Launcher

This is a fork of finnmglas's app Launcher.

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 a custom solution.
  • The font has been changed to Hack.
  • 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.
  • 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
