I just tried total launcher. Love most of it, but still trying to figure out things like multiple docks, etc.
Pear Launcher is nice. Fossify Home is good, too. I prefer Pear since it lets you use icon themes.
I use Pie Launcher on mine, but then again i am a bit strange at times.
Here is how it looks like for me.
That's awesome I hate it
Bruh what the fever dream fuck!? Am I a fuckin normie or can someone back me on that being extra af?
Cool though
bring back USB3.0/DP out on the FP7 and I'll bite. The FP6 going to USB2.0 screwed the pooch for me.
i use Niagara and I like it, but its a little different. if you want a more traditional one ive heard lawnchair is good.
Tried several and landed on action launcher.
Try out Niagara. It only takes about 5 minutes to set up.
If you're like me, you'll think it's too simplistic, you think you want all that nova launcher shit. But do yourself a favor and give it a try. Pick a background, pick an icon pack, select a few favorites and that's all you need to try it out.
After that if you want to really dig in there isn't much (some of these things are pro features, I can't remember which because I decided to get it so soon after trying it out), it's like 45 minutes at the most to customize your clock, do the custom widget (multiple widgets can share space, you just swipe through), decide if you want music controls on the home screen, and set up pop-ups (like a folder but more, can be in your favorites or your app list), and hide apps from the list (either because they're in a pop-up or you just never use it). And then...that's it, there's nothing else to do.
I tried it out a while ago when the original developer for nova quit the company that bought nova. Did a quick setup, played around for 30 minutes and bought pro right away. I was very surprised at how much I liked a simplistic launcher.
You've got nothing to lose but 30 minutes, check it out.
Edited for clarity about the nova developer quitting.
Every setting is locked behind premium...
Also I missed my drawer. I'll just keep never updating nova
Their privacy policy says they collect a list of every app you have installed lol
You can turn it off. It tells you what might get funky if you do. I didn't notice any problems so I've left it and all other analytics reporting stuff off.
+1 for Niagara. I've been using it for quite some time, and I love the simplicity of it. No clutter and just a quick launcher. I have a widget stack for my calendar, tasks, and Firefox search.
I wish they'd get their security in order.
It would be the perfect Graphene phone if they did.
To answer OP, Niagara Launcher.
lawnchair.
I'd like to buy a Fairphone, but the missing IP68 rating is concerning to me. I really don't want to have to worry about my phone dying if I get into a rainstorm for example, especially while traveling.
It really shouldn't be hard to make. Im typing this on one and there really is just the back with screws which could be tricky, but a replaceable gasket should do the trick even if it isn't going to survive a few meters of water.
kvaesitso is pretty nice and is what I use
I just got a new phone and I'm trying Kvaesitso to move away from Nova, but I just can't get used to it.
I think I just really like the paradigm of having a 'desktop' where I can freely arrange my most used apps in a specific layout, and Kvaesitso - by intentional design choice - doesn't allow it.
It's a shame for me because I love the ethos, I love the open-source approach, and I love that it's a wholly original launcher - rather than a fork of the stock or anything else.
For some it's the perfectl launcher I'm sure, but to me it's like even after I unlock the device I'm still stuck in something that feels like a lock screen to me, and I feel weirdly trapped and claustrophobic.
Not sure why it makes me feel that way, but it does!
Ah yeah it's not for everyone. I like having a clean homescreen and call things up as I need them so it works for me. I make use of the tagging too.
Fairphone is nice. Flashed /e/os on it, now its even without 99% google shit :D
I use lineageOS personnally and you can install it without any google apps as well. And the updates are quite frequent.

That’s a fair and practical perspective. Longevity, repairability, and not having to replace a device every couple of years are reasons a lot of people can relate to. Sometimes sustainability starts with simply using things longer.
Check out lawnchair. 😊
Digging it so far
Enshittification - Migration
appears to be a perpetual cycle. Stop giving Joe Rogan your $12 each month and your email provider announces it's agenda to gargle MAGA balls... Now, all we need is an open source alternative to US healthcare..
Faiphone is being frog marched out of Australia. Each telco is shutting it down and blocking IMEIs. Sucks for the people that imported them.
Cant even use it as data only. So unless you use it as puerly on WiFi it's going to landfill. 🙃.
Also. Lawnchair nightly/beta.
What the hell is going on there? Why??
As an American, I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess: corporate influence.
..why?
My Fairphone is working just fine, but if yours doesn't have 4G VOIP, then it won't work in Australia.
I wish they were sold in the States at a more reasonable price. Murena's prices are ridiculous.
Tariffs go brrrrr
(Good luck friend, I hope the price drops soon or that you find a good alternative :D )
Yeah it's pricey. I'm on a fairphone 4 and that was easily over $700. I have at the same time had a very easy time replacing the screen when it broke, and have just stashed several of the more breakable components, which it's nice that I can do that super simply.
I don't think fairphones are much cheaper from fairphone directly, though I might be wrong. Overall, I don't game on my phone, and the fairphone 4 has been able to tackle all my needs pretty well without issue. Most of my gripes come from minor glitches or certain features lacked in lineageOS, but tbf, it's still a very solid OS despite those minor issues.
Just discovered graphene runs on my two year old Motorola. Very cool that they support multiple manufacturers.
So, I use Nova on my Galaxy Note 9. Nova asked me to allow ads. I just kept closing the message until it stopped popping up.
I don't see ads anywhere on my phone.
Where are the ads supposed to be? Or is the concern more data harvesting than actually displaying ads?
The ads appeared at the top of the drawer for Me yesterday
Really hard to beat the Fossify launcher. Very similar to vanilla android, available on F-Droid... Far superior to /e/os having icons scattered everywhere.
