F-Droid has the Rootless Pixel Launcher available for installation, but this version has the “Google Search Bar” appearing and no option to remove it. However, there was a user on Github who created a version without such thing, and I thought maybe F-Droid could include it? I for example wanted to remove the search bar, and had to go looking for it. Here is the link.
Hum… not sure what you mean, I suppose each app has a unique ID and those forks didn’t create a new one? So F-Droid can’t have two apps with the same ID? I am not sure if that’s what you mean, I am not used to Android development and so on.
I was just now trying to find a way to contact the developer and couldn’t find any email. Given that I don’t currently have access to a Github account that would be the only way to contact the developer. I am forced to give this up. Anyway, how much update could a launcher need?
