With Nova Launcher rolling out ads on top of breaking the open source promise I'm in need of a new launch. Any recommendations out there? Preferably something that's available from F-Droid.
What drove me to Nova in the first place was drastic UX changes with every Android update. So the primary requirement is for it to never fuck with my muscle memory. Other than that:
- *Button* for opening the app drawer
- Widget support
- At least 2 app rows on home screen
- No, or removable search bars
@nCrazed seems like ads will only be in free version, remains 4 quid to purchase, so fine?
