Nova Launcher

Nova Launcher is a powerful, customizable and versatile home screen replacement. Nova brings advanced features to enhance your home screen, but remains a great, user-friendly choice for everyone. Whether you want to completely revamp your home screen or are looking for a cleaner, faster home launcher, Nova is your answer. One of the features that stands out and makes a difference in Nova Launcher is its outstanding graphic quality. Even the simple action of sliding your finger to switch desktops shows an elaborate transition in three dimensions.

Features:

Custom icons: Nova supports thousands of icon themes available in the Play Store. Plus, reshape all icons to a shape of your choice for a uniform and consistent look.

An extensive color system: Use Material You colors from your system, or choose your own colors for a personalised feel that's unique to you.

Custom light and dark themes: Sync dark mode with your system, the sunrise and sunset, or keep it on permanently. The choice is yours.

A powerful search system: Nova allows you to search for content in your apps, your contacts, and other services with integrations for your favorite platforms. Additionally, get instant Micro Results for calculations, unit conversions, package tracking, and more.

Customizable home screen, app drawer, and folders: Icon size, label colors, vertical or horizontal scroll and search bar positioning just scratch the surface of customization for your home screen setup. The app drawer also adds innovative customizable cards to give you the information you need, right when you need it.

Subgrid positioning: With the ability to snap icons and widgets in between grid cells, it’s easy to get a precise feel and layout with Nova in a way that’s impossible with most other launchers.

Backup and restore: Moving from phone to phone or trying new home screen setups is a snap thanks to Nova’s backup and restore feature. Backups can be stored locally or saved to the cloud for easy transfers.
