Android@lemdro.id•[Deep Dive] Nova Launcher Beta 8.3.0: The "Ad-Tech" Update (Moloco SDK added)English
2·2 days agoI switched away from it only recently. There is nothing else that is as customizable, intuitive, and polished. My app drawer was organized with different pages. I used most of the built in gestures. When using an icon pack, it automatically rethemed the missing icons to a color scheme that matched. I use octopi now and I have had to download other apps to get a closer experience to what I was used to.
I’ve tried most of the other suggested launchers but they feel clunky or take longer to find what I need. It also takes a long time to tinker with a new launcher. I think it’s taken a few weeks for me to find something that works well enough and I still hope that Nova gets an open source fork.

1·9 days agoI see some recommendations to switch to Niagara and smart launcher but do those not have trackers as well? Is FOSS the only way to go?
I saw the obtanium comments and switched over. What sources do people use to find apps besides a post like this?

Not specifically. I just discovered Blip from a post and it’s been great. I was curious about what people find are useful that are not well known.
A week or so ago, I did see that some people were raising some concern over downloading from f-droid and to use obtanium to directly install apps from GitHub instead.
