[Request] Problem with 3rd party launcher and recent apps screen on Hi Reader Pro
1 project | /r/eink | 11 Jun 2023

I would like to use Lawnchair on my Hi Reader Pro, but whenever I set it to use a third party launcher (obviously I haven't tried them all, but I tried 5 or 6 with the same outcome) the "Recent Apps" (Square Button) stops working after a few uses. By that I mean: nothing happens when it's clicked.
What's a launcher that can give me the closest stock Pixel experience but is also fairly customizable?
