/alg/ - Android Launcher General

Let's face it, bros.

Nova Launcher is bloated and slow now.

What's a good replacement that:

>Has essential functions like icons, folders, dock, pages.
>Uses minimal RAM and CPU
>No memeshit minimalism like those launchers with 5 words and 1 home screen
>Preferably open source

What launcher does Jow Forums use?

I use KISS, but according to your definition it is "memeshit minimalism".
Your loss.

Isn't that the one where you have to search for every app? How is that simple?

I hear good things about Evie, but I havent tried it myself.

That is even more bloated and ram hungry than Nova. Pointless.

It keeps a history of recently used items on top, so you have to search only for stuff you don't use often. It also uses an algorithm to determine how to arrange the history.
The search bar can also be used to search for contacts and search the web, all in one, and immediately call or send a message. I almost never open the contacts application directly.
It may be less orthodox, but after trying it out, I found that I liked it much more than "conventional" launchers.
Give it a try, you might be surprised.

I resisted KISS for so long. It sounded too simple.

You should at least try it. GOAT launcher possibly.

I just run bash direct from termux.

Apex and thats it

Lawnchair.
KISS is unintuitive with its really small icons and vertical list drawer. Freetards can't into design.

current nova user, convince me to switch

>freetards
Only a slave would insult a man for being free"

You don't have to. You can tap the left end of the search bar to bring up an alphabetical list of all of your apps.

Smart launcher is lit

There's no reason to, to be honest. It just has less features, but some of them are behind a pay wall in Nova. What kind of retard pays for software?

>Only a slave would insult a man for being free"
Lawnchair is foss.

Fuck off with that shit. I tried several launchers from f-droid and they all look like shit. The only exception is Lawnchair.
Freetards can't into design and aesthetics.

Where can I download your launcher?

F-droid or the Play store.

Evie Launcher felt like a clean start after dumping Apex for feeling like dated Chinese bloatware.
I didn't try any other launchers, shit just works.

>Heard about Apex years ago and about how popular it is
>Give it a try recently
>WE HAVE A CLEANER AND ANTIVIRUS AND A THEME STORE ABLOO BLOO
Them having a premium version that costs money is normal. This Pajeet-tier shit turned me off immediately.

Lawnchair. Pretty customizable too.

I use Microsoft launcher.
Unrelated to launchers but how come package installer crashes if I remove Downloads/Files app

so i have prime (which i bought on telstra credit for $5 about 6 years ago) and there's literally no reason to switch - got it

Not today, CIA.

try Holo Launcher

I use Niagara but it doesn't fit your criteria

Why do launchers like Niagara insist on using only vertical lists?

B A S E D

i used next launcher. it was smooth and had a ridiculous amount of customization. however, the app is long dead and when downloading the apk it glitches on android 7+. i still didn't find a proper replacement so I'm sticking with the default launcher

trebuchet universal apk

I use TSF shell on a Galaxy S5, I enjoy maximal bloat.

>Nova Launcher is bloated and slow now.
What sort of shitbox old phone are you running it on? I have prime on my S8 and shits fucking fast.

>now
It's always been a botnet.
Best launchers are essential launcher, emerald, KISS and openLauncher.

>Best launchers are essential launcher, emerald, KISS and openLauncher.
Best means "muh open sores"?

Fuck off.

>using a botnet launcher on an open source system
You're retarded and your arguments are invalid.

>le everything not on f-droid iz botnet meme
just die already, autist

Just get Lawnchair v2 on apkmirror

no

Lel kys, shill.

wdym botnet lol

>I use TSF shell on a Galaxy S5, I enjoy maximal bloat.

Action launcher is pretty sweet, been using it for years

Based

That's actually a valid statement. 99% of apps at the Google Play store is malware. I hope you'll see the light one day, user.

trebuchet is the patrician's choice

So before I bought a Pixel the only reason I used launcher was to cover up all the manufacturer bullshit. Why are you guys still buying phones that is not either vanilla Android or OnePlus?
