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.

    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.

      Can confirm. Or any minimalistic launcher that’s based on search

      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

      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
