Man, I just wanna be able to set my own icons for folders, and for them to have the same functionality. Haven’t run across one that works close enough to satisfy my day to day preferences in that regard.

See, the real killer feature of nova in that regard is turning a folder (or any icon really) into multi function switch with swipe directions. Most of the launchers out there, even if they offer similar functionality, you’re stuck with whatever folders look like, which is usually just a stack of icons in various orders. And fuck me for Canyon wanting my shit to be pretty as well as smooth and functional.

There’s a few that do “covers”, which is nice for what it is, but afaik (and I semi regularly retry launchers) they locks your options for using the folder to a single tap and single swipe, with one opening the folder and the other opening the first app in the folder. With Nova, I can even select an app that isn’t in the folder to be opened with a swipe.

Hyperion gets closest of the ones I’ve test driven, and it’s likely what I’ll end up using once I can no longer use the older apk of nova from before it was sold. Assuming it lasts long enough lol
