Android 7 Nougat / 8 Oreo / 9 Pie: Home screens / Launchers

A bit mysterious how I didn’t find this thread when searching for ‘home screen’ and ‘launcher’ but here we are!

@robbert.f that’s because we aren’t as SEO’d as your clickbait-friends at XDA :wink:

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 :frowning:

I moved your post here, so you don’t have to wait so long, there are already some screens here :wink: .

Using the folders option a fair bit.
