Maybe something for the Pixel phones? I’ve been using ADW for a long time now, and was wondering what some frequently used launchers are. (I used Cyanogen for a long time, too.)
There are lists all over the internet, but I’m interested in what the Lemmy crowd likes. Thanks!
Edit: Thanks guys - a few of these were on my radar, some I hadn’t heard of or seen in the Play/f-droid lists. Having the reasons why you like each of them helps me figure out what I want from a launcher (for instance, the purchase of Nova by a company known for its data collection is a big turn-off even though it seems loved) - since you guys laid out some pros and cons of a bunch of launchers, it gives me a better picture!
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.
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.
Same, a really great launcher ruined by corpo. I’m only choosing FOSS after that.
