Androids work out of the box too. The point is if you don’t like the way it works you can find alternatives. If you like stock iPhone that’s fine but I find it claustrophobic.
You’re talking to a bunch of geeks. There’s nothing wrong with the default pixel launcher. I used it for years. Most of these people have a butt ugly home screen and all kinds of ridiculous customizations that no one else has time for.
Ah yes a simple app drawer with A-Z scroll bar = NEEERRRRDDDDDD
I have the most plain home screen with dock icons and a wallpaper, and Nova Gestures to open my common apps one handed. Not a custom ROM/Xposed/TWRP/Magisk nerd since years now, live a very normal life. Do you Apple shills have a life, or is it just about consoomerism?
Hm, right now I’m on the latest and didn’t notice much. Guess I’m not a power Nova user. I really only need the shortcuts when swiping up/down on icons. I’d switch if another launcher had that. I don’t have a firewall set up either. Guess I should look into that?
Not sure, I have a Pixel and use the stock everything
Glad I’m on iPhone where I don’t have to worry about “launchers” and everything works out of the box.

Ignorance. The mark of a true apple cult follower.

I cannot refute any of this.

Happy because no choice. Android works pretty well with default one but lauchers helps to overthrow what oem gives
Well… There’s yer problem
Ugh, I would not even use Android if I could not root…
Try Nova launcher

That’s my favorite too but every since they were sold* I’m hesitant to recommend them. I’m too accustomed to swiping up/down on icons for shortcuts.
Nova was not sold till 7.0.23 beta and was good till 6.2.13 stable.
So you just run the older version?
Yes, with internet disabled in firewall.
Smart, so you run 6.2.13?
That is the last stable version before Nova did that codebase rewriting, which killed a lot of its features. No other launcher suits me at all.
