It was announced today that Nova Launcher has been acquired by Instabridge, a Swedish company that “builds products that help people get online.” The announcement starts off rather positive. It confirms that Nova is not shutting down and that Instabridge wants to, “keep Nova... #Android #Apps

Guess it’s time for a replacement. Any recommendations on a launcher that supports gestures on an icon Right now, when I swipe up, on my email icon, it opens Signal, swipe down, it opens SMS, and Email, when I just press it

Can’t seem to find any other launcher that does something similar

Smart Launcher has this. Except with smart Launcher it has swipe up/down/left/right for different apps so one icon can launch five apps

Honestly i would just be happy with the short press launch/swipe up open folder option, I like using folders that dont look like folders.
