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?
This was the closest for me, but the project has been slow for some time as the devs are busy with other things

Project has been slow is an understatement. Lawn chair was definitely a contender but with complete lack of updates over SEVERAL years - it’s abandonware and should be treated as such.
I don’t think devs or users really care about launchers in 2024. I still use Nova but only because there is nothing better.
One of the devs releases current builds of Lawnchair 14. Apart from a few bugs here and there, they work great

Thanks, I’ll check it out.
The problem for me was that I got tired of tracking the team’s organizational changes and busy periods.
The fact that this is not even official but a fork for builds is just frustrating.
Does it let you severely reduce padding and let you wrap around home screens?
I tried that one too. I couldn’t stick with it. I don’t remember why now.
