What's your favorite alternate launcher?

Reply in thread

I'm going to piggy back on this comment for all the people who don't want to do the research on Nova and their recent acquisition by Branch. You can opt in or out of usage statistics and all permissions in the app. The new mods on their discord have a FAQ that expresses this also. I have no way to prove otherwise but if all we have is their word then you should take all apps usages disclosures with a grain of salt.

Edit: funny enough I just installed and read the first few paragraphs of Niagra's privacy policy which says it collects and shares user analytics. To each their own I guess.

Small Android Phone

The Asus Zenfone 9 or 10 fits the majority of the spec list with a screen size of 5.92". It barely sits under 6" but it does. However the display size requirements of that website is a little confusing. First it says sub 6" then it says it must be 5.4" ish.

Interesting android launchers?

I like to switch it up to see what's out there pretty often though I've been using Nova since jellybean and before that it was ADW before development stopped for a while. However I like, Neo launcher (foss) for a trimmed down Nova like experience and Shade launcher also foss for a very simple yet pleasing to look at launcher. I find Kvaesito while a cool approach kind of buggy and not very smooth even on my OnePlus 11. Lunar launcher is also cool but not very customizable compared to Nova anyway. Really I just wish someone would bring Helix launcher to modern Android, probably mainly for nostalgia reasons.

~15k which seems steep but when over 70% of the bike is made in America, in small quantities, and largely by hand it isn't cheap to produce. It isn't for everyone and it isn't meant to be. Someday I hope we grow enough to start offering a "better" value by getting better deals on parts because of our purchasing power so it is a bit more accessible.

I had my first kid a few years ago and had a 1985 vw with an engine swap with individual carbs and an Audi that had water damage and it finally started rearing is head after 7 years of ownership. With those I had a 96 ZX6R but I needed a reliable vehicle that was kid friendly. So I sold the bike and scraped the Audi and "bought" one. I have two kids now and another on the way and it just isn't top priority. Plus I have the ability to borrow shop bikes on most occasions.

Help a nerd choose a new phone after 7 years

Are you in the US? If so what carrier are you using. I was looking at the POCO F5 before getting a great deal on a OP11. I would have still staved money going with the POCO but ultimately chose the OnePlus because no carrier would tell me if the POCO would work or not on their towers. Bands wise it said it would but the carriers said unsupported.

Anyway, I second this phone OP. It has great specs for the price. Having gone op5t > op7pro > OP11. The POCO was really tempting me besides the clarity on whether or not carriers would support it.

LF>800+ Lumen, small rechargeable light

Noctigon KR4.

Tail switch ✓ 800+ lumens ✓ USB rechargeable X

However you can get 18650s with USB-C ports for charging. Or just grab a couple of decent Molicel batteries and an Eastshine 2 bay charger and just swap batteries.

Worried about forgetting to swap batteries? The aux lights can function as a battery indicator. You can also click the button 3 times and it'll blink the battery voltage. So you should always know when to swap batteries.

There is a ton of led choices. You can also get 2 of one and 2 of another if that tickles your fancy. High cri or raw output. Warm or cool color temperature.

It's worth a look in my opinion.

Another recommendation is the Sofirn SC31 pro
