Nova Launcher (Bad News) [emoji22]

[BerryBubbles]

My first Samsung phone was the S8. Coming from several LG phones, I spent two years with the S8 running Nova. I didn't try Samsung's launcher (the Samsung Experience it was called I believe) until my last week with that phone. I was delighted to find that I actually loved it.

The s8 was a nice phone.

Samsung has come a long way from its TouchWiz days.

I have read positive things about Lawnchair. Sometimes a little change is fun!

I'll see if I can go find the post again, because I first heard about it here. I can't remember exactly what the change was, but I'm on version 7 and it was the version after (I think) that had a substantial change I didn't like.

Yeah, I'm on 8.1.1 now, and came from 7, and 6 before that. I didn't notice anything, unless it's a feature I don't use.

What initially turned me off was the update to Material theme, but the Play store reviews were mentioning it being bug filled after that update.

Ah, yes. I posted in there too. I guess whatever they did to mess with the Material You Theming was something that I just didn't encounter.

I've been using the stock launchers for a bit now, I think the only phone that I kept Nova was on my previous Pixel. My other launchers were Smart and AIO
