Got a Pixel 8a last week and installed #GrapheneOS with Google Play services (sandboxed). I'm delighted! This is exactly how I've always wanted Android to be. Apart from the Deutsche Welle app, everything I need works well. You have to install the eBay app from the Aurora store because it's not offered in the Playstore for some inexplicable reason. Now I can't decide which launcher I want to use. I've used Nova for years, but the Smart Launcher looks interesting too. Any other suggestions?

Any other suggestions?


Lawnchair is pretty nice if you want a traditional launcher with lots of features and customization options. Niagara Launcher follows a very different concept, and is very minimalistic, focusing on reducing distractions.

There are also some FOSS alternatives to Niagara listed in this thread on the GrapheneOS forum: discuss.grapheneos.org/d/3780-โ€ฆ
