PSA: Nova Launcher is owned by an analytics company
Hopefully, this isn’t the end of an era for Android launchers
Since a few folks seem unaware of this, I'm posting anew for visibility.
You're viewing a single thread.
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
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
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.
