Hi everyone, especially those of you who have tried launchers I’ve never tried…

Like a lot of people I dropped Nova a while back, following the beginning of the inevitable decline, which seems to be continuing as expected.

I’m back on a stock launcher for now, and it’s been fine but it lacks things… I miss the good days of Nova and being able to tweak everything!

The problem I’ve had with launchers I’ve tried is that they either don’t offer folders for the app draw, or if they do they don’t work right.

For example, lawn-chair would have an icon in and an icon out of the folder every time an app updated. 🤔

Also, I have a work profile on my device, courtesy of Shelter. Launchers seem to struggle with this, muddling up apps or missing them entirely sometimes.

Can anyone suggest a launcher which can handle folders well, and a work profile without issues?

Thanks! T

    using lawnchair at the moment. folders work, work profile… works.

    the only feature they don’t natively have that I miss from the stock launcher is frequent apps. I could install the plug-in, but I’m about to switch to graphene for the next phone so I’ll probably start from scratch and see how native graphene works.

      Interesting… No weird bugs with the folders?

      Maybe they fixed that since last time I checked

        Perhaps the ‘add new apps to the homescreen’ option is a little buggy? Like maybe the launcher thinks an updated app is a new app? Try turning that off.

        I had the issue appear when sliding apps into folders straight out of the appdrawer. If i add it to the homescreen first and then drag it into a folder, the issue is gone.

        Hope any of this helps.

      I use lawnchair on grapheneos. No issues with folders. Haven’t tried plugins or profiles.
