    Shit I’ve been using Android phones since version 2 and never needed any replacement launcher. The apps and files are right there where I need them already, easy to access with a couple of taps.

      Nova gives you a lot more control over your desktop and other options, including a bunch of cool gestures. But, I didn’t realize that it’s owned by an analytics company. :(

        The only gesture I don’t have that I would like to add back to my android is the old Motorola hatchet-chopping motion. You’d hold the phone sideways and chop the air like a hatchet 2-3 times and your desired action would execute. I used mine for the flashlight and it was constantly useful.

          Literally the only thing I miss switching to a custom ROM Xiaomi

            I used to use those Moto Gestures on LineageOS BTW. There were many good Motorola phones supported by custom ROMs.

        It also made it a lot easier to migrate between devices, and I’m the earlier data had features that are common now but not so much then.

        I dropped it due to crashing issues with a new phone. Seems a good thing that I did
