Hey, i don't know if this will even reach you, but your videos have been helping me optimize and customize my phone and they're also getting better with every video! Keep up the great work and stay safe!
Does both launcher work if you have or upgraded to android 12, will the Android 12 or 13 icons be the same in both launcher as color matching and changes
I have been using Nova from last 10 years and still discovered new things from your video (replacing search widget below icon on home screen). Amazing comparison. Keep it up.
I've been wanting a comparison of these two launchers (have had Nova for 6 yrs now) and you made my day with this video 🤗 thank you !! I purchased the charger and what an awesome gadget to have !!! Lollll always a great buy with a coupon added👍😁 thank you for your awesome videos !!!
For me after the updates that lawn chair has gotten, I’ve got to say that lawn chair is better for me that is since it provides features like hide apps for free while you need to have nova prime for it and same thing with notification badges and even double tap to sleep! I usually like minimal and simplistic types of setups so with nova I just feel like I can do much more but I don’t need to while lawn chair for me gives me everything that I need and nothing that I don’t.
@@stevgamer1 it's not because of Nova but because of Android. Android has declared to remove the gestures navigation support from all 3rd party launchers. 🤷🏻♂️😤
I just got a new phone. Thinking forward, I did what most say to do, and backed up everything. Nova made the jump without a hitch. It's the only launcher I've used, and it works for me.
Seeing videos like these remind me why I love android. The freedom to choose, customize and change whatever I want just make it so much more appealing to me
I've used Nova Prime since 2016 when I got my HTC One M9 which had a really bad stock launcher and was missing features. It's been pretty flawless for me all these years. I recently decided to give Lawnchair 2 a try. I gotta say I'm pretty impressed. I can make it do 99% of what I was doing with Nova. The stuff it misses for my use are REALLY minor. I can't set the notification count badges on app icons to appear in red like in Nova and I'm not finding some of the appearance options for folders in Lawnchair that I have in Nova. It's a really great launcher, though and very smooth. It seems to have gotten rid of this gesture bug I have with Nova on my OP8T when pulling down to open the notification shade. For that alone I'm gonna stick with LC for the time being!
Got nova prime back in 2011 for 50 cents and used it till 2023. I love what googles done, but lack of customization left me wanting more and lawnchair fills that void, namely hiding apps in the drawer. Both are great, just depends on your tastes
I have been using Nova since 2012. However, I am currently using Poco X3 Pro and gestures are not supported with Nova. So I stuck with the system launcher for now, but I miss the endless customizations of Nova. ♥
biggest issue is app closing animation is same in all devices. Like in samsung device there is no proper app closing animation it just fades in both launchers and recent apps also doesn't easily show up, takes more time. But I really love lawnchair only if they had fixed this.
And the S22 Ultra is a Great Phone too...Only been 3-4 months but I can tell, I loved the S21 too but the 22 is a step up if you have a S21 to trade in for your $800 discount you'll only pay right around $500 after tax. Well worth it IMO...!!!
We've reached at a point where all apps and smartphones are almost similar. I mean back in 2012- 2016 Era there were so incredible smartphones with unique apps along with whole new concepts. I wish those days will revive again!
Can you please make a pixel Android 12 customisation setup using Launcher 12 alpha5 and put a video tutorial ? Icon pack wallpapers etc which ones to use to get that maximum pixel like experience in other phones.
I like Nova because of App Drawer Folders (for sorting & organising), and being able to tap Home-Button to search apps (fast & efficiently getting to my wanted app). But I also like Lawnchair because it's like Pixel Launcher, and I have Root, I really like Lawnchair Recents.
9:57 Does all of this also work on MIUI devices since these are known for behaving kinda difficult with 3rd party launchers by removing gestures and stuff. And if so, how can I pull it off?
Let us know when Lawnchair 12 IS finalized...I have used it in the past, and enjoyed it, BUT I go back to NOVA most of the time, and the latest version is still great. I would like to retry Lawnchair, but want the final stable version. Enjoying your vids.
I have to say, while Nova doesn't have the system search on it (by defaut), it has integration with Sesame Search and Shortcuts so that it's more powerful search can be used straight from Nova Search
Actually it has much much more features than lawnchair new version. I don't see the hype for lawnchair unless you have root or you like the android 12 icons
@@rjf5022 Ruthless has all the things that i need.. Nova is overwhelming for me.. Which build or version of ruthless launcher is the most stable one according to you?
Thanks for video ang review, really good like ever. I think that the different settings of Lauwncher needed unroot phone...so...Nova for life! :):):) Regards and thanks for your amazing channel!
I've installed Lawnchair 12, it's an awsome launcher. I've experienced a weird phenomen. Although I press home button, the screen jumps back again, so eventually stays on. recent and back gesture works but the home does not. (Samsung Note 20 Ultra) I switched to buttons navigation bar, but in vain. Any idea what impairs to go home screen? No gesture support? I love your videos, thanx uh soo much 😄
I feel like lawncher 12 is getting better the latest alpha 3 released added the backup and restore option because the reason i need it is because sometimes at the lawncher 12 could reset by itself
All nova launcher have to do to be 💯 is to add wallpaper based theming. That's all. I don't know why they're so adamant about it. Just add wallpaper based theming. That's what makes me choose lawnchair over it cos it's annoying for me to start setting individual accent colors to app drawers background, folders, search bar etc...
Very nice comparison but I want to ask you about the wallpaper from where you are using wallpaper in your videos it is very nice could you tell the app name please
Wait a damn second. How did you make those Personal/Work categories in the app drawer in Lawnchair 12 Alpha 5? That's the one feature I'm waiting for them to add before I switch over, and I can't find it anywhere in the settings for the Alpha 5 build.
do niagra next, it is minimal but functional and overall the vibe is nice, ofc it doesnt offer the modularity of nova or lawnchair, btw which icon pack are u using?
@howtomen Thanks so much for this helpful video! I went with the nova launcher 7. I was hoping you could tell me what clock widget you have on the nova phone in this one? Can't find anything like that
What do you mean when you say they will have gesture support? Don't they already support gestures? Or do you mean they will fully implement the gestures and animations from the normal launcher?
Hi, thanks for the video. Quite helpful ! I have a Samsung device. Do the native Samsung features like Edge Panel and Swipe up for Samsung Pay still work if we apply Nova ? Thanks .. 😊
Been using lawnchair 12 on my Motorola and it's now in dev Getting more features. The only reason i'm not using nova 7 is because I ain't got no money for that key!
Nova launcher for the win. I have a Samsung phone, just checked the previous UI and compared it to Nova the other day, it was so ugly and horrible. The amount of things you can customize on Nova is uncountable and even the prime version is cheap as heck, 0.99 $. If you want to customize everything up to the colors and gestures, then you should definitely get this, it's worth it
Whether double tap to lock and under display finger print works with nova launcher prime for s22 ultra? Double tap to lock works with my oneplus 7t but finger print doesn't.

Any idea about the widgets at the same time stamp?
All the apps are paid :(

You can do that in IOS as well. You can even customise more things than Android. You just need the knowledge ;)
Awesome video!! Long time nova user here and I've been wanting an updated comparison! Thank you!! 😊
Andrew!! Glad you liked the video 😄 nova is super nice!
I'm sure once lawnchair 12 gets up to what they have in 2, it'll go back to being my go to
agreed
Did it, now?
Definitely prefer the Nova launcher 7. The Vera Icon Pack is awesome as well. A great video brother. Stay safe.

I Love Lawchair been using it for 6 months on my S21 Ultra and another 3 months on my S22 Ultra now.
Been using Nova for about 6 years - don't know if I could ever change

Xiaomi MIUI unfortunately restricted Gestures to System Launcher only, it kinda sucks...
Custom ROM is ur way
10:30 can the Google lens here recognize text and images like on pixel phones and allow u to copy them?
Been using Nova since beta combined with the Whicons theme pack, it makes for an amazing minimalism feel.

I bought Nova launcher on sale a few years back for 30 cents. And have both lawnchair and Nova installed. But I use Nova predominantly
Very informative video my guy
I was so waiting for you to upload this comparison video. Personally I'm fan of lawnchair 12 . I love your contents thank uh soo much 😄😊🥰
Another BIG advantage of Lawnchair: its FOSS (i.e Open Source) and great for people who wish to degoogle their devices
Whats the icon pack at 2:02 (LawnChair)
Cool btw whats ur icon pack
Is there any way to remove 3 button navigation in miui. It always needs that function. If gestures are activated launcher wont respond.
you answered my question about going back the app in the Home Screen that.. it follows the same home launcher😅😅😍😍
All nova launcher have to do to be 💯 is to add wallpaper based theming. That's all.
I don't know why they're so adamant about it.
Just add wallpaper based theming.
That's what makes me choose lawnchair over it cos it's annoying for me to start setting individual accent colors to app drawers background, folders, search bar etc...
What is the icon pack used at 9:23?
Pastelline icon pack
2:43 is there any toggle to enable this animations?
Lawnchair only if you have root for Animations or want monet icon theme.
Nova if you want total customization and 100s of features.
How did you get full gesture in nova launcher ?
Nova launcher the king of launchers, people would still argue that lawnchair is better
I love your wallpapers...where can I find them?
Very nice comparison but I want to ask you about the wallpaper from where you are using wallpaper in your videos it is very nice could you tell the app name please
What are the names of the widgets and icons for both launchers? Also great video as always !!!👍👍
from where can i get those wallpapers used in the setup?
Pastel wallpapers , wallfever, casual wallpaper
huge fan of ur videos

Used Nova Launcher in the past. I liked it but it didn't show how many notifications there were for apps. Microsoft Launcher did and I switched...
how do you change the app drawer scrolling in nova launcher by just flipping the phone.thanx
Where's the wallpaper from....? They're really good
Also...... what about the icons too....I really want to use the
I have used nova for a long time and love it I wouldn't be switching my launcher any time soon
Is there a launcher that supports independent home screens for Fold users? I can't seem to find one.
Give some love to Smart launcher + Icon pack studio. It's so underrated in playstore but it's the best launcher for theming in my opinion.
@howtomen Thanks so much for this helpful video! I went with the nova launcher 7. I was hoping you could tell me what clock widget you have on the nova phone in this one? Can't find anything like that
3:00 what phone is that?
It's always good to have alternativeas, in case you know, they stop developing or sold the app and the new owner ruins it (cheetah mobile).
Dude, it's not a competition. It's open source software, we all win.
Also open source outlive the maker. And can be preloaded as stock app legally for new phones.
What do you mean when you say they will have gesture support? Don't they already support gestures? Or do you mean they will fully implement the gestures and animations from the normal launcher?
Hey, Can I please get that scenery wallpaper with the boat displayed on the thumbnail?
I prefer Nova Launcher because I often default back to Android 7 icons without installing anything. That said: I wish they had font customization.
