RULES

While this is s community focused on Android, some of us have devices from the Android, Apple, Windows and Linux worlds, etc. We may prefer Android, but overzealous and obsessive adherence to Android as some sort of infallible platform won't be tolerated long here.

That said, being critical of brands is fine. Android is frustrating in some ways, just like iOS and so forth. Let's be upfront about that.

Be thoughtful and helpful, even with 'stupid' questions. Otherwise, as ya mama said, say nothing at all. The world won't be made better or worse by snarky dudes schooling naive newcomers on Lemmy.

I like the variety of hardware available, and the customization available in the software, especially with third party launchers.

I recently started using Niagra Launcher, love the minimal design it has.

I have been using Nova for several years now. I keep it fairly minimal but I like how many options it has.

I used Nova for many years as well, but I switched to Niagara launcher when Nova was acquired by an analytics company.

Nova was acquired by an analytics company

Ugh. Of course they were.

Curious if Niagra affects phone performance? I love the look of it, but my Pixel 3 is aging.

I haven't noticed performance issues or any battery drain on my S22 Ultra
