Different launchers?

brandy078 It depends on whether you want to use them or not, I don't and all permissions remain on your device, it could be that your device connects to third-party services if you use third-party services like Nextcloud.

I use a plugin with Breezy Weather for the weather and Fossify Calender for the calendar, Kvaesitso doesn't have access to the calendar and location, Breezy Weather is set to manual location which only activates if I open the app.

As mentioned above you only need to grant the permissions for certain features of the app. All permissions are actually completely optional if you don't mind losing some functionality.

As far as I'm aware none of the permissions are used with malicious intent and only for their core functionality. Having said that though I personally removed all the permissions when I used it anyways as I don't need the functionality.

I use KISS on all my android devices since it came out.

The current nightly build of Lawnchair (1855-99b65be) now also supports Private Spaces. This already works very well here with the latest GOS and a Pixel 8pro. So it looks good that Lawnchair 15 will support Private Space.

flamboule Thanks. I've tried Lawnchair 14 beta 3 iirc and liked it. Hopefully this feature will reach the beta channel soon.

Is the latest Lawnchair Dev version working without animation hickups when to swipe back to the home screen for you?

fablpro92 for me it does. Pixel 9 Pro XL, 0.5 animation speed.

Kvaesitso + Lawnicons is the way to go in my opinion. Clean and elegant while being a refreshing departure from the typical Android launcher.

I use a text-based launcher that I made to have a more minimalist workflow. I find that I prefer this approach over the standard icon-based launchers.

Only problems are the general android bugs with third party launchers (multitasking menu issues primarily), which exist on (as far as I know) all Android OSes, and the fact that I haven't updated my launcher to Android 15 yet, which primarily means that the private spaces feature is not yet present.

(I'm coming from iOS).

I wish there was a relatively bug-free third party Android launcher that could hold a candle to Apple’s Springboard, but they are all half-baked, glitchy mess. If you could, stick with the stock GOS launcher. It will be your safest option, albeit barebones.
