    Regular ol’ OneUI launcher. I greatly prefer paged appdrawers over scrolling ones and its does everything I need.

    Niagara, love the way it works and has a totally different design from stock launchers, especially on big phone. Also I paid for a years subscription.

    I use Pixel Launcher because it is the fastest Launcher available for Android and has the better stock animations plus the select text feature from the app switcher (so handy when you can’t select text quickly from an app, which happens very often).

    I do miss the lack of customization though, I used to use “Pixel Launchers Mod” for this regard, but it is stuck at A13 sadly.

    I use the default Samsung launcher because none of the other launchers bring anything that I need. In the past I used custom launchers to overcome the limitations of the built-in one, but today I don’t see the need anymore.

    Stock already looks pretty neat with themed icons so haven’t used a custom one in a long time

    I use KISS because I love using weird and different things, and this one I like, though I’ve customized the layout. In particular I hide apps from the home screen until I tap the app search, have key things in the favourites (so visible from home screen), and I use the swipe actions. Swipe up to open browser, down to open notification tray, right to open camera, left to open app search.

    I like the clean home screen so I can see the wallpaper (which shows me the NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day) and the previous launcher I used had swipe actions to open apps which I really liked so that appealed to me too.

    I’ve settled on Niagara for a while now, largely because of the search and gesture to get there. Frequent apps are on the home screen, messaging etc, then anything else is swipe and type

    I use Microsoft Launcher because it has no ads and lets me customize everything I want to customize, the way I want it to be; which is like how Pixel Launcher was when it first came out but better. Thought I would be fine with Pixel Launcher on the Pixel 8 I have now, but I couldn’t change how many icons displayed in a row or column so Microsoft Launcher is still my main launcher.

    I switched to Lawnchair after One UI 6 rolled out on my phone with ridiculously ugly app icons. Way too large with an annoying font. I also found out that I prefer searching for apps over the app drawer method the default launcher forces.

    All that’s missing is also having the recents screen be from Lawnchair, but that’s apparently still in the works for Android 14. If it’s rolled out, I might consider rooting my phone, maybe even try out custom ROMs.

    Definitely Nova, the beta version. The beta version has way smoother animations if you’re on Android 12 and above, compared to 7.

    Of course it has more features including a great search function.

    On top of that my main reason is to change the icons, be able to control the transparency and colour of the icons in the top bar and set up my app drawer and dock how I like. Plus being able to set the density of the hinge screen and have widgets overlap etc

    Plus Nova is faster than my stock launcher.

    I’m using AIO because it had the best native search next to Nova + Sesame without that beng the only feature of note. Currently waiting until LightningLauncher gets reworked enough to use.
