I am currently using Nova with internet access blocked. There is one feature no other launcher I have ever used has that Nova does: swiping on an icon on the homescreen up or down allows to launch a different app or activity.
I want to find an open source replacement but no matter what launcher I find, they all lack this feature.
I just went launcher shopping recently - Total Launcher lets you assign different swipe shortcuts for four directions and a few other options IIRC. It’s very customisable so I’m giving it a go in parallel with my normal default of Kvaesitso.
Took me a while the get the place to long-hold just right, but if you do it on the edge of one of those app drawer/dock widgets it should pop up the top settings bar, there you hit the cog and there should be slides for row and column count.

I’ll give this launcher a shot. It’s UI and setup is clunky comparatively to Nova. But I will play around with it more yet!
Yeah definitely not as polished from a setup POV, that threw me too
I’ve been playing with it. And I can’t say I love it like I love Nova.
It sure seems customizable, but the UI and wording about options could be better.
I can’t seem to make my taskbar/dock have more than 4 icons.

Perfect! Thank you!
