I was using the Nova launcher forever, but it's been getting buggier and buggier and support just blames android. plus I understand there are privacy concerns about them these days

I switched to hyperion, and it works just fine except for one feature, and I can't get support to respond anywhere for any reason.

which launcher do you use, and why do you like it?

Nova Launcher got bought by a data mining company a couple years ago. I left and went to Total Launcher. It is a little weird at first the way it works, but it is now my full time launcher.

I like it for the over lapping widgets that can be sized down to the pixel. It also has a bunch of built in widgets like icon widgets and allowing widgets to stick in place across home pages.
