Rootless Pixel Launcher vs Wall You
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.
Wall You
Wall You is a Wallpaper App built with Material Design 3 (You). For that matter, the app supports a wide range of wallpaper sources. Most of them are unfortunately nonfree however, thus the anti-feature. Features: * Wallpaper Browsing and Downloading * Automatic Wallpaper Changer * Favorites List * Wallpaper History * Image Filter Effects
