1. KISS Launcher
As the developer say “KISS Launcher allows Android users to simplify the home of their interface, to purify their screens and access the functions they need as quickly and as simply as possible.” KISS Launcher does that for sure. It is lightweight and has very minimal battery and RAM consumption. The home screen consists of your most used apps and contacts. A search bar is also available at the bottom which lets you search whatever you are looking for. It gets better over time.
