This is a gross violation of Betteridge’s law of headlines.
I agree
Question is what data do launchers gather ? ig everything under the screen
Yeah that’s kinda what you want them to do. 😛
Well except maybe device settings, granted.
Yes and KISS
Need? No. Need? Yes!
Ya. Cheaper androids come with annoying launchers, like no app drawer so all your apps are on your home screen.

Kvaesitso is so much more cmofotable than anything else, i will literally start using any other alternative if you try to take it from my
unless you want android to turn into ios then yes
there’s so much i can do in nova that i can’t do in one ui or the pixel launcher
Use nova for years, but never found an of the features beneficial. I’ve been using One UI since moving to the s24u and I have noticed no real difference in functionality.
folders, grid size, customising badge notifications, dock size, multiple docks, multiple tab pages in app drawer, hide icons in app drawer, drawer groups, etc. those are some of the things i like in nova :)
Grid size is the big one for me, it’s so nice

I don’t know what’s required for KLWP support in a launcher, but KLWP is a live wallpaper with touch interaction. Don’t know if stock support that on my phone. But some cool setup like media player functionality, time and such, in the font and size I want. And some other disguised shortcuts.
But for me in actual Nova, it being able to style app icons individually, swipe actions on app icons, and the dock at the bottom being able to slide to have more apps. And pretty standard now, but swipe up for app drawer and down for notifications. It works especially well with OnePlus gestures that I’m still holding on to.
Am I the only one that uses lightning launcher? I think I should switch.
Try Niagara. Long live 3rd party launchers.
Thanks for this. I’m enjoying it
Niagara and kiss are my two go-to launchers
Kvaesitso and Niagara for me
although i have practically abandoned niagara for kvaesitso
This is what happened to me just recently. Have been using Niagara for about a year but just discovered Kvaesitso. They each do some things better than the other but both have some really great features that aren’t just about what you can do to a 5 x 6 grid.
I dislike my phone’s stock launcher so I definitely need a third-party launcher.
Yes they are still needed
IMO Niagara (Pro) is the best for simplicity, wouldn’t recommend if you need quick access to more than 10-15 apps. Lawnchair seems to be the most stable, ad-free and funcional launcher out there. I recommend pairing Lawnchair with Arcticons for a sweet sweet UI.
I guess I’m the only one that’s stopped using a third party launcher… After getting an S23 and being on One UI 6 I’m finding I’m not hating the stock launcher anymore. I was using Nova forever.
Question makes no sense, it’s a feature not a need. I have written a launcher for a specific usecase.
Yes absolutely. Nova forever but the version I used made split screen fail so I am back at the AOSP one which lacks in like everything.
- instant search (launch keyboard)
- searchbar always on bottom
- rename and hide apps
- search for contacts and more
