  • Unfortunately, the only way seems to be to use another launcher. I’ve been using the non-free Smart Launcher, which meets my needs well and has a decent level of features and customization. I also quite like Kvaesisto which has a highly customizable and powerful search (FOSS).

    I don’t think that there is a major Pixel/AOSP based launcher in development rn, but someone else may know of one. Lawnchair is ancient history, NeoLauncer is dead.

    • Turns out that Lawnchair is back in active development, but had not yet had a new stable release. You may want to check it out if you don’t mind relying on a beta version.








  • Thanks, this is one of the few truly beginner-friendly blogs I’ve found (not just this post, but the entire blog). It would be great for people to suggest some other more up-to-date resources for someone starting out. Specifically, this blog talks about trying and comparing different setups, factoring in costs, time commitments, dealing with setbacks, preparing for different use cases, etc.

    There are lots of resources that share technical details, how-tos, system specs, etc., but not many that I’ve found walking through the decision making process including what worked and what didn’t and why.
