When I first installed this app I had a Launcher 2 version I used but when it installed it uninstalled ot and applied itself. I got really mad for the fact and I was used to a 4 row grid. I got used to it and everything went fine until the Google app on the left stopped opening. I tried turning the feature off and on in settings, restarting my device, but nothing helped. please find a solution to this...

Ia this still alive? Android 10 gesture mode, you cannot use the recent apps gesture. (Swipe up is home, but if you dont swipe all the way up it shows you recent apps in most other launchers) It's FOSS and lite. The backgrounds are not cropped properly. But really all I'm looking for is an app drawer. (All apps displayed) I'm not interested in a background. Do you know a launcher that's just an app drawer?

Overall the launcher works perfect. One thing that annoys me is whenever I tap on WhatsApp icon, instead opening the app it asks me which WhatsApp to open(As I have a cloned WhatsApp). But when I click on Cloned WhatsApp icon, it normally opens the clone app. But the original icon asks me everytime which one to open. Please fix this ASAP.

I like that my Galaxy S20+ is looking very similar to my Pixel 2, however the 'at a glance' section at the top of my home screen is only showing the calendar, not the weather, which is annoying. Also I liked having the news section to the left of my home screen, but this is now gone. If these two could be fixed it would be almost perfect.

Its a great launcher, mind you, fast and lightweight. Oh my favorite two words. One thing i can't be certain is that the search bar in App Drawer is the one from Google. I know it for real that it used to be the standard one from the Launcher itself for finding local stuffs. Sure Google's better and offer more but could you please made it an option so that we can chose whether to use the standard or Google's search bar? Thank you.

I'm a Note 20 Ultra user, and I find this launcher to be a very smooth, snappy, and effective Pixel experience. I wish I could adjust larger widgets to smaller sizes, though. Also, the "At a glance" option on the settings lacked the weather functionality until I disabled it and implemented the Google app widget. Also, I wish I could disable the app drawer arrow over the main 5 shortcut icons. Adding some more flexibility and features would go a long way in making this the best Pixel experience!
