Marshmallow Launcher.
I got annoyed with how HTC and especially Samsung did their UI, and switched to something that looked familiar and the second feature I looked for was the option to lock the icons.
It's the best using your own launcher when you switch phone your desktop just looks the same.
Pie launcher from f-droid, before I used KISS, but it's too slow for me. Pie is more minimalistic, APK size is literally 150KiB and minimum android version is 2.3
My connection was lagging and I posted like 3 same comments accidentally :(
Do the OEM launchers count?
In that case, One UI Home
I would have loved to keep using ADW2, but it got extremely outdated and started having compatibility issues. I used it since the first major version, now legacy ADW.
Now I use and love Nova (stable branch).

I've been using the Arc Launcher for years now, purely for the reason that it looks rad as FUK. Probably better functioning launchers out there, but Arc Launcher looks cool lol
Lawnchair launcher, its simpler than pocp launcher, and I can change icon pack of individual app.
Before launcher is my favorite minimalist launcher. It's very simple and easy to use
SmartLauncher, here! I love the way it categorizes my apps for me. I like to have a few frequently used apps on my homepage with everything else tucked neatly away in my app drawer... Unfortunately most other launchers I've used alphabetize your apps all together, which I hate. If I feel like playing a game but I'm not sure which one I swipe to my Games page and just peruse them, for example.
I used Nova for years, but it felt increasingly outdated so I switched to Action Launcher. Then it too started to feel outdated after a few years so I switched to Smart Launcher, which I've been loving. I miss AL's side drawer but SL has a lot to offer if you want something slick and simple, with custom widgets and layouts. I recommend you check it out!
Before this phone (Pixel 6) I used either Nova or Action for a long long time.
Bit of an odd one, but after the Nova Launcher fiasco I tried several launchers also listen in this thread but landed on Hyperion Launcher in the end. Simple, clean and supports icon themes. Did the trick for me.
Bliss launcher for the win
