µLauncher is an Android home screen that lets you launch apps using swipe gestures and button presses.
|
||||
It is *minimal, efficient and free of distraction*.
|
||||
|
||||
Your home screen only displays the date, time and a wallpaper.
|
||||
Pressing back or swiping up (this can be configured) opens a list
|
||||
of all installed apps, which can be searched efficiently.
|
||||
|
||||
This is a fork of [finnmglas's app Launcher][original-repo].

µLauncher is a fork of [finnmglas's app Launcher][original-repo].

An incomplete list of changes can be found [here](docs/launcher.md).
|
||||
|
||||
## Features
|
||||
|
||||
µLauncher only displays the date, time and a wallpaper.
|
||||
Pressing back or swiping up (this can be configured) opens a list
|
||||
of all installed apps, which can be searched efficiently.
|
||||
|
||||
The following gestures are available:
|
||||
- volume up / down,
|
||||
- swipe up / down / left / right,
|
||||
- swipe with two fingers,
|
||||
- swipe on the left / right resp. top / bottom edge,
|
||||
- draw < / > / V / Λ
|
||||
- click on date / time,
|
||||
- double click,
|
||||
- long click,
|
||||
- back button.
|
||||
|
||||
To every gesture you can bind one of the following actions:
|
||||
- launch an app,
|
||||
- open a list of all / favorite / private apps,
|
||||
- open µLauncher settings,
|
||||
- toggle private space lock,
|
||||
- lock the screen,
|
||||
- toggle the torch,
|
||||
- volume up / down,
|
||||
- go to previous / next audio track.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
µLauncher is compatible with [work profile](https://www.android.com/enterprise/work-profile/),
|
||||
so apps like [Shelter](https://gitea.angry.im/PeterCxy/Shelter) can be used.
|
||||
|
||||
By default the font is set to [Hack][hack-font], but other fonts can be selected.

## Notable changes compared to [Finn's Launcher][original-repo]:
|
||||
|
||||
* Edge gestures: There is a setting to allow distinguishing swiping at the edges of the screen from swiping in the center.
|
||||
* Compatible with [work profile](https://www.android.com/enterprise/work-profile/), so apps like [Shelter](https://gitea.angry.im/PeterCxy/Shelter) can be used.
|
||||
* The home button now works as expected.
|
||||
|
||||
### Visual
|
||||
* This app uses the system wallpaper instead of a custom solution.
|
||||
* The font has been changed to [Hack][hack-font].
|
||||
* Font Awesome Icons were replaced by Material icons.
|
||||
* The gear button on the home screen was removed. Instead pressing back opens the list of applications and the app settings are accessible from there.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Search
|
||||
* The search algorithm was modified to prefer matches at the beginning of the app name, i.e. when searching for `"te"`, `"termux"` is sorted before `"notes"`.
|
||||
* The search bar was moved to the bottom of the screen.
|
||||
|
||||
### Technical
|
||||
* Small improvements to the gesture detection.
|
||||
* Different apps set as default.
|
||||
* Package name was changed to `de.jrpie.android.launcher` to avoid clashing with the original app.
|
||||
* Dropped support for API < 21 (i.e. pre Lollypop)
|
||||
* Some refactoring
