Lawnchair News

As you asked for us to release more updates, here you go, Lawnchair 14 beta 2!
Jokes asides, we are fixing some of the issues with our first Lawnchair 14 beta release:

* Fix Lawnchair crashing on Android 9 and some Lenovo devices on Android 10
* Fix spacing issue within the announcement settings
* Fix "Apps and Shortcuts" being tied to "Files" suggestion in Drawer Search settings
* Add support for force resizing widgets/unlimited resizing options (thanks to @SolidTux for their PR!)

Alongside that, after discussion with the team, we have changed the package name back to app.lawnchair because of the Play Store update conflicts. This means that Beta 1 and Beta 2 are different apps. You may need to delete an older version of Lawnchair to install Beta 2 (make sure to backup first!).

Note: you will have to uninstall Lawnchair 12.1 to install this update, be sure to backup

After about 2 long years, we're delighted to announce that Lawnchair 14 has finally arrived!

Based on Launcher3 from Android 14, this release works with QuickSwitch from Android 10 to Android 14! You won't need to use an older version to integrate with the system.

Some major highlights:
• Search your phone, the web, and more with our new Global Search — no root needed!¹
• View flight info, see surrounding traffic, and keep an eye on your data usage with Smartspacer — all integrated within Lawnchair.²
• Want to further control your icons? Fret not, We now support custom icon packs for themed icons, alongside some new icon options.³
• Themers rejoice — you can now hide the Dock for a cleaner home screen. You can also change even more colors, fonts, and padding.
• Are you tired of Lawnchair crashing because of widgets? We've fixed that issue; you won’t need to do some hacky workaround to add them.⁴

Alongside that, we have a new partnership with Startpage — searching with Startpage (via the dock search bar or App Drawer search) helps support Lawnchair’s development.

We still have more things to share! See the announcement on our website for more information.

¹ Experimental feature, requires opt in Lawnchair Settings.
² Requires Smartspacer and respective plugins.
³ Requires a supported icon pack.
⁴ May still persist depending on the device.

Happy new year everyone!

We will be back

Hey guys! You all are probably already aware of the Reddit API controversy.

But ICYMI: https://www.theverge.com/2023/6/5/23749188/reddit-subreddit-private-protest-api-changes-apollo-charges

In support of the ongoing protest, r/LawnchairLauncher has gone private indefinitely.

To all the Redditors seeking support, feel free to join our @LCCommunity on Telegram.

The long awaited release is finally out! With Lawnicons 2.0.0, we're happy to say that Lawnicons will now be available to use with other launchers! Alongside that we bring even more icons.

Lawnicons 2.0.0 includes an additional 564 icon files from the 677 icon files we had available, bringing the total to 1241 icons. If we include the linked icons, this brings the total to a whopping 4503 icons!
What's new?

Lawnicons is now an icon pack! This means it can be used with other launchers outside Lawnchair! Lawnicons will have a dark or white background depending on the system theme. Thanks to @naveenccmsd
Clicking on an icon inside the Lawnicons app will now display the icon in a larger size, the drawable name and the package which it is linked to.

Lawnicons 1.2.0 is now available! This release includes an additional 270 icon files from the 431 icon files we had available, bringing the total to 713 icons. If we include the linked icons, this brings the total to *1003 icons*! (Further information on how the above was calculated can be found on GitHub)

Alongside that, we'll now try to release a new version of Lawnicons every 30 days, so expect that the next update will be available in the next month. (*we don't guarantee anything though*)

A few minor technical changes:
* In pre-Android 12 devices, we have changed the default theme to be in a green hue.
* The top app bar has been changed to be an expanding top app bar, to ease usability.
