@shubby Hi, I get a weird "bouncing" effect on Android 11 due to the way recents work in it (in A11 recents are shipped with launcher instead of system UI). Is it possible to directly replace pixel launcher and keep the recents? If I remove the stock pixel launcher, I get no recents and no gestures! :(
Is there a solution..?

Hey there, I stopped updating this version of the ruthless launcher, there is another thread for the app which is 2020 version of ruthless launcher.

Also newer version is on play store if you use Google services or you can get it from aurora store.

Also the recent screen if part of the system launcher itself so if you remove it, you will remove the gesture system as well.
The bouncing effect is something which users system permission so without quick swtich support it might not be possible.

It is possible in the next update to make these 3 additions:
1) To be able to edit / delete app categories.
2) On the At Glance Widget, in addition to the date, you can also view the time and maybe even the next alarm.
3) To be able to set the app drawer horizontally to be able to move in the app pages from left to right and vice versa as well as from top to bottom.

To me it is not possible to modify / add / delete the app categories as written in point 1.
I am also not aware that on the At Glance Widget you can also view the time and the next alarm as written in point 2 over the date.
I hope these additions will be made soon in the next update.

    Hello there!
    I started a project based on @azaidi's Rootless Pixel Launcher. I have cherry picked some features from various developers and added few of mine to create a fully working and customisable launcher. This launcher also includes the new P style dock by Google (as seen in the Android P DP1 Launcher).
