Home Screen Setup Tutorial! (Lawnchair 12)

Ever since creating this setup back when I was using the Xiaomi Mi 11, I've become kinda obsessed with it.

And so, when I switched to using Lawnchair 12 on my Pixel 6, I recreated it. And I thought you might enjoy watching the process as well! Links to everything you need below 👇🏻

Hope you enjoyed the video team, and good news! The team behind Lawnchair have actually released a brand new version (after I'd already completed this video) that introduces individual icon theming, which you can enable under the Experimental Features menu. I still think using the method in this video is the quickest overall (if you're wanting to use a less supported icon pack like the Drops Icon Pack); however, it's definitely very helpful for quickly changing icons on the fly later on down the road.

Kudos to you Sam for uploading in what I assume is 21:9 screen ratio . It's so much better to watch videos in this format and not lose much if anything to cropping .
Thanks champ 👍😁

I recreated this on my Pixel 6 today and I couldn't be happier. It's such a clean and refreshing user experience.

Everytime I see one of your videos like this I think... I should root my phone. Then I forget 😅 Great video Sam!

In my moto phone with Android 12 gestures navigation works perfectly with lawnchair 12

[syamKGkarikkasseril]

Why don't you make a video about gesture navigation issue with third party launcher and how to fix the issue

[arunmva]

When using 3rd party launchers with gestures it doesn't work properly like there are glitch when closing app using gestures..opening recent task causes lag.. can't use 3rd party launchers at all..stuck with default launcher.

hey Sam, can you check out "before launcher" it looks same as Niagara but much simpler and have some options like filtering the notifications and style and themes...…

[hibernative]

Being a complete noob, I found an easy way to make a similar layout (with minimal visual compromise):
Download lawnchair 2 (free)
Download Drops icon set (free)
Apply the launcher, hold the home screen icon you want to change and press edit, and choose a minimalist drop icon.
Hide search bars and icon labels. Important for me was to change all the launchers font styles to "Google Sans" for the clean look.

Sam, everything is great and all but why is your Gboard still not customized. I'll suggest you an app that you can use to further customize your Gboard since you also have ROOT functionality. Install, use and Showcase Rboard Theme Manager Application on your next best android apps with root video. Thanks for the great videos.

Hey Sam, How do we get icon pack mixer plesse reply

[nitinmehta]

Just like always Sam, wonderfully clean and minimal setup video. One question Sam, what would be the procedure to setup a similar screen if one is using a Nova launcher, and what should be the icon layout size if the icons are of normal size and well supported.

How did he hide the dock in Lawnchair launcher?

[amisukarei]

Could you make a video on the best magisk modules for customization?

[NikosMittas]

I really love your setups, minimal and clean. But here is an idea ;).For us, we using miui why..not you make a theme we can download and apply for miui =)

[notbubbsh]

Hey Sam, anychance you can test this on xiaomi's budget phones?

[lakshyakumar]

Hey There, Can you make a video showing how to make a home screen setup on a MIUI device now without rooting it, because you can no more use Google Files App(It just forces you to the Mi File Explorer) for importing app icon in kwgt and it is not available in Mi File Explorer to import icons from icon pack to kwgt .

[antaeus]

Im gonna root my 6 pro! Can't wait for that nexus level of customization

[Nickenn]

hey awsome video! Love this setup so much! Could you by any chance share what the wallpaper on 1:34 is called?

[realstatus.]

Need a non root alternative method for this setup
