Just got a new work phone: Galaxy S22. Wanted a pixel but it was out of stock in our internal allocation. Already tired of samsung's UI and interested in something new.

So what do you like? Bonus points if it works with android enterprise's profile mode dual app drawers.

KISS Launcher for me. Minimal UI so you can see your wallpaper, decent search and open source. I'm surprised there aren't more mentions of it here actually.

Giving it a try now - seems great so far!

Gave it a try and I can see the appeal, but for me the lackluster widget support/customization is a bummer.

I like having a clock widget with two other wildly different timezone clocks shown on my home screen beneath my timezone (makes it easier to know when things in those places are happening in my timezone), and it doesn't support displaying the clock widget ~~that way~~ with multiple timezones so far as I could tell, despite allowing the display of the clock widget.

Edited for clarity.

You can have widgets in Kiss. Enable minimalistic UI and widgets will be supported.

I think you may have misread/misunderstood my reply. I didn't say you couldn't, only that their support/customization was lackluster.

As I said, I could place a clock widget, but it wasn't able to display the full customization with additional timezones' clocks displayed.
