BlissLauncher has been updated to Version 3.0.1-beta. I still won’t use it, though, as widget usage is still locked to one screen and there is no app drawer (I don’t like it to have all app icons on my screens). I currently use Lawnchair 14 fork by Gooler which is regularly updated in contrast to official Lawnchair 14 that currently only offers regular nightly updates (they are not considered to be stable). Although Lawnchair 14 is still in heavy development and I also experienced some bugs, I did not find a similar experience with other launchers that are Open Source, privacy-respecting, and free of tracking and ads. Considering other BlissLauncher alternatives, I won’t recommend to use those old launchers mentioned in this thread as they are long outdated and therefore a security risk @Zok @bjoern52 @LilBeth
Positive Notes
-
Finally Browser & WebView was updated from last Bromite Version 119.0.6045.200 (no updates for almost half a year now) to Cromite Version 123.0.6312.122, still not the lastest but way to go
-
4G/5G/LTE Call icons cloating the right side of the status bar (introduced in v1.21) have been removed, thank you.
-
Subjectively, opening and navigating between Apps feels to behave faster in comparison to v1.x
-
I like the systems new default icons introduced with v2.0
Issues
- [UNSOLVED since v1.15] Issue with OpenCamera focus, same as reported here: “camera focus works fine though the rectangle appears red after tapping for focus on a certain area. Taking a picture results in a fine sharp photo.” With v1.13 focusing was fine and mostly showed a green rectangle when with v1.15 there is now mostly a red one
