Oof thanks for the recommend. I will have to keep that one in the back pocket for a rainy day I think. Looks like quite a steep learning curve!
OK I’m using it to type this. Seems quite good! Thanks for the rec
I’ll give it a go, thanks!
I still miss Swype; I’m not aware of any other board that allows gesture cut copy and paste in quite the same way. Also the capitalisation was really easy. I’m using openboard now and it’s fine but lacking that premium feature set

I went back to action launcher which I really like.
I basically have one home screen with links to my most used stuff.
It has covers which I believe originated here but was later possible on Nova. Basically you make folders of apps that you can tap to open, but you can set that to swipe instead so that the tap just opens the first app in the folder
So for example I listen to podcasts way more often than music from my phone, so I have a folder for audio where I can tap to open podcasts or swipe to open the folder and get to music.
I then have a slide in drawer that has the weather and my calendar and that’s basically it. Very rarely need to go to the main app list once this is set up. I will likely never change this as I don’t really use that many apps regularly.
Quite a big change for a small feature
I’m using action launcher and I really like the search. It searches apps but then has quick links too, so you can send the search query to a search engine, Google play or others
Oh cool! Spoon and Trail of Dead are two of my favourite bands, must make it there one day
Would make a great phone wallpaper! What venue is this?
I was looking at the Nothing Bluetooth earbuds but the unnecessary AI feature put me off them
Switched back to action launcher when this happened
Main feature I love, which to my knowledge action did first anyway, is to have a folder of app icons where one is the most frequent. You tap on it to open the frequent option or swipe it to open the folder.
Basically means you almost never need the app deserter l drawer
Same + AFAIK Nova nicked all the good stuff from action anyway
It’s great! Specifically, the feature I’m thinking of was the swipe on an icon functionality (not sure if that’s what OP means). I have my most used apps set to the tap, and then the lesser used ones in the swipe action, and I love it
I like CandyCons!
It carried on working for years and years without updates but finally died recently. I miss gestural copy and paste for sure
I tried it with open board and had the same issue I’m never going back to non swiping but I miss swype everyday
My 6a is fully a downgrade from my 3a which broke and I lament its passing every time I use the in screen fingerprint reader
It’s bigger, heavier, the battery is worse :(
Let’s see YOUR home screen setup!
