Do any of these allow for word wrapping of app titles into two or three lines of text and/or extending the text field horizontally? There's so much unused space below each app, and so many apps that don't display their whole title.

    GrouchyGrape You can find apks for modded versions of Nova Launcher 7 in various locations. I'd probably run stock launcher before I'd try that tbh.

      5 days later

      Lawnchair has a lot of no-gos

      It shows a warning that it is built for an older Android version. Not sure what SDK version that is, but it is probably very outdated.

      It has no support for separate work profile, the apps are just mixed in and cannot be disabled.

      No private space support at all.

        I used NovaLauncher very long, but the split screen feature caused a crash. May have been fixed. If you can pay it outside the playstore (I think you can) I might try it again. Really liked it back then.

        TinyBit Launcher, because it has more customizability than KISS. You can really go pixel perfect crazy there.

        On other devices (for a more classic launcher experience, but with a lot of customizability) I have Neo Launcher installed.

        Neither have private space support yet, though.

        I tried Lawnchair builds some years ago, but had the worst experience in terms of stability and memory use, plus I seem to remember it has proprietary blobs.

        Byku Hi. How's the recent apps issue with Nova? I still have a Nova Prime license but stopped using it because there were some issues, especially with the Recents shortcut while using gestures. It wasn't great right after it was implemented.

        I'll probably install it and take it for a spin to see how's it behaving.

            sumactea I didnt, I used their official Github releases. And the latest one was outdated. Unless they have a really strange release system, I doubt that the beta uses recent SDK versions

            Ok well that was the case. Their 15 nightly looks pretty different, doesnt show the warning.

            Still

            • no private space support
            • work profile is shown and greyed out but cannot be toggled

              Gave Novalauncher another try. Seems you can only get the beta outside of the playstore, but that is free?

              Damn I like Novalauncher. The essentials, like the global search etc are just best.

              Need to say, the work profile works smoother on the AOSP launcher, and it still has no support for private space so still no option.

                Endless
                I subsequently purchased Pro Launcher to support the Dev. Great Launchers, but I very much miss Windows Phone interface.

                    missing-root re Lawnchair, the last formally published version is A12, I think, but they have beta A14 and A15 available. A15 is buggy right now, but they are working on it.

                      sumactea Thanks for pointing out. Is there a way to purchase the prime version outside the Play Store?

                          73kk13 IIRC you have to buy the prime license through the play store, but it doesn't have to be on the device where you want to use it - it could be on your PC. Then you just email the developer and give him your play store ID or something like that and when he have verified that he has recieved the payment he will send you a code you can use to activate prime.

                          I would probably weight a little buying prime though as he haven't released a new beta since mid-summer IIRC and i'm wondering if he is still maintaining the project.

                            GrouchyGrape v8.1.1

                            aurocha Gesture shortcut for recent apps seems to work. Nova has the same bug as other custom launchers in recent apps: when you use the home gesture and then the recent apps gesture a black tab appears in recent apps. This is not specific only to this launcher.
