Hi everyone!
I'm happy to share my app, Octopi Launcher, which I've worked on for quite a while now.
Octopi Launcher is a launcher for Android, built with the latest trends in mind, which includes visual and haptic effects, and support for foldables.
Features:
- App drawer, dock and homescreen
- Different homescreen for different screen layout/ orientation/ size/ foldable position
- Widgets and (autoscrolling) widget stacks
- Home screen folders
- Fine/ free positioning of home screen apps and widgets
- Big home screen icons
- Swipe actions for icons
- Display drawer items as icons or tiles (or single list); sort by installed date or updated date
- App search + instant launch
- Icon pack support
- Wallpaper blur when opening app drawer (on supported devices)
- Work profile support
- Fun animations, reflections and haptic effects

I joined and downloaded, but I'm running into the issue where it crashes as soon as the intro window pops up. It looks like it's describing what it does, but it doesn't last long. I'm on a Pixel 7 Pro if that helps at all?

1 0 ReplyI don't think so? It's not that interesting since it just fails, but if you want to see it in action: https://litter.catbox.moe/5f5cks.mp4
1 0 ReplyThank you. That's my test device as well, so it could be due to the app list retrieval process. I'll look into it further
