I have tried Kvaesito, Niagara, Nova, Kiss and Lawnchair(and forks), personally I prefer Lawnchair because it it the most standard regarding workflow and has all if not most features one would want in a launcher. Plus the fact it is fully FOSS and supports Arcticons. If you have a small number of apps you typically launch then Kiss or Niagara(Paid Pro version recommended) would work nicely.

Sounds great but is it true it won't allow custom icons?

What will not allow custom icons? All of them support custom icons. What do you mean?

Another review of it claimed it couldn't but I'll give it a try. Thanks.
