# Forked with extra features

List of features (click to expand)

- Removed clutter, like ads and links.
- You can rename apps in the app-drawer (Renaming apps on the home screen is already supported. Just long-click on an app on the home screen and start typing.)
- We have added a lot more options for gestures on the home screen:
- Gestures are now:
- Swiping up, down, left, right
- Clicking on the clock
- Clicking on the Date
- Possible actions now include:
- Open specified app
- Display app list
- Locking the screen
- Show Recent opened apps
- Opening the notification drawer
- Opening the quick settings
- Power Dialog
- Take A Screenshot
- Disable Gesture
- You can also position the clock independently of the home apps.
- Change alignment of apps in app-drawer independent from homescreen.
- Change font size of sections of the homescreen independent of each other.
- Removed internet permission. You never know what an app developer wants to know about you.
- Lock settings behind biometrics (toggle)
- Added the ability to report crashing via email.
- Added the ability to view app usage time.

**mLauncher is proudly licensed under the open source GPL3 license, granting users the freedom to use, study, modify and distribute it at will.**

The Copyleft provision guarantees that these freedoms remain intact, ensuring that mLauncher will remain a fully open-source project. With access to the full source code, anyone can build, fork, and customize the application to their heart's content, unleashing its full potential.

- mLauncher does not have network access.

## Permissions

mLauncher uses the following permissions:

- `android.permission.EXPAND_STATUS_BAR`
- Allows an application to expand or collapse the status bar.
- `android.permission.QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES`
- Allows query of any normal app on the device, regardless of manifest declarations. Used to show the apps list.
- `android.alarm.permission.SET_ALARM`
- Allows an application to broadcast an Intent to set an alarm for the user. Used to open the default alarm app if no other clock app is set in the settings.
- `android.permission.REQUEST_DELETE_PACKAGES`
- Required for issuing the request to remove packages. This does not allow the app to remove apps directly; this only gives the permission to issue the request.
- `android.permission.PACKAGE_USAGE_STATS`
- Allows mLauncher to see usage of other apps to list last used apps first in the app list.
