They claim 14 is soon™. I just found a GitHub this past week that compiles version 14 testing. So far this has been the best launcher I've used in years, easily.
https://github.com/Goooler/LawnchairRelease
What's different in that version? I am using the f-druid version for years now without complaints. It just works.
There's something that broke/bugged launchers starting in Android 13 that launchers have "fixed," despite people still complaining. Sometimes you go to your task viewer to switch to, or close some apps; sometimes the card/app you wanted would be transparent, and would lock up and freeze the phone. The Only fix is to use the side button to lock the phone, then unlock and close the app/tab. This happened to me on all launchers, betas included, until Lawnchair 14. It's been too long since I did OG Lawnchair from an app store, but this new one has things like supporting icons dynamically changing colors with material you. I personally like material you, and using their second app Lawnicons has been refreshing. Every other launcher would fail to color/theme some icons, or not change colors with a new wallpaper, etc. Not to mention it still feels super fast and slick to use.
Alright, sounds good thanks. I have that bug as well from time to time, will check out the new version.
