Now that the Google search bar on the homescreen has become uttery useless there is no real reason to have it anymore and it is annoying anyways, so I am in search for a launcher that resembles the stock Pixel launcher.
Especially the “combo widget” that shows the time, the date, position-weather, tasks, warnings, timers, etc. all in one place.
Launchers I tried so war that don’t seem to have such a widget and seem not to be able to use that widget:
- Nova
- Lawnchair
- Niagara
- Hyperion
Those are all great launchers, but this specific functionality (basically the only feature I use on my homescreen besides one single icon for one app) seems to be missing in all of them.
So my question is: does someone know a launcher that comes with an unobstrusive “combo widget” like the stock widget as described, that also allows me to remove the now useless search bar from the home screen?
Smart Launcher looks great. It has a combo widget with actually working location-aware weather that can also show upcoming alarms and calendar entries. I think instead of Lawnchair with Smartspacer I keep this launcher.
I’m happy with smart launcher. It’s got some quirks but it’s fully replaced Nova and that’s mostly what I wanted.
