I’ve tried a lot of the launchers I see talked about frequently- Nova, Niagra, Smart Launcher, Action Launcher, etc. but they all seem to not be worth the hassle of switching away from pixel launcher. Also none of them have the Google News feed that the pixel launcher has. I feel like I’m losing features when I switch. Perhaps I’m just stupid and am not utilizing the features these launchers actually bring to the table.

Can you tell me about your favorite launcher and it’s features that keep you hooked to it? Thanks.

    Mostly I use custom launchers because I don’t like the Google News feed and the general UI layout of the stock launcher. KISS launcher has been perfect for me.

      What’s wild to me is that back in the Google Now era, I was so excited to root so that I could install the extension for Nova to add Google Now.

      But these days, the Google “Discovery” feed is trash compared to what Google Now once was.
