I was hoping for something open source so I wouldn't have to deal with it becoming crapified at some point down the line. While Octopi currently doesn't contain trackers, it IS dependent upon Google Play Services which is a bit of a turn off.
However, I gave it a try & was having the most bizarre behavior trying to place widgets exactly. While they'd start out where I dropped them, upon resizing & trying to fine-tune placement I repeatedly wound up with the widget partially off the right edge of the screen & unable to move it back - each additional attempt would move it further off the edge.
Maybe I'll try again once I've got Graphine installed & running, but no go for now. Thanks for the suggestion nonetheless.
Yes, it has some rough edges. I remember a few months back icons would be different sizes depending on how you added them to the home screen, but that's been fixed.
I agree that I'd rather it be open source, but I haven't found one that can handle folders within app icons like Nova, and this is the closest one. The price is reasonable and the updates are regular, so I'll stay here for a while. It definitely has promise.
