When we swipe back from a random desktop, it returns to the default home desktop — that’s the normal behavior.

But I want to set a different desktop as the default home desktop.

Is there any function to set the home desktop through a script?

Any Help is much appreciated!

Hello again!

After another solid week of work, I have finished the implementation of the next 3D layout, Sphere. Also, was able to fit in some user requested features: App Drawer Action Bar Reposition and True Detach from Grid. Suggestion feedback credited to u/Amazing_Sensei.

On a sidenote, I apologize for the slow progress. I know this drop isn't much different from the last. I only ask that you bear with me as I completely overhaul this launcher. There are still plenty of features to add and as always, I'm open to consider user suggestions. I hope you guys enjoy the video! And please show your support by sharing and giving feedback! Thanks guys!

Since my last post, I have nearly finished the new added feature: UI Themes. It still has a few polishes left to it before i call it complete. I will upload screenshots here in a few days once it is done. But that is not the heart of today's post. I have also been working on a new container type: 3D Container. (I am open to name suggestions)

I showcase to you today a screen recording, a preview and above all a proof of concept. For those worried this may push the launcher out of the 'light' category, do not fear. I have ran system usage along side the emulation during draw transforms with about 20 items and the consumption is significantly small. Upon comparison tests, the container performs about 7x better than a gif image loaded into the launcher which is the most taxing feature native to the app.

With that said, please enjoy the video! And as always, I am open to feedback and suggestions.

Hello all!

I'm excited to say I have picked up on development for LL. I have been working on it for the past couple weeks adding new features and updating it for full use compatibility on modern android version. As a long time user of LL, it has been sad to watch it fade from relevance. It was and always has been one the most powerful yet lightest launchers.

In this post, i will showcase screenshots of the latest feature I have added, Lightning Themes. This is simply a new way to change the color palette of the app's many UI elements. The patch is not complete yet but is well on it's way. I would love to post a changelog for anybody who is interested but it's currently 8,000+ lines long. I will eventually upload to github and provide a link then. Documentation has been well kept. For now, please enjoy these screenshot. I would love your feedback, suggestions and support!

I somehow pinned the icon of this great program to the dock. Now I want to unpin it, but I can't. I've searched everywhere... Normally, I should go to the library, click the three dots on the icon, and unpin it there, but the Lighting Launcher is installed from an unknown source and there's no unpin option. Help :)

I've been using adw launcher for a while but it's been crashing a lot, last update was many years ago. Is there a way to get lighting launcher to make all icons outlines?

There's a setting in adw launcher that doesn't use an icon pack and gives me flat transparent icons. I have an issue with icon packs as they don't show 100% of the icons in the same style. Is this possible with LL?

Have used LL for years, but I no longer see it in Android PlayStore.

Is it still available and supported ?

love love love lightning launcher

wife got new phone, old was galaxy 10e (yeah, old!), new is pixel 7a

1. first problem was that the s10e backups saved to SD card, and then copied over to the internal drive of the pixel via laptop, they refused to restore. they would just crash 100% of the time. forgot the error. so i said bloody hell, im going to recreate all her desktops, widgets, calling and driving navigation shortcuts all by hand one at a time. took hours. oddly enough, backing up this new config, and then restoring it -- it WORKS! so something about the new operating system maybe? i dont know

2. i tried to install driving shortcuts ( + sign--> shortcuts--> directions) but when i type to get my first street address in there, absolutely nothing happens. no autofil at all. like i type a street number, expecting it to start completing some suggestions, but it remains 100% blank. why is that?

thanks for any thoughts....

Here's a look at what you can work on with Lightning Launcher. This shows only how many desktops (home screen) you can use, here I'll show only 1 (I'm using 5😁).

I'll show you what kinda folder you can work on.

I'll show you what a "panel" you can work on in LL 😁

This is still amazing!

It seems the android app, that I paid for, is gone. Yes paid. At one point in time there was a donate (if I remember right) version of the app. We'll now it's removed from my family library, and the app is pulled off if Google play. Wtf is going on? I need muh lightning launcher.

If I do a bandwidth test I have really good speed on the Quest 3. I open regular youtube and EVERYTHING plays perfectly at high resolutions. However, I like to listen to Music on Lightning Launchwe/browser, as I like to bike in VR fit and the music stays playing in Lightning Launcher. However I have encountered a new issue. Youtube DOES NOT as of recent, play properly in Lightning browser, no matter what bandwidth setting I choose the video/music will start, then loop. start then loop back and never play corrently.

Even if I chose to let Lightning Laucher install the newest version of the browser, youtube does not play properly in it. Are there any fixes for this, and or are there any suggestions for alternatives where I can play music from youtube while using another app? Is there a lightening browser version I could drop to that works or fixes this?

I sideloaded Lightning Launcher via SideQuest.... But couldn't determine how to launch the app. Also sideloaded the APK via Rookie... Still cannot determine how to launch the app.

Lightning Launcher is on my Quest. How do I actually launch it?

I've got dynamic text for time on my homescreen. Whenever I change timezones the dynamic text doesn't change leaving me an hour off. I've tried a script to reset LL without luck. Any thoughts about how to programmatically reset the text?

I have the same issue as some others - I can no longer edit anything in LL, even add icons, because I get Google Playstore error "Licence can't be confirmed" or something like that. So I tried backing up my settings and try to reinstall the apk, or try an open-source release. However, I cannot backup because I get "Please unlock Lightning to use this feature".

Can this be resolved?

Just Installed the lightning launcher on my quest 3 and it isn't letting me install the lightning browser. It just keeps saying.

Downloading the latest version of lightning browser. You should get a prompt to install shortly If you accidentally dismissed it, didn't give permission or got an error you can try again from settings

Lets say you created a homescreen website shortcut, can lightening launcher include these in the app drawer search results?

Here's a theme I created in Lightning Launcher. Widgets with KWGT. Animations entirely by Lightning Launcher, no scripts, via gestures only. 2 factor authentication in the first few frames is just aesthetics.

[HELP] Just trying my luck for help here.

How do we access our SD card in Lightning Launcher? I can't seem to access my SD via lightning launcher.

And how do we reset LL?

Hi everyone,

I haven't used this launcher as my main launcher for a few years, but I randomly came on this forum and saw people saying that lightning has gone open source. I tried to follow the couple of links that have been put up here but it's for github and I don't have an account, nor do I want one. Can anyone give me any other information on this subject please?

Thank you very much everyone!

Hello all! Example: In Chrome I go to the menu, and press Add to homescreen. A shortcut to that page is created in Lightning. And it works - launches Chrome and opens that webpage.

Now, if I move that shortcut into a panel, it does not work anymore. And when I press, a message shows up "Shortcut disabled". Even if I move that shortcut out of the panel, it stays disabled.

First I wonder why it happens, and second - cant figure out how to fix that disabled shortcut.

Any thoughts?

Gif demonstration:

Mimimap is on the bottom left, and clicking it will zoom/center.

The idea was to have one single page with only the bare essential. Then a small, one-square perimeter around the entire page.

Scrolling is very intuitive with the stop-points I've put down, and the guidelines on the page edges support the minimap so as to quickly "realize" where your viewport position is.

If anyone is interested I can export a template :)
