task.

Stage 2

New design implementation spanned around 2 months, during which we not only incorporated new screen designs but also replaced old technologies with new ones wherever feasible. Given that Rand One launcher is a system app, we significantly emphasized its code quality enhancement, recognizing the inevitability and higher frequency of user interactions with system-level applications compared to random apps.
