i'm still using nova (was a premium subscriber from before the sale) does anyone have anything compariable? mostly the ability to use legacy icons, scale the grid size, have multiple tabs and folders, hide icons, assign icons to multiple folders (and hopefully import nova launcher backups into a new place)?

i'm fine with google play though i'd love it if it was on fdroid or neo store.

I replaced Nova with Kvaesitso and honestly its pretty awesome.

Its more limited than Nova was but it meets my use cases. The biggest adjustment was using labels to filter things instead of using folders, which I've actually come to like better.

But plenty of customizations for everything else you mentioned and more.

hmm, as someone who was a long time del.icio.us user labels/tags sounds good

It's a subscription now? I paid $1 ten years ago or so

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

i dont think its a subscription. you can download it anytime but they have nova prime which has additional features for a one time cost
