Rootless Pixel Launcher vs T4 Launcher
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
Rootless Pixel Launcher
Pixel Launcher is a close to AOSP launcher that only changes the necessary code to allow for small extensions and backporting to older Android versions. If you want a more feature packed launcher use Nova, Action or Lawnchair. Pixel Launcher is focused on simplicity and rock solid stability. Features include: * Search bar at the bottom * Wallpaper based theme selection * Regular Icon Packs * Adaptive Icon Packs, such as my Google Icons * Icon Shape selection on Android 8.0 For Pixel users, there's also a Magisk version.
T4 Launcher
Simple launcher consisting of a scrollable list of apps with predictive text filtering using 4 buttons. - short press launches app - long press opens app settings - back button removes last input - home button clears input - long press back button reloads list Example for input [A_F][A_F][S_Z][S_Z]
