I have been using AIO launcher for a few years now. Extremely customizable, fast, information-first launcher. Not for everyone, but if you ever liked Rainmeter, it has the same vibe in a lot of ways.

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).

Dehydrated,

I like Kvaesitso

For me, and looking less ram usage always, the most interestings are

Kiss launcher Discreet launcher Mini desktop

ultra,

I like Kvaesitso

Bebo,

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.

tkk13909,

Stario is pretty cool. It even has built in RSS and notes!

psy32nd,

Neo Launcher. Very stable on my Samsung so far. Open source.

PlantObserver,

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

flashily_ripcord590,

Been using Pear Launcher. Works pretty good. No data collected or shared.

    It’s not a launcher tho

    RGB3x3,

    Niagara launcher.

    It’s legitimately the best launcher I’ve ever used. It breaks the typical mould of pages of icon grids and replaces it with a vertical list of 8 or so of your most used apps.

    It makes my workflows so much faster and I can’t go back to the typical Android home screen format.

    This is what mine looks like right now:

    h4wk3y3,

    +1 for Niagara

    What app are you using for the dynamic island?

    RGB3x3,

    DynamicSpot

    It has so many customization options, that it’s an even better solution than Apple’s.

    And if you feel that the pricing for the full version is ridiculous, you can try out the KISS launcher that is similar in not using a home screen, but free and FOSS.

    Yeah I can't go back to normal style launchers. Niagara is great

    Aties,

    Niagara was an easy 5 stars and lifetime purchase, but I now have a seething hatred for apps that stick random words as a prefix; for example, “myCigna” or “Fly Delta” because it ruins alphabetical sorting. I rate them 1 star for their ridiculous naming practices, but I feel like I need to do something more drastic to communicate my anger.

    RGB3x3,

    This is going to blow your mind: You can change their listed names.

    Long press the app in the list, then press its name in the popup. It’ll let you change it.

    AFC1886VCC,

    Smart Launcher 6 is the only launcher that has stopped me from going back to Nova.

    iturnedintoanewt,

    Where can i find it? Doesn’t look to be on fdroid.

    zink,
    @zink@lemmy.ml avatar

    It’s on the Play Store. I don’t think it’s open source.

    iturnedintoanewt,

    Thanks…I don’t think I’d trust the app that knows every moment what I’m doing with my phone to be closed source.
