Nova launcher has a long list of die-hard fans, thanks to its highly customizable nature and an endless variety of features. Play Store now hosts a handful of launchers similar to the Google Pixel framework and Customized Pixel Launcher (CPL) is one of them. The CPL launcher aims to reimagine the Pixel design with a minimalist look and the right set of features.
Here Are Some Of The Differences And Similarities With The Two Launchers.
