That’s a long way away from being useful.
Edit: opinion changed, as per the conversation below. I’d say limited use, but definitely viable for those use cases
Can you elaborate ? I’m looking for a mLauncher replacement and this one seemd interesting, as there is picture/image background for my Onyx e-book
It’s too basic.
No folders, no ability to freely arrange things, so your app drawer is everything, and unorganized. Same with the home screen.
Which, I guess that might actually work for an eink device now that I think about it (just bought a poke 5 myself), particularly one that’s only going to be used as an ereader rather than a general purpose tablet with an eink screen.
There’s just a minimum degree of organization that becomes a problem when it isn’t there, and the device needs to be easy to use. But, yeah, I think you may have just countered my “useless” opinion. It might well be perfect for that use case, both in its bare minimum features, and how lightweight it is.
I don’t like how I can’t choose to have icons anywhere but the bottom two rows
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.
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!
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
