Download Jolla (Sailfish) Launcher APK for Android

Jolla recently started the alpha testing of its Jolla Launcher for Android. Jolla Launcher provides the users with a Sailfish OS like experience on their Android devices. Now because it is just a launcher and not the whole OS, it only provides access to the lockscreen, multitasking view, pulley menu and the app grid. The launcher also changes a few icons from the app grid and replaces them with the original icons from Sailfish to give a more Sailfish-like UI.

So there can be a lot of bugs in the launcher and it also tends to crash at random intervals. If you are looking for a more stable experience, you should wait for them to release the beta or the final version of the launcher.
