### Project discontinued
The OpenLauncher project is discontinued. The original project author has left the project many years ago and didn't come back. Also the project has not seen active development for years, or at least no considerable interest by the community to contribute. Technology doesn't stop in time and the Android platforms regulary gets new things that are expected by launchers. As well active development is require to support newer Android versions. I ([@gsantner](https://github.com/gsantner)) have been taking the time to keeping the project alive for many years, from now on I stop doing that. Move on and don't consider this codebase as it's dated. You likely are better off starting something fresh or fork a other more recent launcher project.

The suggestion is to use a different, active maintained launcher. If you are happy still with OpenLauncher as it is, feel free to keep using it as long you like to. If the latest release does not work, feel free to try a older version. BUT don't expect any future project changes. The last release can be downloaded from [F-Droid](https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdid=com.benny.openlauncher).

### Description

This is an open source launcher project for Android devices that has been built completely from scratch. The main goal of this launcher is to find a healthy medium between customization and simplicity. At this point in time it implements most features required in a typical launcher but could benefit greatly from some general polish. If you would like to help out feel free to submit issues or ask about submitting a pull request with a feature you want to see in the launcher.
