Nova launcher works great for me, I haven't let it update in years. Looks like that isn't going to change.

I've been burned so many times that I've finally learned my lesson. When I find that I like an app, that it does everything I want, the first thing I do is turn auto updates off. It can stay frozen in time forever, just working normally.

    Understand where the thought comes from, but do you know what zero days are

    No one is going to waste a zero day on a random guy using Nova launcher. Zero days are used against governments & other militaries.

    Yeah sure, the os gets regular updates, banking apps get updates.

    But when it comes to digital devices, convenience and security are in a constant tug of war, ultimately we have to make a choice. And when I make that choice I remember that this isn't a company phone, there's no customer data at risk, no important info to be breached. And still the number of times I've been hacked: 0
