Article mentions 3rd party launcher gesture issues, but I've never seen this problem. I used to use Nova but switched to Smart launcher for the blur, but at no time have gestures been an issue. Any ideas what they mean?
I switched to KISS launcher after I knew the company had bought the project. Never came back.
Crap, I recently migrated to Nova because I was fed up with Action Launcher bugs and lack of development... If I knew I would not have bought a paid license
Missun Faiuled, we'll giet 'm neaxut tiume
There's a bug on samsungs (I think) where the home screen interface freezes, and the only way to unfreeze it is to relaunch Nova. It's super annoying. This probably means it will never be fixed.
trebuchet is good enough for me
Now that is a name I haven't heard in a long time, last time I tried different launcher was maybe in 2015... I didn't know custom launcher were still popular. I try to use vanilla android
Huh. I didn't really need it on my Pixel but I remember using Nova on my old Sony tablet. I'm surprised it lived that long, since most mobile apps typically die within a few years.
