I’ve always used custom launchers on Android. The stock launchers like One UI Home and Launcher3 just don’t cut it for me.
Despite that, I’m hard pressed to find any open-source launcher that meets my expectations like Smart Launcher does.
Any suggestions?
There is Lawnchair, which is a stock-experience while still being extremely customizable, and Kvaesitso, which is search based and might be worth checking out if you want to try something different. Can you share which features you are interested in, so we can give more relevant recommendations ?
Second Lawnchair. AFAIK it’s the only FOSS launcher that supports Graphene OS’ Private Space.
Notably in the release from GitHub, not from Play
I want gesture support so badly like in Nova Launcher.
Swipe up for one app, swipe down for another app, etc.
smart launcher does exactly one gesture (double tap) and is woefully inadequate for me.
Does lawn chair offer that?
I’m seeing a “Gestures” section in Lawnchair which has the following:
Each one of them has the following options:
Not sure if this are the exact names they show up in english, though
You made the Internet wonderful today. Thank you! I’m going to try it out.
Oh no, don’t thank me - thank Lawnchair devs! Their launcher is actually great (well at least for me it is, hope that it is for you too).
Seconding Lawnchair. Great FOSS launcher.
I’m mostly fine with any launcher, as long as you can put apps in folders in the app launcher, as well as hiding some apps altogether. Lawnchair looks interesting and I’ll check it out
