I used to use Neo Launcher as an open source replacement for Nova Launcher. Unfortunately it’s haunted by a terrible bug that regularly resets my home screen. Now I’m looking for a replacement. All I need is the ability to change the home screens grid size, the app icons (ideally also the names) and hide apps from the drawer. Any suggestions? EDIT: It should also be open source, obviously. EDIT #2: I’ve settled with Lawnchair and it looks quite promising so far!
Usually I recommend KISS or Kvaesitso, but with the customisation you ask for, maybe Lawnchair?
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!!
Kvaesitso, 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.
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.
