I have been spoiled for customisation by hyprland recently and have been looking at customizing my phone UI

All the custom launchers I’ve tried so far are rather lacking in customisability, features and are usually paywalled for “advanced” features like having more than one widget

At the moment I think I’m going to end up back on the default one

    I’m currently using the Niagara Launcher, it’s easy to use and very pleasant to work with.

      Ditto. Much preferred to standard layout.

      Never used anything else though.

      I’ve been using the Niagara launcher, think it’s the one I like the most so far but not very customisable and no way to turn off the alphabet thing completely which I don’t like

        yes the alphabet is a bit unattractive, it would be nice if it would only appear when you touch it or something.

              I’m sure some people like it. Personally I find it far faster to just type the name of the app than find the right letter, then hunt for the application

                Depends on how many applications you have I guess, I keep my number of applications down, so the amount per letter is at max like 5 or 6, so searching doesn’t take a long time at all

    If you like functional, information-heavy launchers, check out AIO Launcher. One of the standout features of this launcher is that you can create custom widgets using LUA, and you can also control the launcher/widgets using Tasker, which opens up a lot of automation possibilities, if you’re into that sort of stuff.

    Check out Kustom Live Wallpaper, it isn’t a launcher but customization for the home screen can be had with some effort or no real effort.

      BTW the exclamation point in front of your link breaks it

      Looks cool though

        Thanks for the heads up about the link, the Lemmy client I use has some bugs but I get to report them to the dev so points for me lol!

    I’m currently using Ruthless Launcher. It kind of reminds me of Lawnchair feature-wise, to me it strikes a good balance between customizability and look.

      Looks interesting, but I wonder why my Pixel 7 is considered “incompatible”?

        No idea, I installed it on my Pixel 7 Pro when I was on Android 13, maybe it’s not considered “compatible” with Android 14, or it’s an oversight from the developer?
