The one feature I use most of all on Nova is swipe down on the screen to search. I has that all the time and would be tough to give up. I also really like the ability to swipe up on a folder and have it launch the first app in the folder.

I'll give Octopi a try on an older phone and hopefully it has some of these same features.

Octopi two finger swipe from above is search apps.

In settings you can enable swipe to open a folder, tap to launch one app from it.
