Note that this is done in a remote server. The launcher gets your list of apps and then it sends it to a computer you don’t necessarily trust. I won’t recommend it for privacy concerns (it can’t be disabled, unless you take out the internet permission from the launcher… which is a good practice, anyway).
At least that was how it worked while I used it years ago for a long time. I don’t think anything has changed.
1.4 Each time you attempt to interact with Smart Launcher, such as when you request automatic sorting for an app or the list of available themes, you will send and receive data for which your Network will charge at your usual data rates.
most icons in the statusbar hidden via lineage OS settings. what you can see is: battery charge limit, clock, root, vpn (orbot) & battery level.
long press on the home button takes me to the kiss launcher to quickly search for contacts, apps, websites, fairphone forum topics & tags

I’m using the old Android 5 FP2 Launcher, simply because it allows to have the homepage centered. Newer launchers always go to the leftest page when one presses home and I hate it, it just doubles the amount of swipes needed to get to a page and doesn’t have any advantages over a centered layout.
However, I’m not a fan of edge swipe and the launcher lacks some other features I’d like to have (such as removing apps from the app list), so I’ve been waiting since May for the next update of Zim Launcher which is going to add the centered layout, but I’m afraid it’ll never come
Wallpaper: a photo of a street painting I took back in 2016. It was located in a centric place of Madrid and, unfortunately, it’s history now. This is my personal tribute. It says (in Spanish):
“Poem of the polluted city: I shot an arrow into the air and it stuck”.
