[![][shield-license]][license] # Launcher This is a fork of [finnmglas's app Launcher][original-repo]. ## Notable changes: * Edge gestures: There is a setting to allow distinguishing swiping at the edges of the screen from swiping in the center. ### Visual * This app uses the system wallpaper instead of rolling 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 --- --- [hack-font]: https://sourcefoundry.org/hack/ [original-repo]: https://github.com/finnmglas/Launcher [store-googleplay]: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.jrpie.android.launcher [store-googleplay-badgecampain]: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.jrpie.android.launcher&pcampaignid=pcampaignidMKT-Other-global-all-co-prtnr-py-PartBadge-Mar2515-1 [store-fdroid]: https://f-droid.org/packages/de.jrpie.android.launcher/ [shield-release]: https://img.shields.io/github/v/release/jrpie/Launcher?style=flat [shield-contribute]: https://img.shields.io/badge/contributions-welcome-007ec6.svg?style=flat [shield-license]: https://img.shields.io/badge/license-MIT-007ec6?style=flat [shield-gh-watch]: https://img.shields.io/github/watchers/jrpie/Launcher?label=Watch&style=social [shield-gh-star]: https://img.shields.io/github/stars/jrpie/Launcher?label=Star&style=social [shield-gh-fork]: https://img.shields.io/github/forks/jrpie/Launcher?label=Fork&style=social [license]: https://github.com/jrpie/Launcher/blob/master/LICENSE
