We hate warez mate, it's a disrespect towards the work of developers.
Broadcasted from Zeta Reticuli
Maybe instead of trying to cheat the developer, you pay them if you find it's what you want... Cracks and other Warez/pirate activities are forbidden here regardless of what you've heard.
If you don't want to pay, look for alternatives, Google turns up no shortage of options like iLauncher, Blaze, Launcher for 7 & Plus, or how to configure Nova/Action and other mainstream browsers so they don't have an app drawer.
You could pay for it then have two hours to see if you like it and return if you don't. That's probably what I like most about Google Play vs iOS App Store.
EDIT: I would also like to echo what's been said here. Don't do warez, not only is it unfair to devs but it is also potentially dangerous to your device if you download a "cracked" APK that was actually loaded with malware. So even for that reason alone, don't do it.

What bout zenUI? you can use it with/with out app drawer.:victory:
Try ASAP launcher, ap15 launcher and Edge launcher if you wanna reach your apps quickly
I couldn't adjust with the RROreo's default Trebuchet launcher and coming from MIUI, it was hard to settle with any other fancy launchers.
Tried every launchers available in the internet, that was similar to MIUI stock launcher. The MIUI Launcher suggested above is the close one in replicating the stock MIUI. However, I'd strongly advice against it, as it has some serious bugs. It duplicates app icons randomly, and you only uninstall the apps, can't remove the duplicate icons. It gets worse when system apps icons are duplicated.
I'd suggest this.
1. Install Nova and make it the default launcher(free version will do),
2. Create shortcuts of all apps on the home screen,
3. Enable 'Add icon to Home screen' in Playstore settings. (If you're in Oreo or can't see this settings in Playstore, Go to Nova Settings> Desktop and you'll see this option at the bottom of the list.)
4. Now hold the app drawer icon to remove.
I prefer to drag it to home screen and place it in a location or folder that is usually overlooked. I do this because, without the app drawer icon, uninstalling apps (especially when installed from APKs) would be a hassle, since it’s just a shortcut we are seeing in the Nova Homescreen. Adding the app drawer to the home screen (I know this is against the original goal in a sense, but this is very much different from having the app drawer in the dock), helps in uninstalling apps in ease.
Necrobumping because this thread comes up if you look up "Android launcher with no drawer".
After years of struggle, someone had finally made a good launcher with no drawer. Enter Lawndesk, a fork of Lawnchair without the app drawer. It supports modem functions of stock Android launcher, namely adaptive icons.

Not my app but thought I'd share, this app is great if you want to use leanback launcher but still want to have access to your side loaded apps. It makes a shortcut app of the apps you want in leanback that shows up in leanback launcher. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=news.androidtv.tvapprepo.playstore

Android 7.1 shortcuts on 5.0+

There were some interesting features announced as part of the launch of Google's Pixel phones. While some are exclusives to the new handsets, others are a part of the new Android 7.1 Nougat. One of the headlining features for the new OS version is the App Shortcuts API, a way for apps to offer fast access to select screens and functions.
But it's only available on Nougat.
If your device didn't support update or you are not on Nougat and you want to try it out on Android version 5.0 and up.
Here is the Solution.
Download latest Nova Launcher beta:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.launcher
&
App called Sesame Shortcuts:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ninja.sesame.app.edge
Steps:
1.Download both apps.
2.Open Sesame Shortcuts , go through setup and Grant all permissions and that's it.
Goto homescreen in Nova launcher and press and hold any app.
If you didn't got App Shortcuts.
1.Go into Nova launcher settings.
2.Search for option Sesame Shortcuts inside nova settings.
3.open that option and select everything inside it.

After Update to Android 11 not able to Install NOVA Launcher.

After Updated to android 11 i am facing the problem for switching Home Launcher. Whenever I try to install the NOVA Launcher At the end of installation, a message box popped out stating "App is not installed". After several tries and re-downloaded and still the same issue.
Before updating (on Android 10) my default launcher was NOVA Launcher Prime, but after update it change to Oneplus Launcher and the NOVA launcher was missing from my App drawer and also in Apps. Please help me to solve the problem.
You could try the Nova Launcher 7 beta, it has some improvements specific to Android 11 :

They're in the Changelogs channel. I'm on Nova 7.0.24, it's had some improvements specific to gesture navigation.
If I remember rightly you need to click certain emojis to unlock channel access when you first visit. Presumably to stop bot flooding.

Is it possible that you may have some residual files from previous install? That may prevent installing nova launcher. Like other reply, I would recommend searching for nova beta version. It feels a little smoother than the stable version on Android 11.

Lock Shortcut App (open source)?

I'm looking for an app that can add a shortcut to the home screen (or even a quick setting). There's a few on github but none work on Android 12. And I know there's a ton on the playstore but they're all sketchy and bloated. I realize I could install a 3rd party launcher, but using stock pixel setup.
