That's my favorite too but every since they were sold* I'm hesitant to recommend them. I'm too accustomed to swiping up/down on icons for shortcuts.

Nova was not sold till 7.0.23 beta and was good till 6.2.13 stable.

So you just run the older version?

[–] TheAnonymouseJoker@lemmy.ml 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Yes, with internet disabled in firewall.

That is the last stable version before Nova did that codebase rewriting, which killed a lot of its features. No other launcher suits me at all.

Hm, right now I'm on the latest and didn't notice much. Guess I'm not a power Nova user. I really only need the shortcuts when swiping up/down on icons. I'd switch if another launcher had that. I don't have a firewall set up either. Guess I should look into that?

Nova Gestures is what makes it so good. I have dialler, NewPipe, maps and JetAudio on my fingertips.

You can just go in app info, find network/mobile data section and turn off all for any app. It disables networking.
