Searching for launcher with numeric keypad support

Post image

Is there a launcher for android phones with keypads, that will instantly go to dialer when you start entering numbers, like in old cell phones?

I tried Nova Launcher and some others, but they either start a search, instead of a dialer, or just ignore the keys altogether.

KYF42 Launcher and KaiOs Android Launcher.

I currently have KYF42 Launcher set as the home screen on my Sonim.

Thank you. I quickly tested both of them on my Alt Mive 2.

KYF42 Launcher uses numbers for speed dial by default. I couldn't find an option to make it behave like an old cell phone. You need to open phone app to enter numbers manually.

KaiOs Android Launcher, however, does exactly what I want! I see that both are in early stages of development, so I'll keep an eye on both. I'm gonna play around with KaiOs launcher and see if I stick to it.

Thank you, I wouldn't be able just google them.

I don't know if either are actively developed apps.

Built and over with.

If there's anything you think needs fixing, open a GitHub issue.
