Version 1.2.0

Updated the minimum android API to v24. Should allow proper activity resizing.

Version 1.1.2

The launcher now starts in 1-2 seconds from cold start, less if cached.

Fixed: Icon resizing crashes the app
Fixed: Inconsistent behaviour in edit mode (Now you can select and move multiple apps easily)
Fixed: Sometimes the app would be incorrectly sized when launched from the shortcut
Fixed (1.1.1): Hidden apps would not be persistently added or removed
Fixed (1.1.2): Hidden group would not be hidden when populated

v1.0.0

This is the initial release of my launcher.

While I could do more, it's already much faster than any alternative, while providing a sleek and customizable UI. Time from cold start is 3-4 seconds, and ~1s for subsequent launches.

Unlike PiLauncher and other forks, I've opted not to include an option to redirect the explore app, as that method is slow and unreliable.
Instead, I've opted to provide a separate shortcut app. Install, then uninstall Facebook messenger, then install LauncherShortcut_Messenger.apk to replace it. View the README for more info!
