Launcher recommendation (lemmy.one)

I have tried alot of launchers but never really settled on one that meets all my needs. I have also read all the threads on reddit about FOSS launchers.

My preferences:

  • Multiple pages
  • Widgets on home screen
  • search function; app/contacts/ddg

The closest one yet is NeoLauncher, but the search function is not quite there I reckon.

Any suggestions?

AIO launcher is simple and clean and functional. Try it: https://aiolauncher.app/

Is this FOSS?

you're the one who posted it in the FOSS community as a recommendation.

I missed the question that you were looking for a foss. And I'm not the one posting " it". You've probably missed something yourself, especially if English is not my language.

Neo Launcher, working for me. Try playing with these options

Sadly its buggy for me. The search function just searches for either web or apps. I have fiddled around with everything.

I currently use Square Home. Its the Windows Phone / W8 Metro UI. I have widgets, search, and multiple pages.

I can't find any source code for that through a quick search. Please note that this is a community for free and open source Android software. Many of us here don't endorse closed source software at all.

This is just a heads-up. I'm not going to remove this.

Shit didn't realize the community! My bad!
