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

OneUI honestly isn’t that bad. Not as good as Nova, but it’s fine - especially when using the Goodlock customizations.
On a related note, is there any way to change all my apps on the play store to not auto update? I assume I have to do this one by one, because why would they make it that easy…

Agreed - we’re a LONG way past Touchwiz nightmare fuel at this point. Other than the Samsung branded bloat, it’s pretty close to stock android these days. The home screen has tons of customization features, and Goodlock adds even more. I stopped using Nova because of a LONG time Android bug with 3rd party launchers where apps would just show a blank screen or otherwise wouldn’t launch when opened immediately after going home. I found Pixel launcher to be passable (but I heavily preferred Nova), and found that Samsung’s launcher might have actually been better when I switched phones later.
I jumped on a Google issue tracker thread in 2023 that still sends me emails because it gets a flood of people all these years later still reporting the issue is not resolved.
Now I’m on a Fold 7 anyways, and Samsung handles your home screen while folding and unfolding pretty well, I don’t expect that Nova does.
