As the title states, I have used Nova launcher for years. As it is the most feature rich, most customizable launcher that supports basically everything I could need from it. However I am looking to switch away from it.

What launchers are you all using?

I have tried a handful of them and none quite fit the bill. And one feature nova has but no other launcher seems to is invaluable to me; that feature being able to swipe up or down on an app on the home screen to launch another app or task. It’s how I keep my main page from being cluttered.

I have tried Neo Launcher which I love, but it doesn’t seem to be updated anymore.

I have also tried:

So the only option I am feeling is gonna work is Nova but I am trying to ditch as many closed source, data thieving apps and services as possible.

I could however just use AFWall+ to block internet connection.

Any suggestions?

      I checked it out but the reviews have me questioning it…I don’t mind paying for apps but the free version of this pops up full screen ads when you switch apps?? But more importantly, it hasn’t been updated since last year and Pixel users are reporting a ton of really bad bugs (I use a pixel)

      I might download it tonight and see if I experience them before I commit

        Good to know. I switched from Pixel a few years ago to Sony and it’s working flawlessly for me.
