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?

Lawn chair, because it's unopinionated and stays out of the way, mostly

Version 14 beta 2, or nightly is where it's at. I also switched from Nova to Lawnchair about 3 months ago. Man it's been nice.

where's the setting to remove the Google search bar?

Long press on your home screen in a blank spot: Home settings > Dock > Search bar widget.

well I just spent 8 minutes trying to figure out how to get in contact with their customer service and it's already a pain in the ass.

I'd think that they don't have a customer service? It's just an open source passion project amongst a handful of developers.

If you encounter an error/bug/problem, best thing to do is look into their issues section on their GitHub. Search if anyone else has the same problem, and weigh in using the comments, or submit a new issue. Help give them info to fix/debug.

they have support. they have a Twitter account, but you can't message them unless you have premium, and a Discord server where you can't message without verifying a phone number and they don't accept VoIP. github confuses me and every time I use it people tell me I'm using it wrong

if it's this difficult to get in touch, I think I'll just avoid it
