Hi. Im very happy right now with smart launcher. But I would like something fully open source. I want something minimal, but that allows me to have desktop pictures, because I make my own wallpapers.
Also it would be good to create folders or apo categories.
Thank you.
F-Droid is an installable catalogue of FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) applications for the Android platform. The client makes it easy to browse, install, and keep track of updates on your device.
I really like KISS launcher. I got tired of trying to arrange home screen app icons. For me, using the app history and searching for apps is much faster.
same here. I also use KISS launcher.
Can confirm. Or any minimalistic launcher that’s based on search
Totally agree…
As someone who is new to the FOSS world, what does an app launcher do and what makes one better than another?
An app launcher is basically your homescreen on an android smartphone. They are different in design and have sometimes different features like the KISS Launcher which has a search bar and doesn’t have any apps on the page itself. If you have an android smartphone you can just try one and see if it feels better to you. I really enjoy the KISS Launcher too

Yep. And being able to set it as the system assistant and open with the keyboard up is great when you don’t have google on your phone
I really like OpenLauncher! It’s nice looking and very responsive even on my very old phone. It does folder/category grouping on the desktop/dock, supports gestures and supports icon packs and color theming. I can’t set the wallpaper directly with OpenLauncher, but I usually set those with the gallery app and that works fine for me.
Sentien Launcher - Based on KISS launcher
Unlauncher. At first it seemed a little… too empty for my tastes, but then I noticed how much time it saved me from my phone.
I ended up choosing Olauncher, which k think is based on that one and works the same way. I just wanna have my own wallapapers, and I like how smooth and clean it looks. And yeah, its actually amazing.
I still use Lawnchair. That pun never gets old. And I have yet to see a missing feature
I would try it. But the fdroid version haven’t received updates in a while
Try Omega
Luke Launcher best launcher!
