First, I think you commented on the wrong post. Second, no.

Try out Niagara. It only takes about 5 minutes to set up. If you’re like me, you’ll think it’s too simplistic, you think you want all that nova launcher shit. But do yourself a favor and give it a try. Pick a background, pick an icon pack, select a few favorites and that’s all you need to try it out. After that if you want to really dig in there isn’t much (some of these things are pro features, I can’t remember which because I decided to get it so soon after trying it out), it’s like 45 minutes at the most to customize your clock, do the custom widget (multiple widgets can share space, you just swipe through), decide if you want music controls on the home screen, and set up pop-ups (like a folder but more, can be in your favorites or your app list), and hide apps from the list (either because they’re in a pop-up or you just never use it). And then…that’s it, there’s nothing else to do. I tried it out a while ago when the original developer for nova quit the company that bought nova. Did a quick setup, played around for 30 minutes and bought pro right away. I was very surprised at how much I liked a simplistic launcher. You’ve got nothing to lose but 30 minutes, check it out. Edited for clarity about the nova developer quitting.

You can turn it off. It tells you what might get funky if you do. I didn’t notice any problems so I’ve left it and all other analytics reporting stuff off.
