Since a few folks seem unaware of this, I'm posting anew for visibility.

I switched to Kvaesitso (https://github.com/MM2-0/Kvaesitso) and Lawnchair (https://lawnchair.app/downloads/).

Not quite the same customization, but worth it. Kvaesitso is my primary and I love it.

Neo Launcher seems to have either tabs or folders, not both (you have to choose one). Seems fairly close to what I want overall, still missing a few features

Kvaesito with its tags is really interesting but that's not how I use launchers. If it had also supported modifying the default app list with tags as alternative views then it would've been great for me. And it would also need better tools for managing tags (bulk adding apps, navigating tags)

Lawnchair doesn't let me customize folders within the app list

I second Kvaesitso, never used another launcher again

Awesome.. I just installed kvaesitso after (...about 10?) years of being a paid Nova Premium user. I uninstalled Nova and so far so good. Thanks!

To keep it updated I recommend Obtainium ( https://github.com/ImranR98/Obtainium) if you don't want to use fdroid.

Thanks! I grabbed it on fdroid, which gets updates, right? It looked like the most recent was 2 months ago, when I installed it.

I see fdroid update (1.1.4) from 4 days ago and github (1.1.6) yesterday.

We're talking about Kvaesitso, right? I see 1.29.1 from Feb 21, whether I check it on fdroid or github.
