This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Meh, I'll just keep not updating my 2024 version that I already paid for years ago and works perfectly fine lol
Me too. Only bummer is that the weather widget in the search bar keeps crashing. Other than that, I have no issue staying on my current version.
You could also try Yagni launcher on fdroid. 2mb, still in alpha, but very much worth installing.
I use Minimalist Phone Launcher with network access disabled. I know there are libre alternatives out there, but I didn't like them as much, and I desperately needed a digital detox.
I have been a happy camper switching from OLauncherCF to Fokkus Launcher, author was very receptive to feedback and updated quickly, recommend 10/10
Which one exactly? There seem to be at least five different ones...
Ugh. I've been holding out until now.
I've tried a ton of others but the only one I even half like is Lawnchair. The others are too restricted, too annoying or too creepy.
Does anyone know how to replicate the custom groups/tabs of apps inside the app drawer?
The app drawer and ability to choose my own search engine are what keeps me on it. I don't want "smart" anything, just let me control it.
Nova was so customizable. I used those same group, tab features a lot over the years. Categories like: Network, Games, PIM, Storage, Images, Comms, etc, can take a lot of clutter out of your main drawer, not to mention Nova let you customize the visuals to a extensive point.
I remember using one called Apex around the days of early Nova and the two of them would swap who was in the lead and who was the better launcher. I haven't found an open source launcher that gives me what I want.
Ah man, I forgot about apex
