Never heard of ActionLauncher until last year, but because I bought a new phone, decided to see what’s out there. Multiple slidable docks that enable each app to be an app shortcut as well as a cover/folder for other apps on double tap, completely delighted me. 😉
I gave up trying new launchers years ago, I would try them and fall back on Nova. No one even comes close to functionality as Nova
Kinda like it, and mostly because it’s FOSS, but will keep using “Home Launcher” (app.homelauncher, 28.0.28):
- Allows to tie gestures to certain actions, though it still can’t bind double tap on an empty area of the screen to turn it off. I wish either one had this option
- Won’t distort the icons in any way besides their sizing, as Ion Launcher does
- Lets to set another icon for any app
- Can hide apps from the drawer
Like the ideas so far.
My requests/thoughts:
Option to integrate or remove the bottom icons with the other rows… When setting sizes they don’t match up.
Love the rows themselves, fits my preferences well. Especially the arrangement haptics!
Disable the media players option? Maybe dynamically expand from a single icon when in use? Dedicate to a specific media source?
Widget picker is a bit of a mess, option to sort by application?
So far really liking what it is. Keep at it please!
all these new launchers don’t understand why people stay on nova
because they don’t have some little additions that make a bigger impact on my workflow than I’d expect. like being able to add an empty home screen to make my KLWP setup work properly. or using folders in the app drawer. or swiping sideways on the home screen to launch an app. and so on.
