launchers for android?

Na, until IOS, idk, 16? 17? You couldn't freely place apps anywhere. They'd always slide back next to the last uppest app. For instance if I place an app at the top left I couldn't place one at the bottom right, it would always go back next to the one on the upper left.

Erm? That was possible on iPhone since years and years, not sure what do you mean? Unless you mean on android.
-- (Jonathan):
Still better than beeing forzed to use exactly one layout and having no launcher. I mean bro until 1 or 2 years ago you couldn't even freely place the apps where you wanted. Besides noone asked you.
-- (alchappers):
And this mess is another reason why I don't wanna use Android as a primary. Default launchers are crappy, third party ones have issues, Nova was good but yeah its been aquired so... God damnit, if only Google didn't kill off their Now Launcher then we'd be alright.

Yes my english is shit in that post but you get it.

No one asked me, but I have a right to post my thought, thank you, so shut up if you don't have anything nice to say apart from no one asked you, bla bla bla.

OK back to the topic at hand, I do like how IOS lets you freely place apps now, but back to Android launchers, on my Motorola that I use for testing things here and there, it says moved to row 1 column 1 for instance, which is cool I guess.

O so then it was something visual only. Especially on here I can freely say I don't care. For voiceover it did change and that is what I cared for.

Eh, no, it's not just visual, unless you never use explore by touch but well.

I use it quite some times. So what? It's fine to not see empty spaces and just hear the beep.
Regardless, it's there now, so you can be happy if you wanted it. You don't use that as primary anyway. And it wasn't a topic about iOS flaws opinions anyway.

ok stop it it's about launcher not for crappleOS users to argue

Bro Samsung is so busted now. The App switcher is broken with Talkback, but One UI is fine in general, though when I was on Android I used Microsoft launcher

interesting, i changed the app switcher with samsung's goodlock app, yes you can do it, it's in the home up plugin in goodlock, you can download goodlock from the galaxy store and then download homeup that is in goodlock then turn it on, find task changer and in there you will have a few different opptions, i have it set to list and it scroles through just fine with talkback

tbh Goodlock seems to be the only interesting thing left on Samsung devices these days. But yeah meh, since they locked the bootloader I'm no longer interested in buying a device from them ngl.
But anyway...

there's 0 devices with unlockable bootloaders that are modern so

bork

lmao bro, Google Pixel, to name one of them...

the latest one doesn't

I think.

I think you can also edit posts instead of making several with only 2 words in it. And I also think it very much does, otherwise things like GOS would be quite bork, as you like to say.

Right. Lol.
Though that's nothing against Samsung, if only the beloved pixel still has this, whatever it's nesesary for. There are a looooot of other Android phones on the market ya know. I'd prefer Samsung over those, at least. Pixel, well. Not a google fanboy to be honest. Also this might be a really pointless issue for some, but for me I just think those phones look ughly. It might be better in the case, but something about them doesn't apeal to me. Even the imigration from iPhone to a Samsung is much cleaner and functional by all means. Anyways.

yeah, that and the extra volume up + power accessibility shortcut, that's another nice thing that i like about them, i'm also just used to Samsung

many of those android phones on the market, though not all of them, are just typical stock android with unlabled buttons, and stuff
