Hey Jow Forums what is the best launcher right now? Something that is light on resources and doesn't fuck up with the notifications and badges. Pic unrelated.
Launcher
KISS Launcher
There are even lighter ones, but they reach meme levels of minimalism.
Pixels interface is really nice, you should stop buying third party phones op
Evie is a good launcher. I've been using it for about a year now.
Oneplus launcher and nova
niagara launcher
null, emerald, t-ui
There's simply nothing better than KISS
OnePlus launcher or Poco Launcher.
I used to use Nova back when I was a android ricer/poweruser/pirate about 6 years ago but once I became a enlightened foss purist I use anything on f-droid.
Customized Pixel Launcher is way better than the regular Pixel Launcher.
⊞ + R
>literal botnet launchers
t. i bought my phone last millennia
seconded, I haven't tried many launchers but Evie does what I need it to do while being lightweight
i use lawnchair
Absolutely blobby
Use Zim
TUI + Taskbar
based
just use niagara with a good icon-set
>two clocks
no shit, not being able to hide the status bar is the biggest issue i currently have with this launcher.
nova
app-drawer access and notification management is extremely smooth and efficient in niagara, doesnt really compare to a traditional launcher like nova.
Also currently im too lazy to klwp
KISS is the only Jow Forums launcher.
Niagara.
based
Thirded. I've tried a couple but I stuck with Evie. Light and quick on my phone. Also use a couple of gestures to open apps.
kiss launcher and essential launcher are good. essential is a bit more light but also doesnt have a lotta nice features
okay i'll check it out
I use Lawnchair in the daily after having switched from Nova. A lot simpler and easier to set up than Nova.
This.
I like that it can search system settings.
T-UI
Lean launcher
kiss is a meme launcher too
Baseado
I just wanted a good Nova open source clone. Lawnchair isn't that customizable.
better than termux?
Trebuchet
Lawnchair v2
as a launcher yes
how?
im asking mostly from interest
I think I've been using Evie for longer than a year now. Best launcher to date.
Much easier to launch applications. Shows your most used stuff in order, doesn't need to type "launch", has great string comparison that helps you run commands without typing fully or correctly, shows useful stuff by default and has theming.
Bought a Pixel and realized I don't want a launcher anymore because I don't need to cover up all the bullshit Samsung and LG load their phones with.
Literally maximum botnet phone
Looks unsuitable for a touch interface device.
>botnet
Yes
>Less inherent bloat
Yes
is there a launcher that isn't shit for Japanese UI I'm using for reasons
I need the simplest, most lightweight launcher there is that does the following:
- Has an app drawer
- You can place widgets on Home screen
That would be the dream. Right now using Apex launcher and it has served me well but I'd like to switch to something a little less botnet (even if Apex isn't that botnet and fairly lightweight).
Not really. I launch any application with a single keyboard stroke.
Essential. Plus, it's FOSS.
Essential Launcher
42kb download on F-Droid
Is there a launcher without app drawer that supports icon packs?
>inb4 hurr just drag all icons to the homescreen
That's not what I asked.
this.
It is very good.
sopapilled
this is stupid. this is literally the stupidest option available. you should feel bad for being this autistic.
it's pretty good if you have a physical keyboard
it's even better if you have a laptop.
I dumped Nova for Evie as well
trebuchet mah dude
/thread
Imaging needing more than what Essential Launcher provides.
This
i use lawnchair. i've spent more time than i cared for comparing launchers too.
Essential
Ditched nova for Evie after I got bored of nova/decided I wanted to try something that wasn't recced by my now-ex-bestfriend.
Paired it with Min icons and it's minimal AF.
But is it a rocket lawnchair?
Essential is the true Jow Forums launcher
Lightning is the correct answer.
why they're literally the same
nova launcher
I use a cracked version of smart launcher.
Galaxy Nexus or S3?
Launcher3 on F Droid (a.k.a. "Show Mem")
The smallest
The tightest
Has everything you need
>launcher
>2019
Kys, I just use the default launcher that comes with the OS, it just werks.
>I just use the default launcher that comes with the OS
bloattttttt
since there is no dedicated smartphone thread, anyone knows how to change lock screen icons on lineage 15.1?
If anyone is looking for the most bloated, riciest launcher, it's TSF Shell. It's tolerable actually, but really taxes almost any hardware. My S5 is reeling, but I like ricing enough to not change.
Smart Launcher
Is there a better equivalent of something like Smart Launcher?
Been using it for like the past 3-4 years or so, and while I love the simplicity and drawers, I hate how fucking greedy the developers are. Even after buying it I'm still fucking being hounded to buy basic fucking features.
Gonna check out Essential for now, see how that goes.
Y'all like Niagara launcher?
Seconding this. KISS is free software, simple and functional. It's also reasonably lightweight, but I honestly don't care too much about that past a certain point. Nevertheless, it's a plus.
>kiss launcher and essential launcher are good.
I tried those and went back to Nova. Too minimal for me.
Can't hide apps in Essential and you need to have all these shitty shortcut icons at the bottom. I want everything to be hidden.
Rofi
The old adw launcher needs less ressources than nova so im using it on my fire 10 hd
emerald
Essential launcher is the best launcher.
Anything like LessPhone but with more app options?
>tfw LCD screen
fpbp
How do you hide the stat bar clock ? I cant read it while driving anyway.
Lawnchair. Also, it's free software and is customizable as hell.
Whats that icon pack?
KISS is the best launcher. It's free software, works well and it's minimal, but not too minimal.
Essential is the Suckless of launchers, hence a meme.
T-UI
based
Lawnchair v2, very customizable
Nova launcher*
go with trebuchet
Hahaha. Have you even finger banged a girl? Hahaha
FOSS launchers are shit so a pirated NOVA
>Essential launcher is the best launcher.
It's too barebones to be useful. It needs a little more to be used by everybody.
