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:
-
Trebuchet - I am on LineageOS 21
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?
Haven’t investigated what data they may or may not be taking but they were acquired by Branch (https://novalauncher.com/branch) and with that being said, use your judgement to decide if a company like branch is one you’d want to have data of yours.
Branch is an analytics company, so I would argue that yes, yes they are obtaining your data.
