I used to use Neo Launcher as an open source replacement for Nova Launcher. Unfortunately it’s haunted by a terrible bug that regularly resets my home screen. Now I’m looking for a replacement. All I need is the ability to change the home screens grid size, the app icons (ideally also the names) and hide apps from the drawer. Any suggestions? EDIT: It should also be open source, obviously.

      A data mining community bought it in 2022.

      It made a lot of users upset and they moved on. I still us it. I paid for it, it did everything I want, and it’s sent a whole 25kb of data so far this year. I haven’t seen any actually evidence they’re doing anything nefarious with it.

    Usually I recommend KISS or Kvaesitso, but with the customisation you ask for, maybe Lawnchair?

    I’m open to suggestions too. I stuck with Nova Launcher and disabled its network permission. I can’t seem to find anything open source that runs as quickly and enables anywhere close to the customization. I don’t see a privacy issue related to Nova selling out (now that it can’t touch the Internet).

    I stuck with it for a long time but it does seem like those bugs are sadly never being fixed. Recently switched to Kvaesitso, it’s a bit weird initially but now I’ve set up a load of app groups/tags I’m pretty pleased with it.
