Rootless Pixel Launcher vs TinyBit Launcher

Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives

Rootless Pixel Launcher

Pixel Launcher is a close to AOSP launcher that only changes the necessary code to allow for small extensions and backporting to older Android versions. If you want a more feature packed launcher use Nova, Action or Lawnchair. Pixel Launcher is focused on simplicity and rock solid stability. Features include: * Search bar at the bottom * Wallpaper based theme selection * Regular Icon Packs * Adaptive Icon Packs, such as my Google Icons * Icon Shape selection on Android 8.0 For Pixel users, there's also a Magisk version.
