"Do you still need to be allowed to decorate and modify your own home?"

Yes.

Yes.

My Nova Launcher-config has survived in one form or another for 8+ years on multiple phones, so yes?

Yes!

Yes.

If you want to do something crazy, like not have a search bar on your home screen, then yes.

Yep.

I recently got a Samsung device for work. I really gave the launcher a shot since I didn't want to tinker with it. But after 2 days I couldn't stand it anymore. So the answer to the post is yes!

unless you want android to turn into ios then yes

there's so much i can do in nova that i can't do in one ui or the pixel launcher

Yes

Yes.

I've been using Niagara launcher. This launcher is has been great for larger screens and I can use the phone one handed.

This is a gross violation of Betteridge's law of headlines.

Yup.

Yes.

Question makes no sense, it's a feature not a need. I have written a launcher for a specific usecase.

This a questiın that shouldn't be asked in the first place

Yes even though android gestures are not working correctly with them and it's best to revert to 3 buttons navigation.

Let me guess. All the features you love from third-party launchers, except anything resembling privacy.

Yes.

Yes they are still needed

Yes.

Yes absolutely. Nova forever but the version I used made split screen fail so I am back at the AOSP one which lacks in like everything.

• instant search (launch keyboard)
• searchbar always on bottom
• rename and hide apps
• search for contacts and more

Yes.

Question is what data do launchers gather ? ig everything under the screen

Default launchers need 'covers' functionality, where a folder is opened via swipe, and tapping just launched the first app in the folder without needing to open it. It's the main thing keeping me on custom launchers. That and icon packs.

I guess I'm the only one that's stopped using a third party launcher.. After getting an S23 and being on One UI 6 I'm finding I'm not hating the stock launcher anymore. I was using Nova forever.

I dislike my phone's stock launcher so I definitely need a third-party launcher.

I mean no, I don't need a third party launcher, but I really don't want to use the stock one.

Need? No. Need? Yes!

Ya. Cheaper androids come with annoying launchers, like no app drawer so all your apps are on your home screen.

Been using Action Launcher since it came out! My phone woukd be a completely different experience without it, and not for the better.

Try Niagara. Long live 3rd party launchers.

Yes and KISS
