If you swipe left you get to Google News. Is it possible to replace this feed with another app? Maybe an independent news service?

    If you can turn off swipe left to Google news, get a RSS feed reader, put a full screen widget on page one and all your apps on page 2. Make page 2 your default for home.

    I’m unsure whether a drop-in replacement exists. I use Lawnchair. It doesn’t have the newsfeed when swiping left, but if you’re okay with changing your flow a bit it could be good (enough) for you. You could create something with widgets (or maybe plugins) that replicate what you currently have.

      Thats so dad. Lawnchair was my goto launcher for so many years. I had no choice but to revert to Nova

        Oh, no. Lawnchair has been back for a while now, they are rebuilding it from the ground up and deliver updates through their Telegram channel, though it still lacks a lot of the old features. LibreChair was a fork of the old LawnChair that aimed to replace the google centric features.
