so I finally got the motivation to install lineage os to my phone after thinking about it like year. and now that I finally modified this phone I started thinking about ricing this phone a bit. I'm looking for a launcher that isn't too minimalistic and with a decent amount of customization. kinda like kde bit you know... stable. any suggestions?

I landed on Nova back in 2013 because it allowed me to assign secondary app shortcuts to icons on my dock that are accessed by swipe-up gestures. My hotbar has:

  • phone, but swipe up for contacts
  • messages, but swipe up for Gmail
  • music player, but swipe up for YouTube
  • Firefox, but swipe up for clock app

Haven't paid any attention to any newer launchers.

Swipe up and swipe down. I've used Nova since about 2013 too, I've tried countless other launchers and always fall back on Nova.

This is exactly why I use this launcher. Group similar apps together without adding their individual icons to my home screen!
