there are tons of open-source launchers that have caught my interest, but none of them are as bare-bones as my SL config.
i have none of the listed features, i am also (apparently) missing adaptive icons, “smart” widgets, folders, and “ultra immersive mode”. not that they have managed to tell me why i need them.
looks like some of these are included in the old license, like custom sorting and categories, and extra widget pages (i don’t really use widgets).
lawnchair actually wasn’t on my radar, mostly because it’s not in the f-droid default repo. i recently added in izzyondroid and it popped up. unfortunately it has no app categories and no way to customize gestures so it’s out. thanks for the suggestion though.
