it was bothering me for at least two weeks now with “nova launcher can’t open network connection”. today it finally presented this shitty ad dialog with missing reject all option where you can either accept all, or dive into few dozens of separate section, each of them containing few dozens sliders, all of them enabled by default.
let this be warning to others and you can deal with it before it surprises you when you are somewhere outside.
what privacy concious launchers do you people use? i have tried kiss launcher, but that doesn’t seem to be for me.
i want classic launcher where i have icons on desktop where i put them and i can manipulate them blindfolded, not something that is trying to reinvent the wheel.
Lawnchair for me as well.
Back in the good old days Nova was actually one of the three apps I paid for. Can’t say as I’m pleased about things with Nova going down the way they did, but I can’t say as I’m too surprised, either. (The other two in case anyone cares are Torque and Alpine Quest.)
I guess I paid for nova too, a very long time ago (maybe when I was on android 4 or 5), I stopped using it because of some disturbing bugs. I didn’t follow that much of its evolution after that. I kinda lost interest for custom launchers, as the ones from the phones I bought or the ROMS I installed were good enough for me.
I started looking for launchers again because I started using /e/os a few years ago, and I do not like their launcher at all.
