Dang this is my favorite. I might look into a good alternative later on. I'm not on my phone that much anymore.

Is the Nova 7 apk that everyone references actually "safe" or is that just regurgitated rumor without source?

I switched to T-UI Launcher like 7 years ago and never looked back. The F-Droid version is the best version, the one on Google Play lacks SMS and some other features.
Command line launcher is unironically by far the best and most efficient thing I've ever used. I tried T-E-L but I found it was a real battery hog. I may give it another go though. Maybe it was just a problem with the phone I was using at the time.
Lanwchair is a great replacement but I am facing many problems with its widgets and don't forget the default launcher is always the best option if you consider less surface attack
Saved for the launcher recommendations, although all of my experiences with them have been bad because of the broken animations since A12 I think... Some look slightly better, like kvaesitso.
sigh
So what's the recommended replacement?
I will not go back to the stock launcher because they're dog water.

I've been using KISS for I don't know how many years at this point. I can't imagine using anything else at this point. I'm sure that there's plenty of other great FOSS launchers out there!
