Launcher recommendation
(lemmy.one)
Neo Launcher, working for me. Try playing with these options
Sadly its buggy for me. The search function just searches for either web or apps. I have fiddled around with everything.
I use Neo launcher and then have KISS launcher for searching.
How do you use two launchers at the same time?
Have you tried lawnchair?
Yep, the widgets can not be resized to be very small, compare with Neo launcher and you'll see the difference.
How important is having app icons and pages for you? If its something you're willing to compromise with then I would suggest mLauncher. Its very minimal but it's almost entirely searched based. I wasn't too keen on the idea at first but I have gotten used to it and it feels very fast and efficient overall.
I tried it now. I want the option of having widgets on my homescreen, I did not see that option. And from my point of view, the search functionality is not anywhere near Kvaesitso or Kisslauncher.
Kvaesitso launcher
I have tried it but it has no second page and no widgets on the home screen without a swipe, can you tell me how you did these two?
I am not sure what you mean by second page, but widgets can be added in home screen when toggle of "fill the entire screen height" from settings under clocks section.
Launcher3. Many custom ROMs make awesome enhancements to Launcher3, particularly SuperiorOS and Project Elixir. But even Lineage has a usable, although less customizable, version of Launcher3.
AIO launcher is simple and clean and functional. Try it: https://aiolauncher.app/
Is this FOSS?
I don't know...ask maintainer.
I currently use Square Home. Its the Windows Phone / W8 Metro UI. I have widgets, search, and multiple pages.
I can't find any source code for that through a quick search. Please note that this is a community for free and open source Android software. Many of us here don't endorse closed source software at all.
This is just a heads-up. I'm not going to remove this.
Shit didn't realize the community! My bad!
Don't worry about it. โค๏ธ This is the Fediverse, not Reddit. I hate powermods, but a thread should at least stay somewhat on topic.
I like squarehome quite a bit, is it actually FOSS? If it is I'd love to get a project link. Trying to cut ties with the Play Store if at all possible
I tried to find it on github, is it FOSS?
Ruthless launcher
I can only find a GitHub page for translations for Ruthless Launcher. Is it actually FOSS? Please note that this is a community for free and open source Android software.
I can't get the searchbar to show results for apps and at the same time offer to search the web.
