Hello folks. Four minutes ago, I got a notification that Nova now has ads, despite Me disabling updates. Three minutes ago, I uninstalled Nova. Any recommendations for a new launcher?
My ideal launcher would be completely free, have plenty of customisation options, and the only updates would be bugfixes and op-in features that I am not notified about. I first installed Nova years ago, to make My new phone’s home screen look like the last one’s. And I’m not about to change My ways now, so hopefully the new launcher lets Me recreate the look and feel of the very first smartphone I ever owned over a decade ago.

All the best,
A cranky old wizard


Nice to see some here I haven’t heard of before. Looking forward to checking some of these out.
I’ve been trying Olauncher since another thread like this maybe a week ago. It’s alright so far, though very much the opposite of what OP wants. (100% text based, no icons, no sorting)
It’s fine on my phone, but ideally I’d like the same interface on all my devices, and I don’t know if I’d enjoy Olauncher on my tablet.
