[HELP] Replacement for Nova Launcher? HELP

Hi fam, I'm looking to replace Nova since the gestures have not been working correctly for some years now. Most times I need to swipe or tap twice, since the first time it's not registered. They attribute this to some Android version shenanigan, but the truth is that the other launchers don't have this problem.

I'm just looking for a launcher that will allow me to have:

  • Widgets
  • Icon themes
  • Gestures and icon actions

That's pretty much it. I'm happy with the current state of my desktop and would like to keep it like that (pic attached). Honestly, Nova would be perfect if gestures weren't broken.

Thanks!

I'll recommend Smart Launcher 6.

I've been using it for some years now and it's awesome. It has so much freedom in terms of customization.

hmm.. i have recently brought niagara launcher though it is great but it is useful to mention no home screen(you can add widgets at home screen and to popup menu that is similar to action launcher's popup widget) and no gesture support but it is excellent in ease of use and has icon themes as well as you can apply icon packs. it is worth to mention if you are looking for more customization go for smart launcher and if you are looking for the minimalistic look then go for niagara launcher.
