    Android stopped supporting 3rd party launchers…

    Um, what? I’m using one in my Pixel 8 Pro.

      How? I tried, but 3rd party launchers work worse because they load up after you close an app. Pixel Launcher has privileged permissions and can have smooth animations

        They (kinda) work on Samsung now if you turn off the animations. Regardless, the custom launcher on Android is dead.

          Well I don’t prefer gesture navigation but to suggest custom launchers on Android are dead is some of the most absurd shit I’ve read in a while.

        It sounds like the launcher app is killed while in the background. Make sure that the app is allowed to run in the background and not have any battery optimization enabled.
