I'm looking for something as close to Nova Launcher as possible.

I did not check github, just the info on f-droid. I may try Lawnchair again.

I like the minimalist way of Olauncher, but I would like to see app icons on my home screen instead of just the names of the apps. In the few minutes of trying Olauncher I was not able to find a setting to switch to icons.

Now, I'm trying Kvaesitso. So far I like it. Again there are no icons on the home screen. There are no app names either. For some reason I like this better. I'm going to have to try and get used to swipping up to see my widgets and swipping down to get to the app drawer. This is reversed from what I'm used to.

I think there's a new f-droid entry for the current lawnchair rework. Not sure when it last got an update, but I think there are two lawnchair apps on f-droid, one being the old one, one being the new work in progress
