so I finally got the motivation to install lineage os to my phone after thinking about it like year. and now that I finally modified this phone I started thinking about ricing this phone a bit. I’m looking for a launcher that isn’t too minimalistic and with a decent amount of customization. kinda like kde bit you know… stable. any suggestions?

Despite this community’s paranoia, I still use Nova. Can’t find anything that works as well yet.

Disclaimer that I bought the pro version for 99 cents way way back, so I’ve gotten my mileage out of that.

Also if you don’t mind Microsoft, the MS launcher isn’t too bad too. I’m using that on the work phone.

I must block all network access to Nova.

I would to this with any launcher, it doesn’t need internet access

Yeah, I use AFWall+ and restrict granularly beyond just launcher.

I do the same with the built-in GrapheneOS network permission toggle

If I had AdAway (root mode, not VPN mode) I would switch back to GrapheneOS

I just use NextDNS with Android’s Private DNS feature for DNS filtering, works pretty well.

I’m afraid that won’t quite work for me due to needing my VPN on, and set for split tunneling.

Private DNS (DoT) shouldn’t interfere with your VPN. It actually overrides the default DNS resolver set by the system or a VPN app.

Still on Nova too. Haven’t had any issues. It’s internet access is blocked.
