Apologies if this has already been addressed. The Search thing that appears when I use the search pill from the dock is grey text on white.

Makes it hard to see what I am typing.

I am on Android 10 on a Moto One Action in dark mode.
[Android Apps and Games] Saswata Chakraborty:
Realme X running on Android 10 based Realme UI. Using fullscreen gestures. When swiping up from the bottom to go home, it takes a few seconds for the home screen icons and widgets to load. This doesn't happen when using navbars. I faced this issue on all the custom launchers be it Nova, Lawnchair, AIO, Niagara etc. Does anyone know what is the issue?
[Android Apps and Games] vjeta:
The issue is google's bad implementation. NO solution after 1 year. Don't expect it. Use xda navigation gestures, fluid navigation gestures, one hand opertion...
[Android Apps and Games] bubba1601:
No android 10 device will fully work with android 10 gestures using a non default launcher unless that device has the Google android 10/third party launcher gesture support patch.

Currently only Pixels, one plus, any Samsung on one ui 2.5 and Xiaomi android one devices have it.

Your own device and all the others that don't have have that patch with never fully work until Google changes it, or Try quickswitch with a Q pre alpha version of lawnchair.

Is this project alive?

Not updated in a long time and Gitlab seems abandoned?

My librechair crashes when I try to backup settings on LineagOS 17.1 .. :S
[Android Apps and Games] Jaggerjacquez:
Seems ded to me
[Android Apps and Games] cHECKjAM:
Ohh I see the librechair gitlab actually pointed to this, lawnchair thread.. but maybe it is the same? COnfusing..

So what are the alternatives that is similair.. ?
[Android Apps and Games] --anx--:
I believe it's dead: on Android 11 keeps crashing, lacks of updates...even the release channel on telegram don't report the latest version.

But to be honest the situation with the third party launcher has gone down, because of the gesture implementation by Google since android 10: EVERY launcher on play store have full compatibility with these official gestures, and the animations are buggy too...
[Android Apps and Games] Emu:
I'm on Android 11. Turns out uninstalling and reinstalling Lawnchair did fix a lot of things. Gesture implementation is something Google has to meet them halfway. I have used Hyperion, Nova, Posidon... They are all having the same gesture issues if not worse. This is still the best launcher and I hope development will pick up
[Android Apps and Games] AxiK.:
R.I.P., already moved on NewsFeed launcher
[Android Apps and Games] ajsat3801:
Someone pls explain. What exactly is not working on android 11? I'm contemplating installing android 11 on my phone..

Is it lawnchair which doesn't work? Or is it Quickswitch?or is it a combination of the 2?
[Android Apps and Games] ajsat3801:
According to the telegram channel and Twitter, the project IS alive and the Devs are taking a break.

But yeah it's been a long time now
[Android Apps and Games] hassan_1000:
Is there any way to reduce the folders icon size?
[Android Apps and Games] chooks06:
Maybe not much of help since I don't use the dock.

If the folder was in the desktop, the size will follow what is set for the icons.

Have you tried pulling the icon out from dock to home screen to see if the size is the same? If it does, reduce the size then drop it back in the dock..

Just a wild beer guess.

I attach 3 screenshots. The one with 2 icons is in the dock. You can see it being "squared" at the sides. The one with 3 icons is with dock hidden.
[Android Apps and Games] Jaggerjacquez:
Maybe, u can also use any other launchers from play store, like Nova etc.
[Android Apps and Games] V4lve:
Ruthless. Bit less functional but under active dev and seems quicker to me. And it's 'at a glance' works.
[Android Apps and Games] sbs8331:
Shade also works, but Ruthless has a bit more functionality. Hyperion has even more features, and its "At a Glance" widget works pretty well, but its weather conditions icons don't adjust for night, e.g. shows full sun (vs. moon) on a clear night.
[Android Apps and Games] AtoZ0to9:
Feel like Hyperion's weather isn't consistently accurate either. Specifically the weather integration on the homescreen.
[Android Apps and Games] sbs8331:
Good to know. I hadn't used it that extensively. Google's is good in that it seems to adjust the widget temp as needed when it changes. I also like Chronus' Pixel widget. I use Accuweather on it, and the temperature hotspot can be set to either bring up the forecast or, as I do, refresh the weather. It also has nice options to adjust font sizes, etc., and to determine when to show event notifications.
[Android Apps and Games] Cappucinto:
Any plans for an update?
[Android Apps and Games] dmenezes:
An update for what? :)

Seriously, it's working like a charm here. No need to fix what isn't broken... ;-)
[Android Apps and Games] daekdroom:
This project is suspended for the time being.
[Android Apps and Games] black96ss:
I really hope development continues with this launcher. It's always been very quality and my go to for years.
[Android Apps and Games] sbs8331:
I wouldn't hold my breath.
[Android Apps and Games] B2Pi:
Rumors (on the lawnchair subreddit) are that lawnchair development is restarting, deletescape having handed it off...
[Android Apps and Games] skiely666:
Here you go..
[Android Apps and Games] WarningHPB:
I wonder if the new Devs are trust worthy, I'm just paranoid with all the apps/extensions changing hands and doing sketchy and questionable things like malware and tracking users
[Android Apps and Games] osm0sis:
If deletescape and the team picked them, I'm sure they're good.
[Android Apps and Games] Pandemic:
1 question to you bro, why the magisk module busybox by you keep the same number after each update ? It still keep 1.31.1. Just curious ;)
[Android Apps and Games] osm0sis:
Very off topic here, but it's because I'm improving the installer zip or the applets included, but busybox itself is still the same version number. You can check the commits on GitHub to see that next time you're wondering.

Going to start the bring-up for 1.32.1 which came out last month hopefully soon. 🤞
[Android Apps and Games] manpildo:
An alarming post appeared on Lawnchair's releases Telegram channel. See picture below.

I looked it up and it turns out the founder of Lawnchair, Tillie Kottmann, is a criminal hacker.

Hackers Breach Thousands of Security Cameras, Exposing Tesla, Jails, Hospitals

A hacker who exposed Verkada’s surveillance camera snafu has been raided

As I understand, the new developers of Lawnchair were handpicked by Tillie himself, so how can we be sure that they are not part of his hacker group? How can we be sure that they one day don't decide to expose to the world how easy it is to gain access to regular users' phones and cameras?

Has anyone actually reviewed/audited their source code?
[Android Apps and Games] osm0sis:
Don't spread FUD. Tillie has always been an anti-capitalist hacker, and their intentions have always been about freedom of information; they have always disclosed their hacks publicly on Twitter, so none of this is news.

The hacks have pretty much all been due to bad systems admin practices (default passwords, etc). Lawnchair has nothing to do with any of that.
[Android Apps and Games] lilbrat:
Actually, there are a few that might disagree as not everyone has Twitter or follows what's on it, so when someone see something like this info ie. on Telegram for the first time as in my case, I do find it a bit of a concern.. so saying someone is spreading "FUD" when the info is there and the link to read about then yes it could make one wonder..
[Android Apps and Games] manpildo:
Well, I didn't know any of that, first time I even heard the name Tillie Kottmann, hence why I asked all those questions. Also to see what other users who were unaware of this think. Hardly spreading "fud" when I'm only trying to get people's thoughts, perhaps from some who are more in-the-know like you. Also criminal activity is criminal activity, his intentions may be good (for now), but no predicting what he might do in the future... Hence why I'm sceptical of Lawnchair and the new developers at the moment, until more info comes out.
[Android Apps and Games] osm0sis:
Whether you were aware of Tillie or not is here nor there. You questioning the efforts/intentions of the current developers, who have already released statements distancing themselves from Tillie and tried to allay any privacy concerns, is spreading FUD.
[Android Apps and Games] uhero2:
Hello, I have just installed Lawnchair for the first time on my device with Android 11, I installed the alpha build I downloaded from their telegram channel and set it as recent provider with Quickswitch. It is working well, except for small bugs. I notice that is not possible, for the time being, to customize the icons of the folders, which is quite important for me. Is this feature missing because it's an alpha build? It will be added in the future?
[Android Apps and Games] In_Flames_81:
I have Lawnchair 2 10.0 Alpha 8 installed and I can't get the notification counter to work, only dots...

Surely it's a bug because the version that is downloaded from the playstore works well but does not support the gestures of Android 10...

Can anyone see the notification counter in this release (10.0 Alpha 8)?
[Android Apps and Games] HannibalLecter:
is it so difficult to understand that obviously in the ALPHA notification number has NOT been implemented YET.

it is ALPHA. the playstore version is 2 years old abandoned software.
[Android Apps and Games] In_Flames_81:
Sure I understand, but the option to show the counter is there and if it doesn't work you don't know if it's due to a launcher bug or something else...
[Android Apps and Games] Hyflex:
1.

If I click on the search bar (bubble?) it pulls up a search screen... how do I make the background dark and the text light on this screen? Or vice versa? Currently it's light background with grey text which is kinda hard to read..

2.

How do I make it so the search finds apps on my device? Back on Stock with the real pixel launcher i could start typing "Pay" for example and it would find the PayPal app
[Android Apps and Games] Robbo.5000:
Does the QuickSwitch Magisk module still need to be installed with the latest Lawnchair 11?
[Android Apps and Games] Pandemic:
Yes
[Android Apps and Games] Robbo.5000:
So just tried v11 and it's still a bit too barebones for me. Though looking in the git repository it looks like a lot of the features I like will be in the next build.

Until then can I use v9 with android 11 ROMs? This is where I find it's getting a bit confusing. Are the new version numbers indicating the minimum android version or exact android version, i.e. is v9 to be used with at least android 9 or only android 9?
[Android Apps and Games] zagzag99:
So far last beta is workable for me.

Only feature missing is the ability to lock the desktop from changes..

Hope it can be added and released soon.
[Android Apps and Games] saiz0313:
Lawnchair 11,when can resize widget or backup-restore settings?

Backup-Restore function is very important.

Hope it's coming soon!

Btw.,Lawnchar v1 and v2 are perfect launcher,Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] aditya_77:
The pixel bridge fix for Google app stopped working. Anyone fix available now?
[Android Apps and Games] gaindelioide:
For the Lawnchair 11, there is the lawnfeed3 available in a git repository.
[Android Apps and Games] daemonspudguy:
Just so you are aware, Tillie uses she/her pronouns.
[Android Apps and Games] Cilenco:
@Pandemic Thanks for the clarification on that. Will this also be the case for the upcoming v12 version?
[Android Apps and Games] A.Priori:
Is anyone using this with the pixel 6 pro?
[Android Apps and Games] js-xda:
Excuses in advance in case I am asking something really stupid of missed an obvious reference earlier in this thread: Where can I find APKs of the new Lawnchair 11/12 development? Or has everyone mentioning experience built them from the available sources?

Get the telegram app. The reason the builds are posted so frequently is because they get automatically pushed and conpiled when new commits are added on the github repo.
[Android Apps and Games] TokedUp:
U guys like to call ppl names and brag about the new features in the beta but when someone asks a relevant question u get into a hissy fit. Get over yourself. If u brag about new features that some of us can't get then be ready for what comes with it.
[Android Apps and Games] marcdw:
I think it's time to stop that now. If you don't want to use Telegram then so be it. As he said, it's the dev's choice to use Telegram. You wanna complain to him?

All the crying is getting out of hand. You've made your point. No need to repeat. Don't like how things are done? Move on.

This place has turned into one big cluster(you-know-what) full of gimme gimmes, I wants, and oft-repeated requests. Gotten a bit out of hand.

Should do like other threads and temporarily shut it down. Take a breather.

[Android Apps and Games] OnceAMatrixMan:
I am anxious to try this launcher, but getting concerned that all the BS is going to cause the devs to bail.

To The Devs (if they even bother looking in) and Skittles don't let it get you down- common sense is far less common than it used to be. Plus today's society is all about the quick answer, a few seconds of research is obviously too much to ask for now.
[Android Apps and Games] tarunsr2003:
U can just use telegram and u can also use beta

I think you know that devs have freedom of uploading there work anywhere they want

You should know that they are working for free and we are using their build to brag.

Let them choose.

You Using telgram or it's up to you

Respect the devs

No offense pls.
[Android Apps and Games] Skittles9823:
Tbh pretty sure deletescape only checks this thread to update the OP when needed and nothing else so I really doubt the drama impacts him directly. If I said nothing about the betas it would have avoided all this drama but a lot of the people here have actually gotten telegram for the beta so I'm glad I could help them out with the updated version. To all the people I've offended by calling them "dumb" if you actually got offended then that means you are the people I'm talking about. Everyone else here patiently waiting for the stable release hasn't brought it up, just the people who are impatient and don't want to contribute to the project and just get a neat launcher without showing any effort. I understand that it can be annoying having to get a new app just so you can get a beta, but the point of a beta is to opt in, test and report back is it not? So by asking to upload the beta builds separately to here in itself cuts the feedback from the central place to talk about it and requires more effort and time from the dev that could be used to improving the project further.
[Android Apps and Games] lpen2146:
Totally agree with above. If you are not contributing with expertise then at least donate $$ if your situation allows. I love tinkering with new features and changing up look of phone. This is a really good Launcher sort of the evolution of Google now with all latest features and yes some glitches but has a ton of potential. I think if we keep it to identifying bugs/glitches the project can move along. As for Telegram it's not intrusive at all and does what it says, took 30 seconds to set up. If you don't like it can always uninstall after project is done.
[Android Apps and Games] Bewildered Wolf:
[MENTION=7049589]deletescape[/MENTION] Perfect Launcher bro.

Just like to request one feature.

To make the All apps background to pitch black from white.

It will save a decent amount of battery on Amoled.

And it will look good too.
[Android Apps and Games] shubby:
Already implemented , in beta cl builds wait sometimes its will be released
[Android Apps and Games] Bewildered Wolf:

I've used this launcher for some days with Lineage OS, then changed my ROM to Resurrection Remix and now I'm stuck with the pixel icon pack. How can I see the default icons?
[Android Apps and Games] MoistPicklez:
Gorgeous and straight forward launcher, now that the beta supports Icon pack Studio, I've 100% ditched Nova and Action. Thanks [MENTION=7049589]deletescape[/MENTION] my phone feels snappy and looks amazeballs! Win win!
[Android Apps and Games] TokedUp:
All I'm saying is if I see one more person disrespected for asking about the beta I'm gonna post that apk on every file sharing site from here to North Korea. Try me. No one is complaining about Telegram so stfu about it. We know it's the devs right to do what he wants with his work and we all appreciate what they do. Let's be done with this topic please

When setting a new wallpaper the pill widget disappears, restart brings it back from Debug settings.

When Google calendar widget is set with the No Margins option, the on widget buttons for Month scan < > don't work. Using regular Padding the buttons work.
[Android Apps and Games] Skittles9823:
Shh. Dont tell anyone but XDA might get the beta APKs sooner then you think. (Can't confirm though but its being worked on. Just needs the green light from Deletescape)
[Android Apps and Games] AxiK.:
Thanks for the link
[Android Apps and Games] lpen2146:
Noted this too, also i hid the original widget and switched to Chronus and it freezes when weather is tapped( not often), debugging brings it back. When changing wallpapers if done too many times the font color goes from black to white for 50% of apps in app drawer. Other than those 2 minor issues pretty stable for Beta.

what am I doing wrong?

I am able to build, and it install just fine

But my problem is swipe right google now doesn't work

What black magic is required to get swipe right google now to work?

I assume you don't need to install as system app for swipe to work?

thanks!

I'm probably missing something easy but my app drawer shows zero results when I type in the search bar. The three toggles for the app drawer search bar are on. My device is rooted and running A12

[Android Apps and Games] Mazellat:
Lawnchair gives error with Android 12 / Xperia 1 III. I can't use it. I like Lawnchair 2, Lawnchair 12 hasn't icon support. What do you think about this? @deletescape
[Android Apps and Games] TanakaX5:
Anyone have a idea what this is about? As soon as one updates the system intelligence app the search functionality is gone.

@pcriz: thanks for the info
[Android Apps and Games] pcriz:
Np and I should note I'm on the pixel 6 pro as well. If that's any help to folks with visibility on it

I'm running it on the OnePlus 8t with a custom ROM, so it's not device related
[Android Apps and Games] celephrn:
Hey all, I've enabled per app icon customization in the new alpha 5, and I cannot change the icons to one from the new icon pack.

On the other hand, the new icon theme doesn't apply to the icons from the drawer.

Is this normal? Any fix for this issues?
[Android Apps and Games] alkandery75:
Hi,

I'm new user to "Lawnchair", and looking for a way to use "swipe up" and "cover mode" at the same time, so I can top on folder to open 1st App in it, as well as swipe up to open some other App.

Is it possible?
[Android Apps and Games] LionDGem:
Go to Settings > 3-Dot-Menu > Experimental Functions and enable them. Additionally enable Settings > General > Icon Designs.

Edit: Sorry. Did not read through. I think what you describe is normal right now. Still alpha.
[Android Apps and Games] LionDGem:
Lawnchair 2 is dead. As far as I know deletescape has left the project.

For icons:

Go to Settings > 3-Dot-Menu > Experimental Functions and enable them.
[Android Apps and Games] LionDGem:
Same here. They should have closed the old LawnChair 2 issues. It's quite irritating since they do not make sense anymore.
[Android Apps and Games] blksith0:
Why is the Google Play version of the app so out of date (compared to github?)?
[Android Apps and Games] MarkILab:

What I heard is some of the developers left, specially the project leader. It's a new team now.
[Android Apps and Games] Dayuser:
Lawnchair 12.1.0 Alpha 3 is great with Lawnicons 1.0.0

With Android 10 phone i have no problems with this launcher.
[Android Apps and Games] js-xda:
Big thanks first of all to the developers!

I can't find it back but I recall reading the statement to not use Lawnchair 12.1 on any Android version prior to 12.1. I am currently using Lawnchair 12 Alpha 5 on Android 10 without obvious issues. Is there really a strict reasoning to run only the corresponding Lawnchair version matching (by number) the Android version? Missing here some clarity but I see also that development of earlier versions stops once a new one is there.
[Android Apps and Games] tURkOsANsE:
I have installed Release v12.1.0.Alpha.3 on Android 12L by magisk, but the shortcuts don't work when you can on widgets like Clock, App Keep... Any solution?
[Android Apps and Games] WACOMalt:
I'm unable to resize widgets down past their minimums like in most other launchers. Can we get this as a feature? Its the one thing messing up my homescreen right now. Love the launcher otherwise!
[Android Apps and Games] fusk:
Are you sure you're running 12.1 on A10?

Yeah, I think I read something about this, but it's a bit confusing.
[Android Apps and Games] Dayuser:
Yes, still have alpha 3 installed.
[Android Apps and Games] fusk:
Are you using quickswitch 3.3.1?

And how did you get around this issue?
[Android Apps and Games] Dayuser:
My phone is stock.
[Android Apps and Games] fusk:
And that means what exactly? Mine is stock too.
[Android Apps and Games] Dayuser:
Means that it's stock. No root. No magisk.

Launcher works. I don't use gestures. I tried. Everything else works but not recent apps menu.
[Android Apps and Games] fusk:
Ok, i see. That is why it is working for you. You've disabled gestures and is using the old navigation style.
[Android Apps and Games] Dayuser:
Yes.. But gestures works better than other launchers. Nova launcher 7.0 if but gestures on.. They don't do nothing.. Lawnchair atleast swipe up back homescreen and swipe sides works.
[Android Apps and Games] fusk:
For me none of the gestures work, and i don't think it's worth it if you lose gestures. Rather stay on v12.
