End of an era: Nova Launcher's parent company lays off practically everyone - eviltoast

So, anybody know a good launcher to use once Nova goes offline?

    Are there any launchers that have Nova’s 2 best features?

    1. Swipe-to-open folders (with tap to open the first item in the folder)
    2. Set any icon you want as an app icon?

    I’ve tried Lawnchair and it was missing these 2 features. I will switch to any launcher that supports these!

      I’ve been using Neo Launcher for a while as a Nova replacement and it’s pretty good. Both of those features are included as well as things like shortcut actions when you double tap or swipe on the home screen.

      Omg thanks for asking this, and thanks to the people that responded. I sincerely went through other alternatives around 5 years ago, and none of them were close to Nova in terms of folder customisation. I’m glad the landscape had changed quite a bit!

      Total Launcher does both of those. It’s massively customisable, although a bit daunting-looking in places. I love it though.
