I’ve been using Smart Launcher for however long since Nova sold out, 3 years?
I just checked and mine is set to 7 columns, 17 rows. Might be worth a look? https://www.smartlauncher.net/
It only goes up to 12 rows, but rechecking Nova I see that it also only goes up to 12 rows. I miscounted my home screen.
The other feature I used to smash a lot into a single home screen is the swipe up and swipe down gesture on each icon to get two other closely related apps. I haven’t verified if Hyperion has this yet.
This might be better for me in some ways. But what I have now is different. Tapping gets me one app, swiping up gets me a second, and swiping down gets me a third.
With Nova, I set the grid to 13 rows and left off the labels.
Based on recommendations for a Nova replacement, I tried Lawnchair. But it only goes up to 10 rows, leaving space for labels even when labels are off.
Can anyone point me to a launcher that allows 13 rows?
Currently on Lawnchair 15 beta and you can do up to 20 columns and rows. But it needs to be enabled under experimental features.
I discovered I don’t need the beta for that, just the experimental features I didn’t know were there.
Thanks. I’ll try.

Have you tried Hyperion launcher? It’s what I gravitated to after Nova.
Yes, thanks. I’ve been experimenting with Hyperion.
I feel obliged to report on which one I settle on, but I haven’t quite gotten there yet.
Just tried now, thanks.

It does! It’s my favorite feature. I put all my games under one app and swiping up or down on the main icon and it brings up a folder.
This might be better for me in some ways. But what I have now is different. Tapping gets me one app, swiping up gets me a second, and swiping down gets me a third.
Just downloaded Hyperion and trying to add gestures to apps but cannot see where.
Am I missing something obvious?
You have to create the folder first then bottom right is settings for that folder when open.
Ah ok. It can’t do what I’m after then. I use Nova do that tap signal opens a specific contact chat and swiping opens it normally.
Can’t find another laincher that can do that
Oh gotcha. Yeah I’m not sure then. Good luck!
