Olauncher and Private Space

Szuwi

Mlauncher also support private space and is well maintained https://github.com/DroidWorksStudio/mLauncher go to Gestures-> clock on logo -> and then set private space.

If you want a minimalist interface, I also think μLauncher is fully recommended, in fact, it offers more interesting, and I'd even write essential features than the default launcher.

Xtreix What are some features it has? Also is that Conker in your PFP??

Xtreix

Pixelpioneer88 It has features with swipe gestures such as displaying only my favorite apps, renaming them, deleting/hiding icons etc, it also supports private space and works well. more information here: https://github.com/jrpie/Launcher.

Yes, it's Conker on my PFP.

Xtreix That is awesome. I really just want to use my phone as a "dumbphone" Literally for communications, maybe navagation, and listen to an audio book .

Xtreix It also would be awesome if I could only like have 4 or 5 apps on the home screen all in TEXT. But i Think that is possible. Don't have the phone yet so I can't test unfortunately

Pixelpioneer88 If you want to display some apps as text on the home screen, Unlauncher and Olauncher offer it, but not μLauncher, μLauncher is my choice for a minimalist interface because the alternatives I know don't support Private Space, I also like the fact that it's available on Accrescent, that's also why I choose it.

Xtreix Oh shoot that is a bummer

Pixelpioneer88

Xtreix So you are saying μLauncher has no text based home screen? Nothing I can change in settings?

Xtreix

Pixelpioneer88 You can display the date and time, or one of them, or leave it blank as you like, but you can't display applications.

I'm not sure that's a problem, because what's interesting are the shortcuts via swipe gestures: you just display the list of apps with a simple gesture, it takes 1 second, and you can add as many apps as you like to your favorites.

I used Unlauncher before, and it was pretty good, but that was before I used Private Space

µLauncher dev here, thanks for all the recommendations!
A few days ago, support for app widgets was added, so if you really want to add some shortcuts to the home screen, you can now do that using widgets. (Personally I prefer having only the clock there)
