Splay is a new user interface that either replaces or complements the existing home menu of a device, and it has been successfully ported to Android OS.

It’s a free level menu system and a launcher that offers a wide variety of options to a user with the use of a single thumb. There are four categories under the interface’s main menu: Apps, Diary, Media, and Phone, and laying a thumb on any expands a sub-menu where a user can choose a sub-category and then an app to play or tinker with.
A previous menu is recalled by sliding the thumb to the right or the main menu by dragging it to a blank portion. This used to be part of the First Else phone made by Emblaze but the phone’s release remains uncertain for now, thus the decision to integrate Splay on Android devices. There’s a lot of refining needed though and apps integration is being sought.
The Splay Launcher has a minimal interface and provides intuitive navigation as well as smooth transitions. For the downside, a force-close occasionally occurs, no tweaks have been provided and the launcher may curtail certain lists (songs, call logs, etc.). However, its integration with the Android elements such as calendar and photo albums is exceptional. Download it now for free on Google Play.
