hello, you can change your launcher app and you will get rid of all you mentionned
Well, it took my quite a while to get accquainted to Bliss, but now I actually love it - and its simplicity. I do no think that mixing a bit the Android & iOS UI looks can really be a solution. They are based on two very different design concepts - either keeping all apps on the home screens or allowning to hide them in a drawer.
I’d prefer to have - above all - a coherent and simple launcher. That’s what Bliss is to me. I do not mean that there’s no room for further improvement, I just don’t think it makes seens to please each and everyone. For all who really don’t like it Bliss, LOS’ Trebuchet launcher could be just a click away b.t.w., (would be great to include it into the App store).
The problem is finding something FLOSS and privacy respecting which doesn’t force another bizarre paradigm on me. I like Trebuchet but it’s only available on LOS as far as I know.
I think you could download an LOS image and search for it inside (or maybe I’m wrong)
I have no idea how to do that or even if it’s possible.
Well, here you could find a downloadable version of Trebuchet that works as well with /e/: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-lineageos-15-trebuchet-laucher-rom-t3667436
Cool. Thank you very much.
I use that XDA Trebuchet launcher on a few ROMs. It’s nice but based on Launcher3 like so many others (Pixel, Lawnchair, Lean Launcher, et all) so it’s not really like the old Trebuchet.
I use KISS launcher on my /e/ ROMs which fits me better. Not a fan of swiping around anymore.
Hi! wondering why no one here recommends OpenLauncher (from F-Droid). Just tried some launchers from F-Droid and OpenLauncher is just as good as Trebuchet, as far as I can tell after 30min of playing around with it.
it seems to be a really good alternative to Bliss and even Trebuchet.
A few days back I also checked everything in F-Droid and tested several of the most advanced and promising launchers there, including OpenLauncher. Now I don’t think it really can match Lawnchair.
oh. wow. well, also nice, yes. Next time I’ll try this one probably. but my wife is happy with that one for now and I hope to get some more important things done these days.
Perhaps a toggle option to turn the app drawer on or off is a good solution!
Precisely! This would be a good solution.
Perhaps this could be made optional as well, through a toggle
The last time I checked with the developer that was very much on his list of updates to the BlissLauncher. A solution that will satisfy both the iOS and Android camp followers
why not just ask at first boot:
For your own comfort: Was your last phone an iPhone?
(if, then bliss, else Lawnchair)
Or more obvious:
Please choose your preferred Design. Of course it’s possible to change the Launcher later as well.
Choice: Bliss, iPhone-like(Screenshot) or Android (Screenshot)?
the chosen one will be made the standard app, the other one will stay in the background. in settings you can find a toggle switch and that’s it.
I personally, I prefer round symbols and the launcher looks just… cheap? 2D? compared to other launchers at least…
yeah, I remember now. The website of lawnchair looks “up to date”. but on F-droid it is told to be discontinued, therefore I didn’t even try it last week. openLauncher ist still continued, therefore I’d recommend to use that one as a stock app instead of Lawnchair.
Due to some inconveniences from F-Droids side, the Lawnchair’s team has stopped maintaining this version just recently. Now we need to install Lawnchair from Play Store.
