Nova, but the devs sold out and are VERY aggressive towards the community if they question the motives of the new owner, so if I wasnt so ingrained in it, I probably wouldnt recommend it.
It was that aggressiveness that persuaded me to finally dump Nova - I saw people (including myself) asking perfectly reasonable questions a d the responses were not at all encouraging.
I tried a few other launchers, and eventually settled on Total. It's a bit fiddly, and takes a while to set up but it's VERY customizable. I really like it.
Really? That sucks. I've been using nova for like 10 years
I still use NOVA but it is the version before they merged in the buyout stuff. One day it might break but it's the best option for me right now.
One feature I haven't found on any other launcher is the ability to use both folders and tabs in my app drawer. In Nova I have my app drawer in 3 tabs. Apps (ones I use daily), games, and everything else. On top of that I like to use a few folders in the main app page to collect things like all my home automation apps, food apps, work apps, etc.
Lawnchair came closest a couple years ago but could only do tabs or folders but not both.
Oh man, I had no idea about that.
I've been using Nova for something close to a decade now I think. I just toss it on my new devices and move on, it's done what I wanted for ages (mostly for the adjustable grid, but I'm sure there's some features it has that I've stuck with that I just feel are default at this point, stock launcher just feels weird).
