Request: BlissLauncher3 on F-Droid for everyone

On my main device I use the Microsoft Launcher, which I am very happy with in terms of the concept, but of course it cannot be compared with BlissLauncher3 in terms of data protection and is currently quite buggy on my device. I would like to replace it - other launchers that I tried in the meantime came close to this one in terms of variety, but never in terms of convenience, until I installed /e/OS on my second device.
Unfortunately, I can only find the outdated version of the predecessor Bliss Launcher on F-Droid and not BlissLauncher3. I would very much like to see this for all devices as soon as possible. It is a wonderful product.

Before switching to e/os, I managed to install bmisslauncher3 on my lineage device by using the APK generated on the gitlab repository of the project.

You’ll have to :

  1. visit this link : Artifacts · e / os / BlissLauncher3 · GitLab
  2. Download the latest artifacts.zip file, extract it
  3. Navigate all the way down to the APK file
  4. Install it

BlissLauncher will then be available as a default launcher.

In my experience, this works well enough. They were a few crashes, and some animations were a bit stuttery, but very usable nonetheless.

I’ll admit it would be better to have in on f-droid…

I wasn’t aware, but there seems to be a few more steps to follow. It’s all explained in the readme of the project:
