Since a few folks seem unaware of this, I'm posting anew for visibility.

I've been looking since this was first announced forever ago but can't find a comparable alternative. My two main requirements are being able to create folders for apps in the app drawer and being able to assign "swiping up" on my home screen icon for the to open hidden apps or actions. I would love if anyone had a suggestion that included those two features.

Same exact reasons I am using it. I tried a few alternatives, but none were close.

Lawnchair is FOSS, has tabs in app drawer and you can swipe up on home screen icons to launch hidden

You can't swipe on dock icons like in Nova

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Yes, you can.

Long press on an icon (dock or homescreen) and you have option to then assign "swipe up" to a separate action.

All my dock icons have secondary actions assigned this way.

Which version are you using? Just tried with the latest beta and there is no swipe up option.

I was using play store version I believe

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

Same. Neither of those features seems to be there for me on version 14

Thanks I'll have to check it again. I guess I either missed it or it wasn't implemented when I originally looked.
