With two apps : vivid gesture and nova launcher, you can open nova's custom app drawer from any screen. Just set the gesture "swipe up and hold" to "shortcut" "nova action" "open app drawer". It work from any screen. No need to go to the home screen each time to open the app drawer.
Interesting.
nova launcher
Look interesting. I would like to try out this once.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Go to Settings>apps>all
Fing the stock launcher and tap on it
Tap Clear Defaults.
Or you can just reinstall Nova Launcher, then press home, android will show a window to select default launcher.
I've tried many launchers but can't seem to find the one I can setup to my desire. Nova, Apex, Action, Smart, Go, Trebuchet, etc. nothing really seems to give me that. My requirements are very specific :
1. I should be able to get a clean home-screen, no app shortcuts, no widgets, no search bar/button, no dock or App drawer icon even.
2. Three to four gestures needed so that I can bring the app drawer, the phone app and Google Cards.
3. The App Drawer needs to be categorized alphabetically.

In the pictures the 2 drawers are of Trebuchet and Solo. I want the design of the drawer to be like Solo, but I don't like its home screen, I can't remove the search bar or move it or resize it, neither can I remove the dock. The drawer of Trebuchet I find very crammed up.
Nova gave me most of it except the drawer and also Arrow launcher was good but couldn't get a clean home-screen.
So free/paid, any recommendations ????
Try Smart launcher
Well Nova actually can do all of this.
What was your problem with clearing the homescreen? Have you checked settings -> homescreen settings -> dock?
You can turn google search bar and the dock off.
And the appdrawer can be categorized alphabetically: settings -> appdrawer -> layout -> list
I have a touchscreen Android car stereo system.
I have installed Nova Launcher and paid for Prime.
I have no need for a home screen.
Can I have Nova Launcher open straight to the app drawer (including going to the app drawer when I press Home)?
Basically similar to iOS' springboard.
Hey guys, new here. I have an s8 with nova launcher and lmt launcher overlapped comfortably.
I'm currently organizing my 30+ apps, and after looking at lmt and game launcher, I got an idea.
Question: is there an app that organizes other apps in folders, but provides a shortcut to said folder rather than showing it as an icon on the main screen?
Goal: use folder shortcuts that show a screen of organized apps. Example: make game launcher a button the lmt menu, and open up an app from the game launcher menu

I have hunted high and low for this, but is there a way to scroll up and down in the Android One UI apps drawer? I hate going left to right etc, and for the moment don't want to install Nova Launcher (just want to run with the stock launcher for a bit).
I cannot see where (if it exists) this setting is to change.
As far as I know there is not a way to scroll through the app drawer vertically using One UI. You would have to switch to a different launcher for a vertical app drawer.
Use Jina App Drawer.
Try the extremely powerful Jina App Drawer. Works with any launcher. This is what I use with Samsung One Ui.
