Any replacements? I'm looking for a traditional launcher that let's me put apps and widgets on screens, let's me choose the grid size, and which let's me set a search bar that is not chrome.

The minamalist ones or the ones with everything in a list aren't what I need.

    I've been on Neo Launcher ever since Nova was sold. It's FOSS and has the features you're looking for but not nearly what Nova had. Been happy with it all this time.

    Unfortunately, it hasn't updated in nearly 3 years, which doesn't bode well for future Android release compatibility.

    Commits to the Github repository keep going but the developer doesn't seem to realize the importance of more regular but smaller in scope releases which attracts users and more users mean more contributors.
