    Ugh. I’ve been holding out until now.

    I’ve tried a ton of others but the only one I even half like is Lawnchair. The others are too restricted, too annoying or too creepy.

    Does anyone know how to replicate the custom groups/tabs of apps inside the app drawer?

    The app drawer and ability to choose my own search engine are what keeps me on it. I don’t want “smart” anything, just let me control it.

      Octopi Launcher. Until I found this I was ignoring all the red flags with Nova.

      Found this, ran away from Nova.

      Nova was so customizable. I used those same group, tab features a lot over the years. Categories like: Network, Games, PIM, Storage, Images, Comms, etc, can take a lot of clutter out of your main drawer, not to mention Nova let you customize the visuals to a extensive point.

      I remember using one called Apex around the days of early Nova and the two of them would swap who was in the lead and who was the better launcher. I haven’t found an open source launcher that gives me what I want.
