What a great advertisement for almost any other launcher.
Lawnchair is my go to if anyone wants a pretty simple and customizable launcher that respects your privacy.
I second this. Lawnchair is great.
It sounded interesting so I gave it a look and realized that I've been using it for years now and it's just so unobtrusive that I forgot about it.
I've tested several popular ones and landed at Lawnchair as well. Plus point for being FOSS.
Switched about a year ago and it works perfectly!
+1. Just last week they added the ability to import Nova backups.
I downloaded the APK for the old version before they added the spyware and bloatware, but i turned off auto updates and Google Play keeps trying to get me to update Nova launcher to the newest version 🥱
Not going to happen and the best part is there was no forced update within the app so im going to keep using the old one till it breaks.
