I’ve seen quite a few launchers on F-Droid, but I really fail to see what their advantages over the stock one are. I mean, what can be meaningfully different about arranging apps in a grid? But I guess the existence of so many options goes to show I just don’t get the gist of it.
So what launchers actually provide some interesting features that make it worth switching to them?
i don’t mind a grid, but i don’t like it. i use Microsoft launcher (not open source) specifically because you can place the icons at half grid space. so i stagger them (each column is offset by half grid space). you also get daily Bing backgrounds, for as long as the launcher is active, and that is pretty cool too.
