Nova launcher. I like the custom icons, specifically the Line Free package. I also wanted the wrap around scrolling for home screens which wasn't a feature on the first phone I put nova on. No idea if it is on my current phone because I went straight to Nova.

I stopped using Nova after them being bought by a company dealing with telemetry. I don't want to lose control of the data my launcher has access to.
Same, a really great launcher ruined by corpo. I'm only choosing FOSS after that.
Damn, thanks for the heads up, had no idea about Nova :(
Yeah seeing the Nova recommendations made me wonder if there were people who didn't know of the branch analytics acquistion, since it was only talked about for a week.

I'm still using Nova but I've downgraded to a version released before the acquisition and restricted network access. Still haven't found a launcher that does app drawer tabs as well as Nova has. That's pretty much the only feature holding me back from switching to another launcher.
I love Nova, been using it for 5+ years.
