Transform your Android device into a full-featured desktop with Leena Desktop UI, a non-root launcher tool.

Effortless Setup and Use

Leena Desktop UI offers an intuitive setup process and user-friendly interface. The application's process is straightforward, enabling even first-time users to easily convert their Android device into a desktop-like environment. The software provides the ability to pair a mouse and keyboard for a more immersive experience. The application can also be connected to a TV screen or monitor, offering a complete desktop experience directly from your smartphone.

Advanced Multitasking

Unlike many other launchers, Leena Desktop UI enables multitasking with multiple apps running simultaneously in separate windows. For instance, users can operate their file explorer and web browser at the same time, with each application running in its own window. This feature mirrors the functionality found on traditional desktop operating systems like Windows or MacOS, enhancing productivity and usability.

Inclusive Native Apps

Upon launching Leena Desktop UI, users will find several native apps readily available. The launcher comes equipped with a file manager, video player, image viewer, and browser, all seamlessly integrated within the interface. Each app window can be adjusted easily, providing a flexible and customizable user experience.

Value for All Users

Leena Desktop UI is a highly versatile launcher that offers valuable features for all users. It is particularly beneficial for those seeking to project their Android device onto a larger screen or TV, transforming the mobile platform into a desktop experience with ease.

Potentially dangerous permissions

  • ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION: Allows an app to access precise location. Alternatively, you might want ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION.
  • READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE: Allows an application to read from external storage.
  • WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE: Allows an application to write to external storage.

Other permissions

  • ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE: Allows applications to access information about networks.
  • BIND_APPWIDGET: Allows an application to tell the AppWidget service which application can access AppWidget's data. The normal user flow is that a user picks an AppWidget to go into a particular host, thereby giving that host application access to the private data from the AppWidget app. An application that has this permission should honor that contract.
  • BLUETOOTH: Allows applications to connect to paired bluetooth devices.
  • BLUETOOTH_ADMIN: Allows applications to discover and pair bluetooth devices.
  • INTERNET: Allows applications to open network sockets.
  • WAKE_LOCK: Allows using PowerManager WakeLocks to keep processor from sleeping or screen from dimming.
  • WRITE_SETTINGS: Allows an application to read or write the system settings.
  • android.permission.STORAGE
  • com.android.browser.permission.READ_HISTORY_BOOKMARKS
  • com.android.vending.BILLING
