Nova launcher is getting more and more incompatible with my Google Pixel 8 and my Google Pixel 6. The Google search bar on the home screen was the reason I started using a third party launcher. have they fixed that yet?
have they fixed that yet?
They likely never will, because as far as Google is concerned that’s a feature instead of a bug. You’re at their mercy as long as you’re using their launcher. Personally, I switched to Niagara Launcher for this exact reason.
You could switch to Graphene OS, no search bar.
Obligatory note on Nova being bought over a while ago by a data mining company. Apologies if you already knew that OP.
Just install GrapheneOS
Yes, just. It takes around 10-15 minutes and zero technical knowledge. As long as you can plug something into a USB port, read a website, and click a couple of buttons on the website, you can install Graphene OS.
FYI, what you consider “zero technical knowledge” is actually quite a lot of technical know-how for the average person. Think about the stereotype of technical support people explaining how to find the power button, then extrapolate from there.
I recommend discrete launcher from fdroid
