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 use nova launcher, not sure how it compares since I’ve never used anything else

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.
You can hide it in options but functionally it’s still there
Well that’s the entire point of Niagara Launcher
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
oh I must have overlooked that
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.
Ooooh this might be exactly what I’m looking for
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?
If you’re into minimalism, I quite like mLauncher from f-droid.
i use the Evie launcher and i think its the best but i dont think it exists on playstore anymore, last time i tried it was a scam app copy
i have it from like 2 phones ago
When I was going mad with customization I really liked adw 2 launcher. Give it a shot see if you like it.
I can’t, it doesn’t seem to support android 13
