>Get action launcher don't listen to these cucks
Second this. Action launcher is the cleanest most functional launcher. You really don't need anything else

>>55592729
This. 3D touch actions are teh shit. This new widget implementation is fantastic.
>>
Stock.

>>55592729

>>55593014
Whats not to like. Simplicity is king.

I use ADW launcher but I never see anyone else use it these days

Nova, it should literally be the stock launcher on ALL android phones.

I store apps on my SD. Whenever I reboot, AL3 deletes the shortcut, and I'm too lazy to restore a backup. I stuck with Nova.

I should probably hand in my /g/ent id card but I installed MS' Arrow launcher on my moto e and I have 0 complaints. It handles the organization of all your home screens based on what you use the most, apps are alphabetical with a really nice translucent background in the drawer, I've been using it for 3 months now and haven't considered switching.

>Lack of Icon Pack support. This is a must because my OEM changes the icons of stock apps and I want the stock icons.
>I can't hide apps (ones the can't be disabled or ones not needing an icon).
>Can't change the size of the grid or the icons themselves.

The only good thing about it is Google Now, but the rest of the things mentioned above are a deal breaker for me.

as far as third party launchers go, do any of them significantly differentiate themselves from each other?

All I want is trebuchet but with the added ability to hide/edit apps in the drawer. Using nova free but it doesn't let you hide apps.

I think holo allows you to but it doesn't close the drawer on app start so when you leave the app you get this awkward animation of the drawer quickly closing.

What I might start doing is using T9 app dialer in place of the drawer but the free version has an ad to buy the full version when you're searching.

no doubt the smart launcher 3, its a minimal launcher with ok customization ability but the best app drawer!
>>
>>55598380
Pull requests scare me.
My changes are up and I linked them. They can easily just copy paste themselves.

Smart launcher 3 works great on my old moto.
