Nach langen Monaten der Betaphase ist der Lawnchair Launcher in Version 2.0 erschienen. Ein Launcher für euer Android-Smartphone, den wir schon ein paar mal in Beiträgen begleitet haben. Schnell, flexibel und hoch anpassbar. Der Lawnchair Launcher ist Open Source und findet sich nicht nur im Google Play Store, sondern beispielsweise auch bei F-Droid.
Interessant: Obwohl die Version 2.0 jetzt verteilt wird, teilen die Entwickler mit, dass Android 10 derzeit nicht unterstützt wird. Das wirkt natürlich kurios, kann aber auch Googles Gesten-Dilemma geschuldet sein. Ich habe das Ganze gerade eben unter Android 10 getestet, der Launcher lief aber. Ist vielleicht auch abhängig vom Gerät. Müsst ihr bei Interesse vielleicht einmal selber schauen, ob das etwas für euch ist.
