I come from iOS jailbreaking, and there was a tweak called cylinder that would add custom swipe animations when swiping from page to page in the home screen. I was wondering if there was anything similar to that on android. I’m willing to root if it’s required.

Oh Cylinder, a tweak name I haven't heard in a long time... I used to love it!

As for getting the custom animations some other launchers that others have already recommended you are good, but be aware you are trading those neat animations for cringe animations system wide, because Android fucked up this since I don't remember when. ☠️

I checked out some launchers, and they’re decent, but not as great as cylinder unfortunately. Cylinder’s animations were just on a different level.
