Imagine if it didn’t work on your device. Lawnchair apparently isn’t available on Android 12 without sideloading.

In the list of available apps I see “Neo Launcher Hyperion SciFi” (no plain “Neo Launcher”) and the first thing that I notice with that is the “contains ads” flag.

Nova, meanwhile, comes up consistently among searches for launchers, and up until when I stopped using it provided a good mix of functionality and customization (ad-free, and without sideloading). It’s disappointing to learn it’s run by a company that may be likely to harvest data
