Are there more 'private' launchers for pixel phones?
-
Yeah, it lacks a lot of features. Feeds don’t work either.
Not a fan of feeds and I don't need them but I get its annoying for some people. I can't find a good launcher with folders, up to date and with some customization

This happens on my Pixel as well. I forget which launcher I use but I keep the icon on my homescreen so I can just hold it to get the app info and force stop it.
I set up a tasker intent that launches then kills the pixel launcher after 1 second. Got it as a quick settings tile. I use total launcher but it does it with lawn chair as well. Factory reset didn't help.

Most foss launchers I’ve tried are terrible. LawnChair is the only one that stood out the most.

I will try lawnshair first to see how I like thanks
looks good -

I used https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/apk/com.saggitt.omega before realizing it's 2 years old. The only one I've found with folders

You mean folders as in sections?
- Games
- Social
- Productivity
Something like that?

As a counterpoint, I've been using Lawnchair on my Pixel 4, 6, and 8, on stock, LineageOS, and GrapheneOS, and never had this happen to me.
Same, with their current 14 beta.

Hello
Disclaimer I would switch to try grapheneos if I could currently my phone from Verizon apparently can not have it's bootloader unlocked so...
I am looking for launcher suggestions that are maybe less intrusive if that's possible. I mostly just want to get rid of the Google search at the bottom and the 'at a glance' at the top of the home page I can't figure it out.
Kvaesito is awesome.

I’ve been happily using mLauncher. It’s about as minimal as they come. I’ve got zero on my screens.

After trying out many different app launchers on f-droid Kvaesito is what I found to be the best.
Kvaesito is very good and is what I use it allows you to swipe down and eminently start searching for apps.My biggest problem with it (and it's a big one) is ocasionally it will just freeze and stop working until I lock the phone and turn it on again. (maybe you won't have this problem just try it out)

Folders in the app drawer or app list (depends on how you call it)

Will do. Many people talk about launcher freezing thanks
