Hi everyone, especially those of you who have tried launchers I've never tried..

Like a lot of people I dropped Nova a while back, following the beginning of the inevitable decline, which seems to be continuing as expected.

I'm back on a stock launcher for now, and it's been fine but it lacks things.. I miss the good days of Nova and being able to tweak everything!

The problem I've had with launchers I've tried is that they either don't offer folders for the app draw, or if they do they don't work right.

For example, lawn-chair would have an icon in and an icon out of the folder every time an app updated. 🤔

Also, I have a work profile on my device, courtesy of Shelter. Launchers seem to struggle with this, muddling up apps or missing them entirely sometimes.

Can anyone suggest a launcher which can handle folders well, and a work profile without issues?

Thanks! T

You worried about the coming of the adverts?
