3rd Party Launcher

[BYDGuy]

Anyone else use a 3rd party launcher ?

I use Microsoft's one simply because I like to be able to see notification icons on every app and not what Android / Google allow etc

Also like it I can alter home screen too compared to default one

If you use one, which do you use and does using these launchers hide features in OneUI5?

I also use Microsoft Launcher because I find the Home screen and Apps Screen customisation it offers to be much better than OneUI. I also like the Bing daily wallpaper, which again, I prefer to the Samsung offering. All of the other offerings from MS launcher are personally of no interest. After the beta has ended I'll try GoodLock's HomeUp which has been suggested elsewhere. (It won't run in beta).
I find it a shame because I'd rather lose MS Launcher and run my phone as close to stock-OneUi as I could.

Hello @BYDGuy

In One UI, it is also possible to enable notification icons on each app. To enable this view, go to Settings > Notifications > Advances settings > enable "App icon badges". Is this the function you described? 🤔

[BYDGuy]

Yeah, I've heard of GoodLock's too which I may try too tbh, OneUI is limited in its entirety tbh

[BYDGuy]

Yes, but not all apps only a select few apps

I use Nova Launcher, been for years. Been able to set an custom for each apps, gestures and a few other things has made it my go to launcher.

Yeah I used to use Nova too

Went to Microsoft's because no matter what phone you have you sign back into Microsoft's Launcher using your account and it saves your home screen layout etc which is handy if you like your apps in certain places lol
