1.1.1
1.1.2 was published to hot fix an issue where certain apps were not applying custom icons. This release is going to stay here for historical reasons, but please use 1.1.2 instead of this one.
LeanLauncher-1.1.1-16-play-optimized.apk: debug version, with working Google Now feed
LeanLauncher-1.1.1-16-play-release.apk: release version, same as on Google Play Store, Google Now feed does not yet work
Changelog:
- Probably the most requested feature is now a thing, initial support for individual app icon changing is added. There is an issue with certain apps not applying icons, it is going to get fixed. Long press an app, tap on the "Preferences" shortcut, tap on "Override app icon", and do your thing.
- Minor revamp of Settings categories, add summaries for clarity
- Fix tapping app search bar, once again starts app search instead of Google search
About the future, Android P, updates, etc:
Most of you have noticed that the launcher is updated less and less. Some of you even started to say that the launcher is dead and I should f*** myself, that is not nice. I can assure you, the launcher is not dead. I have less free time that I can spend on the launcher, so expect less updates.
About Android P: No, I will not yet implement P designs. No, I will not give the P preview styles to the search bars. No, I cannot implement recent apps on devices prior to P. No, there is no Pixel 3 yet (at least not publicly available). First, Google will have to push the AOSP Launcher3 sources, and that is not going to happen until P stable is publicly released. You can check yourself when they push the sources on this link.
Also, this is very far in the future, but the idea of P and its gesture based navigation is so different than the standards set for the last 10 or so years, that I am toying with the idea of creating an alternative configuration of the launcher. So, something like this:
- Lean Launcher: continues to have the Pixel 2 launcher design, based on Oreo 8.1 sources, nothing major changes, will NOT support gesture based navigation and recent apps inside launcher.
- LeanPie Launcher: will probably have the Pixel 3 style, based on P sources, will support gesture based navigation, will support recent apps inside launcher, based on the sources, there is a chance that it will either support or not support devices prior P. This is a guess, but I think it may have support for older versions, with limited functionality.
