My phone upgraded and I can't handle the interface change cos I HATE CHANGE. It's bad for typical but really bad for me.

Anyone want to share theirs?

Just in case you want advice, I've found that using a custom launcher app solves that problem for me. I spend an hour setting up the interface exactly how I like it, then never change it again. When I get a new phone, I load the launcher settings from the last phone into the new one, and everything looks and feels exactly like I had it before.

    I've been considering doing that. Which one are you using?

    Have you tried using kvaesito? I have the same gripe as you about minimal launchers and I find kvaesito very aesthetically pleasing. Although, I don't think I've looked through their privacy policy

    Correct me if I'm misunderstanding something, but I think you can still control Nova's permissions through your phone's App Permissions manager just like any other app. I didn't allow Nova any permissions even before they were acquired, and I certainly don't now. Does that help with your very valid privacy concerns?

    I resonate with your sentiment against minimal launchers and in favor of FOSS apps. I've tried a few and haven't found any I like.
