Im not even sure what this all means? Ive been using Nova Launcher since my Galaxy Note 2, though... maybe I should stop using it?

[–] Kausta@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The version on the Play Store hasn't been updated since Dec 14, 2021 and it still works better than any other alternative imo. However, I am planning to stop using it when they eventually force us to update to the new version (which is the current beta they share through discord).

Stopped using Nova because gesture animations started to get janky on my Note20 and persist on my S23 Ultra.

Been using Lawnchair since then.

The animations seem to be much better on nova beta 8 / android 13 here's a video I just took: https://giphy.com/gifs/KzsTFd0JIvCc9MWI52

Idk if it would be the same case with Samsung's android ui though. Lawnchair is still a good choice, just not actively being developed right now.

I tried Nova again after a long time ant it's good again, thanks! Tried a bunch lol, hyperion is pretty great, Smart Launcher is the smoothest but I came back to Nova anyway

I really like Nova, but also prefer to keep as much of my data to myself so I blocked Nova access to the internet via app permissions. Also blocked branch domains on my pi-hole for peace of mind.
