Me too, the 4a has the best form factor.

Finger print sensor on the back was / is peak.
I used to miss that now I don't and prefer in glass.
Well, I also prefer sensor in glass, to easily unlock the phone when resting on a surface.
Yes I miss that, I remember it having swiping shortcuts too. I had a Nexus 5X and it was good except for the bricking due to badly soldered flash 🤦♂️
I'm still a fan of Nova Launcher and I just have all the network connections disabled on it so I can keep some sort of swipe control. I bought the APK ages back and like maybe once a year I bother them for a license key so I can have full access to it. 😅
Oh shit I haven't used that in ages. I still have the pro unlock in the play store.
You can DM them and they'll give you access to your license key. You just have to prove that you purchased it, so if you dig into the archives of your play purchases, it should be there.
