Since it's not mentioned, I use Before Launcher to help reduce phone usage. It still has some customization, folders, and a notification filter to block out noise.
Before launcher is my favorite minimalist launcher. It's very simple and easy to use
I've been using the Arc Launcher for years now, purely for the reason that it looks rad as FUK. Probably better functioning launchers out there, but Arc Launcher looks cool lol
Evie launcher. It's dead now, but I love it
Pie launcher from f-droid, before I used KISS, but it's too slow for me. Pie is more minimalistic, APK size is literally 150KiB and minimum android version is 2.3
Marshmallow Launcher.
I got annoyed with how HTC and especially Samsung did their UI, and switched to something that looked familiar and the second feature I looked for was the option to lock the icons.
It's the best using your own launcher when you switch phone your desktop just looks the same.
I've been using Apex launcher for years
lawnchair, stopped using it after buying a Samsung tho, i really like the oneui home.
love the ability to rearrange and organize the app list as well as the homescreen.
lacks customization options tho...
I used Nova for years, but it felt increasingly outdated so I switched to Action Launcher. Then it too started to feel outdated after a few years so I switched to Smart Launcher, which I've been loving. I miss AL's side drawer but SL has a lot to offer if you want something slick and simple, with custom widgets and layouts. I recommend you check it out!
Bit of an odd one, but after the Nova Launcher fiasco I tried several launchers also listen in this thread but landed on Hyperion Launcher in the end. Simple, clean and supports icon themes. Did the trick for me.
Bliss launcher for the win
