Lawnchair is my personnal choice
+1 for lawnchair. The nightly 15 builds are actually pretty stable, and Thats what Ive been using
Usually I recommend KISS or Kvaesitso, but with the customisation you ask for, maybe Lawnchair?
Maybe have a look at Smart Launcher.
Doesn't seem to be open source.
Which wasn't a point in your original post, though.
Yeah, then I have no idea. I can tolerate Smart Launcher not being open source, because of how good it is.
Wait what's up with nova?
A data mining community bought it in 2022.
It made a lot of users upset and they moved on. I still us it. I paid for it, it did everything I want, and it's sent a whole 25kb of data so far this year. I haven't seen any actually evidence they're doing anything nefarious with it.
I'm open to suggestions too. I stuck with Nova Launcher and disabled its network permission. I can't seem to find anything open source that runs as quickly and enables anywhere close to the customization. I don't see a privacy issue related to Nova selling out (now that it can't touch the Internet).
Have you tried Lawnchair 14/15?
I have not. I just downloaded it and will give it a try! Thanks!
Youre welcome!!
I stuck with it for a long time but it does seem like those bugs are sadly never being fixed. Recently switched to Kvaesitso, it's a bit weird initially but now I've set up a load of app groups/tags I'm pretty pleased with it.
Oh, it's not only me. I've been back to my stock launcher and not happy.
