I tried other Launchers mentioned like Niagara, MSFT, Octopii, Lawnchair. But, I want horizontal App Drawer and stability like NOVA. Nothing beats NOVA atm. that is shame

the problem is apps thats requires safetynet again. this is PITA https://community.e.foundation/t/list-banking-apps-on-e-os/33091/482 https://community.e.foundation/t/sorry-revolut-is-not-supported-on-devices-with-custom-firmware/63282/111

That is why chinese phones are winning. thanks to gbox/aurora store

The important matter is. Is your device listed by Google and preloaded with GMS. That is the main issue. as long as your device is not listed. you are good. That is why most Chinese phones are winning here https://storage.googleapis.com/play_public/supported_devices.html

if I were you I need to switch to Chinese phone that does not have GMS support like Huawei. (you can get the Whatsapp or banking apps later on via Gbox or Aurora Store)

5. I think for noobs it will be better they buy the Chinese phone such as Huawei that does not certified by Google and emulated it with gbox for GMS support. Then they still they got their favourite apps going even banking apps as well. https://storage.googleapis.com/play_public/supported_devices.html
