 InkOS is a minimal text based launcher with D-Pad reasonable navigation support. Does not support custom shortcuts however, and has issues with showing all installed apps at times.

 InkOS is capable of creating shortcuts through its settings menu, which is accessible by pressing and holding with the cursor on the home screen. In "App Drawer>System Shortcuts" you can enable various system shortcuts. Notably, "Settings Search" is a shortcut to the [[:android_settings_menu|Android settings menu]].

 Setting up some of the home screen requires a cursor or [[:screen_mirroring|screen mirroring]]. But navigation on the home screen is clearly highlighted and easy to use by the D-pad once set up.
