I really like Nova Launcher which allows you to configure and customise Android to your heart's content, allowing you to make your device truly your own. Though I'd like to have a bit more assistance with organising installed apps. Maybe some AI. My first and only launcher. However, I am considering if I can continue with this as it was acquired by an analytics company and a lot of staff have been let go.
Nova launcher was good but its been since brought out by a shady analytics company Branch

I love Nova Launcher, honestly. It was my first launcher and is still in my arsenal, the customization alone is worth 4 stars . It's only 4 stars though because there is 1 thing that just... Makes my eye twitch when think about. App Management... Yes it has custom folder and tabs which is excellent, but as far as I'm aware, it's all manual management. Now, if your one that is on top of that kinda thing, your good. Get this launcher you'll love it. But if your like me where once a week I go on an app bender of things I want to try, then life happens and next thing I know I have 190 apps out floating freely and unorganized. I'm absolutely not manually one by one placing those apps... No. So I switched to a launcher that had auto app organizing, and lemme tell you.. It's top priority important to me. If they get an A.I. organizer or bare minimum, a really easy bulk app management system... I would certainly give it a shot and 5 stars!
Acquired by analytics company Branch in 2022.
Highly customizable and feature rich. It would be better if it was completely free though. Some features are locked behind a paywall. Unfortunately the software is also now owned by a data analytics company called "Branch".

Fast, feature rich, backup/restore functionality, and sticks to Android development standards.
