  • I know it and I tested it but there are some problems:

    • It’s not as smooth as Pixel launcher. In fact, no other launcher is. AFAIK at least a part of that smoothness (particularly switching to multitasking view) is impossible to achieve for non-system apps. I’m very happy using Niagara right now but if not for this search situation I would consider switching to Pixel launcher just for this smoothness. Niagara is amazing but I miss normal widgets.

    • DDG doesn’t work correctly in Lawnchair either. It opens up the DDG webpage when you tap the search bar. What I want is to let me enter the phrase in the bar and only after I submit open the webpage with search results.

    • Pixel Search looks like a very cool app which would be even better search provider in Lawnchair, but currently it’s not really working as well. Instead of opening the Pixel Search app, it opens the app page in the Play Store, even though I have it installed.

    If you don’t care about the smoothness, Lawnchair is probably the best option though. The two issues I mentioned probably will be fixed eventually, I’m even considering trying to fix that myself.
