There’s never good news. Guess I gotta try and find a new launcher that isn’t ass. Update: did some googling of the time line and my Nova launcher hasn’t been updated since Dec of 21 ,before the acquisition, so it should be good.
I remembered that I bought the launcher at 0.99 USD but not when. I checked my emails and it was 8 years ago. I think the last time I used Nova launcher was around 6 years ago.
It’s unfortunate that they got sold to an analytics company. It was an good launcher
I like action launcher. I’ve tried Lawnchair 2 but it’s still in beta after like 7 years. Honestly haven’t found any launchers that are still actively updated that aren’t shitty. The others seem to be either lacking features, customization or are overly simplistic.
Oof, looks like the only available release is a debug version. It’d probably be a good idea to hold off until it’s a bit more up to date. I loved lightning launcher and I’m excited it’s making a comeback, it was the only app that would let me do a vertically sliding single-column folder lol.
For those who don’t know, Nova got sold to an analytics company a while back. It’s a spy app now.

I’ve been using it the whole time across dozens of devices. I love it. I guess I need to look into switching.
I was just thinking “it’s refreshing that you only have to pay for it once, instead of it being a live service.” I guess there’s always a catch.
Whats an alternative then?

Unfortunately nothing much. I tried Lawnchair, ADW (on a whim, hasn’t been updated in almost a decade), and action launcher. Went with AIO again lol.
I hear LightningLauncher got open sourced! Pierre isn’t working on it anymore though; there’s a fork being worked on here.
Boooooooo!
How do I go about installing the fork?
