Ugh. I’ve been holding out until now.
I’ve tried a ton of others but the only one I even half like is Lawnchair. The others are too restricted, too annoying or too creepy.
Does anyone know how to replicate the custom groups/tabs of apps inside the app drawer?
The app drawer and ability to choose my own search engine are what keeps me on it. I don’t want “smart” anything, just let me control it.
Nova was so customizable. I used those same group, tab features a lot over the years. Categories like: Network, Games, PIM, Storage, Images, Comms, etc, can take a lot of clutter out of your main drawer, not to mention Nova let you customize the visuals to a extensive point.
I remember using one called Apex around the days of early Nova and the two of them would swap who was in the lead and who was the better launcher. I haven’t found an open source launcher that gives me what I want.
As others have said, check out Octopi. I was also sticking to Nova, couldn’t find anything even close until Octopi.
Ah man, I forgot about apex
Yeah, it was top notch, right up there with Nova for a year or two. Oh how the great have fallen!
Octopi Launcher. Until I found this I was ignoring all the red flags with Nova.
Found this, ran away from Nova.
Octopi launcher is looking good so far! Thank you for the suggestion.
Yea Octopi is the closest to 1:1 my old setup.
