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?

Nova is now owned by an analytics company. You can probably guess why.

Today I'd only trust open source launchers. The default Trebuchet is fine. Lawnchair is alright too.

Do we know they are monitoring our usage of the launcher?

You can switch off data collection in the Nova settings.

where can I find that setting?

Long press on your home screen to bring up the settings gear icon, select it to open Nova settings, now scroll all the way down until you see Advanced, tap it to see further options, now disable Error & usage.

AFWall+ to block internet connection to that among other apps is wonderful.

Fuck. I've been using it for years. Thanks for the heads up, I guess.
