Last week's poll summary: Over 4,200 of our readers voted, and it turns out 26% said their favorite weather application is Weather Timeline. Coming in at a close second is AccuWeather with 20%, and 19% said they use Google Now for all their forecasting needs.

Customizability has been one of the most important facets of Android since its provenance. Don’t like your browser? Try setting a new one as your default. Aren’t a fan of the stock camera app on your phone? You can change that, too.

This is also the case for your phone’s launcher. There are tons of great third-party Android launchers in the Play Store, and the majority of them bring a level of customization that just can’t be achieved by vanilla Android. Nova Launcher has been a favorite in the Android community for years; it’s customizable and super fast. There are also apps like Action Launcher and Yahoo’s Aviate Launcher that try to shake up the way we use our home screens. Google Now Launcher is also popular among many folks out there. It might not be as customizable as the rest, but it’s still a simple, fast option for many.
