Description

Introducing the home screen layout feature! Now, users have the ability to personalize their experience by disabling the app drawer and arranging apps directly on their home screen.

I tried out the test build from your branch and here's a quick report of how this feature works now:

  • The 'experimental feature' entry is fine and works as I expected. However this should be a breaking change as most of the homescreen functionalities would work in different ways.
  • The flowerpot folders keep disappearing and being recreated from time to time.
  • Icons keep resetting to the left-most position and does not respect user arrangements.
  • Icons that are dragged out of the flowerpot folders get duplicated within the folder on the next launch.

Technically, I think the flowerpot folders and new icons should get saved into the database once they're generated, in order to be treated equally as user placed icons. And only the previously unseen icons should be automatically added. The current implementation might need further considerations.

It puts each app in its own "desktop pane" (not sure what it is actually called), instead of in a folder named "other" or putting them all in the same panes

it's still WIP and as if you can see the PR is still draft!
