I really like the simple, stock - ish layout on my home screen, which rules out a few popular suggestions like Niagara.

  • I liked Lawnchair, but development is dead. Even the new alpha hasn’t been updated in a year or more, and is missing features.
  • Neo Launcher perhaps came close to being the most ideal, but it is buggy as hell and also hasn’t been updated in a year
  • Nova is what I’m using now, but I hate that it does not remember the drawer groups for each app once they’re reinstalled. I work as an app tester and having to sort work apps manually every time drives me up the wall

Does anyone here have any suggestions?

I’ve been using neo launcher since nova was sold. What kind of bugs have you encountered?

Every UI setup change needs a launcher restart to take effect

I think I’ve run into this bug a couple of times. For some reason, the grid can become unaligned and I’d have to restart the launcher from the advanced options to fix it. I wish development was faster but that’s how open source goes sometimes.

I’ve also been looking around but there are no good FOSS launchers currently.

I’m using Trebuchet (default Lineage launcher) with Launcher30 Lposed module. It’s simple, it’s very stock, no nonsense, just launcher.

This came installed with my rom too, but I really need the option to sort the app drawer into categories or folders
