Been using Nova Launcher on and off for years now. It’s basically an app that lets you completely redo your phone’s home screen – like the apps, widgets, everything. If you’re tired of how your phone looks out of the box, this is pretty much the go-to solution. I keep coming back to it whenever I get bored with my current setup.
Here’s what you can do with it: you can change icon packs (there’s thousands in the Play Store), resize widgets however you want, add custom gestures like double-tap to lock your phone, and even change the app drawer style. The Material You color matching is pretty slick too – it automatically picks up colors from your wallpaper. Took me a while to figure out all the settings but once you get the hang of it, it’s like having a whole new phone.
Look, if you’re someone who likes tweaking every little detail on your phone, you’ll love this. It’s not for everyone though – my wife tried it and got overwhelmed in like five minutes. But if you’ve ever thought ‘I wish my phone worked/looked different,’ it’s definitely worth the download. The free version does most of what you’d want anyway.
