Is there a good launcher with a newer release than 2022 like neo launcher?
Neo launcher works, I experience no bugs but it feels odd to have such an old launcher running.
Kvaesito is great but follows a slightly different paradigm and neo has “hidden” folders which are amazing
https://f-droid.org/packages/com.eblan.launcher/ the only launcher on fdroid that is not trying the “declutter” by being an ass text based launcher, or being a laggy mess. finally has icon customisation as well.
Launcher314 is new and in beta. I’m checking it out for a few weeks and kinda like it.
Lawnchair is great!
I’m in the same position as you. I’m stuck with nova. I have it firewalled so it doesn’t have network access but I would love to love over to a Foss alternative. Nothing I’ve tried is as customisable and I can’t seem to get things exactly how I like them. neo was close :(
There are tons of launchers on f-droid. No idea about comparisons.
I use https://github.com/luantak/FokusLauncher and while I don’t think it’s all that great it hasn’t annoyed me into switching back (which is a low bar given how easy it is).
I just using stock LineageOS launcher. Is not this FOSS enough? :)
Is probably the same as / like the one on gos. It is good, it works but it has no cover folders which is a really neat functionality
I use Kvaesitso, and it works quite well
Minimo launcher is my new fave. Its simple, decreases addiction, and surpasses Olauncher in features.
the launcher i’m using isnt not foss but i think it was removed from the googleapp store in 2016 :p
On my previous phone I used KISS, now I use μLauncher which is really similar to KISS but I think I like slightly more
I love KISS.
This is the way.
I’ve been testing new launchers, and since most are unfortunately just text based or “minimalist”, your options are limited.
Lawnchair and Kvaesisto just works at least on my phone. Search on lawnchair wasn’t great. Murine is the one I’m trying and seems to be one of the better ones in the new set.
You can try Launcher314, but it’s choppy on my phone, almost like the app drawer scrolling is below 60Hz.
Another one I used was Yagni, but it’s in Alpha stage. And the dev kept renaming the project so often it got confusing
I’m using Lawnchair because it allows folders in the app drawer and I fell the need to group apps. Does Murine do this?
Last time I checked, it didn’t
Kiss, kvaesto (?), unlauncher.
I’ve been using unlauncher for about a year or so. It’s great.
I tried the Fossify launcher today and gave up pretty quickly. Feels like it doesn’t have anywhere near enough settings, has zero documentation, and aesthetically leaves something to be desired.
I’ve been using KISS launcher and I’m really happy with it. It takes some getting used to though, as it has a different search based approach.
Kiss launcher is great. Typing and opening an app is much faster than searching for it in the app drawer
