Rootless Pixel Launcher vs Taskbar
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.
Taskbar
Puts a start menu and recent apps tray on top of your screen accessible at any time, increasing your productivity and turning your Android tablet or phone into a real multitasking machine. Features: * Start menu - shows you all applications installed on the device, configurable as a list or as a grid * Recent apps tray - shows your most recently used apps and lets you easily switch between them * Collapsible and hideable - show it when you need it, hide it when you don't * Many different configuration options - customize Taskbar however you want * Pin favorite apps or block the ones you don't want to see * Designed with keyboard and mouse in mind
