Comment on Nova Launcher unashamedly inserts malware ads into your home screen now.

  Sure, but what are those? Maybe I’m the issue, but the website seems to be made for people who are already intimately familiar with the possibilities of a custom launcher, because they’re hardly listed anywhere, there’s no list of features or anything.

  Well, there is one list, but it’s

  1. "Pixel design, but more customizable somehow" How? Dunno, isn’t explained
  2. "The latest android features" which is cool but also something I have on my stock launcher
  3. "QuickSwitch support" which is not explained (some research makes me believe it’s API access to the default launcher that’s needed to show recent applications, which is also a feature my native launcher has) and needs root according to the FAQ. So can I not access my recent applications if my phone isn’t rooted?

  And the wiki is just from the dev side, which is interesting, but doesn’t provide the proper info. I’m sure it’s cool if so many people here like it, but the website’s doing a poor job at showing that off.

    You can change the icon pack, font, grid size, colours, etc all to your preference.

    I would suggest simply installing it so see if you like it, or remove it if you don’t. Customization is not something easy to describe without listing menu items
