Lightening Launcher. Its now old but still puts all you showed to shame. a HUGE learning curve, and the default setup on install really sux. But once you learn and custiomize, I have yet to find anything close. It Rotates, transparencies, resizes (X & Y can be different, and then maybe rotated) can add code, folders in folders, and widgets within folders etc etc etc If you can think it, it can do it.I have used it since gingerbread and have never found anything that even comes close. But be prepared, you have to commit the time.

I do have a Sammy phone and use OneUI. My favorite thing about it, how clean of a UI it is by default. Also mixing the Goodlock suite of apps to it as well gives you quite a bit more to be able to mod and customize. Finally have an effective way of increasing the lockscreen timout option. Just would be nice if Samsung would fix the Flow app.

@@barrelracer318 gawd I couldn't disagree more. Been using Samsung phones for years but the first thing I do when I get a new one is install a third party launcher because almost anything is better than OneUI. To each their own, I guess.

@barrelracer318 Ай бұрын

@pjaypender1009 yeah. Oneui can be a pain with how limited it is. But it also doesn't seem clunky. That was one of my main things. I used to use 3rd party UI for a long time. Especially during my time with the note5 and very early on woth the note7. But those ui would have issues with basic functionality of the phones added features. Not that oneui utilizes them ideally at times either. But none of the other UI could utilize the spen fully among a few other things. And I use my spen alot. So much so that I replace the tip in it at least once or twice during my time with that gen phone. But I do understand OUI is feature lacking at times compared to other launchers, and may not be as visually pleasing. But Samsung has gone a long way to may it just work good and reliably. Although I hate how much resources a simple wallpaper can chew up on OUI.

Just switched to Total for the first time, have been using Nova since like 2014. Total is great, a bit of a learning curve. I honestly can't recommend it to anyone but the most heavy power user. If Nova had two screen support, I'd switch back in a heatbeat

Related to the iOS-like launcher - there is an app that emulates the dynamic island, called Dynamic Spot. I have an Oneplus Nord 2, using its stock UI because it works perfectly for me, and I added this Dynamic Spot because it can replace the upper notification (for apps I want to) in a fun way. Cheers!

My measuring stick for Android launchers is a weird one but it works for me. That measure is: Does the launcher have the ability to nest folders? Can I put a folder full of app icons inside of another folder? The only launcher I've found that can do this is Nova launcher. It seems weird that in 2024 we can't put folders in folders. I don't do a bunch of customizations anymore but what I do use, Nova has. I always look at other launchers to see if they stack up yet but sadly they don't. Runners up: Glextor app manager. It can be used with any launcher as its app drawer and it has folders in folders. The only other app I've found is called "folder in folder". Good luck out there!

@Chesemiser 6 ай бұрын

Yeah I had a similar kind of measuring stick, can I categorize my app drawer, lead me to using LukeLauncher, has it's issues but I have yet to find any others that can compare to it's app drawer, there a few, like Fast Draw, Ox Shell and Neo Launcher but none of them seem to have been able to quite scratch that itch for me quite like it does.
