I've used Nova for ages, however I've recently been trying Evie and it's quite nice. No bloat and nice functionality.
"Nova"
"Nova"
"Nova"
I'm pretty sure OP is aware of Nova since they specifically excluded it. WTF is wrong with you people?
Lawnchair Launcher is excellent. Microsoft Launcher is excellent.
OTHER THAN NOVA! Geesh.I had Nova, went to Action and have'nt looked back.
So why didn't you like Nova? I'm using Evie now since a user mentioned it and I like it. Will try action
Read my full post. Use of any other launcher is just plain dumb.

You were a minor league douche in your first response. You brought your A game for this one. Bravo.
Stupid people always fall back on name calling. The stupid can't help being stupid...
There are literally 100s of launchers that have their pros and cons. Most are just built off of stock launcher, and add in whatever "features" they want. The best and most consistent for years now is Nova. There isn't any reason to use any other, except to see what useless gimmick has been added to other launchers.

Hmmmm, I'll take your opinion of stupid over hypocrite.
Sure you can say you didn't call anybody names DIRECTLY. You did it in a douchy, passive aggressive, catch-all kind of way.

Haven't had 1 crash yet using latest Nova beta on Android 9. In fact I have never had a single crash ever in over 10 years using Nova. Unfortunately no info is given, so there isn't any way of anyone helping or even knowing what the issue is.Can't get nova to work in 9, crashes

So why do you guys prefer Lawnchair, Evie or Action over Nova ?? Don't recall anyone telling why apart from "I like it".
Personally I own Nova and that's actually the only one I've tried but I wouldn't mind giving a try to another launcher if there is a good reason for.

There's none whatsoever besides the fact that you get tired of using Nova. Other than that nova wins
