#Android #FOSS launcher:
I just have to recommend #μLauncher to EVERYONE! My whole smartphone experience is a million times better when using it!

When using this launcher, there are basically no more icons on the homescreen. Widgets are allowed. Apps are now launched through gestures or through a search that automatically launches an app when it becomes the sole search result.
For me personally this is a gamechanger since I actually just open the app that I want to check in that moment. Often I think "let me check xy" then I take my phone, get distracted, open z instead of xy to see "what's up" lol. This way there is no distraction.
I would also say that it slightly enhances #privacy against shoulder-surfing, not giving away info about installed apps when the homescreen is open.
Thanks to Quiet Fox for the recommendation through his newsletter!
I never used another launcher on GrapheneOS because I never felt it added anything above the default one. But this one... is AMAZING!!
I wonder though; if I allow the launcher to lock the screen (meaning I make it an admin app) I cannot unlock the phone with GrapheneOS's 2FA unlock (which is fingerprint followed by PIN) but have to enter my long primary passphrase each time (due to some "work policy" I never set according to the lock screen's info banner). Any hint on how to change that?
