I've been using lawnchair (which is a great substitute) ever since the news of the buyout from an ad company was announced, but that was a long time ago... Not sure why this is coming up now.

Anyway, a few days back I found out a new launcher and I want to spread the love for it. It requires more effort to configure it at first but I'm really liking its UX and the simplicity of the screen. It is called dragon launcher and I am having a nice time making small incremental changes to personalize it more and more and has been working great for me: https://f-droid.org/packages/org.elnix.dragonlauncher

I also went from Nova Launcher to Lawnchair and it's been great. I'll check out Dragon some time but I'm glad I found a suitable replacement for Nova.

I just switched to Lawnchair recently, and I really like it. I'll definitely give Dragon a look.
