So I just got a Moto Razr and am going to start setting it up. I’ve been outside of the android ecosystem for a long time. Can I get some recommendations for anything and everything? I recently read the Nova launcher has gotten much worse since I last used it. I’m also not sure if I should do a launcher or just use the base OS. I know that there are loads of articles out there, but I’m getting really tired of wading through AI gen articles and would love your personal experience.
Thanks in advance!
Octopi launcher is what I switched to recently. Tried a lot and it’s the only one that felt really ok to fully replace Nova. For now there is the home grid that need to be a little bit of work. Nothing major, juste better shortcuts positions. Dev is active and said it was in progress.
I am watching Einstein Launcher hoping it could be ok, and waiting for lawnchair to implement (if they either do) swiping up on shortcuts and folders.
I’m giving Octopi a shot. It seems to offer most of what I like from Nova. It’s a bit quirky though particularly with placing widgets and editing them.
Any pro-tips you’ve learned you can share with the launcher?
