Since a few folks seem unaware of this, I’m posting anew for visibility.
On graphene, don’t feel like switching launchers again - just disabled all network access for nova launcher and its supporting apps… Thanks for the heads up!
Truly the saddest news of the day.
Also KISS launcher is the goat
I love KISS!
I love testing out weird stuff! I was using Pielauncher before, then worked out this one gives me a clean home screen and swipe gestures!
I’ve been using it a few years now. I use Muzei and the NASA APOD plugin to get the astronomy picture of the day as my background, then have swipe actions for commonly used apps, favourites for the less commonly used apps that I still want an icon on the home screen, then I have the app list show with commonly used apps when I tap the search field.
It’s also a great talking point when people see me use it, because most people don’t realise you can change how this core part of your phone works with a couple of taps.
Switch to the open source Neo Launcher!
Their Github page looks like there’s active development, but yeah no actual releases for a long time
Till now we have no alpha release of 1.0.0, but this would come in the next weeks.
Finger crossed!
There’s a system over at Nova Discord where we reply to polls about the new features, we’re basically guinea pigs trying out stuff Branch is going to push out via their deals with OEMs. That’s how I’ve understood it.
There is no bytes being sent out with the beta, and replying in Discord is voluntary, obviously.
