I’ve been just not updating Nova as I haven’t had a ton of time to research this, I really like the GUI, what are my privacy friendly/FOSS options for an android s21 5G?

Update: Went with Neo launcher. It’s got enough of the features that I’m willing to use it.

There are a few spots where padding can’t be removed that is obnoxious, FF search bar and dock are what I have noticed so far.

I also don’t like that I can’t continuosly scroll through my home screens.

    I haven’t found one that I like as much. My biggest hangup, and this is probably dumb, is the ability to edit the icons for PWAs so they don’t show the stupid browser icon that screams “I’m a web shortcut!!!”. I tried Hermit as a PWA/lite app replacement and Android just slaps the hermit badge on it instead. For whatever reason that annoys me enough to stick with Nova.

      Could shove it in a folder and then make the tap action open the first item in the folder, then set the folder icon to whatever your want. Disadvantage is that if it’s already in a folder you can’t do that because it would require nested folders

        Not a bad idea. I get picky about aesthetics though. Dumb, I know. But I’ll give it a try. Just seems silly to me that default launchers can’t manage editing the dang app shortcuts

        edit: Samsungs OneUI launcher does not put the badge on a PWA. But I’m not sure I trust them any more than Nova at this point…
