Why do people keep mentioning Kvaesitso? Other than being open source, IMO, it has no redeeming qualities. Come on, no proper desktop, no dock, widgets are only supported on a separate page, the only way to get to your apps is search (or favorites inside that search)... it's as barebone as launchers get.

Kvaesitso also lets u use widgets for media if the app doesn't support widgets, like I use lotus for my music which is yet to have widget support but in kvaesitso u can set preffered music app and switch on music widget u can use widget for that I personally like that.

Kvaesitso: Its a search focused launcher. Its made me so much more efficient and finding things on my phone. You dont HAVE to use it as a launcher either. You can use it as a shortcut similar to pixel search or sesame shortcuts. For example I have it mapped to a One Hand Operation+ gesture so that I can bring up the search menu at any point. It saves so much time.
