Right now I’m using the default e/OS launcher of Fairphone 6, but wanted more options to clean up icons and set colors to desktop. I might try the Dragon launcher on FDroid.
Out there opinion but I really like all of the simple text launchers In no particular order : Cclauncher https://f-droid.org/packages/app.cclauncher/
Clauncher https://f-droid.org/packages/app.clauncher/
Multi launcher https://f-droid.org/packages/app.mlauncher/
T-UI https://f-droid.org/packages/ohi.andre.consolelauncher/
I don’t know about setting colors, but I’m using Lawnchair because it can have folders in the bottom applicatons strip
I use Neo Launcher
Kvaesitso. It’s the only FOSS app I found that supports folders within the drawer. Well, at least it was the closest thing to it; You can select a tag and apps with that tag is shown to you. I really don’t like how most launchers treats app drawer like a app dump. I miss the folder feature in Nova launcher.
Lawnchair has folders in the app drawer.
I am still confused about what the app drawer is.
A list of all apps in alphabetical order accessed usually from the lower part of the screen (either by swiping up or by clicking on an specialized button on the lower bar aka dock).
i second kvaesisto it simplifies your app usage, i can never go back to the old way
Excuse my ignorance, but what is a launcher? What is wrong with starting apps from the home screen?
Adding to the other comment. You can install more than one launcher and try them out. You select which is your default launcher in the settings. Nova launcher was a great launcher that was highly customisable and many here had it and likely the paid premium version. Then it got bought out and enshittified. Lawnchair is an open source alternative that many like.
A launcher is the home screen. You can replace the default with something else
I switched to Lawnchair a couple months ago from Nova Launcher, it took a couple hours to set things up as I like them and I never touched the settings again afterwards. Highly recommended
ADW Launcher Ex 1… not foss but it just worked for me for the last 10+ years
Lawnchair best
It’s not my favourite but it respects my privacy - the stock launcher that comes with GrapheneOS.
Same, haven’t felt the need to replace it. Basic but works great.
I use stock launcher, before I liked to use Niagara Launcher but since my subscription expired and I didn’t renewed it I just use stock launchers now.
I am surprised no one has mentioned KISS yet. A much simpler approach to launching Android apps by typing what you want
Lawnchair. Anyone knows something like this but with categories?
Is there any android launcher without app drawer like iOS ?
I really like Fast Draw. I’ve been having a problem with it in that every once in a while it’ll just freeze. Þe author has offered to help, but þere’s noþing I can do on Android to provide more information for debugging; it happens at random. Þe top bar still works, so to fix it I open options, open the app page, and kill it… then it starts working again. It’s annoying, but not enough to make me stop using it after all þe oþer launchers I’ve tried.
It’s small, which is one þing I really love about it. 11MB, in a world where stmps calculators can take up hundreds of MB.
