Sadly my custom home screen depends on features I haven't found in any other launcher, so right now I just have internet disabled for it with trackercontrol :/
What features out of curiosity? I haven't used Nova since like Android 7
Largely stuff like widget and home screen padding, ability to place widgets on top of one another, set a custom widget for the search bar in the dock and place widgets in the dock
Some parts look kinda jank cause I haven't really worked on it since I replaced my phone so I never finished adjusting stuff to the different size screen, but this is my home screen right now. I just use a lot of features to make my jank ass setup work, so its hard to switch. Custom fonts would be so nice if I ever did make the leap though
