    Lawnchair seems to do a good chunk of what Nova does. I haven’t taken the time to fully recreate my setup, but most things I’ve tried have worked so far.

    With Nova I have a setup that more or less fits everything on my home page without looking too busy. Lawnchair is letting me change the number of rows and columns, shrink icon size, choose a monochrome theme as a default, make folders, etc.

      Lawnchair doesn’t seem to allow gestures on icons/folders, so it’s a non-starter for me. I use swipe actions all the time to launch apps. Like, tap for SMS, swipe down for WhatsApp, swipe up for Signal; or tap to open a folder of utilities, swipe up for Root Explorer and down for KeePass. I want to be able to launch all of my frequently used apps with 1 action from my homescreen. If anything, I’d like a launcher that allows even more swipe actions (right & left).

      I just want a full app drawer and a single homescreen with shortcuts/folders that can be overloaded with swipe actions. IDGAF about widgets or search. If I need to type anything, I’m doing too much work to launch an app.
