    This looks insanely clean. I never considered switching away from the default OnePlus launcher (other than using Nova, but it doesn't work well with gesture navigation), because I saw it as an integral part of the smartphone experience to have app pages and a regulare app drawer. Now I realize that a launcher is nothing more than the gateway to the *actual* smartphone experience: the apps. I really want to give this a go and see how it affects my smartphone usage and how I think of smartphones in general.

      Mainly because GSIs suck, I guess. If u have the option to use a ROM specifically built for ur phone, always do so. I don't disagree with the custom ROM thing completely, I just think they should make it open source so that people can built and optimize it for their own devices, if they decide to make it a ROM.

      I wouldn't advise it. This thing barely qualifies for Alfa state. For someone with an iPhone, anything with Nova Launcher it's more customization that you can handle. I suggest to get a one plus, and keep it stock or slap nova on it. That should do the trick untill you become familiar with tweaking.
      I don't consider myself an avg Android user, but not a power user either. Just to reset my phone, it takes me sometimes half a day, to place everything exactly as it was, tie everything, reshape everything back again, reconfigure the permissions and conditions back to where they were etc.etc., and that's with making some use of system copies, otherwise it would take me days.

      Yeah in a way, but with software I'm not sure I'd always agree. You want them to update the app with new app support, bug fixes ect. A subscription model is a great way to motivate them to keep developing the app. The only problem is that subscription models are often way more expensive over the course of several years. If instead they just make it no more a few euros a year, then I'd be alright with that.
