      Same… Though with the latest Android it’s been so buggy I gave Smart Launcher a try for the past few months and have mostly been happy with it. It’s annoying that I can’t easily have 3 screens with one in the center being the start but I got over it.

        That’s my smart launcher complaint too. I ended up just turning off the panel to the left, since I found it buggy.

        Otherwise it’s great and I’d recommend to anyone moving off Nova.

    I can’t view any of this. Will someone post a breakdown?

      Hi everyone, Rob here.

      I imagine you’ve seen the seen the news by now. It sucks. We’ve gone from a team of around a dozen people to just one full time developer – the original founder, Kevin.

    Used Nova for years until Niagra launcher was recommended on here last year. Sad to see that Nova has reached the end of the line though, I never got on with anything else.

Rules:

spoiler
  1. Use common sense.
  2. No distribution of APKs from unknown sources or direct downloads. You are only allowed to share from GitHub (no direct links, repo only), Play Store, F-Droid, or Aurora Store.
  3. No piracy. This includes hacking, cracking in-app purchases or bypassing forms of DRM. YouTube (Music) Vanced are allowed exceptions to this.
  4. No rooting apps allowed. This also includes hacking software or tools.
  5. No apps that require root to function. This also includes Magisk and Magisk-related software. However: If the app features extra functionality that is available if you are rooted, but it is not required to use the app it is then okay. I.e. YouTube Vanced does not require root, but it features stuff that works only with root.
  6. No software that requires ADB or patching system files. Exceptions are well-known debloaters such as UAD and other manually approved stuff. Otherwise, ADB is not a user-friendly or safe tool and discourage its usage here.

These rules are subject to change at any point in time with or without user notice.
