    I downloaded the APK for the last non-enshittified version of Nova, maybe I'll stick with that for the time being?

    what is the last apk version before the sale of the company?

    colors/transparency - I can't get Lawnchair just right. Secondly, I miss being able to back up and restore configurations with Nova.

    Word, the farthest I get with theming is adding this one active background that I like from an older version of Android. It's the one that looks like underwater bubbles. I change devices too often to do any more than that :).

    Hm, I like the idea of backing up and restoring configurations, but I'm not sure I would "trust" it at such a high level. I would expect launcher settings to be intertwined with system settings. This means different settings for different versions of Android. I'm skeptical that the backup/restore option for stuff like that would take into account version #s well enough to not goober something up, possibly in the background where I'd never see it. Could just be OCD, but I'd rather go through all the settings myself.

    Now, with individual applications, like NewPipe for example, or NetGuard, backup/restore options are awesome.
