Just got a new work phone: Galaxy S22. Wanted a pixel but it was out of stock in our internal allocation. Already tired of samsung’s UI and interested in something new.

So what do you like? Bonus points if it works with android enterprise’s profile mode dual app drawers.

Neo launcher for me. it’s on fdroid.

it’s not perfect and can get buggy, but once you set it up, and don’t mess with the settings too much. it’s acceptable replacement for Nova launcher.

Had nova prime, but switched after the buyout

Yeah… What buyout? I have it in Graphene, with no permissions granted and only as a secondary launcher while i was considering my options, since Neo sometimes doesn’t update new installed apps for a while…

It was bought by a data analytics company last summer, unfortunately.

I like the look of Neo but it seems to crash once or twice a month for me, and resets my home home screen layout every time.
