I replaced Sync which is what I used for Reddit, for Summit. No issues at all and actively developed, unlike Sync. It’s clearly taken a lot of inspiration from Sync’s feature set and I am very happy with it.

Action can do this. I believe it was implemented on Action before Nova anyway but it’s years ago at this point… But yeah that’s the main feature I miss with all the other launchers.

I can’t quite remember how the in app purchase element of it works, I appear to have paid to be a supporter in 2022, I think around then maybe is when they changed payment models and annoyed people idk.

It’s too integral a part of my usage for me to worry about, as much as I love FOSS stuff. I’m totally happy with the small amount I’ve contributed. The app is still releasing updates.

I switched to action launcher years ago and it still works great. The ability to have a default app in a folder is so convenient, you tap to open the app you use most, or swipe to open the full folder. I’m not aware of another launcher which allows this.

I only have one screen for everything I need because of this feature, with the full app list available on the left and a widget panel with my calendar and weather on the right.

I never see it mentioned in these threads though, I guess because it’s not FOSS. I tried lawnchair and the gap in features is massive.

A true classic

Thanks very much, I’ll give it a try.

I love the sound of this, how are you turning the features off?

EDIT: I have developer options enabled but what specific things are you tweaking?

Obviously there’s no guarantee they will exist still in 5/6 years but one can hope!

Considering the fairphone 6… I have the 6a for more than 2.5y even though I hate it versus the 3a it replaced. So it almost got to the 3y anyway

Thanks, I did try that but none of the widgets work properly for me 😔

The base launcher seems rock solid so far annoyingly so it’s a question of which compromise can I live with. The features on Action are SO far beyond what Pixel launcher has it’s not even a comparison

Thanks, it feels like a memory/RAM issue but obviously Google messed up the 6a all around so I wouldn’t put it past them to nerf it wherever possible. The battery issue resolution options on the 6a are clearly geared towards Google store credit, but I don’t think I’m getting another pixel in future so useless to me.

Call of Cthulhu has the best general system which is the most intuitive and easy to run that I have tried. All your skills are percentages so it takes people no time at all to learn the basics and rolls are fast. So the rules get out of the way of the story.

Delta Green is an extension of this and one of my favourites to run. The main rules change is that when your character suffers stress, you can choose to defer the points hit to your characters friends and family (Bonds, in game parlance). These degrading relationships can then play out as roleplay later as your character begins to lose their grip.

I’m more of a Volcano person anyway

My opinion is that “Black Snape” is a poor choice of words.

What are some of the ones you’ve tried and how do you define minimal?

I use action launcher but I guess that does quite a few things… I haven’t changed my setup or layout in about 7 or 8 years!
