Pixel 6 pro. I use Nova launcher. It works great and is very customizable, especially with icon placement. I recommend it.
Sadly Nova was purchased by a Chinese company with a history of invasive data harvesting last year.
I had premium up until a year ago, but I can't recommend it anymore after their purchase.
Choose open source, people.
Well, shit. I just bought it the other day and started with it. Had nfi.
FYI, you can download a version from before the acquisition. I'm running the 7.0.25 release and restricting network access on both the base app and the premium license. Not sure if it's foolproof, but hopefully I find a launcher that does app drawer tabs at least as well.
Can you give any more detail on this? I really like Nova and was really sad when it was purchased. I've tried a couple different launchers, but I don't like any of them as much as I liked nova. How did you get the old app? Just off some APK website? And then just install the license from Playstore? Or is there someway to download old versions from the play store? How are you restricting it's internet access? Would live to try this and get back my Nova launcher .
