I downloaded it but I’ll just watch for updates for now. First thing I tried, I wasn’t able to do.
I tried to put a folder of apps on the quick bar (or whatever it’s called) at the bottom of the screen.
It defaults to phone, messages, browser, play store, and camera. I tried putting phone and messages in a folder and it would only let me do that if it was actually on the home screen. Even doing that and trying to drag it into the bar didn’t work.
I’m still glad for this and hope it improves, I just can’t use it yet.
Edit: looks like it’s already a logged issue: https://github.com/FossifyOrg/Launcher/issues/24.
I’ll also keep an eye on it. I really like it’s simplicity, but not allowing me to resize my weather widget to fill the screen horizontally is a deal killer.
The positioning of the icons I can work around, but asymmetric widgets? No way.
It took me some moments to figure out that this is an Android launcher. Nice. I guess it will be on droid at some point.
It’s already on F-Droid if you meant that.
It didn’t happen with SimpleMobileTools but it might happen with Fossify:
A Custom ROM that replaces the stock apps with this suite would be just a wonderful idea! I’d love to see this happen. If anyone wants to collaborate on such an idea, let me know.
They actually did that with the SimplePhone. Last time I looked the pages were down but I know I archived them on the wayback machine.
They made lots of promises, including that a downloadable ROM would be available, the whole thing quickly crashed and burned.
Reddit had some pretty extensive threads about it. The whole thing seemed like a grift (it was) and convinced me to dump all their apps.
Anyway, if this is something you want to do you could check those threads, I know people linked to the phone they were using (from Alibaba) and the source code was on Codeberg iirc.
They would need to fix the SMS app first (lots and lots of bugs, not the least of which is that it likes to split MMS group chats up into separate 1 on 1 threads with every single participant as soon as you reply to the group)
Thats a setting you can change, and not a bug but the intentional default behavior because MMS is much more expensive than SMS in many parts of the world
Extremely barebones but im glad for the effort
Fossify is great. I replaced some stupid anti-privacy GApps with them.
Holy shit YES!
(Don’t forget to donate)I recommend Lawnchair. I’m currently using LineageOS so my launcher is trebuchet. Unfortunately los don’t package it separately.
I finally replaced all of the proprietary default apps with fossify ones, sadly they lack a few nice features (the keyboard doesnt have auto-correct or suggestions).
How about FUTO Keyboard?
@Tick_Dracy not open-source
My bad. I thought it was.
