Launcher3

Launcher3 is an Android home launcher and application drawer replacement that does not require root access. It functions as a custom interface for the Android home screen, featuring a visual recreation of the Pixel user interface, including a rootless Google Feed and smart widgets.

The project includes a dedicated icon pack manager and theme synchronizer. These systems allow for the application of third-party icon sets and the automatic toggling of light and dark visual themes based on the brightness of the active wallpaper. It also features an app prediction engine that suggests software based on click frequency and time-based decay.

The launcher covers additional capabilities such as accent-insensitive application search, dynamic grid scaling for different device densities, and notification dot indicators. It also supports long-press shortcut execution and the configuration of static and dynamic action menus.
