Why another launcher? This is an launcher project I started from scratch and with a little help of some library because I want to create an unique Android experience for myself, now I share with you.

Comments on OpenLauncher (Alpha/Unstable) for Android
★★★★★
Great launcher, as an open source app is totally dependent of the good will and time of the guys on github. Looking forward to some option to organize the apps inside the app drawer.
★★★★★
Feels buggy. Gestures (except double tap to lock) don't work. But, that's understandable. Does not use much resources. Simple to use. Keep up the good work devs. I am going to use this. 👏👏👏 Suggestions: App drawer should include 'a-z' scroll bar (please). Ability to change icon LEBEL size is needed. App search option in gesture settings would be great.
★★★★★
I have tried a lot of launchers and this is my favourite. Lightweight and minimal permissions. Remarkably stable for an alpha version. This is only going to get better and it's already amazing.
★★☆☆☆
I got a message saying the app had crashed, with RIP and a nice graphic. I was unable to uninstall the app and had to download a different launcher (Nova Launcher) which I actually prefer. OpenLauncher also had an issue where it would not be able to display icons on the home screen properly. They'd become cropped on the top and bottom, and the only way to get them back to normal was to lock and then unlock the home screen. I also noticed the digital clock widget kept disappearing.
★★☆☆☆
crashes as soon as i try to scroll thru app list
