Re: Does buying an alternative launcher make your phone not "stoc
It is still stock and is not rooted. The only thing that is different is the launcher you are using...on your non rooted stock ROM. My apologies for the very basic "non techy" answer.

Android is meant to be customized - launcher, keyboard, dialer, etc. I think most people's opinion of not being "stock" is rooting and installing a custom ROM.
