Just an FYI for people who care about this sort of thing, Nova was purchased by a data analytics company about a year ago IIRC.

It seems like a lot of people aren't aware so I figured it's worth mentioning.

To find a link now, I'd have to do the same thing you would do, which is google "nova launcher sold data analytics" or something similar.

Lawnchair is not dead. I used it when I had a Samsung phone (I can't stand their stock launcher) and I found it to be the best among all stock-based launchers.

They post updates in their Telegram channel: https://t.me/lawnchairci

Can't comment on Neo Launcher, never heard about it before.

Using Pixel now so personally I have no need for a 3rd party launcher anymore.

UPD: I see Neo is not based on stock in terms of visual design. So not a direct competitor for Nova/Lawnchair.
Posting in Telegram doesn't mean they update their app. Do they actually post app updates anywhere? Both Google Play and their Github haven't been updated in years.

They post app updates there on Telegram too. You can also see the commit activity on github: https://github.com/LawnchairLauncher/lawnchair

It's just that it's never out of alpha, hence no releases in Play Store. Though I used it and it was perfectly functional and stable regardless.

Would anyone know if this supports any applock feature? I understand there are apps in the Play Store that can do it but I'm looking for something within the launcher. I use P8pro and the Pixel Launcher doesn't support it.

Maybe it depends on your phone but with mine (OnePlus Nord N20 5G) I get a nag every time I go to the home screen informing me that the network has been disabled for Nova.
I got the same exact phone so I'm about to buy it and test it tomorrow.

I just switched to a Pixel 8 myself from iPhone and as far as I know, Pixel Launcher does not support icon packs, so that's one of the reasons I use Nova.

P.S.
If I'm wrong about this, I'd love to know how to do this on the Pixel without having to change each individual icon.

Seems like this is now a thing you use to allow a company to collect your info.

You can't have different settings for the cover and inside displays.

Ah I see what you're saying, they actually are releasing "alpha" updates, but the Play Store is stuck on version 2, and their last official GitHub release is version 1. Why the hell would they do that??? That's such a confusing way to release your app....get rid of the old outdated versions!

Honestly, it makes me kind of suspicious....it looks like the latest alpha on GitHub is 12.1, but that was back in 2022. So I assume there are even more recent versions released ONLY on Telegram? That's sketchy.

One of the best apps for Android, period. Been using it for 10+ years, can't be beat for customization, everytime I get a new phone, this is the first app I download. Totally worth the $5 price, and it's a complete steal for $.50.

I've actually switched off of it recently. There was some bug where it would freeze up and I would have to lock and unlock my phone to fix it. I miss more customization but googles has been good since about 2 months ago when I switched. They are making improvements.
I thought it was just me! Mine does the same thing with Nova launcher as well as a few other intermittent bugs. I don't like the Pixel launcher, so I just installed Smart Launcher yesterday and am slowly setting it up. Some pros and cons so far, but as long as it's not freezing up on my I'll be happy.

OnePlus' OxygenOS is the best Android OS
How so? I have the 8+ but never did anything with that,

I'm just fed up with phones that still can't recognize fingerprints/face consistently and the 8+ I'm constantly having to unlock with a password, it's 2023! I really miss the ease of a phone unlocking without doing all that!
I had the iPhone 12 until a moving van door warped it a bit, worked for months except for the power button! Everything is still locked up inside!
I really miss that search window at the top! Searched thru everything on the phone first, like they all should, ridiculous pixel 7 and 8+ search for apps, unless you click more times to tell it what to do, missed the whole point!

Pixel 7 was the worst phone I've had in years... like going backward a few years in technology, fingerprint rarely worked even after updating!

I need one that's capable of unlocking the majority of the time just by looking at it!
Who has one they can brag about!?
