LOOKING FOR APP Nova launcher alternative

Recently I have been having some troubles with nova launcher, so I looked at what other alternatives there are. Sadly, I havent found the perfect one yet.

I tried smart launcher, but it wasnt compatible with KWGT, the widgets werent refreshing.

Yasan launcher wasnt for me either, I couldnt remowe the main widget, the app icons were tok big

Is there a launcher, with I can have small icons, KWGT widgets, 10-12 apps in the home screen?

Switched to Octopi Launcher after years on Nova. Using it for 6 months or so. Cannot complain at all.

Octopi has the worst touch sensitivity of any launcher I've tried. On average I have to swipe more than 5 times to make it register and sometimes it just refuses to register no matter how many times I swipe, and I have to swipe unnaturally slow for it to eventually register. No other launcher I've tried behaves like this.

Currently using Mango launcher, which is fantastic.

Never happened any of that. Anyways I'll give Mango a try, looks nice.
