Where Does Action Launcher Store Layouts?
Action Launcher keeps home layouts, icon packs, and gesture settings locally with optional backup. Export settings before switching phones.
Last updated
Action Launcher skins Android from local storage first. Home layouts with covers and shutters, icon packs, gestures, and widgets persist per install with backup files for moves. Pixel-style features arrive without Pixel phones.
That makes the backup file the migration unit. Exact folder names may vary by version. Plus unlocks full theming; free covers the popular layouts. Folders organize drawers neatly. All-apps search finds fast. Icon scaling suits eyes. Dock pages swipe smoothly. Widget resizing snaps precisely.

Frequently asked questions
How do I back up Action Launcher settings?
Open settings and export the configuration backup file, then import it on the new phone. Layouts, gestures, and icon packs travel in the file. Widgets need re-adding per launcher version.
How do covers and shutters work?
Assign swipe actions per icon in the layout editor for hidden shortcuts. Covers double-tap screen lock and app shortcuts. Test gestures after importing backups.
