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.

Its completely different. Cool for sure but completely uncomparable. Nova is a default launcher experience but customizable. Kvaesito has no app widgets and webapp support afaik, which was a nogo for me.

I keep using Nova as my nasty app, even on GrapheneOS. Would never use it with network permissions, and I also dont have other nasty apps installed

(apps can communicate how much they want, if both are coded to do it. If one has network permission, it can be used as a channel)

I will look into Kvaesito then!

Edit: no it doesnt do it. The search is cool. But opening the app drawer for some reason is unintuitive.

Also everything is full of “edit” buttons, I mean I already edited that?

Resizable widgets and the very extensive search for anything is awesome. But

  • you cannot create webapps (links or pwas)
  • the work profile is not greyed out when locked, and there is no unlock/lock button
