I really like the simple, stock - ish layout on my home screen, which rules out a few popular suggestions like Niagara.

  • I liked Lawnchair, but development is dead. Even the new alpha hasn’t been updated in a year or more, and is missing features.
  • Neo Launcher perhaps came close to being the most ideal, but it is buggy as hell and also hasn’t been updated in a year
  • Nova is what I’m using now, but I hate that it does not remember the drawer groups for each app once they’re reinstalled. I work as an app tester and having to sort work apps manually every time drives me up the wall

Does anyone here have any suggestions?

this is what I use. I’m over sorting, I just want to type in the name of the thing I want to launch

I used OLauncher for a while, which is really nice for this purpose. Just text based and has a quick search in the app drawer. Currently use Lunar Launcher because it looks nicer. Does miss a few features like hiding apps or renaming (which OLauncher does have). I have been thinking about forking it to add this
