Then don't worry about it

@Panda1606 worst they can do is remove the license from you. Use it as you please and while you can.

Edit: did you also have to input your card details? If yes, check if you haven't been billed already.

He likely decapitated himself in the middle of the field or something.

@9488fcea02a9 bummer. I was hoping one had an implementation like this.

@9488fcea02a9 hmm, didn't lawnchair also have an app drawer and a dock? Or other similar launchers like Microsoft, action, hyperion etc.? There are plenty more AOSP based launchers in the Play Store.

@Fubarberry I have taken up Goat Simulator 3. Just like on the first one, I can't stop finding new stuff.

[...] and Android is worse off for it

Hard disagree!

The only damage the whole Nova Launcher thing does is mostly sentimental. Nowadays, there are plenty of launchers to choose from, all with some great degrees of customizability. Here are my top picks:

• Kvaesitso - my current pick. It's not the most flexible on this list, but I generally find more and more ways I could integrate it in my personal life. And the font pick is just great.
• Lucid Launcher - another top pick of mine that is not relied on AOSP. Goes more like a vertical scroll than a horizontal one. Used it on my tablet for as long as it lived, almost.
• KISS Launcher - If you want to Keep It Simple, Stupid. It's all just a search bar. That's it. Search for everything you need and when you're done, you're done.
• Niagara Launcher - also minimalist, but more functional. Didn't really get the hang of it just yet, not sure if I will. Kvaesitso is quite cool.
• AIO Launcher - let's just call it the best strike between minimalist and functional, ok?
• Lens launcher - for when you want to be so minimalist you put all your apps on the home screen
• ap15 launcher - same as Lens but there are only labels instead of icons
• Total launcher - goes the opposite way. Probably the most customizable on this list. Really great once you get the hang of it.
• Square home - if you used a Windows phone, you know what this is about. If you did not, you will know (alternative implementation, Mur)
• Microsoft Launcher - as the name implies, it's Microsoft's current attempt at a phone launcher. Really useful, especially if you are invested in Microsoft's ecosystem.
• Plus there are plenty more others that I didn't get to test really much, such as Smart launcher, Action launcher, hyperion etc. However, the most hyped in this thread seems to be Lawnchair. Looks like it follows Nova the closest among the open source picks.

Really, there's no point in worrying about this. I'm also sad to see Nova go, especially since it was that popular. But there's that. The launcher landscape is the one I worry the less in Android.

I got Nova Premium on a sale and used it ever since, but I had some issues with it on an older phone with lower resources, so I switched to the default launcher (which was still cool btw, I could open the app drawer straight from the recents menu).

After I got a new phone and went for Android 14 I discovered that the search bar in the app drawer of the default launcher opened the Google app instead of being a simple search screen with all the apps. Also, I couldn't have themed icons in the app drawer. So I tried Nova again and it didn't have these either.

I took advantage of this and decided to try something that would not be based on AOSP, and Kvæsitso seems to be pretty much what I was looking for. My only problem is the fact that I cannot add more than one widget per row but that does make for a more minimalist setup tbh.

@Lumidaub this, plus corruption, plus Russia

@BuboScandiacus and to Ilie Bolojan

@Stamets

@RmDebArc_5 trashy reporting

@remington was about time. Thankfully, no one died despite the far right triad's efforts (AUR, SOS and POT parties) to slow things down. Fuck Russian aggression and Putler in particular.
