What Launcher you use?

theFOoL · May 15, 2018

I use Evie. A small yet easy to use and beautiful Launcher. I also use Minimalist Wallpaper App as well

I'm with MIUI (Xiaomi). I was on EMUI (Huawei) before and I quite liked it, more than silly separate app drawers. Bought Xiaomi a year ago and it was similar experience. Don't really need else because MIUI is loaded with features, is smooth and just works well.

I usually use a rocket launcher

In regard to Android, I use the ASUS ZenUI launcher - not just because it came pre-installed with my tablet - I found it good enough. Bought my mom some cheapo chinese phone, it came with the vanilla Google launcher, used ZenUI on that too, mostly to get rid of the stupid Google search bar. I know, I could probably remove it some other way, I just don't want to mess with it. She's happy with it, too.

yep nova launcher, for years it is pretty stable
switching phones to phones but still using nova launcher

We use several different launchers in this house. It depends on the device and screen resolution. ADW 1.3.3.9 on one phone, ADW current version on a tablet, Nova Pro 3.30 on another phone and a tablet, Apex Pro on a laptop and another tablet. Back in the Android 2.2 - 2.37 days, Go EX was my launcher of choice but they stopped focusing on configurablity, functionality and utility in Android 3+ and they got dropped in favor of ADW. I try out new launchers regularly. So far nothing matches the big 3 with me.

Got a link?
EDIT; Found it. Not greatly impressed, but it seems solid and smooth. Just not a whole lot of customization options like the ones mentioned above.

Trebuchet, the default on LineageOS. it does the job. I keep my phones pretty lean

IceScreamer · Jun 30, 2018

Nova Prime, used Evie for a while but switched back to Nova. Most of the other launchers use way too much memory for my liking (still on 1GB RAM). A really solid looking launcher I've seen is KISS, tho I never tried to switch to it.

theFOoL · Jun 30, 2018

Just wish carriers would allow us to remove the default launcher and to just switch by a restart of the phone. Is it that hard Android and carries

theonedub · Jun 30, 2018

Nova Prime on my Note 8, been using NP since the N3.

From a technical perspective, actually yes it is. It's up to the user to root and replace as they wish.

theFOoL · Jul 1, 2018

Yes but rooting is getting harder to do these days :twitch:

True, but it is still possible and you can still install and set as default any launcher you choose. Users don't really need to uninstall the system launcher at all.

theFOoL · Jul 1, 2018

Yes true but to my knowledge doesn't it waste battery life or whatever having two launcher on the phone. Either way it'd be nice to have such a option

Not at all. When you change the default launcher, only the one chosen will be run, even the one installed in the system will not run and thus not use CPU cycles or battery.
