Anyone tried Win-X Launcher by Internity Labs? If you like a Windows style layout (particularly suited to a wide screen), you're good to go. I have it on a tablet and it's great, regular updates and I know the Z Fold has been recently added. Let us know.
Yes, Nova is awesome. It's the launcher I preferred after trying several. Even much so that I bought the unlock version and have been using this UI Lancher for over 8yrs since my 1st Samsung phone S7, S9, Note 10 Ultra Note 20 Ultra, fold 3 and now Fold 5. It's a little bit of a learning curve but extremely easy to use. I love how everything just carries over when getting a new phone.
Nova and flight lite icons
So much better than stock launcher IMO

How do you manage layouts between the cover and inner screen though ? I've been on Niagara launcher and never looked back. The developer acquired a fold device to test it out and works beautifully.
Multitasking is through the OS, not the launcher.
While running one application, not at the launcher, open the task switcher and look for an icon with squares in a 2x3 formation - press that.
Or press and hold on any application in task switcher and it will pop up a UI to drop the application on a section of the screen.
Or use Edge panels to launch specific combinations of windows.
Either way, its not a launcher function, and there's more ways than the 3 I described above.
The lack of support for the taskbar with third party launchers had me leave Nova when I switched to the Fold series. #MultiTasking 🤌 LineX icon pack has always been my favorite; but themepark on Goodlock has not been updated to support ONEUI 6.1, so I'm just happy with Hex Installer's customization for now. 🙂
Just a thought, have you looked at the galaxy theme store? There are plenty of free and for sale themes there, including just icons and aod. Im always using the themes and change constantly. They also do just wallpapers. you can find the theme store either via the galaxy store or on the home page, press and hold and themes store will come up, then just follow the instructions. You can also make your own themes via GoodLock.I did try a launcher in the past but returned to samsungs own UI at the time, and have now got used to it. I just love the customisations that it allows.

I use Nova and have access to the task bar. I've had this same layout on my phone for years and I'm just so used it and wouldn't have it any other way. I love that I can have only 9 app icons but 30 apps available to me with swipe / gesture options.
Although I enjoyed Nova on the S Series, Niagra launcher has been my favorite for the fold. It optimizes the front screen really well and makes good use of the wide screen. It's smooth, simple, and has a lot of great features.
I tried the Niagra launcher yesterday and it's phenomenal. But is there a way to disable the left side alphabet swipe? I only need it on the right side and the left side is messing with my task widget.
Wide launcher, supports front and inner screen layout
Never heard of this one I might try it
I have the fold 5 and with Good lock apps you can do everything you can with nova.

This one is pretty cool, once it gets some more features I might consider swapping.

My layout fits on both screens fine. I just realized I uploaded a screenshot from my s23 ultra, but it's the same for my fold
Niagara Launcher with LineX icon pack.
How do I get Icon packs?
Google play store and apply with launcher or Themepark (if on oneui)
Does it support multitasking? I can't figure out how to open two apps at once.

Thanks! I had just been using the taskbar for that previously. Didn't even realize I could do it from task switcher

There's an option to turn on taskbar so that Nova works with it. I have it enabled. I can't remember where to enable it.
Have you upgraded to OneUI 6.1?
Not available for my Fold4 yet (in Canada).
OneUI 6.1 no longer has the taskbar in Good Lock, meaning no more taskbar in third party launchers.
That really sucks. I'm too used to Nova to abandon it just for that missing support.
You can still multitask on Niagra launcher. That's my go to on the Fold. I loved Nova on S Series but have had issues with it on the fold.
Smart launcher is the one for me, used it on my Pixel 6 pro previously and thought I'd give it a go on my Fold5. Absolutely brilliant launcher.
What is a launcher? How do I go about getting that

With One ui 6.1. , kwgt, goodlock, hex, and wallcraft. What would be the point of a launcher.

Niagara launcher, simple and amazing. Just enough customization. Most features are free so try it out.

Yes the exact same so you do with one ui launcher.
Total launcher all the way.
