My 1st relapse. For some reason One UI 5 is freezing and crashing on me. Nova seems to be operating fine at the moment and since I cant track down what the One UI issue is I'm back on Nova until I can resolve the issue. Clearing the cash hasn't netted anything and I think I may be at the point that a factory reset is in order. I'll try clearing the data as well to see if that helps although a reset with the new OS is not a bad idea in general. I will say that in most areas it exceeded my expectations. But that app drawer is hideous!

Are you using any different widget or icon pack in One UI?

That's what I like about Nova,I could take it from phone to phone and not have to change things, have the same set up regardless of phone you have. Another great feature, you can back up your Nova settings and restore them on new phone, an amazing time saver.

Nova mastered gestures a long time ago, way before Google thought of it.

Stock has gotten a lot better over the years, that I agree with. If you are using stock make sure to check out good lock, that adds more options to the launcher plus others options. I'm on the fence about going back to Nova, I do like the task bar on stock, but is it enough??

I am using Goodlock with Nova.
Maybe not to it's full potential, but I don't know what I'm missing.

If I were to give the Samsung launcher a try, how would I restore my Nova layout on the Samsung launcher?
I'm guessing that's a no go.
I can't imagine how long it would take to set it up manually and I'd have to use screenshots or something.
