    I’m still on Nova because it just works so right for me, many others I tried didn’t.

    My needs are very basic

    • A home screen I can place icons in specific positions (eg not forced auto sort)
    • folders (drag multiple icons on top of each other to create a group/folder)
    • Message count on icons, e.g my Whatsapp icon should show a little number indicating amount of new messages
    • and finally, an app drawer showing all apps in a single list (without any fancy grouping)

    Maybe this is normal now but years ago Nova seemed to be the only one that offered all these basic features together
