Hopefully, this isn’t the end of an era for Android launchers

Since a few folks seem unaware of this, I’m posting anew for visibility.

    Is the Nova 7 apk that everyone references actually “safe” or is that just regurgitated rumor without source?

      The branch analytics got added in version 8 so 7 should be safe. I don’t think it was added in version 8.0 but a slightly later patch, but I avoid it nonetheless.

        Has someone capable actually opened the APK to confirm it’s “safe” though. Would love to see a post where someone breaks down for lay people, if it exists
