What is wrong with launcher repositories not placing a screenshot if their launcher in the readme.md
Because some people consider the readme to mostly text and informative. This one does link to the actual website, which does contain screenshots. To answer your question: nothing’s wrong with it. 😉
That aside, I’ve been on Kvaesitso for quite a while, now, and it’s quite nice. You kinda have to get over it being different from a lot of other launchers.

Dragon launcher is what I use, lawnchair is also alright
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.
So I have a story for you. I own a fairphone 3+ for a little more than 5 years now.
Recently, while doing the dishes, my phone accidentally slipped in the sink. I protected it with a phone case and a screen protection, but still, panic ensued.
I removed the battery as fast as possible, dried it up as best as I could, restarted it, and it worked just fine.
Well, most of it at least. The jack port took some damage but ended up fixing itself (???) and the usb- charge port refused to charge the phone unless it was tilted a specific way.
Doesn’t matter, I ordered a new usb-c module for less than 30€, and replaced it (i’m not really good hardware-wise, but fortunately, it was pretty easy). Now it works like a charm.
I feel like an event like this would have been a death sentence for most other phones, and even if it wasn’t, my clumsy ass keeps dropping my phone, so it might have been even sooner.
So far, this phone just refuses to die. It might be slightly outdated and buggy at times (apparently it got better in the last iterations), but it is still very much usable with no critical failure yet.
wish i could buy one for me :((((
I just tried total launcher. Love most of it, but still trying to figure out things like multiple docks, etc.
I’m on the same train. I recently replaced Nova with Total Launcher and still trying to figure out how to do stuff with it. My home screen is evolving day by day, but generally it has a steep learning curve. Do you maybe know of any good online resources for Total Launcher apart from the official blogspot?
Tried several and landed on action launcher.
bring back USB3.0/DP out on the FP7 and I’ll bite. The FP6 going to USB2.0 screwed the pooch for me.
Want kind of use cases do you have for your phone that that’s relevant? Sure it’s nice to have, but I can’t even remember when I last moved files to/from my phone
Fast Seedvault offline backups. Say you’re traveling and wanna backup your phone to a fast usb ssd, or you need to transfer everything to another phone without Internet
Me too but mostly because it’s kind of awkward
As another commenter said, seedvault is a huge part of it. That, and when I am taking video to upload somewhere, it would take forever to transfer a 20-120 minute 4k file.
And file transfer isnt the only reason. Android 16/17 are bringing desktop docking features, and thats s feature I’ve wanted on phones since Android 8. I have a device with DP out now, and as someone who owns a dock its a game changer for events where I need to display to something fast. I can’t wait for it to be a fully fleshed out DE. (Not to mention the fact that Chromecast is a shitty format that my is doesnt even support)
Pear Launcher is nice. Fossify Home is good, too. I prefer Pear since it lets you use icon themes.
I still cry myself to sleep after the premature death of Windows Mobile, so I use Launcher10, which brings the Tiles back to life.
I started experimenting with a super minimalist Folder Launcher, but it doesn’t seem ready for release yet, a couple of crucial (IMO) features (like default settings, bulk edits, proper apps list) are still missing.
There’s also Fossify Launcher Beta, which is an open source launcher. It’s fairly basic, but gets the job done. A super cool feature of the Fossify apps (since two releases ago) is the option to set your own fonts from a file, so I’m running their Calendar, Phone, Contacts, Calculator, etc., all with the Nothing Phone’s dot font.
Kvaesitso is really nice ! And it’s open source
i use Niagara and I like it, but its a little different. if you want a more traditional one ive heard lawnchair is good.
I use Pie Launcher on mine, but then again i am a bit strange at times.
Here is how it looks like for me.
You should be using PieFed with the Pie launcher.
Bruh what the fever dream fuck!? Am I a fuckin normie or can someone back me on that being extra af?
Cool though
That’s awesome I hate it
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
Ewww I just saw one, yeah. Thanks for answering too. I literally never use that feature though so I can probably just ignore them if that’s the only place they are.
lawnchair
