Can anyone recommend a free, preferably open-source, stock-looking launcher for Android that has usable pages on *both* sides of the main page? Like it used to be before Google Now was introduced (which was wonderful until someone totally ruined it with news to get promoted).

@grishka can you please explain what do you mean by "pages"?

Like, don't most launchers allow you to have any pages you want, with any widgets you want? Or are "pages"

@iliazeus I mean the ones you swipe sideways. The way it currently works in most stock launchers is that you have the "home" page as the leftmost one, unlimited number of additional ones to the right of it, and some sort of stupid feed to the left (or nothing if you turned it off). It used to be such that you had usable pages on both sides of the home/default one. I want a modern launcher that does that.

@grishka oh, I get it now, thanks!

I use Nova Launcher (mostly out of habit, though it's a decent one). There, you can set any page as your "home" page, and then you can return to it if you press "Home" on any other page.

Nova is not open-source, though. But I don't know any others well enough to recommend any :)

@grishka Samsung launcher has an ability to make ANY launcher screen “home” one (the small house icon on top). At least on One UI 6 and 6.1.

@aim1159 is it possible to install it on a non-Samsung phone?
