Question makes no sense, it’s a feature not a need. I have written a launcher for a specific usecase.
Yep.
Yes!
Yes.
I recently got a Samsung device for work. I really gave the launcher a shot since I didn’t want to tinker with it. But after 2 days I couldn’t stand it anymore. So the answer to the post is yes!
Samsungs out of the box experience gives me anxiety to be honest. Had a few for work, luckily their singular purpose is running the authenticator app.
I’m using the Samsung S24 out of the box. What are you missing with it?
Curious, because I want to switch if there’s good arguments to do so.
samsung roms in general
Let me guess. All the features you love from third-party launchers, except anything resembling privacy.
Yes.
Yes
Yes even though android gestures are not working correctly with them and it’s best to revert to 3 buttons navigation.
Works fine with Niagara. What exactly is it not doing right?
I’ve had to give up on KISS launcher recently because of this. 95% of the time it works fine, until it scrolls right to the end of the lost and won’t allow you to scroll back. Swiping left and right then also breaks and the only thing to do is force stop quickstep.
Nova Launcher (7) works without problems on my Pixel 8 Pro. On my Xiaomi Mi 9 SE gestures with Nova were broken somehow, but now with the Pixel it’s fine again.
huh interesting currently using two pixels one with stock with Niagara and one on graphene with kiss I haven’t had that seemingly it’s phone based which is weird based on comments
It’s been years since this was an issue for any launcher still actively being updated, at least on the Poco and Fairphones I’ve had in that time.
Default launchers need ‘covers’ functionality, where a folder is opened via swipe, and tapping just launched the first app in the folder without needing to open it. It’s the main thing keeping me on custom launchers. That and icon packs.
I mean no, I don’t need a third party launcher, but I really don’t want to use the stock one.
This a questiın that shouldn’t be asked in the first place
I guess I’m the only one that’s stopped using a third party launcher… After getting an S23 and being on One UI 6 I’m finding I’m not hating the stock launcher anymore. I was using Nova forever.
Been using Action Launcher since it came out! My phone woukd be a completely different experience without it, and not for the better.
Yes.
