Recently I wanted to try out a new launcher on my phone. I've installed 3-4 different launchers and they all had a huge privacy policy page about the large amount of data they would exfiltrate from the phone.
So your experience definitely doesn't come as a surprise.
- alexvoda 6y agoAll of you complaining about trafic caused by launcers and privacy concern should just try an open source launcher from fDroid. I settled for Lawnchair2. It does it job well enough.
- nullify88 6y agoLawnchair does a great job but at the time of use development slowed and when I switched phones I stuck to using the stock launcher. But its great to see an alpha for Android 11 was out a week ago. So I'll be jumping back on that bandwagon.
- mhitza 6y agoThanks for the suggestion. I usually roll with the default LineageOS Trebuchet launcher. However the last time I upgraded there wasn't a large enough warning that installing the micro gapps would overwrite the Trebuchet launcher, and also make it unavailable for switching. I'll give your suggestion a try, takes less time than reinstalling LineageOS :)
- oftenwrong 6y agoIf you want a lightweight launcher with few features and an atypical UI, try https://kisslauncher.com/ https://kisslauncher.com/ (available in the Play Store and in F-Droid). It shows your apps in a "frecency"-ordered, scrollable and searchable list.
