Anyone try any good launchers lately? Something with interesting features or workflow.

    KISS launcher on minimal interface with a weather widget is my favourite.

    If you don’t mind having to work a bit , you might like Total Launcher, which really lets you customise things. It’s a bit of a learning curve, but I like it a lot.

    Looking at the examples on the he playstore, I suspect I’m only scratching the surface too.

    I combine it with KWLP and it works well for me.

      Total is the only launcher I’ve ever seen that uses a truly unique paradigm.

      All the rest are just variations of a theme, even Square Home (though it’s quite different from the pages of grids of apps), and AIO (though its text and minimalist).

    I’m a fan of launcher 10 and have been using it on my Samsung for years now. It makes my phone ui look like that of windows phone.

    Despite now being owned by a marketing company, I always come back to nova.

    I like to switch it up to see what’s out there pretty often though I’ve been using Nova since jellybean and before that it was ADW before development stopped for a while. However I like, Neo launcher (foss) for a trimmed down Nova like experience and Shade launcher also foss for a very simple yet pleasing to look at launcher. I find Kvaesito while a cool approach kind of buggy and not very smooth even on my OnePlus 11. Lunar launcher is also cool but not very customizable compared to Nova anyway. Really I just wish someone would bring Helix launcher to modern Android, probably mainly for nostalgia reasons.

    Square Home is an old Windows Metro style launcher. It seems like someone’s passion project.

    I like that

    • It supports widgets
    • Tiles are colorful and easy to find. I find it easier to use than the default Pixel launcher (ymmv).
    • It supports folders on the home screen.
