ezlover I use Nova Prime (sans Network Permission, ofc) in my main user profile with no issues. Nothing comes even close to the robust options and customization available with this launcher. But I understand that a proprietary, closed-source app such as this will not be well-received (and rightfully so) by most here...network block, notwithstanding. I just can't quit those features, myself. (FWIW, I puchased N Prime 10yrs ago and sideload it in GOS.)
I've no issue buying software to support the dev's efforts. But there's the thing with trust, and apps being bought by companies that just want to make the most possible bucks $$$ without any respect. And 2nd, I do not want G involved (anymore) in stuff I buy. So probably 99% of any paid app isn't an option to me anymore.
ezlover However, on secondary profiles, I can only use the stock one because the App Switcher key/button fails with 100% of all other launchers. Nova, Lawnchair, Rooted Pixel Launcher...all of them. I've seen this issue mentioned before but no solutions.
That's not a non-owner issue only. I've been testing several 3rd party launchers the last days and I have the problem that app recents lag 10 to 20 seconds. I doesn't happen everytime I open recent apps, but quite a lot, too much. Today I found that swiping up from the bottom, sometimes several times, is the only way to interrupt that recents freeze. No other user input seems to processed.
I've no clue what and were's the root cause, but to me it's a total show stopper. 20 seconds of freeze is an absolute no-go.
ezlover If only the stock launcher at least supported icon packs
If it at least would support more than 5 rows of apps icons. P8P has got a big screen, 5 rows is a waste of space.
No clue what an effort it would be to fork AOSP Launcher3 and change some (hardcoded) column X row numbers....?
I'm so badly frustrated atm, new phone, but spending days on evaluating launchers... d'oh!
