Neo Launcher

What do people think of neo launcher?

E24 Have been using the latest version (0.9.3) for quite some time now without any issues (all permissions denied). According to their Github, they are currently finalizing a complete rebase to AOSP 13, which will soon be released. Can't speak for the code quality, but in general it's best to stick with the stock GrapheneOS launcher (less attack surface).

Neo Launcher has been discussed (and mentioned) on here numerous times. For example, an ongoing (and worthwhile read) discussion can be found here: https://discuss.grapheneos.org/d/6095-what-is-a-good-appstore-to-use-on-graphene-considerations.

[deleted] you're confusing Neo Launcher and Neo Store. ;)

If Neo launcher was natively offline it would be a perfect launcher for Android.. But it ask internet permission. Don't know why.

NewUser If you use the built in weather widget or the online search function, it obviously needs internet access to work. However, if you don't need these features, the launcher can be used without granting the internet permission.

I love neo launcher much more than lawnchair that I'm using now. But the antenna pod widget is taller and won't become more of a rectangle shape like on lawnchair. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks!
